The term contract size refers to the deliverable quantity of a stock, commodity, or financial instrument that underlies a futures or options contract. It is a standardized amount that tells traders the exact quantities that are being bought or sold based on the terms of the contract. Contract sizes are often standardized by exchanges and vary depending on the commodity or instrument. They also determine the dollar value of a unit move or a tick size in the underlying commodity or instrument.
