futures-position-sizer

futures-position-sizer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tradermonty/claude-trading-skills. It costs 114 tokens per session (2,557 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A calculator for determining how many futures contracts fit within a chosen trading-risk limit, using the contract’s verified multiplier, tick size, and tick value.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to size futures positions from a symbol, direction, entry price, stop-loss, and risk budget, or from an approved setup report.
Why use it?
Futures contracts can represent very different dollar amounts for the same price movement, so using a regular stock position calculator could produce the wrong size.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

futures-position-sizer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (scripts/futures_position_sizer.py, scripts/futures_sizing.py, scripts/tests/conftest.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Futures Position Sizer

Overview

Shapiro pipeline step 4: convert a direction, entry price, and stop-loss into a contract count, given an account risk budget and a verified contract spec (multiplier, tick size, tick value). This is a NEW, separate skill from position-sizer -- futures contracts are leveraged, multiplier-based instruments with wildly different dollar-per-point values (a $0.25 move is $12.50 on ES but $5.00 on NQ and $31.25 on ZB); reusing the equity share-count sizer for futures would silently produce wrong position sizes.

Two ways to size a trade:

  • Mode A (explicit): supply --symbol --direction --entry --stop directly.
  • Mode B (gate handoff): supply --gate-json <contrarian-setup-gate report> --entry. Direction and stop (the gate's invalidation_level) come from the gate's READY_FOR_PLAN report -- the sizer never sizes a setup the gate has not confirmed as READY, and never accepts an explicit --direction/--stop alongside --gate-json (the gate is authoritative when provided).

--entry is ALWAYS required, in both modes -- neither this skill nor the gate ever derives an entry price; the operator supplies it.

When to Use

  • After contrarian-setup-gate reaches READY_FOR_PLAN and you need a contract count for the confirmed direction and stop
  • User asks "how many ES/NQ/GC/CL/... contracts should I trade?"
  • User has a futures trade idea with a known entry and stop and wants risk-based sizing
  • User wants to check the verified contract spec (multiplier/tick size/tick value) for a symbol before sizing (--list-specs)

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.9+, standard library only -- no API keys, fully offline
  • A direction, entry, and stop (mode A), or a contrarian-setup-gate JSON report with setup_status: READY_FOR_PLAN (mode B)
  • For a symbol outside the verified 23-market core table: its multiplier, tick size, and quote currency (all three, together)

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
