Calculate contract-based futures position sizes from a direction, entry, and stop-loss, using verified per-symbol contract specs (multiplier, tick size, tick value). Use when the user asks how many futures contracts to trade, wants to size a futures position (ES, NQ, ZB, GC, CL, 6E/E6, VX, BT, ...), or is handing off a contrarian-setup-gate READY_FOR_PLAN direction/invalidation_level for sizing. Pure, offline calculation -- no API keys, no network.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# 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 …

How to install
mdr add tradermonty/claude-trading-skills/futures-position-sizer@sha256:4ffecedcbe629b63The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261024.f5278cb, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
