How to get Contract Size of Future stocks

vishwash_yadav

Hi,
I have few doubt regarding Future stocks.

1. While getting instrument of either MCX or NFO we get Lotsize as well. So while calculating i use Lotsize as multiplier.
Since for Equity we get LotSize 1 and it's calculating PNL perfectly but problem comes when we calculated PNL for Future stocks, for instance for CRUDEOILMINI we get LotSize 1 but when LTP price moves by 1 PNL moves by 10.

How to handle this kind of scenario. Please help me out regarding this.

Hi,
You can use this formula for calculating P&L,

pnl = (sellValue - buyValue) + (netQuantity * lastPrice * multiplier);

In this, multiplier takes care of lot_size things.
