Futures / Open Positions
In futures trading (e.g., on Chicago Mercantile Exchange):
Market value of your position = Current futures price × Contract size × Number of contracts
Example:

• Gold futures price = $2,000
• Contract size = 100 oz
• 1 contract

Market value = $200,000
This is not your profit — it’s the total contract value.
Your actual gain/loss depends on entry price.
