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 --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
)
