What is contract size?

Every futures contract has different contract size.

Each futures contract specifies the quantity of the product delivered for a single contract, also known as contract size. For example: 5,000 bushels of corn, 1,000 barrels of crude oil, or Treasury bonds with a face value of $100,000 are all contract sizes for 1 futures contract in the respective product.
