Contract Size

[jwitt98]

I was wondering if there was any way to get the contract size from historical futures data. I have a position sizing algorithm set up that calculates the qty for the position. It works fine for stocks, but for futures, for example, it tries to enter a position for 1000 contracts instead of one contract for 1000 units.
I was trying to find some way to get the contract size so I could accurately calculate the correct number of contracts to enter based on the amount of risk and account size for back testing purposes.
Thanks in advance,,,
