You can do both depending if you have margin but why have a static contract size? Depending on which market you're in, 10 contracts can be a lot. One tick in natural gas would be hundred bucks and it can, not saying it always will, moves 10 cents in a single day, which is 10 grand... In terms of risk, it's equivalent to trading 10,000 shares in equities and a dollar move is up/down 10 grand.
each futures contract has an initial margin requirement...usually greater than 2 days avg price vol, to ensure that you won't blow up. Should there be a limit to how many shares of stock you can be long or short? Same basic concept...

faceslappingcompilation mswoonc what kind of trading strategies do you all use ?
i used to be rates RV (flies and spreads) but i've transitioned into mostly directional macro (bonds, equity, energy)
dumb question but I'm going to ask anyways do you use any forms of technical analysis?
of course...but there are different flavors of TA. TA is just pattern recognition...but patterns include more than just price....if you include volume, and go down the trade level, in addition to other "alternative" sentiment data, you will find a larger variety of patterns...but that requires neural nets to analyze because there is more data than your brain can internalize.
classical TA just uses price (whether that be candle sticks, trendlines, or volatility and moving averages....but with the ability to analyze the wide swath of volume data in addition to price, there are more creative ways to choose trades.
it took me many years of observing markets to find the patterns that i trade today. Not just things you can see on a chart...but how markets react to news...what does it mean when a market does not react to news as you would expect it to, and volume patterns in those situations...etc...everything possible to try to predict the future of prices
