No of Contracts Sold = 05
Contract Size = 100
Selling Price of Gold Future = $1753
Current Price of Gold Future = $1694
Here Selling done at $1753 and post that price of gold depreciated. So there will be profit
Profit from Each Contract = Contract Size * ( Selling Price - Current Price ) = 100 * ( 1753 - 1694)
= 100 * 59 = 5900
Total Profit = No of Contracts * Profit from Each Contract
= 5 * 5900
= 29500
Ans : total profit from this futures contract 29,500
