2. CNX Nifty Index futures: contract value = Price * 2 USD
3. Nikkei 225 futures: contract value = Price * 500 JPY
4. MSCI Singapore Index futures: contract value = Price * 100 SGD
5. MSCI Taiwan Index futures: contract value = Price * 100 USD
Please make sure that you familiarize yourself with the expiration dates of the different contracts. You can find these by reviewing the trading and holiday calendar.
