The fair value of a futures contract is the price of the contract that is neutral between a stock buyer buying on a physical exchange and actually buying the stock and agreeing to buy the futures contract.
An index futures contract is a legally binding contract between a buyer and a seller that tracks the price of the underlying stock of the index. It allows traders to buy and sell contracts on financial indices and settle at a later date. A futures lot size is the minimum ticket size of a stock that can be traded on a futures contract. When trading futures and options, these instruments may only be bought or sold in at least 1 lot or multiples of the lot size. For example, Nifty's lot size is 75 units, so Nifty can only trade in multiples of 75.
