Privacy Policy
The short version: FuturesPosition.com does not collect, store, or sell your personal data. All calculations happen in your browser. We use Google Analytics for anonymous usage statistics only.
This Privacy Policy describes how FuturesPosition.com ("we," "us," or "our") handles information when you use our website located at https://futuresposition.com (the "Site"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how the Site operates.
By using the Site, you agree to the data practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Site.
Data We Collect
We collect two categories of information:
1. Information You Provide
The calculator inputs you enter (account size, stop loss, risk percentage, contract selection) are processed entirely within your browser. This data is never transmitted to our servers, stored, or logged in any form. When you close or refresh the page, all calculator data is discarded.
If you use the Contact page to send us a message, we collect the information you provide in that form (name, email address, and your message). This is used solely to respond to your inquiry.
2. Automatically Collected Information
Like most websites, we automatically collect certain technical information through Google Analytics when you visit the Site. This includes:
- Browser type and version
- Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
- Operating system
- Referring URL (the page that linked you to our Site)
- Pages visited and time spent on each page
- General geographic location (country and city level, not precise location)
- IP address (anonymized by Google Analytics before storage)
This data is aggregated and anonymous - it cannot be used to identify you personally.
How We Use Your Data
We use the limited data we collect for the following purposes only:
- To respond to contact form inquiries - if you contact us, we use your name and email to reply to your message.
- To understand how the Site is used - aggregate analytics help us identify which features are most useful, which pages have high bounce rates, and how to improve the tool for traders.
- To maintain and improve the Site - technical data helps us diagnose performance issues and browser compatibility problems.
We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or any purpose beyond what is listed above.
Cookies
FuturesPosition.com uses a minimal set of cookies. We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting cookies, or any cookies that track you across other websites.
The cookies we use include:
- Google Analytics cookies (
_ga,_gid,_gat) - Used to distinguish unique users and sessions for anonymous traffic analysis. These cookies do not contain personally identifiable information.
You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time. Disabling cookies will not affect the core calculator functionality, which requires no cookies to operate.
Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services:
- Google Analytics - Web analytics service provided by Google LLC. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymous usage data. Google may process this data in the United States. See Google's Privacy Policy for details on how Google handles data.
- Google Fonts - Web fonts served by Google. When you load the Site, your browser may make a request to Google's servers to retrieve font files. See Google's Privacy Policy for details.
We do not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise transfer your information to any third parties for commercial purposes. We do not have advertising partners, affiliate trackers, or data brokers.
Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including:
- Right to access - You may request a copy of any personal data we hold about you.
- Right to deletion - You may request that we delete personal data we hold about you (e.g., a contact form submission).
- Right to correction - You may request correction of inaccurate personal data.
- Right to opt out of analytics - You can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent your data from being collected by Google Analytics.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us. We will respond within 30 days.
Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the limited data we collect. All contact form submissions are transmitted via HTTPS. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Because all calculator inputs are processed entirely in your browser and never transmitted to our servers, your trading account details and position sizing data are never at risk of a server-side breach.

Financial Disclaimer
⚠ Important: Futures trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
FuturesPosition.com provides a position size calculator for educational and informational purposes only. Nothing on this Site constitutes financial advice, investment advice, trading advice, or any other form of advice. The calculations provided are mathematical estimates based on the inputs you provide.
The calculator does not guarantee any specific outcome. Actual results may differ materially from calculator outputs due to:
- Slippage and execution differences between your intended and actual entry/exit prices
- Margin requirements that differ from our estimates - always verify with your broker
- Market gaps that may result in stop losses being filled at worse prices than specified
- Broker-specific margin rules, account restrictions, or contract specifications
- Changes in contract multipliers, tick sizes, or margin requirements by CME Group or your broker
Always verify position sizing calculations and margin requirements directly with your broker before placing any trade. You are solely responsible for all trading decisions made using information from this Site.
Before trading futures, consider whether it is appropriate for your individual circumstances and consult a qualified financial advisor if you are unsure.
