    Ups, that was before my morning coffee. Should be the inverse of the fraction, so, 100000/199250*3=1.5 contracts. That would result in a position 3 times the size of the account balance so all gains and losses are amplified 3x the actual return, of course RELATIVE to the account balance. To get an accurate 3x exposure on a 100k account one would obviously have to trade the micro contracts or via other correlated instruments that allow for that much leverage.

    3 is incorrect, unless OP's account balance is around 200,000.
