Contract Specification

A contract specification defines the terms of a listed product. It may include the underlying asset, contract size, tick size, expiry date, settlement method, delivery process, trading hours and margin rules.

Definition and Infrastructure Context

Contract Specification should be understood in the context of regulated exchange infrastructure, where terminology affects system design, operating rules, market participant workflows and post-trade controls.

ADEX Technology links this definition to relevant exchange technology, clearing, settlement, market infrastructure and operational control pages so institutional readers can understand how the term is used across the infrastructure stack.
