Detail:

Financial Contract Quantity sets the volume of the contract.

Example:

Financial Contract	Property	Value	Units	Timeslice
RETAIL #1	Quantity	700	MW	PEAK
RETAIL #1	Quantity	550	MW	OFF-PEAK
RETAIL #1	Floor Price	$55	$/MWh
RETAIL #1	Cap Price	$55	$/MWh

In a Gross Pool this example defines a contract-for-differences (CfD), or two-way contract, with a strike price of $55/MWh. The contract guarantees the generator receives at least this price for generation, and at the same time it guarantees that the load will pay no more than this price for the quantities shown.
