Practical use
How to verify Contract family
Read Contract family together with Contract condition, Exotic option, In/Out Ends. The comparison must preserve the exact rule, value, state, and evidence described below.
A neutral example
Under Contract family, the reference crosses a target at 14:02 then ends below at 14:05. The accepted path rule, not the Contract condition screenshot, decides. The evidence must resolve the defining Contract family boundary: up-down, touch-no-touch, and in-out group contracts by payoff logic rather than marketing name.
Evidence path
Where to verify Contract family
Use the source that governs the exact contract, account, entity, or platform state. A general definition cannot replace current broker terms.
