    Sir I m getting bit confused can u please make it clear that am I right that only in intrest rate futures we divide by 3 while calculating number of contract and at other places as well but in currency futures its normal we don’t divide.

    It is only when dealing with interest rate futures and options (because the profits/losses are calculated on the basis of them being 3 month futures).

    “conventional investment decision” is not a special term. Conventional means normal, but since it is not a special term, it really depends on the context in which the expression is being used.
