The standard is 100 shares. If you want more than 100 shares, you've got to buy multiple contracts. This has a big advantage: if you own 10 calls that will be profitable if the stock hits $15 per share and the stock hits $16.50, and you think it'll go higher, you can exercise some of the calls to lock in your profit, and hang onto some to try making more money.
Is a futures contract a type of options contract where you are either a seller of a call or a seller of a put?
A futures contract is different from an option contract: an option contract allows the buyer to choose to exercise the contract. A futures contract obligates you to do it. Example: You and I decide to buy calls on 100 shares of Acme stock at 22 with June 1 settlement date. You buy a futures contract, and I get an option contract. On May 27, Acme drops to 10 and stays there. On June 1, you must buy 100 shares of $10 stock for $22 per share. My option is out of the money, and I never exercise it. The "obligation" part explains why futures contracts on stock are very, very rare. Almost all futures contracts are written against commodities.
