Short answer

How do I calculate B3 futures contract volumes with AI?

Give your AI your physical crop volume and the B3 contract specs. The agent uses the calculate_hedge_volume tool to find the exact number of contracts you need. You'll get a precise hedge ratio and contract count.

The results you get

What your AI delivers

Once the calculation is done, your agent provides these specific details.

QUANTITY

Exact contract count

The AI tells you exactly how many B3 contracts to buy or sell. This removes the guesswork from your position sizing.

RATIO

Calculated hedge ratio

You get the specific ratio between your physical volume and the futures contracts. This keeps your hedge proportional to your actual holdings.

SPEC

Contract sizing

The AI maps your physical volume against B3 standard contract sizes. You'll see how the contract units align with your bushels or tons.

HUMAN

Manual execution

The AI provides the math, but you still control the trade. You take the calculated numbers and enter them into your brokerage platform.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

Your AI acts as a specialized calculator by pulling in your physical inventory data and running it through the B3 logic.

  1. Read inventory

    Your agent looks at the crop volumes you provide in your chat or uploaded files.

  2. Run math

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI execute the trades for me?

    No. The AI only calculates the required volume. You must execute the trades yourself through your broker.

  • 02

    Can the AI change my inventory numbers?

    No. The AI only reads the data you provide to perform the calculation; it cannot modify your files or records.

  • 03

    Does it work with any crop?

    It works with any crop volume you provide, as long as you specify the B3 contract type you are hedging against.

  • 04

    What if I use metric tons instead of bushels?

    The AI handles the math, but you should clearly state the units in your prompt to ensure the calculation is correct.

  • 05
