With "positionDecimalPlaces": "2", you will allow for 0.01 contracts which makes the notional value of the trade very small, around 6-7 cents at current valuation of LINK, perhaps changing that to 0 might be better to allow for the smallest order size to be 6-7 USD instead or 1 for 60-70 cents?

Note if you do decide to change the positionDecimals, you mention it in your rationale so ideally change it there too.

Just updated the position decimal
