US30 (Dow Jones) Lot Size Calculator for FundedX

Quick Answer

Firm Rules Summary

Instrument Guide

US30 position sizing is refreshingly simple compared to other indices - each point move equals $1 per lot, no complex multipliers to remember. The 350-point average daily range is crucial for your stop placement strategy. This range means setting stops under 100 points often gets you whipsawed, while stops over 200 points eat too much risk for most prop firm rules. Let's work through realistic examples. On a $100k FundedX account with 1% risk ($1000), using a 150-point stop: Risk per lot = $150, so maximum position = 6.67 lots (round down to 6). At 2% risk ($2000) with the same stop, you get 13 lots maximum. These position sizes align well with US30's typical volatility. The instrument's behavior during different sessions matters for position sizing. Asian session moves are often 50-100 points, while US session can easily see 200+ point swings. Size accordingly - what works for a London open scalp won't work for NFP Friday. US30 suits FundedX's rules perfectly. The 350-point daily range gives plenty of room to hit the 5% profit target without excessive risk, and the straightforward pip value makes it easy to stay within the 3% daily loss limit. Unlike ES or NQ with their multipliers, you won't accidentally blow your account due to position sizing errors. Key advantage: US30's point-per-dollar structure means your risk calculations are bulletproof. When you see a 100-point stop, you know exactly what it costs per lot. This clarity is invaluable when you're managing multiple positions or scaling in and out of trades during volatile sessions.
