NAS100 (Nasdaq) Lot Size Calculator for FunderPro

Quick Answer

Firm Rules Summary

Instrument Guide

NAS100 position sizing is refreshingly simple compared to forex - each point move equals $1 per lot, eliminating currency conversion headaches. However, this index's 300-point average daily range demands respect when setting stop losses. Those tight 20-30 point stops you might use on EUR/USD will get demolished here within the first hour of the New York session. For realistic stop placement, think 50-100 points minimum. The index regularly makes 100+ point moves during earnings seasons or Fed announcements, so your stops need breathing room. I typically use 75-point stops for swing trades and 150+ for position trades. Here's how the math works: On a $100k FunderPro account, 1% risk equals $1,000. With a 50-point stop, you can trade maximum 2 lots ($1,000 ÷ 50 points ÷ $1 per point). Bump that to 2% risk ($2,000) and you're looking at 4 lots with the same stop distance. A worked example: You spot a long setup with 75-point stop loss. At 1% risk on $100k, that's $1,000 ÷ 75 = 1.33 lots maximum. Round down to 1.3 lots to stay within limits. At 2% risk, you could trade 2.67 lots, so round to 2.6 lots. NAS100 suits FunderPro's rules well - the 300-point daily range gives plenty of movement to hit that 10% profit target, while the straightforward pip value makes risk management precise. Just respect the volatility and avoid the temptation to overtrade during those explosive tech earnings weeks.
