DE40 (DAX) Lot Size Calculator for Goat Funded Trader

Quick Answer

Firm Rules Summary

Instrument Guide

The DE40 (DAX) offers clean position sizing with its $1 per point structure - no complex pip calculations needed. Each point of movement equals $1 per lot, making risk management transparent and calculations instant. With a 200-point average daily range, the DAX provides substantial movement for intraday strategies. This range suggests logical stop losses between 40-80 points for swing trades, or 20-40 points for day trades. The instrument respects technical levels well, making these stops realistic rather than just mathematical. Worked example at 1% risk: On a $100k Goat Funded account, 1% risk equals $1,000. With a 50-point stop loss (conservative quarter of daily range), you divide $1,000 by $50 (50 points × $1), giving you 20 lots maximum position size. At 2% risk ($2,000), the same 50-point stop allows 40 lots. For tighter day trading stops around 25 points, 1% risk allows 40 lots, while 2% risk permits 80 lots. These position sizes align well with DE40's liquidity during European session overlap. The DAX suits Goat Funded's rules exceptionally well. The 200-point daily range provides multiple opportunities to hit the 10% profit target without requiring excessive risk. The instrument's volatility during Frankfurt open (8:00-10:00 CET) often delivers 50-100 point moves, allowing profitable trades within the 4% daily loss limit. Contract specification is straightforward - unlike forex pairs with varying pip values or crypto with decimal complications. One lot equals one point of movement equals $1. This simplicity lets you focus on market analysis rather than position sizing math, crucial when managing the 6% maximum drawdown limit while pursuing consistent profits.
