NAS100 lot size calculator
The Nasdaq is one of the faster moving indices, which is exactly why sizing it by feel goes badly.
Value per point is what one lot of NAS100 gains or loses when the index moves one point. It is 1 dollar at many brokers and 10 or 20 at others, and it is the one number to check in your platform's specification before sizing.
Free, and nothing is stored. Check every figure against your own platform before you trade on it. Nothing here is advice, and trading carries risk.
NAS100 is the name most platforms give a contract on the Nasdaq 100, the index of 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq exchange. It is priced in points and settled in US dollars.
The arithmetic: loss per lot if stopped = stop distance in points × value per point per lot. Lot size = the amount you are prepared to lose ÷ loss per lot.
Worked through: a $10,000 account risking 1% is $100. A stop 40 points away, where one lot is worth $1 a point, loses $40 per lot, so the position is 2.5 lots. At $10 a point the same trade is 0.25 lots.
If your account is in pounds or euros, choose it above and enter your platform's rate. The index is priced in dollars, so the risk is converted into dollars before sizing.
For retail clients of FCA-authorised firms, leverage on major indices including the Nasdaq 100 is capped at 20:1. That limits the largest position you can open, not the size that keeps your risk where you set it.
