BTCUSD Lot Size and Pip Value Calculator: Contract Size, Tick Value & Kelly Sizing

Direct Technical Answer

BTCUSD contract size is 1 Bitcoin per 1.00 lot, so each $1.00 price move is worth $1.00. Typical spread is 12 to 28 points ($12 to $28) with an $1,800 to $4,200 daily ATR. For a $100,000 prop account, lots = 1000 / (stop dollars × 1), which is 1.11 lots at a $900 (900-point) stop.

Bitcoin trades Saturday. That single fact wrecks FX habits. Weekend liquidation cascades print $1,800 to $4,200 days while human traders sleep, and many crypto prop books cap BTC leverage or ban weekend holds entirely. A 1.00 lot is one coin at $1 per dollar. Copying a 5.00 lot EURUSD size onto BTCUSD is not a lot error. It is a $5,000-per-$1,000-move error.

One coin, $1 per $1, and a $12 to $28 spread

1.00 lot of BTCUSD on most MT5 CFDs is 1 Bitcoin. A $1.00 move (1 point) is $1.00 per lot. A $1,000 dump is $1,000 on 1.00 lot and $1,110 on the 1.11 lot 1% reference. Spread 12 to 28 points is $12 to $28 round-trip per coin, already 1% to 3% of a $900 stop. Compare that with EURUSD 0.2 pips on a $200 stop.

ATR $1,800 to $4,200. Handles 65000, 67500, 70000 ($1,000 / $2,500 / $5,000). Peak institutional volume is US ETF hours 13:30 to 20:00 UTC. The market never closes, so "session" is a volume filter, not a lock.

Weekend gaps, ETF prints, 00:00 UTC funding

Saturday and Sunday books are thin. Liquidation cascades run $2,000 with no CPI. US spot ETF inflow/outflow prints during NY hours reprice like a red folder. 00:00 UTC daily funding/reset shoves perps and some CFDs. If your prop firm forbids weekend holding, Friday 21:00 UTC is an exit, not a suggestion.

connect your MT5 account to Venasri and never leave 1.11 lots unprotected into Saturday. Equity Guard on a 3-second poll exists because BTC does not wait for Monday London.

1.11 lots at $900, not 5 forex lots

lots = 1000 / (stop dollars × 1). At a $900 stop: 1.11 lots at 1%, 0.55 lots at 0.50%. Scalp $250 to $450, intraday $600 to $1,100, swing $1,800 to $3,200. Put $1.00 per point in the Half-Kelly Lot Size Calculator & Equity Guard. If the broker's lot is 0.1 BTC, lots scale ×10 and you must catch that in the spec.

NAS100 beta is real in US hours. If Nasdaq is already 7 lots short, long 1.11 BTC is a fight. Haircut. Crypto majors (ETH, SOL) lag BTC; stacking all three is one coin-beta ticket.

Trade ETF hours or flatten weekends; size in dollars, not pips

Best: 13:30 to 20:00 UTC pullbacks at $1,000 handles with a $600 to $1,100 stop, 0.55 lots. Weekend: flat, or 0.25 lots only if the firm allows and Equity Guard is live. Reject 50-pip FX templates. A "50-pip" BTC move is $50, not a stop.

Confirm weekend rule, ETF calendar, unused NAS100 budget, and $900-class stop on the Pre-Trade AI Confluence Checklist. BTCUSD is a 24/7 coin with prop-specific weekend limits. It is not EURUSD with a bigger number.

Frequently Asked Questions: BTCUSD Lot Size and Pip Value Calculator: Contract Size, Tick Value & Kelly Sizing

What is BTCUSD pip value per 1.00 lot?

Usually $1.00 per $1.00 price move on 1 Bitcoin. A $900 stop on 1.11 lots is $1,000. Confirm the spec: some brokers use 0.1 BTC per lot, which makes 1.00 lot a $0.10 tick and requires 11.1 lots for the same dollars.

What lot size is 1% of $100,000 on BTCUSD?

1.11 lots at a $900 stop when 1.00 lot is 1 BTC at $1/point. 0.55 lots at 0.50%. Never 5.00 forex lots. Recalculate if the contract is a mini coin.

Why is the BTC stop $900 instead of 70 Nasdaq points?

ATR is $1,800 to $4,200. Weekend cascades and ETF prints routinely travel $800. A $250 scalp stop is for US-hour structure, not for Saturday 03:00 UTC. $900 is the 1% structure reference.

How do I convert a BTC move to lot risk?

Risk $ = lots × $1 × dollar stop (on a 1 BTC lot). 0.55 lots × $900 = $495. If lot = 0.1 BTC, Risk $ = lots × $0.10 × dollar stop. Read the contract, then freeze that tick in the calculator.
