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

Direct Technical Answer

ETHUSD contract size is 1 ETH per 1.00 lot on the normalized $1-per-point spec (some brokers use 10 ETH). Typical spread is 1.2 to 3.0 points with an $85 to $190 daily ATR. For $100,000, lots = 1000 / (stop dollars × 1), which is 20.00 ETH units at a $50 stop.

Ether lags Bitcoin by 15 to 45 minutes on breakouts, then catch-up expands from H1 Fair Value Gaps at high velocity. That lag is the edge and the trap: fading a "late" ETH move that is actually the catch-up. Spreads 1.2 to 3.0 points on an $85 to $190 ATR are friendlier than BTC's $12 to $28, but weekend books still thin out. Confirm whether 1.00 lot is 1 ETH or 10 ETH before you type 20 lots.

1 ETH or 10 ETH: the spec that changes 20 lots

Normalized here: 1 ETH per lot at $1.00 per $1.00. Then 20.00 lots at a $50 stop is $1,000. If the broker uses 10 ETH per lot, 2.00 lots is the same dollars and 20.00 lots is a 10× blow-up. Read the specification twice. Spread 1.2 to 3.0 points. ATR $85 to $190. Handles 2500, 2600, 2700 ($50 / $100).

Peak liquidity is London-NY 12:00 to 20:00 UTC, overlapping BTC ETF hours. 24/7 still applies. Weekend ETH can underperform then catch up in a $80 candle that a $50 stop does not contain.

The 15 to 45 minute BTC lag

BTC breaks a $1,000 handle. ETH sits. Traders short ETH "because it failed." 20 to 40 minutes later ETH expands through a H1 FVG and those shorts are the liquidity. The lot formula does not care about that story, but your stop does: $35 to $65 intraday, not $15, when BTC already ran.

connect your MT5 account to Venasri and treat BTC direction as a filter, not as an auto-copy at full 20 ETH units. If BTC is already 0.55 lots, ETH is a residual 8 units or skip.

20.00 units at $50, half that on an evaluation

On $1/point per ETH: lots = 1000 / 50 = 20.00 at 1%, 10.00 at 0.50%. Scalp $15 to $28, intraday $35 to $65, swing $95 to $170. Put the true tick ($1 or $10) in the Half-Kelly Lot Size Calculator & Equity Guard.

Correlation with BTC is about 0.89. SOL is higher beta still. One crypto budget. US macro still dumps ETH in NY hours via BTC. Weekend thin books turn 1.2 to 3.0 point spreads into 6 to 10.

Trade the catch-up after BTC, in overlap hours, with a $50-class stop

Wait for BTC to break. Enter ETH FVG continuation in 12:00 to 20:00 UTC at $50 handles, 10 units, $35 to $65 stop. Do not fade the lag. Flatten or 4 units on weekends if allowed.

Confirm BTC lead, lot spec, unused BTC budget, and weekend rule on the Pre-Trade AI Confluence Checklist. ETHUSD is a delayed BTC beta. It is not an independent 20-lot FX pair.

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

What is ETHUSD pip value per 1.00 lot?

On the 1 ETH spec, $1.00 per $1.00 move. On a 10 ETH spec, $10.00 per $1.00. The 20.00 unit 1% figure assumes $1 per ETH at a $50 stop. If lots control 10 ETH, use 2.00 lots for the same $1,000.

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

20.00 ETH units at a $50 stop on $1/point, or 2.00 lots on a 10 ETH contract. 10.00 units at 0.50%. Confirm the spec before copying 20 into MT5.

Why wait for Bitcoin before sizing Ether?

ETH often lags 15 to 45 minutes then catch-up runs $40 to $80. Sizing 20 units against that catch-up is fading BTC beta. Use BTC as the lead filter and ETH as the continuation ticket.

How do I convert ETH dollars to lots if my broker uses 10 ETH?

Tick = $10 per $1. lots = 1000 / (stop dollars × 10). At $50 that is 2.00 lots for 1%. Write that preset so you never type 20 on a 10 ETH symbol.
