Direct Technical Answer

JPN225 on a $100,000 prop CFD account is typically $1.00 per point per lot, 5.0 to 8.0 point spreads, and a 450 to 850 point daily ATR. Lots = 1000 / (stop points × 1) = 6.25 lots at a 160-point stop, or 3.12 lots at 0.50% risk.

Nikkei prop damage happens while Europe sleeps. A 6.25 lot leftover through BoJ, or a yen spike that dumps exporters 400 points, or overnight Nasdaq that gaps TSE at 00:00 UTC. Spreads of 5 to 8 points make the first 15 minutes of Tokyo a poor scalp. The funded version is 3.12 lots after the open sweep, USDJPY in agreement, no stacked NAS100.

850-point ATR versus a 5% box

3.12 lots lose $3.12 per point. A 320-point BoJ candle is $1,000. 6.25 lots would be $2,000. ATR 450 to 850 points means 1% size can spend most of a 5% day if the 160-point stop gaps. Default 3.12 lots.

connect your MT5 account to Venasri and flatten into BoJ. Equity Guard at 3.0% is reasonable here because yen gaps are fat. Block 00:00 to 00:20 UTC entries the way you block 9:30 AM Nasdaq.

TSE open, yen exporters, leftover Nasdaq

00:00 UTC open sweeps the overnight NQ-implied range. Trade after that, aligned with USDJPY. If overnight Nasdaq already used your beta budget, Nikkei is a skip, not "a new Asia trade."

US session Nikkei is a shadow of NQ. Do not run 3.12 Nikkei lots plus 7 Nasdaq lots at 13:30 UTC. Pick one equity-beta expression.

One Asia beta budget, accept the spread

JPN225 + USDJPY + NAS100 + AUDJPY share risk-on. Combined 0.50%. $1/point and 160-point stop live in the Half-Kelly Lot Size Calculator & Equity Guard. Do not pretend a 5-point spread is 0.8.

Intraday 130 to 220 points at 3.12 lots after the sweep. Swing 350 to 600 at ~1.50 lots. Scalp 60 to 100 only if you can live with 5 to 8 points of friction on a 60-point target (8% to 13% tax).

JPN225 checklist: 00:20 UTC, USDJPY agree, BoJ clear, no NAS stack, 160-point stop

Require TSE sweep complete, USDJPY alignment, BoJ clear, unused Nasdaq budget, $1 tick confirmed, 160-point-class stop, 500-handle mapped, spread acknowledged.

Keep it on the Pre-Trade AI Confluence Checklist. Manual Trade Guard attaches 160 points on fill; 6.25 lots of Nikkei at 00:05 UTC plus a 5-point spread is not a manual-stop market.

Frequently Asked Questions: JPN225 Trading Strategy and Contract Guide: Institutional Zones, Lot Sizing & MT5 Automation

What JPN225 size should a $100,000 challenge use at 00:00 UTC?

Zero until the open sweep finishes (~00:20 UTC). Then 3.12 lots at a 160-point stop. 6.25 lots is a 1% ceiling for a clean Tokyo exporter trend with USDJPY agreeing and Nasdaq not already open.

Should I hold Nikkei through BoJ?

Not at 3.12 lots. Flatten or use ~1.50 lots with a 350-point swing stop you pre-accepted ($525 at $1/point). BoJ can print 400 to 800 points. 160-point stops are suggestions in that regime.

Can I trade JPN225 and NAS100 on the same day?

Yes if combined beta stays 0.50% and sessions do not overlap at full size. Tokyo Nikkei at 3.12 lots, flatten, then Nasdaq at 7 lots after 9:45 AM is a sequence. 3.12 plus 7 at 13:30 UTC is a stack.

Why do I feel nickel-and-dimed by Nikkei spreads?

Because 5 to 8 points on a $1 tick is $5 to $8 per lot round-trip, $31 to $50 on 6.25 lots. Targets must be 130 points plus, not 40. If that tax bothers you, this is not your scalp index; use NAS100 in NY instead.
