NAS100 Lot Size and Pip Value Calculator: Contract Size, Tick Value & Kelly Sizing

Direct Technical Answer

NAS100 contract size is 1 index CFD per 1.00 lot at $1.00 per point ($20 NQ, $2 MNQ). Typical spread is 0.8 to 1.8 points with a 220 to 420 point daily ATR. For $100,000, lots = 1000 / (stop points × 1), which is 14.28 CFD lots at a 70-point stop.

Nasdaq 100 does its damage in the first 15 minutes after 9:30 AM ET (13:30 UTC). The cash open regularly sweeps both the pre-market high and the pre-market low before the true Fair Value Gap trend starts between 9:45 and 11:15 AM. If you size 14.28 lots using a 25-point stop because "it is $1 a point," that opening whip is a full stop, then another, then a daily-limit conversation.

$1 per point on the CFD, $20 on NQ, $2 on MNQ

Prop MT5 NAS100/US100 CFDs usually pay $1.00 per 1.0 index point per 1.00 lot. CME E-mini NQ is $20 per point. Micro MNQ is $2 per point. Mixing those three is how a "14 lot" ticket is either a reasonable 70-point CFD stop or a $280-per-point NQ monster. Read the specification window before you copy a YouTube lot.

Spread 0.8 to 1.8 points. ATR 220 to 420 points. Handles 20000, 20250, 20500 (100/250/500/000) are dealer and algo magnets. A 25 to 45 point scalp stop is for 9:45 AM onward, not for the 9:30:00 print.

The 9:30 AM whip, mega-cap earnings, and 8:30 AM CPI

13:30 UTC cash open: both pre-market extremes often print inside 15 minutes. Trading that candle is buying a coin flip at 0.8 to 1.8 points of spread plus slippage. CPI/NFP at 12:30 UTC (8:30 AM ET) gaps futures before cash even opens, so a 70-point stop placed at 8:25 AM is already a rumor.

Mega-cap tech earnings (AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, AMZN, META, TSLA, GOOGL) reprice this index overnight. connect your MT5 account to Venasri and flatten or cut to MNQ-equivalent size into those prints. Power hour 19:00 to 20:00 UTC is the second real session, not a leftover scalp zone at 14 lots.

14.28 CFD lots at 70 points, or 7 MNQ

On a $1/point CFD: lots = 1000 / (stop points × 1). At 70 points that is 14.29, stored as 14.28 lots at 1%. At 0.50% that is 7.14 lots. On MNQ at $2/point, 1% at 70 points is 7.14 micros. On NQ at $20/point, 1% is 0.71 minis, which most props will not let you round to 1.00 without oversizing.

Put $1.00 (or $2.00 / $20.00) in the Half-Kelly Lot Size Calculator & Equity Guard to match the contract you actually trade. A 55 to 95 point intraday stop is the band that survives 9:45 AM structure. A 25-point stop into 9:30 AM is how 14 lots become two losses before 9:40.

Wait until 9:45 AM, then trade the FVG, not the bell

Map pre-market high/low. Let 9:30 to 9:45 AM sweep. Enter the displacement trend 9:45 to 11:15 AM at 100/250 handles, spread under 1.8, 70-point-class stop. Black out 8:30 AM US data. Reduce into power hour if you are already +2R.

Confirm open-sweep complete, unused US30/US500 budget, and earnings calendar on the Pre-Trade AI Confluence Checklist. NAS100 is a 9:45 AM trend index. It is a 9:30 AM prop-firm filter.

Frequently Asked Questions: NAS100 Lot Size and Pip Value Calculator: Contract Size, Tick Value & Kelly Sizing

What is NAS100 pip value per 1.00 lot?

On typical prop CFDs, $1.00 per 1.0 index point. CME NQ is $20/point and MNQ is $2/point. Always read the MT5 contract. Calling all three "Nasdaq" is how lot math explodes.

What lot size is 1% of $100,000 on NAS100?

14.28 CFD lots at a 70-point stop and $1/point, or 7 MNQ micros at $2/point, or 0.71 NQ minis at $20/point. Use 7.14 CFD lots at 0.50% risk. Never start 9:30 AM at the 1% ceiling.

Why not use a 25-point stop to get more lots?

The 9:30 AM whip regularly travels 40 to 80 points. A 25-point stop is inside that noise, so extra lots just buy extra full stops. Wait until 9:45 AM and keep 55 to 95 points.

How do I convert NQ futures size to a prop CFD lot?

NQ $20/pt ÷ CFD $1/pt = 20 CFD lots per 1 NQ. MNQ $2/pt = 2 CFD lots per 1 MNQ. If the firm's NAS100 is $1/pt, 7 MNQ ≈ 14 CFD lots at the same dollar risk for a 70-point stop at 1%.
