NAS100 Prop Firm Risk Plan: Exact Lot Caps for FTMO, FundingPips & The5ers Challenges

Direct Technical Answer

NAS100 lot size for a $100K prop firm account is 14.28 CFD lots at a 70-point stop when 1.00 lot is $1 per point, or about 7 MNQ at $2 per point. Formula: lots = 1000 / (stop points × point value). Use half that size at 0.50% so the 9:30 ET open whip cannot spend the day.

Nasdaq sizing fails when a trader copies 14.28 CFD lots onto CME E-mini NQ at $20 per point. That is a twenty-times error. On a $1 CFD, 14.28 lots at 70 points is $1,000. On NQ, 14 contracts at 70 points is $19,600. The 9:30 ET double sweep of pre-market high and low is why the evaluation default is about 7 CFD lots, not the ceiling.

Name the point value before you name the lot

Prop CFD: often $1 per point, so a 70-point stop is $70 per lot and 1000 / 70 = 14.28 lots. MNQ: $2 per point, so the same $1,000 is 7.14 micros (often rounded to 7). E-mini NQ: $20 per point, so $1,000 is 0.71 contracts, which means 1 NQ is already a 1.4% risk at 70 points. Pick one spec and stay there.

Typical spreads are 0.8 to 1.8 points. Daily ATR is 220 to 420 points. Intraday stops belong at 55 to 95 points. A 25-point scalp stop on 40 CFD lots is inside the opening 15-minute whip and inside a mega-cap earnings gap.

The open whip turns 14.28 lots into a daily-limit event

A 5% floor is $5,000. At $1 per point, 5,000 points on 1.00 lot ends the day, but 14.28 lots only need 350 points. That is inside a large NAS100 ATR and inside an earnings gap. 7.14 lots at 70 points is $500 if filled cleanly, and $1,000 if the stop slips to 140 points, which the 9:30 ET tape can do.

If you start free on Venasri, wait until 9:45 ET before the first sized ticket. Set Venasri Equity Guard to flatten near 3.5% so a second 9:50 ET reversal cannot spend the last 1.5%.

US500 and NAS100 are one equity book

Correlation near 0.91 means a full NAS100 ticket plus a full US500 ticket is about 1.8× US equity beta. If NAS100 already uses 7 CFD lots, US500 does not get 27 CFD lots on the same morning. Split one $500 budget or pick the cleaner index.

US30 is the same family. Mega-cap earnings that gap Nasdaq will splash the Dow and the S&P. Correlation Guard should cap the three-index stack so 14.28 lots are not hiding under two more "small" index tickets.

Size from 20250, after the double sweep

Measure the stop beyond 20000, 20250, or 20500 plus the opening range. If that is 90 points on a $1 CFD, 0.50% is 5.55 lots. Do not cut the stop to 35 points to keep 14 lots. The open will take 35.

Confirm 13:30 to 16:30 UTC or 19:00 to 20:00 UTC power hour, spread under 1.8 points, and no 12:30 UTC CPI on the AI Pre-Trade Checklist. Nasdaq lots look huge next to gold. They are huge only if the point value is $20 and you missed it.

Frequently Asked Questions: NAS100 Prop Firm Risk Plan: Exact Lot Caps for FTMO, FundingPips & The5ers Challenges

What NAS100 lot size should a $100,000 prop account use?

14.28 CFD lots at a 70-point stop when the spec is $1 per point, or about 7 MNQ at $2 per point. Evaluations should use half. Never place 14 E-mini NQ contracts; that is about $19,600 at 70 points.

How do I convert CFD lots to MNQ or NQ?

Match dollars of risk, not the lot number. $500 risk at 70 points is 7.14 MNQ ($2/pt) or 0.36 NQ ($20/pt). Round down. If you cannot trade a fraction of NQ, use micros.

Why do I blow the daily limit on the cash open?

NAS100 often sweeps both pre-market extremes in 15 minutes. 14.28 lots × 100 points of whip is $1,428, and a second ticket doubles it. Wait until 9:45 ET and use 7 lots.

Can I trade NAS100 and US500 at full size together?

No. They are 0.91 correlated. Two 0.50% tickets are about 1.00% of the same US equity view. Split one budget or pick one index.
