Direct Technical Answer

NAS100 on a $100,000 prop CFD account is $1.00 per index point per 1.00 lot (or $2 MNQ / $20 NQ), 0.8 to 1.8 point spreads, and a 220 to 420 point daily ATR. Lots = 1000 / (stop points × 1) = 14.28 lots at a 70-point stop, or 7.14 lots at 0.50% risk.

Nasdaq evaluations die at 9:30:01 AM ET more than at midnight. Both pre-market extremes print, 14 lots of "breakout" fill, and 70 points later the other extreme prints. Add NVDA earnings Sunday gap and an 8:30 AM CPI futures dive, and a 5% daily limit is a morning email. The playbook is mechanical: no trade in the first 15 minutes, 7.14 lots after the sweep, flatten into mega-cap prints.

Opening range versus a $5,000 box

7.14 lots at $1/point lose $7.14 per point. A 140-point open whip is $1,000, a full 1% on an evaluation that wanted 0.50%. 14.28 lots would be $2,000 for the same whip, twice, if you reverse. ATR 220 to 420 points means the whole day can live inside 5% at 1% size.

connect your MT5 account to Venasri and hard-block 13:30 to 13:45 UTC entries. Equity Guard at 3.5% (3.0% on CPI days) stops the second revenge ticket after the first sweep.

CPI at 8:30, cash at 9:30, earnings at 16:01

8:30 AM ET data reprices NQ futures before NYSE opens. Holding 7.14 lots into that print is a news trade, not an open-drive trade. Mega-cap earnings after the bell gap the next cash session. If weekend holding is banned, flatten Friday. If allowed, 3.50 lots max overnight.

Power hour 3:00 to 4:00 PM ET is MOC-and-gamma flow. Do not add 14 lots at 3:50 PM into a dealer wall. Correlation with US500 and US30 is 0.91: one index ticket, not three.

One US-index budget, correct tick value

NAS100, US500, US30 share beta. Combined 0.50%. Lock $1 (CFD), $2 (MNQ), or $20 (NQ) in the Half-Kelly Lot Size Calculator & Equity Guard. Wrong tick value is a silent breach.

Intraday 55 to 95 points at 7.14 CFD lots after 9:45 AM. Swing 150 to 260 points at ~3.50 lots. Scalp 25 to 45 points only after the opening range is set and spread is under 1.5.

NAS100 checklist: 9:45 AM, sweep done, no CPI, no earnings, one index

Require 9:45 to 11:15 AM or power hour with reduced size, pre-market sweep complete, 8:30 AM clear, unused US30/US500 budget, spread under 1.8, 70-point-class stop, 250-handle mapped.

Put that on the Pre-Trade AI Confluence Checklist. Manual Trade Guard attaches 70 points on fill; the open does not give you time to drag a stop on 14 lots of Nasdaq.

Frequently Asked Questions: NAS100 Trading Strategy and Contract Guide: Institutional Zones, Lot Sizing & MT5 Automation

What NAS100 size should a $100,000 challenge use at 9:30 AM?

Zero new lots from 9:30 to 9:45 AM ET. After the sweep, 7.14 CFD lots at a 70-point stop (0.50%). 14.28 lots is a 1% ceiling for a clean 10 AM trend with no other index open.

Should I trade NAS100 through CPI at 8:30 AM ET?

No at 7.14 lots. Futures can drop 150 points before cash. If you must hold, 3.50 lots with a 150-point swing stop you pre-accepted. Most evaluations should be flat.

Can I run NAS100 and US30 together?

Not at two 0.50% tickets. Correlation is about 0.91. Pick the cleaner opening-range break. Stacking 7 Nasdaq lots plus 10 Dow lots is one US-beta hit.

Do crypto prop rules apply to NAS100?

No. This is an equity-index CFD with a cash open. Weekend gaps still matter around earnings. Crypto-style 24/7 holding is how Monday 9:30 AM becomes a gap through Friday's 70-point stop.
