UK100 Lot Size and Pip Value Calculator: Contract Size, Tick Value & Kelly Sizing

Direct Technical Answer

UK100 contract size is 1 index CFD per 1.00 lot at about $1.29 (£1) per 1.0 index point. Typical spread is 0.8 to 1.5 points with a 65 to 115 point daily ATR. For $100,000, lots = 1000 / (stop points × 1.29), which is 27.66 lots at a 28-point stop.

FTSE 100 is a miners, energy, and banks index, not a Nasdaq clone. It mean-reverts at Bollinger and H1 structure with much less 9:30 AM whip. The pip is £1, about $1.29, so 27.66 lots at 28 points is 1% of $100,000. Copying GER40 16.83 lots here ignores both the heavier sterling tick and the smaller 65 to 115 point ATR. UK 06:00 UTC data and BoE still own the open.

£1 per point, about $1.29, smaller ATR

UK100 CFDs are often £1 per point, ~$1.29 at typical Cable. 1000 / (28 × 1.29) = 27.70, stored as 27.66 lots at 1%. If your spec is $1, lots rise. If it is £10, lots crash. Spread 0.8 to 1.5 points. ATR 65 to 115 points is closer to US500 in "points of body," not to DAX 180 to 310.

Handles 8250, 8300, 8350 (50/100). London Stock Exchange 07:00 to 10:30 UTC is the session. Oil and mining swings can trend it without a US headline because those sectors dominate the weight.

06:00 UTC UK data, BoE, and commodity beta

UK CPI/GDP at 06:00 UTC hits before the 07:00 cash open, so the Xetra-style gap can already be in the futures. BoE days reprice banks. WTI/UKOIL swings reprice energy weights. This is why FTSE can trend while NAS100 chops, and why it is a terrible NAS100-beta hedge.

connect your MT5 account to Venasri and black out 06:00 UTC and BoE. The 10 to 18 point scalp stop is for post-08:00 UTC mean reversion, not for the 07:00 print after a 06:00 shock.

27.66 lots at 28 points using 1.29

lots = 1000 / (stop × 1.29). At 28 points: 27.66 at 1%, 13.83 at 0.50%. Scalp 10 to 18, intraday 22 to 36, swing 55 to 95. Set 1.29 in the Half-Kelly Lot Size Calculator & Equity Guard. A $1 leftover tick would size 35.71 lots and overshoot 1% by 29%.

If UKOIL or GBPAUD is open, you may already own energy or sterling. Haircut UK100. It is not a sterile "index diversifier" when BP and Shell are the move.

Trade LSE morning mean reversion, not Nasdaq open habits

After 07:30 UTC, fade Bollinger/H1 extremes toward 50-handles with 22 to 36 point stops, 13.83 lots. Skip 06:00 and BoE. Do not wait for 13:30 UTC unless oil is the thesis into NY.

Confirm sterling tick, UK calendar, and unused energy budget on the Pre-Trade AI Confluence Checklist. UK100 is a London mean-reversion index with commodity beta. It is not a mini-DAX and not a mini-Nasdaq.

Frequently Asked Questions: UK100 Lot Size and Pip Value Calculator: Contract Size, Tick Value & Kelly Sizing

What is UK100 pip value per 1.00 lot?

Often £1 per point, about $1.29. Confirm MT5. The 27.66 lot 1% figure uses $1.29 and a 28-point stop. Recalculate when GBPUSD trends, because the dollar tick rides Cable.

What lot size is 1% of $100,000 on UK100?

27.66 lots at 28 points and $1.29/point. 13.83 lots at 0.50%. GER40 16.83 and NAS100 14.28 are different ATRs and ticks. Do not paste them.

How do I convert a pound point to dollars?

If the CFD is £1/point, dollar value = GBPUSD (about $1.29). At 1.25 use $1.25. At 1.33 use $1.33. Equity Guard must match. A frozen $1.29 after a 400-pip Cable trend is stale.

Why is FTSE calmer than NAS100?

Different stocks: miners, energy, banks, global earners, less mega-cap tech gamma. ATR 65 to 115 points versus Nasdaq 220 to 420. You still have 06:00 UTC and BoE. Calm is not "no calendar."
