UK100 Trading Strategy and Contract Guide: Institutional Zones, Lot Sizing & MT5 Automation

Direct Technical Answer

UK100 on a $100,000 prop account is about $1.29 (£1) per index point per lot, 0.8 to 1.5 point spreads, and a 65 to 115 point daily ATR. Lots = 1000 / (stop points × 1.29) = 27.66 lots at a 28-point stop, or 13.83 lots at 0.50% risk.

FTSE funded accounts usually fail on 06:00 UTC leftovers and on oil stacks, not on a Nasdaq-style 9:30 whip. 27.66 lots look huge because ATR is only 65 to 115 points and the tick is $1.29. Hold that size through UK CPI and a 40-point gap is $1,400. Add UKOIL in the same energy direction and the 5% box is a sector bet, not an index bet.

27 lots is 1% only with a 28-point fill

13.83 lots lose about $17.80 per point. A 28-point stop is $500. A 50-point 06:00 UTC gap is $890. 27.66 lots would be $1,780. Default 13.83 lots after 07:30 UTC, flat into 06:00.

connect your MT5 account to Venasri and block 05:50 to 07:30 UTC on data days. Equity Guard at 3.5% covers BoE slippage on a pair that people treat as "slow."

Energy weights and BoE banks

If WTI is dumping, FTSE energy weights dump. Long UK100 plus long UKOIL is stacked crude. BoE days reprice banks. Mean reversion still works on quiet LSE mornings; it does not work through those two headlines at 13.83 lots.

US overlap is optional. Do not import NAS100 14-lot habits at 13:30 UTC onto 27 FTSE lots. Different ATR, different tick, different stocks.

Sterling tick plus energy budget

Set 1.29 in the Half-Kelly Lot Size Calculator & Equity Guard. Share risk with UKOIL and GBPUSD when those are the actual drivers. Combined 0.50%.

Intraday 22 to 36 points at 13.83 lots. Swing 55 to 95 at ~7 lots. Scalp 10 to 18 only after 08:00 UTC with spread under 1.5 and no oil headline in the last hour.

UK100 checklist: 07:30 UTC, 06:00/BoE clear, oil not stacked, £ tick

Require LSE morning after any 06:00 print, BoE clear, unused energy budget, $1.29 tick confirmed, spread under 1.5, 28-point-class stop, 50-handle mapped.

Save it on the Pre-Trade AI Confluence Checklist. Manual Trade Guard attaches 28 points on fill; 27 lots of FTSE at $1.29 is still real money when BP gaps.

Frequently Asked Questions: UK100 Trading Strategy and Contract Guide: Institutional Zones, Lot Sizing & MT5 Automation

What UK100 size should a $100,000 challenge use at 06:00 UTC?

Zero. After 07:30 UTC, 13.83 lots at a 28-point stop. 27.66 lots is a 1% ceiling for a quiet mean-reversion morning with no oil ticket open.

Can I trade FTSE as a calmer Nasdaq?

No. Correlation exists on global risk days, but weights are miners, energy, banks. Use it as a London mean-reversion and commodity-sensitive index, at 13.83 lots, not as a NAS100 substitute at 14 lots.

Should I hold UK100 with UKOIL?

Only inside one 0.50% energy budget. Full 13.83 FTSE lots plus 1.66 oil lots is crude twice. Pick the cleaner expression of the oil view.

Does a £1 tick change prop dollar risk versus GER40?

Yes. $1.29 vs ~$1.08 means fewer points of stop (28 vs 55) produce similar dollars at different lot counts. Always convert. Sterling strength changes UK100 dollar risk even if FTSE points did not move.
