US30 Lot Size and Pip Value Calculator: Contract Size, Tick Value & Kelly Sizing

Direct Technical Answer

US30 contract size is 1 index CFD per 1.00 lot at $1.00 per 1.0 point on typical prop CFDs ($5/pt CME YM, $0.50/pt MYM). Typical spread is 1.2 to 2.5 points with a 320 to 600 point daily ATR. For $100,000, lots = 1000 / (stop points × 1.00), which is 10.00 lots at a 100-point stop.

Dow is price-weighted across 30 names, so UNH, GS, MSFT, and CAT earnings shove handles that Nasdaq's mega-cap tape hides. After 9:30 to 9:45 AM ET the opening range settles, and Volume Profile POC plus 0.618 ZigZag levels actually hold. A 40-point scalp stop into the bell on 10 lots is how a 320 to 600 point ATR index spends a $100,000 daily limit before 10 AM.

$1 CFD point, $5 YM, $0.50 MYM

Prop US30/DJ30 CFDs are often $1.00 per point per lot. YM is $5 per point. MYM is $0.50. 10.00 CFD lots at a 100-point stop is $1,000 at $1/point. That same 10 lots on YM would be $5,000, the entire 5% daily box, because someone copied a CFD lot onto a futures symbol.

Spread 1.2 to 2.5 points, wider than NAS100. ATR 320 to 600 points, larger in index points than Nasdaq even when percentage vol is lower. Handles 42000, 42500, 43000 (250/500/000) are the psychological steps.

NYSE bell, component earnings, 8:30 AM data

9:30 AM ET opening bell is a whip just like Nasdaq, but the names differ: UNH, GS, CAT can gap the price-weighted index when NVDA is quiet. 8:30 AM PPI/CPI/NFP still gaps YM first. Pre-market component prints are the Dow-specific calendar, not only mega-cap tech.

connect your MT5 account to Venasri and wait for the 9:30 to 9:45 AM range to settle before using POC and 0.618 entries. The first 15 minutes is inventory, not a Volume Profile signal.

10.00 lots at 100 points

On $1/point: lots = 1000 / (stop × 1). At 100 points that is 10.00 lots at 1%, 5.00 lots at 0.50%. Scalp 40 to 65 only after 9:45 AM, intraday 80 to 140, swing 220 to 380. Set $1 (or $5 / $0.50) in the Half-Kelly Lot Size Calculator & Equity Guard.

If NAS100 is already 7 lots, US30 does not get 5 more. 0.91 correlation. One US-index budget. Price-weighting does not make Dow "uncorrelated blue chips" on CPI day.

Trade after the opening range, at POC, not at the bell

Let 9:30 to 9:45 AM print. Then fade or break the range using POC and 0.618 against 250-handles, spread under 2.5, 100-point-class stop. Prime is 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM ET once the whip is done. Skip 8:30 AM holds at 10 lots.

Confirm range-complete, component-earnings clear, and unused Nasdaq budget on the Pre-Trade AI Confluence Checklist. US30 is a post-open structure index. It is a poor bell-scalp at 1.2 to 2.5 point spreads.

Frequently Asked Questions: US30 Lot Size and Pip Value Calculator: Contract Size, Tick Value & Kelly Sizing

What is US30 pip value per 1.00 lot?

Typically $1.00 per point on prop CFDs, $5 on YM, $0.50 on MYM. Confirm the spec. A 100-point stop on 10 CFD lots is $1,000; on 10 YM it is $5,000.

What lot size is 1% of $100,000 on US30?

10.00 CFD lots at a 100-point stop and $1/point. 5.00 lots at 0.50%. On YM at $5/point, 1% at 100 points is 2.00 contracts. Do not paste 10 lots onto YM.

Why is the Dow stop 100 points when Nasdaq uses 70?

US30 ATR is 320 to 600 points versus NAS100 220 to 420, and the opening range is wider in Dow points. 40 to 65 is a scalp only after 9:45 AM. 100 points is the 1% reference that matches the body.

How does price-weighting change lot math?

It does not change dollars per point. It changes which headlines move those points. UNH or GS earnings can run 150 Dow points while Nasdaq is quiet. Calendar is the difference; $1/point is still $1/point.
