Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate my position size on NAS100?
Take your target dollar risk (for example, $100 if you risk 1% on a $10,000 account) and divide it by your stop-loss distance in points multiplied by the point value ($1/lot). With a 50-point stop, your calculated position is exactly 2.00 lots. Enter this number into the Volume field on MetaTrader or cTrader.
What contract size does 1.00 standard lot represent on NAS100?
One standard lot controls exactly 1 contracts. If that notional size is too large for your account, most brokers let you trade fractional mini lots (0.10) or micro lots (0.01) to keep your dollar risk within budget.
How much should I risk per trade on NAS100?
Stick to 1% to 2% of your account balance per trade. If you are taking a prop firm challenge (such as FTMO, FundedNext, or 5%ers), keep it tighter—between 0.5% and 1%. That gives you enough breathing room to absorb four or five consecutive losses without violating the 5% daily drawdown rule.
Market Specifications & Execution Reference
Contract multipliers for NAS100 adhere to standard retail and prime broker conventions (1 contracts per 1.00 lot, priced to 2 decimal places). In disciplined trading, position sizing is dictated by technical invalidation levels rather than broker margin limits. Prop trading evaluation rules (such as FTMO, FundedNext, and 5%ers) enforce strict 5% maximum daily drawdown limits and 10% total trailing drawdown rules. Sizing each trade between 0.5% and 1.5% prevents losing streaks from breaching daily equity thresholds. All calculations execute client-side in your local browser for zero execution latency.
