Sizing an Index CFD and Session-Gap Risk

Index CFD specifications are not standardized the way forex lots are. Some brokers quote NAS100 in 0.1 contracts, others in whole points, and the point value can differ, so the same 100 point stop can carry different risk from one broker to another. Confirm the specification, then size from points.

Indices also gap. When the underlying cash market opens or closes, or on scheduled news, price can jump past your stop, so the fill may be worse than the level you set. Size for the trade you intend, and treat the calculated risk as the best case rather than a guarantee.

quiz Frequently Asked Questions

What is 1 lot of NAS100?expand_more
For most CFD brokers, 1 standard lot of NAS100 is worth about 1 dollar per index point, so a 100 point move is $100 per lot. Some brokers use fractional contracts, so confirm your point value in the platform.
How many points should a NAS100 stop loss be?expand_more
That depends on your strategy and the current volatility, not a fixed number. Set the stop where the trade idea is wrong, then let this calculator size the lot so that distance still costs only your intended risk.
Why is my NAS100 margin so high?expand_more
Index CFDs often carry lower leverage than forex, so the margin per lot can be a larger share of the notional value. Lower your lot size or check whether your broker offers different leverage for indices.
