Trader tool
Position size calculator
Generic calculators assume everything trades like EUR/USD. Real accounts do not: funded futures accounts size in mini and micro contracts, and CFD instruments have minimum lot steps — gold from 0.01, indices often from 0.10. This calculator speaks both languages and always shows the risk you actually take after rounding, not the one you planned.
Your trade
Per-point values are official CME contract specs. The daily loss limit is yours to check — every program defines it differently.
One NQ risks $800 — over your $250 budget.
This is sized against the daily loss limit you entered, and that number belongs to your firm rather than to you. The limits, and whether a breach ends the day or the account, differ per firm and per account type. Compare the limits.
The rule behind the math
Size is an output, not an input: decide the risk budget and the stop first, and the position size is whatever those two allow — rounded down to what your instrument can actually trade. If the rounded size is zero, that is not a calculator problem; it is the market telling you this trade does not fit your account.
Educational tool, not financial advice. Futures per-point values are official exchange specs; CFD specs are typical defaults that vary by broker — always verify your broker's contract specification. Nothing you enter is stored or sent anywhere.
