How a NAS100 lot works
NAS100 is quoted in index points, and what a point is worth depends on the product. Most CFD brokers pay $1 per point per 1 lot; some use $10 or $0.10. The calculator starts at $1 and lets you change it — check your broker's contract spec once.
On futures the numbers are fixed: the E-mini Nasdaq (NQ) is $20 per point per contract and the Micro (MNQ) is $2 per point. Enter 20 or 2 as the point value and the answer is in contracts.
Nasdaq stops are measured in tens of points, because the index moves hundreds in a session. A 40-point stop at 1% risk on $10,000 is 2.5 lots at $1 a point — but only 0.125 NQ contracts, which is why small accounts trade MNQ or CFDs.
