About NQ

NQ tracks the Nasdaq-100 and is the favourite contract of many futures day traders thanks to its range. Each point is worth $20 per contract; a tick of 0.25 is $5.

The New York open and big-tech earnings weeks bring the largest moves.

How to size a NQ position

Position size = risk in dollars ÷ (stop distance × value per unit). Example on a $100,000 account risking 1% ($1,000) with a 12 points stop: 4 contracts, which risks about $960.

The order panel has a built-in risk calculator: enter your % risk and your stop loss and it sizes the position for you.
