How the NQ lot size is calculated

Position size = risk in dollars ÷ (stop distance × value per unit). On NQ, one tick is worth $5.00 per contract, so a 12 points stop costs $240.00 per contract. $500 ÷ $240.00 = 2 contracts (rounded down to the 1 step).

Spread and commission add a little to the real cost of each trade, so many traders round down further.

The $50K rules in NQ points

Rules are set in dollars, but you watch the NQ chart. This is how far price can move against a 2-contract position before each limit is reached:

  • Futures: target $3,000 (75 points), daily loss $1,100 (27.5 points), max loss $2,000 trailing (50 points), all with 2 contracts.
  • At 1% risk per trade it takes 2 losing trades in a single day to hit the Futures daily limit.

Maximum NQ position size on $50K

Futures: up to 5 contracts

When NQ moves most

The New York open and big-tech earnings weeks bring the largest moves. Size down around those moments: wider swings mean a wider stop, and a wider stop with the same risk means fewer contracts.
