Index CFDs are sized per point, not per pip. On a 1 lot = $1 per point contract, a 100-point move in US30 is $100 per lot; brokers that use $5 or $10 per point multiply that. Set your broker's contract in the calculator above — the lot size changes, your dollar risk doesn't.
Position Size Calculator Formula
Lots = Risk Amount ÷ (SL Pips × Pip Value per Lot)
Example (US30): $10,000 account · 1% risk · 250-point stop: $100 ÷ (250 × $1.00) = 0.40 lots
