Disclaimer

Results are estimates for planning only. Your broker's prices, leverage, contract sizes and swap rates decide the real numbers, so check them in your trading platform before you place a trade. Trading forex and CFDs on margin carries a high risk of losing money.

NAS100, US100 and USTEC are the same index

All three names are the Nasdaq 100 index as a CFD. Brokers simply label it differently. The S&P 500 (US500 or SPX500) and the Dow Jones (US30) are in the instrument list too.

Contract size decides the point value

Index CFDs have no single standard. The contract size in your platform tells you what one point is worth on one lot.

Contract sizePer point, 1 lotPer point, 0.10 lot
1$1$0.10
10$10$1
20$20$2

Lot size = Money at risk ÷ (Stop in points × Contract size)

NAS100 lot size example

A $10,000 account risking 1% ($100) with a 50-point stop: with contract size 1 that is 100 ÷ (50 × 1) = 2.00 lots. With contract size 20 it is 100 ÷ (50 × 20) = 0.10 lots. Same risk, very different lot sizes, which is why the contract size matters.

Margin on NAS100

At 30,600 with contract size 1, one lot is worth $30,600, so it needs $1,530 of margin at 1:20 and $3,060 at 1:10. Funded accounts often use low leverage on indices; the prop firm lot size calculator keeps you inside the margin limit.

Frequently asked questions

Is US100 the same as NAS100?

Yes. NAS100, US100 and USTEC are all names for the Nasdaq 100 index CFD. Only the label changes between brokers.

How much is 1 point on NAS100?

It depends on your broker's contract size. With contract size 1, one point is $1 per lot; with 20, it is $20 per lot.

Why doesn't the NAS100 price update on its own?

There is no free live index feed the site can use, so you type the current price from your chart. It only affects the margin figure, not the lot size.
