Reference snapshot

Nasdaq-100 reference data behind this calculator

Reference price: 30,959.50 USD; Last 1H close, 23 Sept 2026, 11:00 UTC · 24h delayed
14-period 1H ATR: 48.00 USD; 0.155% of price
Nearest modeled stops above: 31,250.22 USD (+0.94%, 6.1× ATR)
Nearest modeled stops below: 30,591.77 USD (−1.19%, 7.7× ATR)

Largest jump between one hourly close and the next open across a break in the series (last 40 bars, 2 breaks): 6.5 USD, 0.1× ATR. A stop inside a jump like that fills at the open, not at its own price.

The modeled levels are an estimate from OHLCV of where other traders' stops may be concentrated — not broker orders. In Ampeld's own no-look-ahead test, price reached them no more often than a random level at the same distance, so they are not targets or predictions. Use them to check whether your own stop sits with the crowd. How we tested this

The calculation

How Nasdaq-100 position sizing works

Position size = (balance × risk %) ÷ stop distance per index unit.

Estimated margin = notional ÷ leverage. Leverage changes the margin reserved, not the loss between entry and stop.

Risk/reward = target distance ÷ stop distance. It says nothing about how likely either price is.

Worked example — the calculator's opening plan. A USD 10,000 account risking 1% (USD 100) with the stop 48.00 from a 30,959.50 entry (1× ATR) gives 2.0833 index units: about USD 64,499 notional, 6.4× the account, and USD 3,225 margin at 1:20. That is arithmetic, not a suggested stop.

The planned loss is a price-distance estimate, not a maximum: spread, slippage, commissions, financing, gaps and close-out rules can make it larger. Everything you enter stays in your browser and is not sent to Ampeld or to analytics.

Sizing Nasdaq-100

What to check before you trust the number

Nasdaq-100 is quoted in USD points. The reference price and levels here come from front-month CME futures, which sit slightly away from the cash index and from CFD quotes. You trade it through futures, CFDs or ETFs, and each assigns its own cash value to a one-point move. The default is one index unit per contract; replace it with your product's multiplier.
NAS100, US100 and USTEC are broker CFD names for the Nasdaq-100. It is not IXIC, the Nasdaq Composite, which trades at a different level. Size from the price your own platform shows.
The hourly futures series runs nearly 24 hours on weekdays, with a short daily pause and a weekend break. Price can open away from Friday's close.

Questions

Nasdaq-100 sizing questions

What is one point of Nasdaq-100 worth?

The index itself has no fixed value per point — the product you trade sets it. Futures, CFDs and spread bets on Nasdaq-100 each use their own multiplier, so enter yours under Broker settings; the default is one index unit.

Is NAS100 the same as US100 or USTEC?

Yes. They are broker CFD names for the Nasdaq-100. It is not IXIC, the Nasdaq Composite, which is a different index at a different level.
