lot size issue for indices
22 Feb 2025, 18:07
I’m facing an issue with lot size calculation for indices in cTrader. When I set up my trade on TradingView and calculate the lot size, the value doesn't match when I enter it in cTrader.
For example, using a FundingPips account on cTrader with the NDXUSD (NAS 100) index:
- Margin: $2,000
- Risk: 1%
- Entry: 21,604.15
- Stop-loss Level: 21,549.24
- Profit Level: 21,840.41
On TradingView and other online lot size calculators, the lot size shows as 0.36 lots. However, when I enter 0.36 lots in cTrader, the P&L figures are different.
Could you please explain how to calculate the correct lot size for indices in cTrader?
