NAS100 is the US tech index, not a forex pair. This page assumes 1 unit per lot, so 1 point on 1.00 lot is $1.00. BlackBull's contract specifications list NAS100 at 1 per lot, with a 0.1 minimum and a 0.1 point. Other platforms use a larger contract. If the specification is 10, divide the lot from this page by 10. The printed lot would otherwise risk 10 times too much cash. The minimum lot in this model is 0.10 and the step is 0.10, which is coarser than many platforms.
NAS100 contract: 1 units per 1.00 lot. This size is an assumption and differs by platform. 1 point = 1. A 0.01 lot is $0.01 per point, a 0.10 lot is $0.10, and 1.00 lot is $1.00. A 0.01 lot is under the 0.10 minimum, so the 0.01 value is math only. The quote currency is USD, so the 2026-10-15 bundled rates are not applied. Minimum lot 0.10, step 0.10. The lot rounds down, so the loss at the stop stays at or under the risk when spread and commission are left at zero.

Questions
What is the NAS100 lot size on MT5?
MT5 does not use one NAS100 contract. This page assumes 1 per lot, which is $1.00 per point. Read the specification and change the contract size if it is not 1.
What is the minimum NAS100 lot?
Minimum 0.10, step 0.10. A $10,000.00 account risking 2% with a 20 point stop sizes 10.00 lots under that assumption.
Why do NAS100 calculators disagree?
They disagree when the contract is 1, 10, or a fixed dollar value per point. The lot moves by the same ratio as the contract size.
Is NAS100 entered in pips or points?
Points. 1 point is a 1.0 move in the index price. The tick inside that point is 0.1.
