Trading ES in order flow with DeepCharts, DeepDom and DeepGamma: the complete course
Module 05 · 5 · The method: four layers, three A's, one if/then planLesson 30 of 886 min🔒 Students only
Position size
On ES, one point is worth $50 and one tick $12.50. The number of contracts is always computed from two figures decided before the entry: the dollar risk you accept to lose on this trade, and the distance of the stop in points, placed behind the structure. Never the other way round. This lesson gives the formula, the table that goes with it, and the reason why MES is often the right answer.
The formula
Contracts = dollar risk ÷ (stop in points × 50) for ES, or × 5 for MES.
