Index Futures Position Size Calculator V2A simple, free position size calculator for CME index futures traders.
Click Entry, click Stop Loss, pick your asset, get your contract size instantly. Built for fast NY session execution — no spreadsheets, no manual maths, no noise.
This is the updated version. The first release was a bare-bones calculator showing contract size only with a fixed SL buffer. This version is a full rebuild — every feature below came from real trading feedback, not theory.

✦ SUPPORTED INSTRUMENTS
MNQ · MES · NQ · ES — all CME tick values hardcoded. No manual lookup, no mistakes.
═══════════════════════════════════
✦ WHAT IS NEW IN THIS VERSION
→ SL buffer is now a toggle — switch the auto ±1 handle offset on or off anytime from settings. When on, the SL label shows +1H so you always know what was calculated
→ Panel now shows four live values — asset, contract size, real USD risk after rounding, and full stop distance in points
→ Direction arrow — ▲ Buy or ▼ Sell auto-detected from your Entry and SL position
→ Panel size control — choose Small, Medium, Large or XL to fit any screen or preference
→ Lines now start exactly at your click point and extend right — no more lines appearing from far left
→ Price labels on both lines — see your exact Entry and adjusted SL price at a glance
→ Ghost line bug fixed — no more phantom line appearing at the bottom when switching timeframes
→ Dark TradingView-native panel design — colour-coded values, clean two-column layout, easy to read at a glance during live sessions
═══════════════════════════════════
✦ FEATURES
→ One-click Entry and Stop Loss directly on the chart
→ Optional auto ±1 handle SL buffer — structural protection against wick hunts built in
→ Asset dropdown — MNQ, MES, NQ, ES with correct tick value loading automatically
→ Smart rounding — fractional contracts of 0.75 or higher round up, otherwise round down
→ Green Entry line and Red SL line from your exact click, both extending right
→ Live panel updates instantly when you move Entry or SL

✦ PROP FIRM CHALLENGE SIZING
Two clean methods to work within your max drawdown limit.
Method 1 — Loss budget split Divide your max loss by how many consecutive losses you can afford. Enter the result as Account Size with Risk at 100%. Example: $2,000 max loss ÷ 5 losses → Account Size $400 · Risk 100%
Method 2 — Direct percentage Enter your full max loss as Account Size and set your per-trade percentage. Example: $2,000 max loss, 20% per trade → Account Size $2,000 · Risk 20%
Both give the same result — use whichever feels natural.
