AEX 25 Index Pip Value Calculator (NED25)

The formula is straightforward: Pip Value = Pip Size × Contract Size × Number of Lots.

For NED25, that means: 0.01 × 1 × Lots = pip value per lot.

With 1 standard lot, each 0.01 price move equals €0.01. But the index is quoted to two decimal places, so a full 1-point move (100 pips) equals €1. In practice, most traders track whole-point moves on the AEX, making the effective per-point value €1 per lot — clean and easy to work with.

Pulsar Terminal's built-in pip value calculator auto-fills NED25's contract size and pip value, so you skip the manual lookup entirely. Scale to 10 lots and your per-point exposure becomes €10. Simple multiplication, but getting it wrong costs real money.

The AEX 25 traded near 900.00 in early 2024. Say you enter long at 900.00 with a 5-lot position and your stop-loss sits at 895.00 — a 5-point move against you.

Risk calculation: 5 points × €1 per point × 5 lots = €25 total risk.

The typical spread on NED25 is 0.3 points. That costs you €0.30 per lot on entry, or €1.50 across your 5-lot trade. Factor that into your target. If you're aiming for a 10-point profit target at 910.00, your gross reward is €50 minus €1.50 spread cost — a net €48.50 reward against €25 risk. That's a 1.94:1 ratio. Tight spread, clean math.

Most traders pick a lot size and then check their risk. That's backwards. Start with how much you're willing to lose on the trade, then work back to lot size.

Risk €50 on a 10-point stop? That's 5 lots. Risk €100 on the same stop? 10 lots. The €1 per point per lot structure on NED25 makes this arithmetic fast.

The AEX 25 can move 15–25 points on a volatile European session open. A 10-lot position with a loose 20-point stop means €200 at risk — manageable if that's 1–2% of your account, dangerous if it's 10%. Prop firm traders running NED25 need this number locked in before touching the order ticket. Blowing a daily drawdown limit on an index trade because you eyeballed the lot size is an avoidable mistake.
