Broker Contract Specifications

Check the exact contract before using a calculator. This reference records the index fields we could verify, their sources, and what remains unknown across five brokers.

Scope and limits. The current numerical reference covers US30 and NAS100 cash CFDs only. Earlier gold, crypto and forex rows were withdrawn because their cited sources did not substantiate the fields. Not verified means we could not confirm a field in this review; it does not mean the broker has no disclosure. A source-check date applies only to the retained fields, not to every product or account. Spreads are dated snapshots, never live quotes. No rankings or affiliate links.

Match your platform contract

  1. Open the symbol specification in your own account and check its full name, account type and currency. Base and amplified symbols are different contracts.
  2. Find the contract multiplier or the monetary tick value and tick size. A full point is a 1.0 price move: value per point = tick value / tick size.
  3. Multiply by your lot size. For example, a hypothetical $0.10 tick value and 0.01 tick size mean $10 per full point per lot; 0.2 lot means $2 per point.
  4. Use the US30 or NAS100 calculator. Enter your value manually, or select a named contract that matches. An empty preset list is not evidence that a broker does not offer the instrument.

Only sourced monetary point values captured within 90 days are offered as presets at build time. Confirm the linked date and your platform before trading.

What was checked

Exness

Sources checked: 2026-10-08

Scope: US30 and USTEC base contracts; not US30_x10, USTEC_x100 or cent-account variants.

The help article updated 3 October 2026 gives base contract size 1 and minimum volume 0.05 lot for both instruments. The monetary point value below is derived from that USD contract size. Amplified contracts use different multipliers.

Index specifications

XM

Sources checked: 2026-10-08

Scope: The public page served for XM Global Limited; account and regional offerings differ.

The accessible page identifies XM Global Limited (Belize FSC licence 8557558), but did not expose instrument-level contract sizes or minimum lots in this check. Earlier numeric presets and the old licence number were withdrawn. Confirm your symbol and contract in the trading platform.

Equity indices and entity footer

Pepperstone

Sources checked: 2026-10-08

Scope: Public /en/ index page; displayed Razor and Standard spread table.

US30 and NAS100 symbols and the dated spread snapshot are confirmed. This page did not establish their contract multipliers or minimum lots. The older Cost and Charges PDF is no longer used to populate current presets.

Indices: displayed spreads and symbols

IC Markets Global / IC

Sources checked: 2026-10-08

Scope: Raw Trading Ltd, Seychelles FSA SD018; FSA product sheet, MT5 minimum volume.

The current indices page links the August 2026 FSA product sheet. It gives US30 and USTEC minimum MT5 volume 0.1. A 0.01 index-point tick is a price increment, not a dollar value; the sheet does not establish a monetary multiplier. Its spreads differ from the web table, so no single spread is asserted here.

Vantage

Sources checked: 2026-10-08

Scope: Public indices page; region redirects and account-specific specifications apply.

DJ30 and NAS100 cash symbols are listed. A general claim that indices start at 0.1 lot does not verify every instrument. Contract multipliers, individual minimum lots and the previous numeric spreads were not confirmed, so they are omitted. No brand-wide regulatory licence or loss percentage is inferred from a regional page.

What this reference does not establish

These sources do not establish your eligibility, protections or maximum leverage. Those depend on your legal entity, account and jurisdiction. Brand-wide licence lists and retail-loss percentages were removed because they mixed entities and dates. Check the legal documents and current risk warning for the entity offering your account.

The target review interval is 90 days. Older source checks receive a visible warning; that is not a claim that the data has been refreshed. Report a correction with the exact symbol, entity and official source.
