NATGAS Lot Size Calculator (Natural Gas)
Calculate NATGAS pip value, points, lot size, margin and profit for any account currency.
NATGAS is a CFD on US natural gas, based on the Henry Hub futures price in dollars per million British thermal units (MMBtu). It is one of the most volatile commodities, driven by weather forecasts that change heating and cooling demand, storage levels, US production, LNG export flows and pipeline or terminal outages. The weekly EIA storage report on Thursdays is a major scheduled event, and winter forecasts can cause especially sharp swings. Trading is concentrated in New York hours. Many brokers use a 10,000 MMBtu contract, matching the NYMEX future, so a move of $0.001 is worth $10 per lot and a ten-cent move is worth $1,000. Contract sizes vary, so check your broker's specification.

Calculation notes
- With 10,000 MMBtu: $0.001 = $10 per lot, $0.01 = $100 per lot, $0.10 = $1,000 per lot.
- Futures roll monthly, and gaps between contract months can be large; check the CFD's roll adjustments.
- High volatility means stops are often wide; reduce lot size rather than tightening the stop beyond normal noise.
