How to Calculate US30 Pips? – Count Pips on DOW

by Fxigor

The Dow Jones Industrial Average, also known as the US30 or simply the Dow, is a stock exchange index made up of 30 large companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). The Dow index was created by Charles Henry Dow in 1896 one of the oldest stock market indices.

The Dow index measures the performance of these 30 blue-chip stocks chosen to represent the broader U.S. economy. It reflects how well these 30 large companies are financially and is considered an influential gauge of overall market sentiment. The components included in the index are calculated using a price-weighted average, meaning that stocks with higher prices will have more influence over the average than those with lower prices.

The current list of components for the Dow includes some of the largest companies in America, such as Apple, Microsoft, JPMorgan Chase, Walmart, and Home Depot. The index is reviewed quarterly by a committee at S&P Global, which may change its composition if necessary. As such, it can act as a barometer for gauging how well corporations within the U.S. economy perform compared to other markets. It can also give investors an idea of where they should allocate their resources accordingly.

In terms of historical performance, the average has experienced quite a few long stretches where it went up over time yet experienced various drops during inevitable recessions or crises, such as those seen in 1987 or 2008, respectively. Despite these occasional drops, overall trends have been positive since its creation, and it has grown significantly since then despite recent instability due to global events such as Brexit or elections taking place around the world.

Interestingly enough, reports suggest that only 17% of Americans own any stocks at all, which means that this index holds even greater importance for those who do invest because it can give them an idea about what direction they should take when deciding whether or not to buy or sell something on an individual basis instead of relying on macroeconomic analysis alone.

This article will teach us how to count pips on US30 (DOW).

  • If we trade one lot size of US30 in MT4, one pip is $0.1.
  • If we trade one mini lot size of US30 in MT4, one pip is $0.01.
  • If we trade one micro lot size of US30 in MT4, one pip is $0.001.

For example, if we trade one lot size and the price goes from 33500.00 till 33575.00, 250 pips gain or $25 in the MT4 platform.

I will create one live trading example where I will open three trades, one micro lot size, mini lot size, and one lot size. See the image below:

Now, I will show you how to calculate pips in the MT4 platform in this practical case:

Let us calculate pips and dollars for each trading size:

  • One micro lot: 33127.75-333143.15= -154 pips. So if the price declines 154 pips for lot size one micro lot loss is -$0.15
  • One mini lot: 33127.75-33151.15= -234 pips – So if the price fall 234 pips for lot size, one mini lot loss is -$2.34
  • One lot: 33127.75-33150.15 = 224 pips – So if the price decline 224 pips and your lot size one lot loss is -$22.4

Please, remember that some brokers can change lot size/pips in dollars. Based on that, always try to test the platform using a demo account.
