1How to Calculate Pip Value for FTNT
Most traders guess at pip value. That guess costs real money.
For FTNT, the formula is direct:
Pip Value = Pip Size × Contract Size × Number of Contracts
With FTNT's parameters: pip size = 0.01, contract size = 1.
So for a single contract: 0.01 × 1 × 1 = $0.01 per pip... but wait — that's the raw unit value. Because FTNT is priced in USD and your account is likely denominated in USD, no currency conversion is needed. The broker-quoted pip value for FTNT is $1 per standard lot (1 contract), meaning each full pip move ($0.01 in price) equals exactly $1 in profit or loss.
Pulsar Terminal's built-in pip value calculator auto-fills FTNT's contract size and pip value, eliminating manual lookup errors before you place a trade.
The spread cost on entry is 0.4 pips × $1 = $0.40 per contract. Small, but it compounds across frequent trades.
2FTNT Pip Value Example Calculation Using Real Numbers
Fortinet closed above $70 in early 2024 after a significant earnings-driven repricing — a move worth hundreds of pips at $1 each.
Here's a concrete example:
- Entry price: $72.50
- Exit price: $74.80
- Price move: $2.30 = 230 pips
- Contracts held: 5
- Pip value per contract: $1
Profit = 230 pips × $1 × 5 contracts = $1,150
Now reverse it. A 230-pip move against you on 5 contracts produces a $1,150 loss. That symmetry is exactly why pre-trade pip value calculation matters.
For a tighter scenario: a 50-pip stop-loss on 3 contracts risks exactly $150. No estimation required — the fixed $1 pip value makes FTNT one of the cleaner instruments for position sizing.
