INFY Pip Value Calculator – Infosys Limited

The formula is straightforward: Pip Value = Pip Size × Contract Size × Number of Contracts. For INFY, that's 0.01 × 1 × number of contracts. With a contract size of 1, each single contract moves exactly $0.01 per pip. Unlike forex instruments where pip value fluctuates with the quote currency, INFY's USD-denominated structure keeps this fixed. Scaling to 100 contracts? Your pip value becomes $1.00 flat — no recalculation needed as price moves. Pulsar Terminal's built-in pip value calculator auto-fills INFY's contract size and pip value, so position sizing takes seconds rather than manual spreadsheet work.

Here's a concrete setup. You buy 500 contracts of INFY at $18.40 with a stop-loss 30 pips away at $18.10. Pip value per contract = 0.01 × 1 = $0.01. Total pip value for 500 contracts = $5.00 per pip. Your maximum risk on this trade: 30 pips × $5.00 = $150. The typical spread of 0.3 pips costs you 0.3 × $5.00 = $1.50 at entry on that 500-contract position — negligible compared to many equity CFDs that carry spreads above 1.0 pips. Entry at $18.40 in early 2024, when INFY was recovering from its Q3 earnings dip, would have given this setup strong structural support at the $18.10 level.

Most retail traders pick a position size first, then check if the risk is acceptable. That's backwards. Start with your maximum dollar risk — say $200 on a $10,000 account (2%) — then work backward. With a 25-pip stop on INFY: $200 ÷ 25 pips = $8.00 max pip value. At $0.01 per contract, that means 800 contracts maximum. Compared to trading a stock directly, CFD pip-value math gives you fractional position control that direct equity purchases can't match. Miss this calculation and a 40-pip adverse move on 1,000 contracts costs $400 — double your intended risk. The math takes 20 seconds. Skipping it can cost 20% of your stop budget before you even react.
