Mercedes-Benz (DAI) Pip Value Calculator | DAI CFD

The formula is simple: Pip Value = Pip Size × Contract Size × Number of Contracts.

For DAI, pip size is 0.01 and contract size is 1. So for a single contract: 0.01 × 1 × 1 = €0.01 per pip. Trade 100 contracts and each pip moves €1.00. The result is always denominated in the quote currency — euros for DAI, since it trades on Xetra.

Pulsar Terminal includes a built-in pip value calculator that auto-fills DAI's contract size and pip value, so you're never manually cross-checking instrument specs mid-session.

Here's a concrete scenario. DAI is trading at €65.40. You buy 200 contracts. The price moves 50 pips in your favor — from €65.40 to €65.90.

Pip value per contract = 0.01 × 1 = €0.01. Total pip value = €0.01 × 200 contracts = €2.00 per pip. Profit on the 50-pip move = 50 × €2.00 = €100.00.

Now flip it. A 50-pip loss on the same position costs exactly €100.00. The typical DAI spread of 0.4 pips costs €0.80 per 200-contract round trip — small, but it counts against every trade from the open.

Since 2020, DAI's daily range has averaged between 80 and 150 pips on normal sessions. That's €160–€300 of movement per 100 contracts. Size accordingly.

Most position-sizing mistakes happen before entry. A trader sets a 30-pip stop, thinks it's conservative, then realizes 500 contracts means €150 at risk — more than their 1% rule allows.

Work backwards. Decide your maximum loss first. Say it's €50. With a 25-pip stop on DAI, your allowable position is: €50 ÷ (25 × €0.01) = 200 contracts. That's the number you enter, not whatever feels right.

The spread matters here too. At 0.4 pips, you're already €0.004 behind per contract at open. On 500 contracts, that's €2.00 of immediate drag. Not catastrophic — but it shifts your break-even point, and tight scalps absorb it fast.
