RTX Pip Value Calculator – Raytheon Stock CFD

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

For RTX, that breaks down as: 0.01 (pip size) × 1 (contract size) × your lot count. One lot gives you exactly $0.01 per pip movement — but since RTX is quoted in full cents, each 0.01 price move equals $1.00 in real P&L terms per contract.

So if you're trading 10 contracts and RTX moves $0.50 (50 pips), your gain or loss is $50. No ambiguity. Pulsar Terminal's built-in pip value calculator auto-fills RTX's contract size and pip value, so you skip the manual lookup entirely.

RTX closed near $115 range through much of 2023-2024, making it a useful baseline. Here's a concrete setup:

• Entry: $115.40
• Stop-loss: $115.10 (30 pips away)
• Pip value: $1 per contract
• Risk per contract: 30 pips × $1 = $30

If your account is $10,000 and you risk 1% ($100), you can trade 3 contracts. Your stop gets hit at $115.10 — you lose exactly $90. Your target at $116.10 (70 pips) returns $210 on those 3 contracts. That's a 2.33R trade. The typical spread on RTX is 0.4 pips, adding just $0.40 per contract in entry cost — negligible against a 30-pip stop.

Most traders set stop-losses in dollar terms and work backward. That's backwards. Start with pip value, then size the position.

With RTX at $1 per pip per contract, the math stays clean. A 50-pip stop on 5 contracts = $250 max risk. Scale to 20 contracts and that same stop costs $1,000. The pip value doesn't change — your position size does all the work.

This matters especially for prop firm traders. RTX's $1 pip value makes daily drawdown limits easy to model. If your firm allows a $500 daily loss, you know immediately that 5 contracts with a 100-pip stop is your absolute ceiling. No guesswork, no post-trade surprises. Defense stocks like RTX can gap on earnings or geopolitical events — knowing your per-pip exposure before news hits is non-negotiable.
