How 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.

FTNT 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.
