Worked example
You hold 2 lots on the preset of 1 contract per lot. One point of 1.0 is worth $1.00 a lot, so at your size it is worth $2.00.
A move of 25 points makes or costs $50.00. On 0.01 lot the same point is worth $0.01.
At an illustrative price of 7,000, a 1% move is 70 of price, worth $140.00 at your size. The page fills in the live SP500 price, so the 1% line starts from today's level.
The formula
Point value = point size × contract per lot × lots, in US dollars. A move is worth the point value times its size in points. A 1% move = price ÷ 100 ÷ point size × point value.
US500 is the CFD name for the S&P 500, 500 large US companies. The form starts at 1 contract per lot and a point of 1.0, so one lot moves $1 for each point. The S&P moves fewer points a day than the Dow or the Nasdaq, so stops are shorter in points.
