Ticks and points explained
In futures, prices move in ticks, the smallest step a market can move. Each tick is worth a set amount of money. A point is just a bigger move made of several ticks.
| Contract | Symbol | Tick Size / Value | Point = Ticks / Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| E- mini S&P 500 | ES | 0.25 = $12.50 per tick | 1 point = $50 |
| E- mini Nasdaq 100 | NQ | 0.25 = $5 per tick | 1 point = $20 |
| Mini Dow Jones | YM | 1.0 = $5 per tick | 1 point = $5 |
| Gold Futures | GC | 0.10 = $10 per tick | 1 point = $100 |
| Crude Oil Futures | CL | 0.01 = $10 per tick | 1 point = $1,000 |
