    when calculating the interest rate option, i need to cal. profit and loss of ticks when exercise the price.

    however, why i calculate the foreign currency option, i do not need to cal. the ticks.

    really confusing about the option.

    thank you very much. appreciate.

    I often calculate profit or loss directly from PL per contract and amount of contract, not via ticks. By either way, it return the same result.

    I though it is acceptable.

    Mr. Moffat, what is your advice here?

    Thank sir in advance!

    I never bother using ticks – there is no need to. It is whatever you find easier.

    (miyukit: you will find the free lectures on both currency and interest rate options helpful)
