    The stock index futures price is £3850. The face value of stock index contract is £10 per index point (the tick size), which implies a current contract value of £38500.
    My query is which item got ‘£’ in front, 3850 or 10? Because if both, it becomes £^2.
    Is it because £3850 = 3850 ticks, how to explain, pls?
    Thank you

    It is the 10 that has the £ in front 🙂

    Ticks are used to measure the change in the index, so if the index changes from 100 to 120, then the £ change is 20 x £10 = £200 for each contract.

    (Contracts themselves are not measured in ticks)
