    No he can’t – you can always do it either way 🙂

    (Be aware what ticks are just in case he asks you to explain what they are in a written part of a question, but I will be surprised if he ever does.)

    Which bit do you want me to elaborate?

    You do not need to use ticks in calculation questions. I doubt he will ask you ever to explain, but I explain all about ticks in my free lectures (and I am not going to type out the lectures here 🙂 )

    One tick is the smallest movement, which is 0.0001 in the case of exchange rate instruments, and 0.01 in the case of interest rate instruments.
