    Dear sir,

    I am a bit confused with determination of tick value.
    In this lecture you explained how to determine a tick value.

    https://opentuition.com/acca/afm/foreign-exchange-risk-management-1-part-8-acca-afm-lectures/

    Seems logical that it should be contract size X tick size.

    However, the confusing comes with the real questions. For example 45 Daikon (6/15)
    It is said contract size 1,000,000
    Tick movement 0.01%
    Tick value $25

    How come tick value is $25 if it should be calculated as 1,000,000 X 0.01%?

    You are forgetting that given they are always 3 months, we divide by 400.

    So with a contract of size $1,000,000, the value of a 1 tick movement is
    0.01 x $1,000,000 / 400 = $25.
