    Dera Sir

    I have never understood ticks properly.

    Anyway, in this question, the reason for the 3/12 is the interest rate future being the 3 month thingy? In other words would not apply to forex future?

    Now, the tick value is 12.50….but I get 1250 which i know is wrong. I am taking the 2 decimal places after the future, eg. 95.29….the .29 being .10 and saying 500000 x 3/12x.100?
    Please help clear this up

    Please don’t have me type out what is explained in full in my lectures.

    3/12 only applies to interest rate futures (and options).

    1 tick is 0.01%

    500,000 x 0.01/100 x 3/12 = 12.50
