I got a bit confused – the course notes (page 96) state that the tick size is 0.0001 however the technical article (https://www.accaglobal.com/uk/en/student/acca-qual-student-journey/qual-resource/acca-qualification/p4/technical-articles/exchange-derivatives.html) states that the tick is 0.00001.
Is my understanding right – it just depends on how exactly is the exchange rate given; if 4 decimal spaces then tick is 0.0001, if 5 decimal spaces then tick is 0.00001; it just depends and it is not one absolute value?
Thank you very much for wonderful lectures!
For currency futures, one tick is 0.0001 (the smallest movement in the exchange rate). The article is a misprint.
Thank you for the explanation.
You are welcome 🙂
However, in case of JPY futures, the tick size is 0,000001 (not 0,0001).
Am I correct?
Ooops – yes you are correct. Yen are quoted differently than $’s and Euros.
