Understanding Contract Specifications

Tick Size - Minimum price movement (e.g., 0.25 for ES)

Tick Value - Dollar value of one tick movement

Point Value - Dollar value of one full point movement

How to Calculate Your P&L

Tick P&L Formula - (Exit - Entry) / Tick Size × Tick Value × Contracts

Example (ES) - Buy 5850.00, Sell 5852.50 = 10 ticks × $12.50 = $125/contract

Day Margin - Capital required to hold a position during regular hours

Micro Contracts - 1/10th the size of standard contracts (lower margin/risk)
