Futures tick size

[guillembm]

Hello,

I have a doubt about tick size on futures. I have my charts set to half tick.

When I select a Forex instrument (i.e. EURUSD) on instrument manager tick size is 0.00005. This is the half of 0.0001

If I select a futures contract as ZB (30 Year U.S. Treasury Bonds Futures) the tick size that appears on instrument manager is 0.03125

If I set the charts to be displayed to the entire pip, EURUSD changes to 0.0001 but ZB remains the same (0.03125).

Why ZB doesn't change?

guillembm, for futures the 'quote currencies in' setting would not have any effect. The ZB will use the 0.03125 ticksize setting as outlined in it's default contract spec's from the CME.

You cannot compare the quoting of currencies vs futures in this regard.
