Convert price difference into currency

[sambathraj]

hi,
How to convert difference between two price points (e.g. Close and High) into currency (Profit or loss). I am trying to adjust the stop loss order using a price target.
Thanks,
Sam

Hello Sam,

Can you please check what 'Tick size' and 'Point value' is used for the instrument first. Go to Control Center-->Tools-->Instruments. Double click the futures instrument to view these settings.

For example, the ES futures uses a Tick size of 0.25 and Point value of 50. This means 1 tick equals $12.50.

If you have the following prices: 3659.00 and 3661.50, there is a 10 tick difference, so the price difference is $125.

Thanks. I want to do this programmatically. I could not find a field for the point value. Can you help with this?
Thanks,
Sam
