📊 Contract Value Guide
Understanding Contract Values
Each futures contract has a different dollar value per tick. This guide helps you understand how much each tick is worth based on the contract you trade and the number of contracts you enter. Learning contract values is essential for managing risk and choosing the right position size.
💡 Trading Tip
New traders should consider starting with Micro contracts (MNQ or MES). They move the same as their larger counterparts but have a much smaller dollar value per tick, making them better suited for learning and managing risk.
