Why care about tick value?
For the same step size, bigger positions move more dollars per tick; orders and stops are often rounded to ticks.
Leave the price empty to get the dollar amount only.
How to use
- Enter the minimum price step (e.g. 0.1).
- Enter quantity and current price (price optional).
- Click Calculate for per-tick amount and percentage.
Formula
- Per-tick amount = step × quantity
- Per-tick % = step ÷ price × 100%
Example
Step 0.1, qty 10 at 100 → 1 per tick, 0.1%.
Doubling the quantity doubles the per-tick amount.
