Hello,

Is it possible to determine the tick size (smallest price change) for a given futures contract using your feed?

E.g. For the ES mini contract, the tick size is .25, meaning there are 4 ticks to the point. (Whole number price change.) Also for illustration 1 point = $50, so each tick is worth $12.50 per contract.

Thanks very much,
-Bob

Bob,

Sorry we missed this post earlier. We don't currently have Tick size or contract specs as part of the feed. However, we are working to get this added to the fundamental data fields. Our current development plans have this project being completed sometime in early 2013.
