Where these figures come from
Compiled from the exchanges' published contract specifications (CME, CBOT, NYMEX, COMEX). Last reviewed .
Every contract is checked for internal consistency: the tick value must equal the contract size multiplied by the tick. All 41 agree, including the interest-rate contracts quoted in fractions of a thirty-second of a point.
These figures are NOT independently verified against the exchange. We do not fetch cmegroup.com - it refuses our requests and its terms do not permit it - so an exchange that changes a contract specification will not be reflected here until someone reviews it by hand. Check with the exchange or your broker before trading on them.
What one tick is worth
The minimum price increment is 1 index point. Because the contract covers $0.50 × Dow Jones Industrial Average, each tick is worth $0.50 per contract. That is the appeal of the smaller size: identical price exposure per tick as YM, at a fraction of the notional.
This contract is cash settled, so there is no delivery obligation and no first notice day. Positions settle in cash against the reference price.
