Hi,

I'm starting now to trade futures and I have a question on ZW (Wheat): using Ninja I noticed that the ticksize is 0.25, but using QST platform I see that the increment is different, QST is using ^ and seems that the increment is from 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7! What ^ mean?

Thank you!

According to contract specifications for the CME traded wheat futures the tick size is 0.25 cents per bushel, which amounts to $ 12.50 per contract (contract multiplier = 5,000 bushels).

I had a quick look at QST. It is not clear what ^4 means. QST seems to have delayed or inaccurate data, and the daily highs and lows are false. I do not understand why you want to use it at all.
