If you want to compare different bonds, it probably makes more sense to talk about the tick value ($ gain/loss for a minimum +/- move) for a single contract ?
Another parameter is the margin per single contract
I guess I was trying to compare the same Move in each of these markets , and see if I had the Profit on them all correct ...... Apples to Apples if you will , But then again , maybe in Bonds/T-Notes/Bunds you can't compare Apples to Apples , as some of them are traded in 1/32 , 1/16, etc. and therefore have different Tick values from ....... $31.25 , $15.625 , $7.8125
As well as....... 32nd of a Point , One half of 1/32 of a point , one quarter of 1/32 of a point
Just need some help in figuring out how to accurately calculate the Profit on these , using 1.32 as the " Move " per Market ( ZB, ZN, ZT, ZF, UB, BOBL, etc. )
ZB : 1 Tick : One thirty-second (1/32) of one point ($31.25)
ZN : 1 Tick : One-half of one thirty-second (1/32) of one point ($15.625, rounded to the nearest cent per contract)
ZT : 1 Tick : One-quarter of one thirty-second (1/32) of one point ($15.625, rounded to the nearest cent per contract)
ZF : 1 Tick : One-quarter of one thirty-second (1/32) of one point ($7.8125, rounded to the nearest cent per contract)
UB : 1 Tick : One 32nd of one point ($31.25 per contract)
