Hi there,
Minmove returns 25 for ES is this correct? How do I find the tick size of an instrument in a study?
Oh and Minmove * 0.001 resolves to .3 ? Wierd
Thanks
Nick.

these are some of the keywords you should know.
BigPointValue
Returns a numerical value, indicating the currency value of a single whole unit price change for the data series that the study is applied to. Usage
BigPointValue Note
BigPointValue = PointValue × PriceScale
Examples
BigPointValue will return 1 for Google
BigPointValue will return 50 for E-mini S&P 500
PointValue
Returns a numerical value, indicating the currency value of a single fractional unit price change for the data series that the study is applied to. Usage
PointValue
Note
PointValue = BigPointValue/PriceScale
Examples
PointValue will return 0.01 for Google
PointValue will return 0.50 for E-mini S&P 500
PriceScale
Returns a numerical value, indicating the fractional unit equivalent of a single whole unit price change for the data series that the study is applied to. Usage
PriceScale
Note
PriceScale = BigPointValue/PointValue
Examples
PriceScale will return 100 for Google
PriceScale will return 32 for T-Bond Futures
MinMove
Returns a numerical value, indicating the minimum fractional unit price change for the data series that the study is applied to. Usage
MinMove
Examples
MinMove will return 1 for Google
MinMove will return 25 for E-mini S&P 500
MinMove*PointValue will return the currency value, corresponding to the minimum price move of a share or contract
Point
Returns a decimal numerical value, equivalent to a single fractional price unit for the data series that the study is applied to. Usage
Point
Note

Examples
1 Point will return 0.01 for Google
8 Point will return 0.08 for E-mini S&P 500
8 Point will return 0.25 for T-Bond Futures
p.s. I am not sure if Point is supported.

Thanks for the detailed reply TJ
I don't undertand why the minmove returns 25 for es? It should be .25 how is the program to know whether it has been multiplied by 10 100 or 1000?
Even with all those reserved words I don't see anything that returns the size of a tick.....et me go through them again.
Thanks again
Nick
