What does 6EZ2026 mean?

It is one specific 6E contract: the root 6E, the delivery-month code Z, and the year. Z is December, so 6EZ2026 is the December 2026 contract. The codes run F G H J K M N Q U V X Z for January through December — I and L are skipped because they read as 1 and 7 on a ticker.

What is 6E00, 6E1! or /6E?

All three name the same thing: the continuous front-month 6E contract, written differently by different platforms. Barchart uses 6E00, TradingView 6E1!, thinkorswim and tastytrade /6E, Yahoo Finance 6E=F, and 6E on social media is usually written $6E. None of them is a separate instrument — each stitches together whichever dated contract is currently the front month.

How is P&L calculated for 6E?

P&L = (exit price − entry price) ÷ 0.00005 tick size × $6.25 tick value × number of contracts. Use the tick value calculator to compute this directly.

Euro FX (6E) Tick Value & Contract Specs

Tick value $6.25 per tick — 125,000 Euros.

The Euro FX future (6E) is the exchange-traded way to trade EUR/USD: one contract is 125,000 euros, quoted in dollars per euro. The minimum tick is 0.00005 — half a spot-FX pip — worth $6.25 per contract, so a full pip (0.0001) is $12.50 and a 'big figure' move of one cent is $1,250 per contract. If you already think in pips, 6E's math maps across directly: one contract behaves like 1.25 standard lots of spot EUR/USD.

Traders choose futures over spot FX for central clearing, transparent exchange volume, and no rollover/swap financing embedded in the quote — differences that matter for larger accounts and US-based traders in particular. The contract trades nearly 23 hours a day and is most active during the London/New York overlap, around ECB and Fed decisions and US data releases. Use the pre-filled calculator below to turn a pip-based stop into an exact dollar figure per contract.

How 6E tick value works

Tick value is the dollar amount one futures contract gains or loses when the price moves one minimum increment (one tick).

tick value = tick size × multiplier. For 6E, that is 0.00005 × $125000 = $6.25 per tick, per contract.

One contract represents 125,000 Euros. P&L for a move from entry to exit is (exit − entry) ÷ tick size × tick value × contracts.

6E contract months and ticker symbols

A futures ticker is three parts: the root, a one-letter delivery month, and the year. 6EZ2026 is the December 2026 6E contract. The month letters skip I and L, which would read as 1 and 7 on a ticker.

Z	December	Yes — 6EZ

All twelve months are listed, but almost all volume sits in the March, June, September and December contracts.

Which 6E contract am I looking at?

Most charts default to the continuous front-month series rather than a dated contract — one stitched-together chart that rolls to the next month as the current one nears expiry. Every platform spells it differently, which is why the same contract appears under so many names.

Written as	Platform	Meaning
6E1!	TradingView	Continuous front-month contract. "2!" is the next one out, and a dated contract is written in full, e.g. 6EZ2026.
6E00	Barchart	Continuous front-month series. "6EZ26" style codes name a specific month and year instead.
6Ec1	Refinitiv / Reuters	Continuous front month; c2 is the second month out.
/6E	thinkorswim, tastytrade	The leading slash marks it as a future rather than a stock. A specific month is /6EZ26.
6E=F	Yahoo Finance	The "=F" suffix denotes the front-month futures series.
$6E	StockTwits, social	A cashtag, not an exchange symbol. It usually means the front month, but it is informal and ambiguous.

A dated code such as 6EZ26 always means one specific contract; the continuous forms never do. Check which you are quoting before comparing a price to someone else’s — around a roll they differ.
