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.
