Boon,

i not undertand. . .why the calc on P/L need times 4. I know is something related with the tick size.

What is meaning of 1/4 cent/bu?
please assist. thanks

Boon said...

bu = bushel (the unit used for Soybeans)

A 1/4 cent move in price equals $12.50 per contract.

A 1 cent move in price equals 4 * $12.50 = $50.00 per contract.

Boon said...

And each contract is for 5,000 bu.

Boon said...

And the price is quoted in cent.

No wonder trade in future can earn so much .It is because of the leverage? Thanks for sharing.
