Popular forex futures
There are many forex futures. Most forex futures are listed in a
standard contract and a smaller micro contract. In some cases, such
as EUR-USD, there is also an intermediate size, an E-mini future. In
addition to the currencies listed below, there are forex futures for
CHF, JPY, NZD, etc. Forex futures are listed on the Chicago
Mercantile Exchange (CME). This is the largest futures exchange in
the world.
| Symbol | Tick | Tick value | |
| EUR-USD Future | 6E | 0,00005 | 6,25 $ |
| E-mini EUR-USD Future | E7 | 0,0001 | 6,25 $ |
| micro E-mini EUR-USD Future | M6E | 0,0001 | 1,25 $ |
| EUR-GBP Future | RP | 0,00005 | 6,25 $ |
| GBP-USD Future | 6B | 0,0001 | 6,25 $ |
| micro GBP-USD Future | M6B | 0,0001 | 0,625 $ |
| CAD-USD Future | 6C | 0,0001 | 10,00 $ |
| AUD-USD Future | 6A | 0,00005 | 5,00 $ |
| micro AUD-USD Future | 6N | 0,0001 | 1,00 $ |
Tip: A tick is the smallest possible price movement. The price of the EUR-USD forex futures will therefore move from 1.00005 to 1.00010 and then to 1.00015. The price can jump over certain levels, but it is not possible for a price movement to be less than 0.00005.
Tip: If the EUR-USD rises from 1.00005 to 1.00010, you earn 6.25 $. The value of 1 tick is set at 6.25 $.
In terms of the number of futures contracts traded, the top 3 in currency futures trading are: EUR-USD futures contract (6E), JPY-USD futures contract (6J), and GBP-USD futures contract (6B).
