re:"A point is a single-whole-decimal move. Anything under a single-whole-decimal move, <1.x, is a tick." That was the point of my original post; you can't use the word "point" when discussing the ES if the increment you are discussing is LESS than 4 ticks. Golden Eagle was discussing profit...

Xela, you're describing the high and low of an ESU ten minute bar (in this case @ 10:40 ET August 7th). The high of the bar is 2474.75 and the low is 2473.00. Using your terminology, how many "points" is the range of that ten minute bar? When discussing this with an FCM who is a high...

There are no "buts" in a vendor - customer relationship. The vendor was completely at fault in this instance; the customer was completely right (in following rules, setting up a winning trade and placing said trades in the TT system). There are business "ethics" in a free, capitalist society...
