I don't think I have the correct settings for BTC (Bitcoin futures).
What is the tick value ?
What is the bigpoint value ?
 
That is so cryptic.....LOL !
re: "5 bitcoin, as defined by the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate (BRR)"
WTF is the BRR ?
Also, WTF is BTIC ?

Personally - I really do NOT care about Bitcoin. I will keep trading the same instruments I have traded for years. At my age - I have a hard time remembering - why the hell I am in the bathroom - so I see no reason to use what few good brain cells I have left - just to trade Bitcoin.

That chart is wrong....margin is way off, and the min price move for the Emini is $5, not $25.

thats for the micro future...it moves at 1/10th the price of the underlying, same for micro ETH...like reverse leverage lol.

Mini is $5 x 5 coins (contract size).

Micro is 1/10th of 1 coin

But yes margin levels appear to be wrong. Maybe because they are based on April's values nor are they intraday daytrading rates. Right now TradeStation shows:-

$27,588 & $550 initial intraday and overnight, mini & micro respectively
