Do you look for Ticks or points ?

Hi guys,

Do you look at points or ticks when looking to place stop orders etc when you trade ES or NQ etc.

Example: 1 ES point = $50 ; 1 ES Tick = $12.5

I could care less about ticks and points, the only thing I care about are the basis points risked/lost/gained on the bankroll.

Lol, I can't keep myself from laughing upon reading post #3, ha-ha-ha.
And this mask was putting dirt on Xela's and Handle 123's posts?
And this one also came with his servants even on my thread and spent whole weekend to through the dirt?
Well, we finally have the real "value" of his "expertise!"

I am not sure I understand this thread. The OP posted a valid question with an example. The example is correct. So why all the falderal that is following?

I suppose the peanut gallery is upset that a point = four ticks and it's semantics, granularity, whatever.
