"Thanks for the great product and support. During this week of high volume trading, my QuoteTracker + IQ Feed setup never missed a beat. Also, thanks for your swiftness in responding to data issues. I was on ******* for a few years before I made the switch over early this year, and wish I had done it a long time ago." - Comment from Ken

Hello,

Is it possible to determine the tick size (smallest price change) for a given futures contract using your feed?

E.g. For the ES mini contract, the tick size is .25, meaning there are 4 ticks to the point. (Whole number price change.) Also for illustration 1 point = $50, so each tick is worth $12.50 per contract.

Thanks very much,
-Bob

Bob,

Sorry we missed this post earlier. We don't currently have Tick size or contract specs as part of the feed. However, we are working to get this added to the fundamental data fields. Our current development plans have this project being completed sometime in early 2013.
