ES to YM to NQ to ER2 Point Equivilents

Recommended Posts

Hi i am new to e mini futures trading. I was wondering what the tick or point equivalents are between the different contracts using 1 ES point or 4 ES ticks as the baseline. For example I heard that 10 YM points = 1 ES point. What are the other relationships like 1 ES point = how man NQ points or ER2 points. Thanks for your help

Hi,

 

The relationship you're describing is fairly approximate. 1 ES point equals 10 YM points in the sense that those movements in each contract are both worth $50.

 

But this doesn't mean that when the ES moves 1 point the YM will make an identical movement of 10 points - they're based on diferent underlying indices, remember.

 

I've never traded the @NQ, and I can't remember what a tick is worth, but basically if you find out how many NQ ticks produce a price per contract change of $50 then this number of ticks is equivalent to one ES point.

 

I hope that makes sense and is helpful, and good look in your trading.

thanks for the explanation it makes much more sense. I was sitting there trying to find the distance traveled in the instrument ratio like 10 pts in YM to 1pt in ES. But it was just about contract specifications I understand Thanks a lot just made me stop pulling my hear.

No worries. Instruments such as the YM, ES, NQ, DIA, SPY, QQQQ, do generally keep approximate pace with one another, partly because they share components, partly because they reflect long term macro-economics, and partly because there will be pairs trading and arbitraging between them. But there is no way that you can expect one to move by a certain precise amount whenever another does.

    • I guess US has fund managers and investment banking institutions looking after the portfolios on behalf of their clients.
    • There are many resources related to forex trading available on forums like babypips and forexfactory etc.
    • Candle stick pattern is one of the easiest charting patterns available to learn and make money. However, new traders never learn about the skills needed for earning money but they rush for making money and eventually lose their money.
    • Nothing wrong with being a ‘progressive’. Nothing wrong with being a ‘conservative’.  Very generally, ‘conservatives’ have preponderance of the here and now neurotransmitters, prefer empirical references, the rule of law, and value individual agency (It has been said that conservatives love humans and progressives love humanity) . Very generally, ‘progressives’ are dopaginaric - driven by passion for a better possible future, prefer references to others  (Example Karmela won’t answer questions with facts.  She cites the opinion of 18 ‘experts’), have a penchant for rule by man/mobs not by law , and value ‘societal' agency.  However, excesses of either tendency indicates mental illness, collective malaise, and has consequences.  When either camp is systematically captured by control seekers and/or, situationally by mobs, the whole is lessened. A key sign that is occurring is when one side no longer allows disagreement.  Progressives have  currently gone crazy in those excesses and are no longer allowing anything but unithought... examples - You can still be a vocal pro choice republican.  Try being a vocal pro life democrat. For snicks just try it.  You’ll get cancelled.  Bust a myth about blacks in America, true up the real  history of Republicans ending slavery and what has happened since, how the democrats are the party of the KKK, how Obama did not a fkn thang for blacks in general, be a black republican, etc.    You will get canceled in a heartbeat. Step up and question the social agendas of federally subsidized schools at a board meeting... get treated like shit and also get an immediate case number with the FBI ... Question the requirements to watch and lickkiss the 'rainbows' and also make sure your kids show up for it, not to mention fund transitions out of your pocket and see what you get ‘labeled’ Question mainstream media bias - even just to mention that biased, agenda driven narrative is different from truth in reporting - and see what happens to your voice... Excesses have consequences... imbalances have consequences... just sayin’
