- A 100-point move on 2 MYM = $100.00.
- 1 tick on 10 MYM = 10 × $0.50 = $5.00.
- The same 100-point move on 1 YM = $500.00.
MYM and YM
MYM is the micro version of YM. MYM = 1/10 of YM: YM ticks are worth $5.00 and a 1.00 move is $5.
Micros let you size in smaller steps: a stop of the same distance costs a fraction as much. See micro vs mini futures to convert a position from one to the other.
