A tick is the minimum up – or downwards movement in the price of an asset. Before decimalisation, the smallest possible fractional move of a traded asset was 1/16th of a dollar (or other currency), but from the 1970s until about 2000 gradually all markets moved towards using a decimal tick, invariably 0.01.
The tick is something of an arbitrary measure for traders, but with very low value stocks it may sometimes change. For example, when trading shares worth less than $1, the tick value will sometimes be a fraction of a cent. This only applies in a very limited range of cases.
ADSS offers a range of global markets for traders, with opportunities in indices, commodities, forex, equities and more. We also feature tutorials, how-to guides, and weekly webinars to help you navigate the financial markets and find better trading opportunities. You can start trading and investing online by opening a live trading or demo trading account.
Investing in CFDs involves a high degree of risk that you will lose your money due to the use of leverage, particularly in fast moving markets, where a relatively small movement in the price can lead to a proportionately larger movement in the value of your investment. This can result in loses that exceed the funds in your account. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and you should seek independent advice if necessary.
