## Questions

### How do you calculate futures profit?

Divide the price move by the contract's tick size to get ticks, then multiply by the tick value and the number of contracts. For a short trade, the move is entry minus exit.

### What is the difference between a tick and a point?

A tick is the smallest price step a contract can move. A point is a full move of 1.00 in the quoted price. On ES, four 0.25 ticks make one point.

### Does this include commissions?

No. The result is the price move only, before commissions and slippage.
