Fractional Pricing - Tick and Decimal Conversions
This topic provides all permutations of fractional price type and tick size.
*For products that tick in modified fourths (30-Day Fed Funds options and Rough Rice options), the decimal ‘.5’ is implied in the price display. The Number of Decimals in Displayed Price will be sent out as ‘01’ but should be treated as ‘00’. For example, an actual price of ’12.5’ would be displayed as ‘12’ even though the Number of Decimals in Displayed price value ‘01’ normally dictates a display of ’12.5’. Therefore, client systems must include the .5 in the fractional conversion to decimal calculation for these products.
