MIZORA / MARKET ATLAS01
FOUR MARKETS. ONE PERSPECTIVE.SIMULATED TRADING

01 / The index desk

Three indices.
Three different views.

An index futures symbol refers to a contract linked to an underlying index. Start by knowing which basket of companies you are looking at.

NQ

Nasdaq-100

E-mini Nasdaq-100

An equity-index futures reference associated with the Nasdaq-100. Read its own specifications before comparing a move with another contract.

ES

S&P 500

E-mini S&P 500

A futures reference for the S&P 500 index. The chart level, contract multiplier and smallest price increment each describe a different part of the instrument.

YM

Dow Jones Industrial Average

E-mini Dow

A futures reference associated with the Dow. Sharing the same account does not make different contracts interchangeable.

02 / Learn the unit

Small steps.
Specific meaning.

A tick is a contract’s minimum price increment. A point is a full unit on its price scale. They are not always the same.

For the exchange-listed E-mini S&P 500 contract, one tick is 0.25 index points. Four ticks make one point.

This is an exchange-specification lesson, not a Mizora profit calculator. Confirm the current specification and order-ticket sizing before trading.

Reference desk CME Group: points, ticks and contract value (opens in a new tab)

ES / illustrative price movement

1.00index points

Tick count × 0.25 = index-point movement.

03 / Before the opening bell

Read more than the chart.

  1. 01

    Identify the contract

    Check the full symbol and contract information. Futures have contract months; understand which reference the platform is displaying.

  2. 02

    Check the session

    Opening times, maintenance windows and holiday sessions can differ. Use the current platform information instead of assuming a market is always open.

  3. 03

    Size the idea

    Read the order ticket and account risk before you submit. A stop level, position size and account limit need to be considered together.

On Mizora One, all trading capital is simulated. This page introduces the market references; it does not provide exchange membership or promise access to every listed contract. Read the risk disclosure.
