Sizing CL? In the futures risk panel, pick Custom… and enter 1000 as the $ per point (a move of 1.00 in the price) and 0.01 as the tick size: it turns your stop distance and your risk per trade into a contract count. The full chart, covering index, energy, metals, Treasuries, FX and grains, is on the futures tick value cheat sheet.
Exchanges occasionally amend contract specs: confirm with your broker or cmegroup.com before relying on a value. Everything you enter stays in your browser. Educational tool, not financial advice. Futures trading involves substantial risk of loss.
Tick maths is the easy part. ImprintTrader scores whether the CL setup matched your written rules — before you take it.
