Sizing ZF? In the futures risk panel, pick Custom… and enter 1000 as the $ per point (one full point) and 0.0078125 as the tick size. Type Entry, Stop and Target as decimals: 110'16 is 110.5, not 110.16, and a third digit is a fraction of a 32nd (2 is ¼, 5 is ½, 7 is ¾), so 110'165 is 110.515625. The panel then 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.
