Tick-size tier
A tick-size tier sets the minimum permitted price increment, often based on price, venue or security class.
Plain-language meaning
A tick-size tier sets the minimum permitted price increment, often based on price, venue or security class.
Why it is useful
Tick-size tier is useful as descriptive evidence when it is compared on the same definition, source, period, unit and exact listing. It is one input to research, not a verdict.
Where it appears in XMarketRadar
Look for Tick-size tier on Market Details, quotes, order/price context, watchlists and screener result columns when the selected provider supplies the field.
How it is calculated or sourced
Tick-size tier is sourced or derived according to the definition shown above and the screen's disclosed provider, inputs, window and as-of time. Missing required inputs produce an unavailable result.
Inputs, period and unit
Read the disclosed inputs or source, observation period, bar interval, unit, native currency and scale. A value without its source and as-of context is incomplete; unlike units must not be combined.
Worked example
Illustrative only: If a venue tier sets a ₹0.05 tick, ₹100.00 and ₹100.05 are valid adjacent prices while ₹100.03 is not under that tier.
What high and low mean
A higher or lower Tick-size tier value is descriptive, not automatically good or bad. Meaning depends on the instrument, comparison period, method and related evidence.
Positive, negative and genuine zero
Positive and negative Tick-size tier values retain the definition shown here. A genuine reported or computed zero is displayed as 0 and is not the same as missing evidence.
Limitations and common mistakes
Tick-size tier may differ by provider definition, observation time, instrument and venue. Common mistakes are dropping units or dates, comparing unlike scopes, and treating a missing value as zero.
Market-specific differences
The concept is used across JPN, KOR, GBR, USA, CAN, IND, but currency, price scale, session calendar, source field and regulatory definition can differ. XMarketRadar preserves the exact exchange context.
