6E (Euro FX Futures)
CME euro currency futures, ticker 6E. 125,000 euros per contract, $6.25 per half-pip tick. The exchange-traded route to EUR/USD for futures prop accounts.
In plain English
Futures prop firms do not offer spot forex, so currency exposure comes through FX futures like 6E, which mirrors EUR/USD. Each 0.00005 tick is $6.25; a 50 pip move is $625 per contract.
6E trades cleanest during the London and New York overlap and around ECB and US data. For traders arriving from forex prop firms, 6E is the familiar market inside the futures rulebook.
- Short 1 6E from 1.0900 to 1.0860 is 40 pips, 80 ticks x $6.25 = $500.
