Index point value and tick size are set by your broker and can vary between platforms — for every symbol above, enter the numbers from your platform's Symbol / Contract Specification screen (this is the same info MT5's Market Watch shows). If you trade an exchange-listed futures version of one of these markets directly (e.g. Eurex FDAX, HKEX HSI, NSE Nifty), use the multiplier from that exchange's contract spec instead.
