6E tick value in dollars
6E is the euro against the U.S. dollar. A tick of 0.00005 ("half a pip") is worth $6.25, so a 50-pip move is $625 per contract.
Worked example. You buy 1 6E at 1.08 and sell at 1.085. The move is 0.005 price units, which is 100 ticks. At $6.25 per tick that is $625 per contract; trading 2 contracts doubles it to $1,250. A stop the same distance away would cost the same amount, which is why you should convert every stop into dollars before you enter.
