MYM tick value in dollars
MYM is the Dow at one-tenth of YM. One tick is a full point worth just $0.50, which makes it one of the smaller-dollar index futures.
Worked example. You buy 1 MYM at 40000 and sell at 40050. The move is 50 price units, which is 50 ticks. At $0.50 per tick that is $25 per contract; trading 2 contracts doubles it to $50. A stop the same distance away would cost the same amount, which is why you should convert every stop into dollars before you enter.
Micro vs mini
MYM is the micro version of YM (E-mini Dow ($5)) at one-tenth the size: a tick is $0.50 instead of $5. Ten MYM contracts equal one YM in dollar exposure, so a $250 YM result on the same move would be $25 here.
To turn a stop distance into a contract count, use the position size calculator. Inside a prop-firm evaluation, check the result against the drawdown with the prop firm challenge calculator, and read the micro vs mini futures guide.
