Markets on FairTicks
This page displays markets returned by the FairTicks public market directory, together with their logical tick configuration and informational historical calibration metrics. Current market availability and the rules applied to your account are determined by the live FairTicks platform state.
FairTicks publishes market-level configuration to make logical ticks and historical market behavior easier to understand. Calibration metrics are descriptive, not predictive, and never override the live market state or the rules applied to your account.
How to read this page
| Column | What it means |
|---|---|
| Tick size | The logical price increment used by the FairTicks engine for that market. Contracts such as NANO, MICRO, and MINI determine the configured value applied per logical tick. |
| Velocity | A historical calibration classification from Very slow to Extreme, derived from the movement data used by the FairTicks calibration process. It describes the published calibration snapshot and does not predict future movement. |
| Control score | A 0–100 informational calibration score derived from historical market behavior. Higher values indicate a comparatively calmer published calibration profile; lower values indicate a comparatively more demanding one. It is not a safety rating, recommendation, or prediction. |
Live market directory
This directory displays the latest calibration data currently published by FairTicks. Use the search box to filter by symbol or name, and use the displayed calibration date to understand how current each published snapshot is.
These metrics are informational transparency data, not trading advice and not forecasts. Market availability, logical tick configuration, calibration data, and other parameters can change. The live FairTicks platform state determines the market access and account rules actually applied when you trade.
Understanding velocity
| Velocity | Typical behavior | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| VERY SLOW | The published calibration reflects comparatively limited short-interval movement. | This label describes the historical calibration snapshot only; live behavior can differ. |
| SLOW | The published calibration reflects comparatively lower short-interval movement. | Use the label as descriptive context, not as a forecast of current conditions. |
| MEDIUM | The published calibration reflects a middle-range movement profile. | Actual movement can change after the calibration timestamp. |
| HIGH | The published calibration reflects comparatively elevated short-interval movement. | Review live conditions and your account risk parameters before opening a position. |
| VERY HIGH | The published calibration reflects a comparatively high-movement profile. | The classification is informational and does not determine whether a market is suitable for you. |
| EXTREME | The published calibration reflects the highest movement category in this directory. | Historical classification does not predict the size or direction of the next move. |
Common questions
“How often is this data updated?”
The directory displays the latest calibration timestamp returned by the public market-directory endpoint. Refresh frequency can change; use the date in the Calibrated column rather than assuming a new calibration has already run.
“Does a low control score mean I should avoid the market?”
No. The control score is an informational historical calibration metric, not a recommendation or safety rating. A lower score represents a comparatively more demanding published calibration profile. Live conditions and the rules applied to your account can differ from that historical snapshot.
“Why does the logical tick differ from the exchange tick?”
FairTicks applies its logical-tick configuration when processing market movement inside the simulated trading environment. This provides a consistent tick framework for the FairTicks PnL engine. Read Contracts System to see how logical ticks, contract values, and PnL work together.
“Are wins really capped but not losses?”
Where the FairTicks engine has a positive-move cap enabled for a market, unusually large positive logical-tick movement may be limited according to that active configuration. In gain-only mode, that protection applies to positive movement; it does not increase negative PnL or reduce losses. The result recorded by the FairTicks engine is the result applied to the simulated position.
Summary
FairTicks publishes market configuration so traders can understand logical tick settings and historical calibration characteristics. Treat these values as transparency data and always distinguish the latest published calibration snapshot from current live market conditions and account rules.
Use the latest published calibration as context — and check its timestamp instead of assuming a fixed refresh schedule.
Volatility is not the enemy — surprise is.
Market calibration improves transparency, but it cannot predict future movement. Match contracts and exposure to the live conditions and your account rules.
