Tick Factor = the price increment representing 1 whole trading unit, by
which P&L and both initial and variation margin is calculated. For
non-FX CFDs, the Notional Value of your underlying transaction is Price
* Number of CFDs/Tick Factor.

Minimum / Maximum Trade Sizes

Maximum
trading sizes vary according to underlying liquidity, market conditions
and whether the underlying market is classed as being quoted by AM Financials  as "out of hours", i.e. outside of regular trading
hours.

The market information sheets
indicate the usual minimum and maximum trading sizes in GBP; currency
equivalents apply for non-GBP accounts, or when trading on markets
denominated in a currency other than GBP.

Restrictions may be applied to maximum trade sizes whether opening or closing.

The lot size of the corresponding underlying market is provided for your information, as a guide to minimum market trading size.

When
you trade CFDs you are always trading the in "base" currency of the
underlying market. E.g. if you trade a US share, you are trading in US
dollars per one cent movement.
