Tick trade的意思

"Tick trade" is a term used in the context of financial markets, particularly in options trading. A "tick" refers to the smallest increment that an option's price can change. For example, if an option's price increases from $3.15 to $3.16, that's a one-tick increase.

A "tick trade" typically refers to a trade that is executed at a specific tick price level. This means that the trade is triggered or executed when the price of the underlying asset or the option itself reaches a certain tick value. Traders might use tick trades as part of their strategy to take advantage of small price movements or to manage risk more precisely.

In the context of stock trading, a "tick" can also refer to the direction of a stock's price movement (up or down), with a plus sign (+) indicating an increase in price and a minus sign (-) indicating a decrease. In this context, a "tick trade" might refer to a trade that is executed based on the tick's direction rather than a specific price level.
