Notes:

Contract Size - $125,000 Euros

Tick Size: 0.0001=$12.50 for premium
Trading Hours: 

Sunday - Friday 6:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. (5:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. Chicago Time/CT) with a 60-minute break each day beginning at 5:00 p.m. (4:00 p.m. CT).

* Tip: Understanding what the numbers mean when looking at EuroFX prices. The quotation you see is in U.S. dollars and cents on the index. The multiplier is 125,000 Euros. So, a quote of 1.1350 on the index is the standard quotation. Each contract you are buying or selling is where you take the price times 125000 (125000 x $1.1350 = $141,875 for contract). So, a 1 tick move is $0.0001 x 125000 = $12.50 USD per tick up or down on the futures.
