zero-minus tick
|
Zero minus-tick refers to a transaction made at the same price as a preceding trade, but at a price lower than two transactions previous. Also, known as zero downtick. |
Written descriptions of zero minus ticks is far more complicated than the actual concepts. As an example to of a zero downtick, if trades are executed at 53, then 52 and then 52 again – then the last trade at 52 was a zero downtick.
One of the greatest disadvantages of speculating in the stock market is the rule that prevents shorting shares on a downtick. Share traders are not able to short a stock during a downtick or zero downtick – only after an up-tick of price in the share. Such restrictions on shorting and profiting from asset’s decline do not exist in the FX Market.
