0.001 NEW TICK SIZE (TRY) | 10x SENSITIVITY INCREASE | May 20 UPDATE DATE |
What is Tick Size?
Tick size is the minimum price difference between two consecutive price levels in an order book. It is the smallest price unit at which a call or sell order can be placed. In the existing situation, the smallest tier in the USDT/TRY pair is 0.01 TRY. As of May 20th, this value decreasing to 0.001 TRY makes order execution much closer to the target price possible.
What Changes in Practice?
Example: Limit Order Pricing
Pre-Update (3 tiers with 0.01 steps):

After Update (10 tiers with 0.001 steps):

NOTE: Existing open orders will not be affected. Only orders created after 15:00 (UTC+3) on May 20, 2026, will be subject to the new tick size rule.
