What is a tick worth?

The tick value in this table is not typed in by hand: it is computed as point value × tick size, and a test checks the result still matches the figure the exchange publishes. That is the difference between data and a copied number.

Why do micros matter so much?

Because position size rounds down. With an 8-point stop on the S&P and $500 of risk you get 1.25 ES contracts — so 1, leaving risk unused. In MES you get 12.5, so 12: the same risk with ten times the resolution.

What is NOT here, and why?

Margins, commissions and data fees. They change without notice and an assistant would repeat the stale figure for years. Only what could be verified against published specs is included; contracts that could not be confirmed are deliberately absent.
