As from the 3rd of January 2018, in line with the provisions of the second Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II), prices on equities (shares) and exchange-traded funds for limit orders are to be entered in accordance with the applicable decimal price increments (tick size) for the respective financial instrument.

A tick size is the minimum upward or downward price movement of a security, and is determined by the stock exchange where the security is traded. For example, if the tick price of a security is EUR 0.01, when submitting a limit order on that security, the limit price that you enter must be a multiple of EUR 0.01 as the price of the security can only vary by EUR 0.01. Otherwise your order cannot be executed.
