For Eurex futures contract FTDX, TechDAX:

0.5 tick, 5 euros per tick <- what https://www.eurex.com/ex-en/markets/idx/dax/TecDAX-Futures-253644 , the Eurex website says.

What the SymbolSettings.scdataallservices.xml from SC version 4911 says:

<settings>
<symbol>FTDX?##-EUREX</symbol>
<underlying-symbol>FTDX</underlying-symbol>
...
<tick-size>0.1</tick-size>
<currency-value-per-tick>10</currency-value-per-tick>

Which is correct?

The data seems to suggest that the Eurex website is correct and the SymbolSettings file should be updated.
Prices seem to be using 0.5 ticks; not 0.1 ticks.
