Usually referring to ES trades, 1 point is 4 ticks.

Points
A point usually refers to the smallest possible price change on the left side of the decimal point. The following would be 3 point changes:
ES moves from 1326.00 to 1329.00
CL moves from 100.49 to 103.49
FDAX moves from 7170.0 to 7173.0
Ticks and Points
A tick is the smallest possible price change for a market. This means that points are equal to or larger than ticks. For YM a 4 tick move is identical with a 4 point move, as YM trades in whole points.

A point is a dollar. Reguardless of the instrument you are watching.
Although that point's value or worth varies greatly. YM 5 bucks... 6E 125,000 (that's the move I want to catch)
I believe a picture is worth a thousand words..
