it’s the same in some ways and different in others
the underlying principles are exactly the same but the details are very different
specifically, the pip-values are all different
example: AUS/USD spot has a pip-value of $10 per pip per lot; 6A (the futures equivalent) has a tick-value of $5 per tick per lot
another example: GBP/USD spot has a pip-value of $10 per pip per lot; 6B (the futures equivalent) has a tick-value of $6.25 per tick per lot
another example: “US500” (or whatever your broker might call their S&P product) has a pip-value of $1 or $10 per pip per lot, depending on the broker; ES (the futures equivalent) has a tick-value of $12.50 per tick per lot (that’s $50 per “point”) but the very liquid, very tradable MES (micro S&P) is only $1.25 per tick per lot (that’s $5 per “point”)
is this the kind of thing you’re asking about?
it takes just a little bit (really a “little” bit, that’s not a euphemism!) of getting used to
