BLUR·Q tick sizes changing today? Your orders stay as they are

Have you seen a “tick size is changing” alert while placing limit orders for BLURUSDT or QUSDT in the futures order window? Based on official Binance announcements and public reports, a **tick size** adjustment is scheduled for around **2026-10-28 14:30 (UTC+8)** today. Trading will continue as usual, and orders you’ve already placed will remain in place. This is not a buy or sell recommendation.
Honestly, it’s confusing if you assume that “a smaller number is always bad.” BLUR and Q are moving in opposite directions.
## What changes today at 14:30?
U-margined futures **BLURUSDT** tick size will become finer, changing from approximately **0.00001 → 0.000001**, while **QUSDT** tick size will become coarser, changing from approximately **0.000001 → 0.00001**. It’s the same “tick size” announcement, but the price increments are getting finer for one and coarser for the other.
The change is scheduled for around 14:30 (UTC+8) / 06:30 UTC. The timing of updates on the screen and in the API may differ by a few seconds, so it’s safest to check the price increments in the **futures order panel** for the relevant pair. Don’t assume all other U-margined pairs are changing at once; check only the symbols listed in the announcement.
## Will existing orders or bots be affected?
According to the announcement and reports, **existing orders will remain in place**, and trading itself won’t be suspended. There’s no need to worry that “all orders will be canceled when the tick size changes.”
However, things may be different if you use a bot, API, or grid strategy with **price precision** hard-coded. Even if the precision in exchangeInfo is synchronized, limit orders may be rejected if your local settings still use the old increments. Around 14:30, check the bot settings and limit order intervals for BLUR and Q. If you only place orders manually, checking the step size in the order panel may be enough.
## Is a smaller tick size bad?
No. A smaller tick size means the price increments are **finer**. That’s the case for BLURUSDT; QUSDT is moving in the opposite direction and becoming **coarser**. Don’t assume it’s good or bad news based on the numbers alone.
In practice, the order book and limit order increments may look different. Since the minimum price increment changes, you may just need to adjust your usual price-rounding habits. The spread or how orders fill may feel a little different, but that doesn’t guarantee profits or signal certain losses.
## What should I check in the order panel?
Here’s what I usually do:
- Go to Futures → the order panel for the relevant symbol, select **Limit**, and check how many increments the price moves by.
- If you use a bot or strategy, update and save the **tickSize / price precision** settings for each symbol.
- If you use the API, check whether the relevant filter in exchangeInfo has changed.
The pair may not appear on your screen or may be unavailable in your region or account. In that case, use what’s shown in your account as the reference. If the app and website are both open, one may still be showing cached data and the old increments, so try refreshing.
## Frequently asked questions
**Q. Will changing the tick size liquidate my position?**  
A. Based on the scope of this announcement and related reports, this is a tick size adjustment, not a forced liquidation event. Liquidation is based on margin and mark price, and is separate from tick size.
**Q. Are both BLUR and Q getting finer increments?**  
A. No. BLURUSDT is getting finer (0.00001→0.000001), while QUSDT is getting coarser (0.000001→0.00001)—they’re moving in opposite directions.
**Q. What about limit orders I’ve already placed?**  
A. The announcement says they’ll remain in place. Still, after 14:30, check your order history to make sure the order status is “Normal.”
**Q. Will my bot adjust automatically if I just leave it running?**  
A. Even if the platform synchronizes API precision, your bot may encounter rejections or discrepancies if its local settings still have the old values. It’s a good idea to check the settings of any bots using BLUR or Q.
With futures, tick sizes, and bot settings, even a small unit error can affect how orders fill or whether they’re rejected. This is just a guide to the timing, pairs, and direction of the increment changes—not a buy or sell recommendation.
