We will be streaming trade level calculation data soon, and this will be the recommended way to show unrealised PNL per open position. If you are trying to calculate the unrealised PNL in a client application, then you need to be aware that for some markets you won’t have the necessary data due to premiums back to base conversions commission etc. If there is enough demand for Bet Per to be included in Market Information, we can add it.

The question doesn’t make sense, what are you trying to do?

In the Genesis backend this is called the BetPer

I’m talking about a parameter that named “tick value”http://daytrading.about.com/od/daytradingglossary/g/TickSizeValue.htm. For example, this market: US Crude Oil (per 0.01) Oct 11 CFD. It has tick value 0.01. Is there any way to get this parameter using CIAPI? It’s necessary to calculate open positions P&L correctly.
