❔ Frequently asked questions

What is a pip in forex trading?

A pip (percentage in point) is the smallest price movement in a trading pair. For most currency pairs, a pip is the fourth decimal place (0.0001). For currency pairs involving the Japanese yen, a pip is the second decimal place (0.01).

How is pip value calculated?

Pip value is calculated by multiplying the pip size (0.0001 or 0.01) by the lot size (in base currency units), and then dividing by the exchange rate if conversion to account currency is needed. Our calculator handles this complex calculation automatically.
