What is a pip ?
Pips stands for ‘PERCENTAGE IN PIONTS’. In the Forex trading, a ‘PIP’ is a unit of measurement which represents the smallest change in the price of currency or a currency pair. In the stock markets this is a classified as a ‘POINT’.
As a result, some folks refer to pips as points.
Pips are the last decimal point in an exchange rate or currency pair.
For the majority of currencies a ‘PIP’ is equal to 0.0001.
This means that if you purchased USD/CHF at 1.2310 and sold at 1.2330, you made 20 pips
USD/JPY: 110.78 .01 divided by exchange rate = pip value
