Frequently Asked Questions

Pip value depends on the instrument structure, lot size, and sometimes the current market price. EUR/USD behaves differently from USD/JPY or Gold because the quote and conversion mechanics are different.

Pairs where USD is the base currency, or certain cross structures, need the current market price to convert the pip movement into USD accurately.

Use pip value together with stop-loss distance to understand trade risk before you place an order. It is one of the core building blocks behind disciplined position sizing.
