Q&A

Within the scope of FOREX trading, a "pip" indicates a "percentage in point." It is a common measure of change in a currency pair's exchange rate. A pip's value is usually not set and might change depending on the amount of the trade and the currency pair being exchanged.

The formula to calculate the value of a pip in most currency pairs is as follows:

Value of 1 Pip =
Pip × Trade Size

Exchange Rate

Here's a breakdown of the components:

Pip: This represents the exchange rate's one pip movement. for most currency pairs, it is the fourth (0.0001). For example, the smallest whole unit moves the USD/CAD currency pair can make is $0.0001= 1 pip. But for currency pairs involving the Japanese Yen, 1 pip = $0.01

Trade Size: This indicates the number of units of the base currency being traded.

Exchange Rate: This is the current rate at which one currency can be exchanged for another.

For most CFDs like Gold, Silver, Oil, 1 pip equals $0.01, while in Copper and Gas, CFDs 1 pip equals 0.001. To calculate the pip value in Gold, let’s take an example:

If one is trading 100 ounces of Gold, and the present cost of Gold stands at $2020 per ounce, a fluctuation of 1$ in the Gold price will lead to a 100-pip rise or fall.

Size of contract = 100 ounces

Pip = $0.01

Current price = $2020

So, Pip value = (100 x 0.01) / 2020 = 0.0004950 per ounce
