How you count one pip ?

What is the value of one pip?

 

[flbroker]

0,0001 is the value of 1 pip.

 

[Rhody Trader]

A pip's value depends on the pair you're trading and the size of the position.

 

[samirdu16]

to answer you I will use the two previous posts

if you mean one pip value .. its 0.0001

and the pip's value will depend on the pair you are trading !

To get the value of one pip in a currency pair, you can just divide one pip in decimal form (i.e. 0.0001) by the current exchange rate, and then multiply it by the notional amount of the trade.

what you mean ?

Fore example: EUR/USD

(.0001/1.0055) x EUR100,000 = EUR 9.93

But we want the pip value in USD, so we then must multiply EUR 9.93 x (EUR/USD exchange rate): EUR 9.93 x 1.0055 = $10

Can you suggest me some one ?

Other than for the absolute basics, I suggest that you dont take advice from a broker, a forum, a book, or anyone selling any product or service

Its generally in the interest of all of the above that you fail.

Samira

it really depends on what you are jumping. That said The Hare has a point. There are plenty of places to get a basic understanding of how FX works, with examples.

Many brokers are now quoting out to 5 decimal places so you want to do your homework. Note for example that USDJPY is generally quoted out to 2 decimal places.

For everyone to know! this is very important,
the value of 1 pip is 0.0001 B-U-T !

the value of pip in a pair that includes JPY is 0.01 , remember that.

Tom,

a 'pip' by definition is the smallest price change that a currency exchange rate can make. So if a broker is quoting out to 5 decimal places what then? I agree convention states that say for GBPUSD the standardised unit is 0.0001.

Explaining fractional pips (ie the 5th decimal place) to someone who has not traded before is quite hard.

 

[Tom Frank]

You are probably right, that is a better way to explain it.
