Just a little bit.\nTake your time with this information, as it is required knowledge for all forex traders.\nDon’t even think about trading until you are comfortable with\npip\nvalues and calculating profit and loss.\nWhat the heck is a Pip?\nThe unit of measurement to express the change in value between two currencies is called a “\npip\n.”\nIf EUR\/USD moves from 1\n.1050 to 1.1051\n, that .0001 USD rise in value is\nONE PIP\n.\nA pip is usually the last decimal place of a price quote.\nMost pairs go out to 4 decimal places, but there are some exceptions like Japanese yen pairs (they go out to\ntwo\ndecimal places).\nFor example, for EUR\/USD, it is\n0.0001\n, and for USD\/JPY, it is\n0.01\n.\nWhat is a Pipette?\nThere are forex brokers that quote currency pairs beyond the standard “4 and 2” decimal places to “5 and 3” decimal places.\nThey are quoting\nFRACTIONAL PIPS\n, also called “points” or “pipettes.”\nIf the concept of a “pip” isn’t already confusing enough for the new forex trader, let’s try to make you even more confused and point out that a “point” or “pipette” or “fractional pip” is equal to a “\ntenth of a pip\n“.\nFor instance, if GBP\/USD moves from 1.3054\n2\nto 1.30543\n,\nthat .00001 USD move higher is\nONE PIPETTE.\nHere’s how fractional pips look like on a trading platform:\nOn trading platforms, the digit representing a tenth of a pip usually appears to the\nright\nof the two larger digits.\nHere’s a pip “map” to help you learn how to read\npips\n…\nHow to Calculate the Value of a Pip\nAs each currency has its own relative value, it’s necessary to calculate the value of a pip for that particular currency pair.\nIn the following example, we will use a quote with 4 decimal places.\nFor the purpose of better explaining the calculations, exchange rates will be expressed as a ratio (i.e., EUR\/USD at 1.2500 will be written as “1 EUR \/ 1.2500 USD”)\nExample #1: USD\/CAD = 1.0200\nTo be read as 1 USD to 1.0200 CAD (or 1 USD\/1.0200 CAD)\n(The value change in counter currency) times the exchange rate ratio = pip value (in terms of the base currency)\n[.0001 CAD] x [1 USD\/1.0200 CAD]\nOr simply as:\n[(.0001\nCAD\n) \/ (1.0200\nCAD\n)] x 1 USD = 0.00009804 USD per unit traded\nUsing this example, if we traded 10,000 units of USD\/CAD, then a one-pip change to the exchange rate would be approximately a 0.98 USD change in the position value (10,000 units x 0.00009804 USD\/unit).\nWe say “approximately” because as the exchange rate changes, so does the value of each pip move.\nExample #2: GBP\/JPY = 123.00\nHere’s another example using a currency pair with the Japanese Yen as the counter currency.\nNotice that this currency pair only goes to two decimal places to measure a 1 pip change in value (most of the other currencies have four decimal places). In this case, a one-pip move would be .01 JPY.\n(The value change in counter currency) times the exchange rate ratio = pip value (in terms of the base currency)\n[.01 JPY] x [1 GBP\/123.00 JPY]\nOr simply as:\n[(.01\nJPY\n) \/ (123.00\nJPY\n)] x 1 GBP = 0.0000813 GBP\nSo, when trading 10,000 units of GBP\/JPY, each pip change in value is worth approximately 0.813 GBP.\nHow to Find the Pip Value in Your Trading Account’s Currency\nThe final question to ask when figuring out the pip value of your position is, “What is the pip value in terms of my trading account’s currency?”\nAfter all, it is a global market, and\nnot everyone has their account denominated in the same currency\n.\nThis means that the pip value will have to be translated to whatever currency our account may be traded in.\nThis calculation is probably the easiest of all; simply multiply\/divide the “\nfound pip value\n” by the exchange rate of your account currency and the currency in question.\nIf the “found pip value” currency is the same currency as the base currency in the exchange rate quote:\nUsing the GBP\/JPY example above, let’s convert the found pip value of .813 GBP to the pip value in USD by using GBP\/USD at 1.5590 as our exchange rate ratio.\nIf the currency you are converting to is the counter currency of the exchange rate, all you have to do is divide the “found pip value” by the corresponding exchange rate ratio:\n.813 GBP per pip \/ (1 GBP\/1.5590 USD)\nOr\n[(.813\nGBP\n) \/ (1\nGBP\n)] x (1.5590 USD) = 1.2674 USD per pip move\nSo, for every .01 pip move in GBP\/JPY, the value of a 10,000 unit position changes by approximately 1.27 USD.\nIf the currency you are converting to is the base currency of the conversion exchange rate ratio, then multiply the “found pip value” by the conversion exchange rate ratio.\nUsing our USD\/CAD example above, we want to find the pip value of .98 USD in New Zealand Dollars. We’ll use .7900 as our conversion exchange rate ratio:\n0.98 USD per pip X (1 NZD\/.7900 USD)\nOr\n[(0.98\nUSD\n) \/ (.7900\nUSD\n)] x (1 NZD) = 1.2405 NZD per pip move\nFor every .0001 pip move in USD\/CAD from the example above, your 10,000 unit position changes in value by approximately 1.24 NZD.\nEven though you’re now a math genius–at least with pip values–you’re probably rolling your eyes back and thinking, “Do I really need to work all this out?”\nWell, the answer is a big fat NO. Nearly all forex brokers will work all this out for you automatically, but it’s always good for you to know how they work it out.\nIf your broker doesn’t happen to do this, don’t worry! You can use our\nPip Value Calculator\n! Aren’t we awesome?!\nIn the next lesson, we will discuss how these seemingly insignificant amounts can add up.","attrs_markdown":"## [Babypips](https:\/\/www.babypips.com\/)\n- [AnalysisPremium](https:\/\/www.babypips.com\/analysis)\n- [News](https:\/\/www.babypips.com\/news)\n- [Trading](https:\/\/www.babypips.com\/trading)\n  -

Just a little bit.\n\n![Learn About Pips in Forex](https:\/\/bpcdn.co\/images\/2011\/03\/18002717\/learn-forex-and-pips-780x562.jpg)\n\nTake your time with this information, as it is required knowledge for all forex traders.\n\nDon’t even think about trading until you are comfortable with [pip](https:\/\/www.babypips.com\/forexpedia\/pip) values and calculating profit and loss.\n\n## What the heck is a Pip?\nThe unit of measurement to express the change in value between two currencies is called a “**pip**.”\n\nIf EUR\/USD moves from 1**.1050 to 1.1051**, that .0001 USD rise in value is **ONE PIP**.\n\n**A pip is usually the last decimal place of a price quote.**\n\nMost pairs go out to 4 decimal places, but there are some exceptions like Japanese yen pairs (they go out to *two* decimal places).\n\nFor example, for EUR\/USD, it is **0\\.0001**, and for USD\/JPY, it is **0\\.01**.\n\n![Pip](https:\/\/bpcdn.co\/images\/2011\/03\/20052419\/pip-780x293.png)\n\n## What is a Pipette?\nThere are forex brokers that quote currency pairs beyond the standard “4 and 2” decimal places to “5 and 3” decimal places.\n\nThey are quoting **FRACTIONAL PIPS**, also called “points” or “pipettes.”\n\nIf the concept of a “pip” isn’t already confusing enough for the new forex trader, let’s try to make you even more confused and point out that a “point” or “pipette” or “fractional pip” is equal to a “**tenth of a pip**“.\n\nFor instance, if GBP\/USD moves from 1.3054**2** to 1.30543**,** that .00001 USD move higher is **ONE PIPETTE.**\n\n![Pipette](https:\/\/bpcdn.co\/images\/2011\/03\/20052450\/pipette-780x293.png)\n\nHere’s how fractional pips look like on a trading platform:\n\n![Fractional Pip](https:\/\/bpcdn.co\/images\/2011\/03\/12230739\/fractional-pip.jpg)\n\nOn trading platforms, the digit representing a tenth of a pip usually appears to the *right* of the two larger digits.\n\nHere’s a pip “map” to help you learn how to read [pips](https:\/\/www.babypips.com\/forexpedia\/pip)…![pip cheat sheet](https:\/\/bpcdn.co\/images\/2011\/03\/15144610\/pip-cheat-sheet-forex.png)\n\n## How to Calculate the Value of a Pip\nAs each currency has its own relative value, it’s necessary to calculate the value of a pip for that particular currency pair.\n\nIn the following example, we will use a quote with 4 decimal places.\n\nFor the purpose of better explaining the calculations, exchange rates will be expressed as a ratio (i.e., EUR\/USD at 1.2500 will be written as “1 EUR \/ 1.2500 USD”)\n\n### Example \\#1: USD\/CAD = 1.0200\nTo be read as 1 USD to 1.0200 CAD (or 1 USD\/1.0200 CAD)\n\n(The value change in counter currency) times the exchange rate ratio = pip value (in terms of the base currency)\n\n**\\[.0001 CAD\\] x \\[1 USD\/1.0200 CAD\\]**\n\nOr simply as:\n```\n[(.0001 CAD) \/ (1.0200 CAD)] x 1 USD = 0.00009804 USD per unit traded\n```\nUsing this example, if we traded 10,000 units of USD\/CAD, then a one-pip change to the exchange rate would be approximately a 0.98 USD change in the position value (10,000 units x 0.00009804 USD\/unit).\n\nWe say “approximately” because as the exchange rate changes, so does the value of each pip move.\n\n### Example \\#2: GBP\/JPY = 123.00\nHere’s another example using a currency pair with the Japanese Yen as the counter currency.\n\nNotice that this currency pair only goes to two decimal places to measure a 1 pip change in value (most of the other currencies have four decimal places). In this case, a one-pip move would be .01 JPY.\n\n(The value change in counter currency) times the exchange rate ratio = pip value (in terms of the base currency)\n\n**\\[.01 JPY\\] x \\[1 GBP\/123.00 JPY\\]**\n\nOr simply as:\n```\n[(.01 JPY) \/ (123.00 JPY)] x 1 GBP = 0.0000813 GBP\n```\nSo, when trading 10,000 units of GBP\/JPY, each pip change in value is worth approximately 0.813 GBP.\n\n## How to Find the Pip Value in Your Trading Account’s Currency\nThe final question to ask when figuring out the pip value of your position is, “What is the pip value in terms of my trading account’s currency?”\n\nAfter all, it is a global market, and **not everyone has their account denominated in the same currency**.\n\nThis means that the pip value will have to be translated to whatever currency our account may be traded in.\n\nThis calculation is probably the easiest of all; simply multiply\/divide the “**found pip value**” by the exchange rate of your account currency and the currency in question.\n\nIf the “found pip value” currency is the same currency as the base currency in the exchange rate quote:\n\nUsing the GBP\/JPY example above, let’s convert the found pip value of .813 GBP to the pip value in USD by using GBP\/USD at 1.5590 as our exchange rate ratio.\n\nIf the currency you are converting to is the counter currency of the exchange rate, all you have to do is divide the “found pip value” by the corresponding exchange rate ratio:\n\n****.813 GBP per pip \/ (1 GBP\/1.5590 USD)****\n\nOr\n```\n[(.813 GBP) \/ (1 GBP)] x (1.5590 USD) = 1.2674 USD per pip move\n```\nSo, for every .01 pip move in GBP\/JPY, the value of a 10,000 unit position changes by approximately 1.27 USD.\n\nIf the currency you are converting to is the base currency of the conversion exchange rate ratio, then multiply the “found pip value” by the conversion exchange rate ratio.\n\nUsing our USD\/CAD example above, we want to find the pip value of .98 USD in New Zealand Dollars. We’ll use .7900 as our conversion exchange rate ratio:\n\n****0\\.98 USD per pip X (1 NZD\/.7900 USD)****\n\nOr\n```\n[(0.98 USD) \/ (.7900 USD)] x (1 NZD) = 1.2405 NZD per pip move\n```\nFor every .0001 pip move in USD\/CAD from the example above, your 10,000 unit position changes in value by approximately 1.24 NZD.\n\nEven though you’re now a math genius–at least with pip values–you’re probably rolling your eyes back and thinking, “Do I really need to work all this out?”\n\nWell, the answer is a big fat NO. Nearly all forex brokers will work all this out for you automatically, but it’s always good for you to know how they work it out.\n\nIf your broker doesn’t happen to do this, don’t worry! You can use our **[Pip Value Calculator](https:\/\/www.babypips.com\/tools\/pip-value-calculator \"Pip Calculator\")**!

Meta Canonical	null
Boilerpipe Text	What’s a pip ? You’ve probably heard of the terms “ pips ,” “ points “, “ pipettes ,” and “ lots ” thrown around, and now we’re going to explain what they are and show you how their values are calculated. Here is where we’re going to do a little math. Just a little bit. Take your time with this information, as it is required knowledge for all forex traders. Don’t even think about trading until you are comfortable with pip values and calculating profit and loss. What the heck is a Pip? The unit of measurement to express the change in value between two currencies is called a “ pip .” If EUR/USD moves from 1 .1050 to 1.1051 , that .0001 USD rise in value is ONE PIP . A pip is usually the last decimal place of a price quote. Most pairs go out to 4 decimal places, but there are some exceptions like Japanese yen pairs (they go out to two decimal places). For example, for EUR/USD, it is 0.0001 , and for USD/JPY, it is 0.01 . What is a Pipette? There are forex brokers that quote currency pairs beyond the standard “4 and 2” decimal places to “5 and 3” decimal places. They are quoting FRACTIONAL PIPS , also called “points” or “pipettes.” If the concept of a “pip” isn’t already confusing enough for the new forex trader, let’s try to make you even more confused and point out that a “point” or “pipette” or “fractional pip” is equal to a “ tenth of a pip “. For instance, if GBP/USD moves from 1.3054 2 to 1.30543 , that .00001 USD move higher is ONE PIPETTE. Here’s how fractional pips look like on a trading platform: On trading platforms, the digit representing a tenth of a pip usually appears to the right of the two larger digits. Here’s a pip “map” to help you learn how to read pips … How to Calculate the Value of a Pip As each currency has its own relative value, it’s necessary to calculate the value of a pip for that particular currency pair. In the following example, we will use a quote with 4 decimal places. For the purpose of better explaining the calculations, exchange rates will be expressed as a ratio (i.e., EUR/USD at 1.2500 will be written as “1 EUR / 1.2500 USD”) Example #1: USD/CAD = 1.0200 To be read as 1 USD to 1.0200 CAD (or 1 USD/1.0200 CAD) (The value change in counter currency) times the exchange rate ratio = pip value (in terms of the base currency) [.0001 CAD] x [1 USD/1.0200 CAD] Or simply as: [(.0001 CAD ) / (1.0200 CAD )] x 1 USD = 0.00009804 USD per unit traded Using this example, if we traded 10,000 units of USD/CAD, then a one-pip change to the exchange rate would be approximately a 0.98 USD change in the position value (10,000 units x 0.00009804 USD/unit). We say “approximately” because as the exchange rate changes, so does the value of each pip move. Example #2: GBP/JPY = 123.00 Here’s another example using a currency pair with the Japanese Yen as the counter currency. Notice that this currency pair only goes to two decimal places to measure a 1 pip change in value (most of the other currencies have four decimal places). In this case, a one-pip move would be .01 JPY. (The value change in counter currency) times the exchange rate ratio = pip value (in terms of the base currency) [.01 JPY] x [1 GBP/123.00 JPY] Or simply as: [(.01 JPY ) / (123.00 JPY )] x 1 GBP = 0.0000813 GBP So, when trading 10,000 units of GBP/JPY, each pip change in value is worth approximately 0.813 GBP. How to Find the Pip Value in Your Trading Account’s Currency The final question to ask when figuring out the pip value of your position is, “What is the pip value in terms of my trading account’s currency?” After all, it is a global market, and not everyone has their account denominated in the same currency . This means that the pip value will have to be translated to whatever currency our account may be traded in. This calculation is probably the easiest of all; simply multiply/divide the “ found pip value ” by the exchange rate of your account currency and the currency in question. If the “found pip value” currency is the same currency as the base currency in the exchange rate quote: Using the GBP/JPY example above, let’s convert the found pip value of .813 GBP to the pip value in USD by using GBP/USD at 1.5590 as our exchange rate ratio. If the currency you are converting to is the counter currency of the exchange rate, all you have to do is divide the “found pip value” by the corresponding exchange rate ratio: .813 GBP per pip / (1 GBP/1.5590 USD) Or [(.813 GBP ) / (1 GBP )] x (1.5590 USD) = 1.2674 USD per pip move So, for every .01 pip move in GBP/JPY, the value of a 10,000 unit position changes by approximately 1.27 USD. If the currency you are converting to is the base currency of the conversion exchange rate ratio, then multiply the “found pip value” by the conversion exchange rate ratio. Using our USD/CAD example above, we want to find the pip value of .98 USD in New Zealand Dollars. We’ll use .7900 as our conversion exchange rate ratio: 0.98 USD per pip X (1 NZD/.7900 USD) Or [(0.98 USD ) / (.7900 USD )] x (1 NZD) = 1.2405 NZD per pip move For every .0001 pip move in USD/CAD from the example above, your 10,000 unit position changes in value by approximately 1.24 NZD. Even though you’re now a math genius–at least with pip values–you’re probably rolling your eyes back and thinking, “Do I really need to work all this out?” Well, the answer is a big fat NO. Nearly all forex brokers will work all this out for you automatically, but it’s always good for you to know how they work it out. If your broker doesn’t happen to do this, don’t worry! You can use our Pip Value Calculator ! Aren’t we awesome?! In the next lesson, we will discuss how these seemingly insignificant amounts can add up.

You’ve probably heard of the terms “pips,” “points“, “pipettes,” and “lots” thrown around, and now we’re going to explain what they are and show you how their values are calculated. Here is where we’re going to do a little math. Just a little bit. ![Learn About Pips in Forex](https://bpcdn.co/images/2011/03/18002717/learn-forex-and-pips-780x562.jpg) Take your time with this information, as it is required knowledge for all forex traders. Don’t even think about trading until you are comfortable with [pip](https://www.babypips.com/forexpedia/pip) values and calculating profit and loss. ## What the heck is a Pip? The unit of measurement to express the change in value between two currencies is called a “pip.” If EUR/USD moves from 1.1050 to 1.1051, that .0001 USD rise in value is ONE PIP. A pip is usually the last decimal place of a price quote. Most pairs go out to 4 decimal places, but there are some exceptions like Japanese yen pairs (they go out to two decimal places). For example, for EUR/USD, it is 0\.0001, and for USD/JPY, it is 0\.01. ![Pip](https://bpcdn.co/images/2011/03/20052419/pip-780x293.png) ## What is a Pipette? There are forex brokers that quote currency pairs beyond the standard “4 and 2” decimal places to “5 and 3” decimal places. They are quoting FRACTIONAL PIPS, also called “points” or “pipettes.” If the concept of a “pip” isn’t already confusing enough for the new forex trader, let’s try to make you even more confused and point out that a “point” or “pipette” or “fractional pip” is equal to a “tenth of a pip“. For instance, if GBP/USD moves from 1.30542 to 1.30543, that .00001 USD move higher is ONE PIPETTE. ![Pipette](https://bpcdn.co/images/2011/03/20052450/pipette-780x293.png) Here’s how fractional pips look like on a trading platform: ![Fractional Pip](https://bpcdn.co/images/2011/03/12230739/fractional-pip.jpg) On trading platforms, the digit representing a tenth of a pip usually appears to the right of the two larger digits. Here’s a pip “map” to help you learn how to read [pips](https://www.babypips.com/forexpedia/pip)…![pip cheat sheet](https://bpcdn.co/images/2011/03/15144610/pip-cheat-sheet-forex.png) ## How to Calculate the Value of a Pip As each currency has its own relative value, it’s necessary to calculate the value of a pip for that particular currency pair. In the following example, we will use a quote with 4 decimal places. For the purpose of better explaining the calculations, exchange rates will be expressed as a ratio (i.e., EUR/USD at 1.2500 will be written as “1 EUR / 1.2500 USD”) ### Example \#1: USD/CAD = 1.0200 To be read as 1 USD to 1.0200 CAD (or 1 USD/1.0200 CAD) (The value change in counter currency) times the exchange rate ratio = pip value (in terms of the base currency) \[.0001 CAD\] x \[1 USD/1.0200 CAD\] Or simply as: ``` [(.0001 CAD) / (1.0200 CAD)] x 1 USD = 0.00009804 USD per unit traded ``` Using this example, if we traded 10,000 units of USD/CAD, then a one-pip change to the exchange rate would be approximately a 0.98 USD change in the position value (10,000 units x 0.00009804 USD/unit). We say “approximately” because as the exchange rate changes, so does the value of each pip move. ### Example \#2: GBP/JPY = 123.00 Here’s another example using a currency pair with the Japanese Yen as the counter currency. Notice that this currency pair only goes to two decimal places to measure a 1 pip change in value (most of the other currencies have four decimal places). In this case, a one-pip move would be .01 JPY. (The value change in counter currency) times the exchange rate ratio = pip value (in terms of the base currency) \[.01 JPY\] x \[1 GBP/123.00 JPY\] Or simply as: ``` [(.01 JPY) / (123.00 JPY)] x 1 GBP = 0.0000813 GBP ``` So, when trading 10,000 units of GBP/JPY, each pip change in value is worth approximately 0.813 GBP. ## How to Find the Pip Value in Your Trading Account’s Currency The final question to ask when figuring out the pip value of your position is, “What is the pip value in terms of my trading account’s currency?” After all, it is a global market, and not everyone has their account denominated in the same currency. This means that the pip value will have to be translated to whatever currency our account may be traded in. This calculation is probably the easiest of all; simply multiply/divide the “found pip value” by the exchange rate of your account currency and the currency in question. If the “found pip value” currency is the same currency as the base currency in the exchange rate quote: Using the GBP/JPY example above, let’s convert the found pip value of .813 GBP to the pip value in USD by using GBP/USD at 1.5590 as our exchange rate ratio. If the currency you are converting to is the counter currency of the exchange rate, all you have to do is divide the “found pip value” by the corresponding exchange rate ratio: **.813 GBP per pip / (1 GBP/1.5590 USD) Or ``` [(.813 GBP) / (1 GBP)] x (1.5590 USD) = 1.2674 USD per pip move ``` So, for every .01 pip move in GBP/JPY, the value of a 10,000 unit position changes by approximately 1.27 USD. If the currency you are converting to is the base currency of the conversion exchange rate ratio, then multiply the “found pip value” by the conversion exchange rate ratio. Using our USD/CAD example above, we want to find the pip value of .98 USD in New Zealand Dollars. We’ll use .7900 as our conversion exchange rate ratio: 0\.98 USD per pip X (1 NZD/.7900 USD) Or ``` [(0.98 USD) / (.7900 USD)] x (1 NZD) = 1.2405 NZD per pip move ``` For every .0001 pip move in USD/CAD from the example above, your 10,000 unit position changes in value by approximately 1.24 NZD. Even though you’re now a math genius–at least with pip values–you’re probably rolling your eyes back and thinking, “Do I really need to work all this out?” Well, the answer is a big fat NO. Nearly all forex brokers will work all this out for you automatically, but it’s always good for you to know how they work it out. If your broker doesn’t happen to do this, don’t worry!

Readable Markdown	What’s a [pip](https://www.babypips.com/forexpedia/pip)? You’ve probably heard of the terms “pips,” “points“, “pipettes,” and “lots” thrown around, and now we’re going to explain what they are and show you how their values are calculated. Here is where we’re going to do a little math. Just a little bit. ![Learn About Pips in Forex](https://bpcdn.co/images/2011/03/18002717/learn-forex-and-pips-780x562.jpg) Take your time with this information, as it is required knowledge for all forex traders. Don’t even think about trading until you are comfortable with [pip](https://www.babypips.com/forexpedia/pip) values and calculating profit and loss. ## What the heck is a Pip? The unit of measurement to express the change in value between two currencies is called a “pip.” If EUR/USD moves from 1.1050 to 1.1051, that .0001 USD rise in value is ONE PIP. A pip is usually the last decimal place of a price quote. Most pairs go out to 4 decimal places, but there are some exceptions like Japanese yen pairs (they go out to two decimal places). For example, for EUR/USD, it is 0\.0001, and for USD/JPY, it is 0\.01. ![Pip](https://bpcdn.co/images/2011/03/20052419/pip-780x293.png) ## What is a Pipette? There are forex brokers that quote currency pairs beyond the standard “4 and 2” decimal places to “5 and 3” decimal places. They are quoting FRACTIONAL PIPS, also called “points” or “pipettes.” If the concept of a “pip” isn’t already confusing enough for the new forex trader, let’s try to make you even more confused and point out that a “point” or “pipette” or “fractional pip” is equal to a “tenth of a pip“. For instance, if GBP/USD moves from 1.30542 to 1.30543, that .00001 USD move higher is ONE PIPETTE. ![Pipette](https://bpcdn.co/images/2011/03/20052450/pipette-780x293.png) Here’s how fractional pips look like on a trading platform: ![Fractional Pip](https://bpcdn.co/images/2011/03/12230739/fractional-pip.jpg) On trading platforms, the digit representing a tenth of a pip usually appears to the right of the two larger digits. Here’s a pip “map” to help you learn how to read [pips](https://www.babypips.com/forexpedia/pip)…![pip cheat sheet](https://bpcdn.co/images/2011/03/15144610/pip-cheat-sheet-forex.png) ## How to Calculate the Value of a Pip As each currency has its own relative value, it’s necessary to calculate the value of a pip for that particular currency pair. In the following example, we will use a quote with 4 decimal places. For the purpose of better explaining the calculations, exchange rates will be expressed as a ratio (i.e., EUR/USD at 1.2500 will be written as “1 EUR / 1.2500 USD”) ### Example \#1: USD/CAD = 1.0200 To be read as 1 USD to 1.0200 CAD (or 1 USD/1.0200 CAD) (The value change in counter currency) times the exchange rate ratio = pip value (in terms of the base currency) \[.0001 CAD\] x \[1 USD/1.0200 CAD\] Or simply as: ``` [(.0001 CAD) / (1.0200 CAD)] x 1 USD = 0.00009804 USD per unit traded ``` Using this example, if we traded 10,000 units of USD/CAD, then a one-pip change to the exchange rate would be approximately a 0.98 USD change in the position value (10,000 units x 0.00009804 USD/unit). We say “approximately” because as the exchange rate changes, so does the value of each pip move. ### Example \#2: GBP/JPY = 123.00 Here’s another example using a currency pair with the Japanese Yen as the counter currency. Notice that this currency pair only goes to two decimal places to measure a 1 pip change in value (most of the other currencies have four decimal places). In this case, a one-pip move would be .01 JPY. (The value change in counter currency) times the exchange rate ratio = pip value (in terms of the base currency) \[.01 JPY\] x \[1 GBP/123.00 JPY\] Or simply as: ``` [(.01 JPY) / (123.00 JPY)] x 1 GBP = 0.0000813 GBP ``` So, when trading 10,000 units of GBP/JPY, each pip change in value is worth approximately 0.813 GBP. ## How to Find the Pip Value in Your Trading Account’s Currency The final question to ask when figuring out the pip value of your position is, “What is the pip value in terms of my trading account’s currency?” After all, it is a global market, and not everyone has their account denominated in the same currency. This means that the pip value will have to be translated to whatever currency our account may be traded in. This calculation is probably the easiest of all; simply multiply/divide the “found pip value” by the exchange rate of your account currency and the currency in question. If the “found pip value” currency is the same currency as the base currency in the exchange rate quote: Using the GBP/JPY example above, let’s convert the found pip value of .813 GBP to the pip value in USD by using GBP/USD at 1.5590 as our exchange rate ratio. If the currency you are converting to is the counter currency of the exchange rate, all you have to do is divide the “found pip value” by the corresponding exchange rate ratio: **.813 GBP per pip / (1 GBP/1.5590 USD) Or ``` [(.813 GBP) / (1 GBP)] x (1.5590 USD) = 1.2674 USD per pip move ``` So, for every .01 pip move in GBP/JPY, the value of a 10,000 unit position changes by approximately 1.27 USD. If the currency you are converting to is the base currency of the conversion exchange rate ratio, then multiply the “found pip value” by the conversion exchange rate ratio. Using our USD/CAD example above, we want to find the pip value of .98 USD in New Zealand Dollars. We’ll use .7900 as our conversion exchange rate ratio: 0\.98 USD per pip X (1 NZD/.7900 USD) Or ``` [(0.98 USD) / (.7900 USD)] x (1 NZD) = 1.2405 NZD per pip move ``` For every .0001 pip move in USD/CAD from the example above, your 10,000 unit position changes in value by approximately 1.24 NZD. Even though you’re now a math genius–at least with pip values–you’re probably rolling your eyes back and thinking, “Do I really need to work all this out?” Well, the answer is a big fat NO. Nearly all forex brokers will work all this out for you automatically, but it’s always good for you to know how they work it out. If your broker doesn’t happen to do this, don’t worry!
