FOREX Pip Value Calculator

What is a pip ?

A pip in Forex is the minimum price movement of a currency pair.


For example, in the JPYUSD it is 0.01 and in the GBPUSD it is 0.0001. A pip is then worth $10, $1 or $0.1, depending on the size of lots you trade:

 

Lot size Name Pip value
$100,000 standard $10
$10,000 mini $1
$1,000 micro $0.1

 

This is okay for cross rates that are against the US$ (US$ base currency), but what if your trading account is based in US$ and you wish to trade, for example, the GBPJPY? How do you know what a pip is worth in US$ when you are trading a cross rate that does not have its base currency in US$. That is where things get more complicated!

 

 

"Steve: I have been using MTP for 5 months now and I wish to thank you very much for sharing MTP. Your knowledge and communication skills are very much appreciated and the addition of the blog is really great.MTP amazes me almost everyday with the setups. I have focused only on the E minis with MTP and I could have not done this without your guidance in the trading course and from the online videos.  Really, many thanks for all you do. And again, I really appreciate what you have done by offering such a great program and most importantly offering yourself with videos and posts that continue to show your true dedication to help people like me learn. thanks very much."

I first came across Steve's trading methodology in 2001. As a former Series 3 registered broker, I researched and traded numerous systems and methodologies on behalf of clients - Steve's software and education package are the most refreshing and honest I have ever come across. His focus on risk control, integrated position sizing, and specific methods for identifying low risk entry points are unique to the industry and were a true eye opener for me. MTPredictor has completely transformed my personal trading. I have owned the software since the first version and heartily recommend MTPredictor to both experienced and new traders alike.
