What Is a Pip in Forex? How to Measure Price Moves and Calculate Pip Value
A pip is a standard unit used to measure how far a currency pair’s exchange rate has moved. For most pairs, one pip is 0.0001; for pairs quoted against the Japanese yen, it is usually 0.01.

The company name shown on a website or trading platform may differ from the legal entity responsible for your account.
