Understanding pip value
A pip is the standardised price increment used in FX education. Pip value answers a practical question: if price moves one pip against you, how much account currency do you lose per lot? The calculator uses pip size × contract size × lots × quote-to-account rate. For EURUSD on a USD account with a 100,000 unit contract, a 0.0001 pip and 1.00 lot typically yields about $10. Feed that pip value into the position size calculator to keep stop risk aligned with your budget.
Always verify tick size and contract multipliers with your broker — especially on metals, crypto CFDs and indices. Explore live context on EURUSD or glossary terms in the library. Educational use only; not investment advice.
