FOREX trading pips are an important part of currency trading that any trader must grasp. Brokers usually interpret pips into dollars and cents for you, or into the currency that your account is held in, if it isn’t US dollars. However , when comparing 2 trades with different position sizes it’s the profit or loss in pips that tells you more than the profit in greenbacks. PIP stands for percentage in point. It is employed as a measure of change in cost. The pip is the smallest part of the measured price of a quoted currency. In this case one pip is 0.0001 units of the quote currency. So if that price changes to 1.2316, the price has increased by one pip.

The Japanese yen is the only one of the major currencies that is low enough in value to be normally quoted to 2 decimal places. So when the yen is the quote currency, one pip is 0.01 yen.
