RajTrader How are pips calculated in different currency pairs?

We will calculate how pips are determined for various currency pairs.(EUR/USD, USD/JPY, GBP/USD, etc.).

“What are Pips?”

↪️ Pips are the smallest price movement in the exchange rate of a currency pair in the foreign exchange (forex) market. A pip equals 0.0001 for most currency pairs or one-hundredth of one percent. This small unit of measurement helps traders precisely track price changes in forex trading.

For example:- if the exchange rate of the EUR/USD pair goes from 1.2000 to 1.2001, it has moved by one pip.

"Let's talk about pips for all the popular currency pairs.

Before discussing pips, it’s important to understand what a currency pair is.

:- A currency pair is a quotation of two different currencies, with the value of one currency being quoted against the other. The first currency in a currency pair is called the base currency, and the second currency is called the quote currency.

For example,

In the currency pair EUR/USD:

EUR (Euro) is the Base currency.
USD (US Dollar) is the Quote currency.

If the EUR/USD exchange rate is 1.2000, it means 1 Euro = 1.20 US Dollars.
