How pip value is calculated

Pip value = pip value per standard lot × your lot size. The profit or loss of a trade is that number times the pips it moved, so a bigger lot makes every pip worth more.

EUR/USD example

0.10 lots × $10 per lot = $1 a pip. A 25-pip move is worth $25.

Gold (XAUUSD) example

0.10 lots × $10 per lot = $1 a pip. A $10 price move is 100 pips, worth $100.

Knowing the pip value tells you what a stop loss will cost before you take the trade. To choose the lot size from your balance and risk, use the lot size calculator. To check a whole signal, paste it into the signal checker, or read the pips and lots guide.

Pip questions

How do I calculate pip value?

Pip value = pip value per standard lot × your lot size. On EUR/USD one standard lot is worth $10 a pip, so 0.10 lots is worth $1 a pip and 0.01 lots is worth $0.10 a pip.

What is a pip on gold (XAUUSD)?

This calculator uses $0.10 per pip on gold, the unit most gold signals use, so one standard lot (100 oz) is worth $10 a pip. A gold move from 4,000 to 4,010 is 100 pips. If your broker counts gold in points ($0.01), divide its number by 10.

How much is 100 pips on gold?

100 pips on gold is a $10 price move. At 1.00 lot that is $1,000, at 0.10 lots it is $100, and at 0.01 lots it is $10.

What is the difference between a pip and a point?

On most forex pairs a pip is the fourth decimal (0.0001) and a point is one tenth of a pip (0.00001). MetaTrader often shows points, so a 200-point stop on EUR/USD is 20 pips.
