What is pip?


What is a pip? Please give me an example!

Forex for beginners



Pip in Forex is the smallest price change in currency exchange rate.
Fore example, a current rate for EUR/USD = 1.4000.

If we add 1 pip to the rate, it'll look next way:
EUR/USD = 1.4001
The last decimal place in the rate is the smallest change of the value of the EUR/USD pair.

When currency pair rate increases, for example, by 5 pips, it means the value of that pair (EUR/USD in our example) will look next way:
EUR/USD = 1.4000 + 0.0005 = 1.4005
