If looking to invest in the Forex markets, it may be wise to learn the key concepts associated with pips and pip spreads. Here the article considers the value of pips for most of the world’s major currencies and the concept of pip spreads.

Who Much is a Pip Worth in Forex Trading?

When trading currencies in the Forex market, profits and losses are calculated based upon a system of “pips” which is the smallest measurable movement in the underlying value of a currency.

The word pip itself stands for percentage in points and for most currencies represents a movement of 1/100 of a cent or 0.0001. For instance if trading the GBPUSD pair a movement in price from 1.5000 to 1.5001 represents a movement of one pip. This may sound like a small amount however, when currencies are traded in standard lots (100,000) a movement of just one pip represents a £10 profit or loss.
