Frequently Asked Questions
What is a pip in forex trading?
A pip is the smallest price move in forex trading, typically the fourth decimal place for most currency pairs (0.0001). For EUR/USD, each pip movement equals $10 per standard lot.
How do lot sizes affect profit and loss?
Lot sizes directly multiply your potential profit or loss. A larger lot size means higher potential returns but also increased risk. Standard lot (1.0) = 100,000 units, Mini lot (0.1) = 10,000 units, Micro lot (0.01) = 1,000 units.
Can I use this calculator for other currency pairs?
This calculator is specifically designed for EUR/USD with a $10 pip value. Different currency pairs have different pip values based on their exchange rates and base currencies.
