Pip Value
At Trader’s Way, Prime Online Forex and CFD broker, we provide our clients with state of the art trading terminals along with some of the most competitive trading conditions in the market. As part of our ongoing series, here’s a brief recap on pip value and how to calculate it. Traders can calculate their P/L changes by using the following formula to calculate the value of one pip: Pip Value = Position Volume x Counter Currency 1 pip
This gives you the value of one pip, in terms of the counter currency.
Example: Position 1 lot of EURUSD. Pip Value = 100,000 x 0.0001 = 10 USD
And traders should also be able to work out the pip value in terms of their account currency.
Pip Value in Account Currency = Pip Value / Account Currency-Counter Currency Rate
Example: Position 1 lot of EURJPY. Account Currency - USD. USDJPY = 80.00. Pip Value = 100,000 x 0.01 = 1,000 JPY. Pip Value in USD = 1,000 / 80.00 = 12.5 USD
