Frequently Asked Questions

What is a pip in forex?

A pip is the smallest standard price move in a currency pair. For most pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/USD) it's 0.0001 — the 4th decimal place. For JPY pairs it's 0.01 (2nd decimal). For Gold (XAU/USD), 1 pip = $0.01 per ounce.

Why is XAU/USD pip value different from forex pairs?

Gold is traded per troy ounce. 1 standard lot = 100 oz. 1 pip = $0.01/oz × 100oz = $1.00 per lot. EUR/USD is $10/lot. This 10× difference is why gold positions need careful sizing — the same number of lots risks far less per pip.

How do I convert pip value to Thai Baht (THB)?

Select THB as your account currency in the calculator above. The result uses an approximate rate of ฿35.8/$. For EUR/USD 1 standard lot: $10/pip × 35.8 = ฿358/pip. Always verify the live rate with your broker for exact calculations.
