Pip forex 4

How to calculate pip and tick value?

Both terms are similar and one or the other is usually used depending on the financial asset.

However, in the case brokers that offer currency pairs with 5 decimal places - 3 decimal places for JPY pairs -, as is the case of Darwinex, 1 pip is equivalent to 10 ticks.

Pip.

Pip is a measurement of trading movement in the forex market.

It is defined as the smallest movement which a currency can have - for pairs with 4 decimal places.

On the EUR/USD pair, for example, a movement of 1.00010 to 1.00020 would correspond to a pip, whereas on the USD/JPY, a pip would be equivalent to a movement of 120.010 to 120.020.

Tick.

We use the term tick for the minimum movement in the quote price for the rest of the markets, such as futures or CFDs.

However, provided that the currency pair has 5 decimal places, as is the case at Darwinex, the tick will be the smallest movement a currency can have.

On the EUR/USD pair, for example, a movement of 1.00001 to 1.00002 would correspond to a pip, whereas on the USD/JPY, a pip would be equivalent to a movement of 120.001 to 120.002.

In order to calculate the pip value, you need to know the entry and exit price at which the trade is carried out, as well as its volume.

Although there are different ways of calculating the value of a pip, the easiest and quickest way is remembering that 1 pip is always equivalent to:

0.01 lot => 0.1 monetary units of the listed currency 0.1 lot => 1 monetary unit of the listed currency 1 lot => 10 monetary units of the listed currency 10 lots => 100 monetary units of the listed currency.

For example, a pip on a trade of 0.1 lot would be equivalent to:

We use quote currency to refer to the second currency in the pair.

Do not worry if the quote currency is different from your account's base currency, because the system carries out the conversion automatically.

You can find an example below in the section ''Pip and Tick calculations''.

Calculating the Pip or Tick value at Darwinex.

An alternative to calculating the Pip or Tick value of a financial asset would be through this link, where you will access a table with all the assets which we currently offer at Darwinex (forex, indices, commodities and stocks).

Forex.

In the table of assets and spreads, you will be able to obtain the Pip value of all of the currency pairs available at Darwinex for 1 lot.

Indices, commodities and stocks.

You can obtain the tick value of all of the indices, commodities and stocks available at Darwinex for 1 contract.

On these tables you will see the value in the case of negotiating 1 lot or 1 contract.

For bigger or smaller sizes, you should calculate the proportional value, dividing or multiplying.

Pip and Tick calculations.

Once you know the Pip or Tick value of the financial asset, it will be very easy to calculate the result of a trade.

Example.

Imagine that you buy 1 lot of EURUSD at 1.20000, you place a Take Profit at 1.21000 and a Stop Loss at 1.19500.

Remember that 1 lot is equivalent to 100.000 of the base currency.

Due to the fact that at Darwinex we offer the quote price of the EUR/USD with 5 decimal places, the size of 1 pip will be 0.00010, or 10 ticks.

In order to work out its value, you will have to do the following calculations:

Multiply 100.000 x 0,00010 = 10 The previous result is expressed in the quote currency. Therefore, in this case a pip is worth 10 USD. For each movement of a pip in your favour on the EUR/USD, the trade profit will increase 10 USD, and for each movement of a pip against you on the EUR/USD, the profit will decrease by 10 USD. If the trade closes, for example, with 10 positive pips, you will have obtained a profit of 100 USD. If your account is denominated in USD, you will not have to do anything else. However, do not worry if your account is in another currency, because the MetaTrader platform will automatically carry out the conversion. For example, if your account's base currency is in euros and the spot price on the EUR/USD at that moment is 1.20000: $10 = 8,33€ (10/1,20000).

How much is the potential profit and/or loss of a trade, if the Take Profit or Stop Loss is executed, without taking into account the commissions?

Result.

The Take Profit is executed: 1.20000-1.210000 = 100 pips in profit.

The Pip value for a lot on the EURUSD is always 10 USD. 100 pips x 10 USD = 1000 USD profit.

The Stop Loss is executed: 1.20000 - 1.19500 = - 50 pips of loss.

- 50 pips x 10 USD = -500 USD of potential loss.

What Is Market Price?

The market price is the current price at which an asset or service can be bought or sold. The market price of an asset or service is determined by the forces of supply and demand. The price at which quantity supplied equals quantity demanded is the market price.

The market price is used to calculate consumer and economic surplus. Consumer surplus refers to the difference between the highest price a consumer is willing to pay for a good and the actual price they do pay for the good, or the market price. Economic surplus refers to two related quantities: consumer surplus and producer surplus. Producer surplus may also be referred to as profit: it is the amount that producers benefit by selling at the market price (provided that the market price is higher than the least that they would be willing to sell for). Economic surplus is the sum total of consumer surplus and producer surplus.

Key Takeaways.

The market price is the current price at which a good or service can be purchased or sold. The market price of an asset or service is determined by the forces of supply and demand; the price at which quantity supplied equals quantity demanded is the market price. In financial markets, the market price can change quickly as people change their bid or offer prices, or as sellers hit the bid or buyers hit the offer.

Understanding Market Price.

Understanding Market Price.

Shocks to either the supply or the demand for a good or service can cause the market price for a good or service to change. A supply shock is an unexpected event that suddenly changes the supply of a good or service. A demand shock is a sudden event that increases or decreases the demand for a good or service. Some examples of supply shock are interest rate cuts, tax cuts, government stimulus, terrorist attacks, natural disasters, and stock market crashes. Some examples of demand shock include a steep rise in oil and gas prices or other commodities, political turmoil, natural disasters, and breakthroughs in production technology.

In regards to securities trading, the market price is the most recent price at which a security was traded. The market price is the result of the interaction of traders, investors, and dealers in the stock market. In order for a trade to occur, there must be a buyer and a seller that meet at the same price. Bids are represented by buyers, and offers are represented by sellers. The bid is the higher price someone is advertising they will buy at, while the offer is the lowest price someone is advertising they will sell at. For a stock, this may be $50.51 and $50.52.

If the buyers no longer think that is a good price, they may drop their bid to $50.25. The sellers may agree or they may not. Someone may drop their offer to a lower price, or it may stay where it is. A trade only occurs if a seller interacts with the bid price, or a buyer interacts with the offer price. Bids and offers are constantly changing as the buyers and sellers change their minds about which price to buy or sell at. Also, as sellers sell to the bids, the price will drop, or as buyers buy from the offer, the price will rise.

The market price in the bond market is the last reported price excluding accrued interest; this is called the clean price.

Example of Market Price.

For example, assume that Bank of America Corp (BAC) has a $30 bid and a $30.01 offer. There are nine traders wanting to buy BAC stock; at this given time, this represents the demand for BAC stock. Five traders bid for 100 shares each at $30, three traders bid at $29.99, and one trader bids at $29.98. These orders are listed on the bid.

There are also nine traders wanting to sell BAC stock; at this given time, this represents the supply of BAC stock. Five traders sell 100 shares each at $30.01, three traders sell at $30.02, and one trader sells at $30.03. These orders are listed on offer.

Say a new trader comes in and wants to buy 800 shares at the market price. The market price, in this case, is all the prices and shares it will take to fill the order. This trader has to buy at the offer: 500 shares at $30.01, and 300 at $30.02. Now the spread widens, and the price is $30 by $30.03 because all the share offered at $30.01 and $30.02 have been bought. Since $30.02 was the last traded price, this is the market price.

Other traders may take action to close the spread. Since there are more buyers, the spread is closed by the bid adjusting upward. The result is a new price of $30.02 by $30.03, for example. This interaction is continually taking place in both directions, and is constantly adjusting the price.

Pip Value Calculator.

Use our Pip Value Calculator to accurately calculate the pip value for forex pairs, indices, crypto currencies, and more, using live market quotes, account base currency, lot size and traded pair.

What are pips in forex?

A pip in forex means the smallest price change a currency pair can make, except for fractions of a pip or 'pipettes'.

For most currency pairs 1 pip is 0.0001; for currency pairs with the Japanese Yen, such as USD/JPY, 1 pip is 0.01. When trading metals, 1 pip for Gold and Silver is 0.01.

When the EUR/USD moves up from 1.0925 to 1.0926, the change is 1 pip. With 5-digit pricing, if the EUR/USD moves up from 1.09255 to 1.09260, the move would be half a pip.

How to use this pip calculator.

Instrument: Traders can select from major forex crosses, minors, exotics, the most popular cryptocurrencies (such as ADA, BTC, ETH, LTC and XRP) and several commodities, including Gold, Silver and Oil. Let's choose for our example the EUR/USD.

Trade size: Forex pairs are 100,000 units per 1 lot, but u nits per 1 lot vary on non-forex pairs. In this field there's also the option of calculating the pip value based on the lots traded, or, the units traded. Let's choose, for our example, a trading size lot of 10,000 currency units (0.10 mini-lot).

Deposit currency: Pip values are different for each FX pair and for each cryptocurrency cross. Pip values are also subject to the current market/exchange quotes. Selecting an account currency in this field will enable an accurate calculation of the pip value, for the selected instrument, in a trader's account base currency (from AUD to ZAR). We choose EUR as our deposit currency.

Now, we hit the "Calculate" button.

The results: The pip calculator uses a market price live feed with the current interbank rate (in a 5-digit format) and it will display the current pip value based on the selected account base currency (in our example, the EUR).

So, the pip value for a 0.10 lot of EUR/USD, with a market rate of 1.21580, on a EUR trading account, is currently €0.8225.

Traders should note that for trading accounts in other base currencies, such as GBP or AUD, pip values can vary, depending on the current market rate for the GBP/USD, or AUD/USD, for example. The following conversion formula is applied to calculate the pip value in other currencies:

Pip Value = (One Pip / Exchange Rate) * Lot Size.

The result would be:

Pip Value = (0.0001 / 1.21580) * 10,000 = €0.8225.

How to Count Pips on Forex.

A pip is actually an acronym (price interest point or percentage in point). Overall, it’s important to know how to count pips on Forex so that you can see how much to trade and what you might earn for profit based on your account capital. Let’s learn more about it.

What Is One Pip Change in Forex?

A pip is the smallest unit price move the exchange rate could make, which is based on the Forex convention market. The leading currency pairs get priced out to four decimal places. Therefore, one pip is the last decimal place (fourth). In a sense, it’s equivalent to one percent, which is also called one basis point or 1/100.

The smallest unit move that the USD/CAD currency pair could make is one basis point or $0.0001.

Forex traders buy/sell currency with values expressed in relation to other currencies. Quotes often appear as bid/ask spreads. Therefore, one pip change in Forex is one percent . Look to the very last decimal place, which is the fourth number, to see the changes. For example, if you have 1.2345, one pip change would be 1.2346.

Forex Brokers We Recommend in Your Region.

How to Measure Pips in Forex.

You measure pips in Forex by watching the exchange rate’s movements. Most currency pairs use the four-decimal style, so a one percent change would be equal to one pip.

Since a pip is the smallest unit measurement for the difference between bid/ask spreads on a foreign exchange quote, the pip generally equals 0.0001.

How to Calculate Pips for Forex.

The value of the pip depends on many things, such as the trade value, exchange rate, and currency pair. If you fund the forex trading account with US money, but USD is the second (quote currency), the pip is a fixed rate of 0.0001. An example is this: EUR/USD.

In that case, the value of a pip is calculated when you multiply the trade value (lot size) by 0.0001. If your trade value was 10,000 euros, you would multiply that number by 0.0001, so the pip value is USD 1. Therefore, if you purchase 10,000 euros against the US dollar at 1.0701 and sold it at 1.0711, you would have a profit of $10 or 10 pips.

However, if the USD is the first number in the pair (base currency), the pip value will involve the exchange rate, such as USD/CAD. In this case, you must divide the pip size by that exchange rate, multiplying that number by your trade value.

Let’s say the exchange rate for USD/CAD was 1.2829, and you have a standard lot size (100,000). This means you would divide 0.0001 by 1.2829 and multiply the number by 100,000, giving you a $7.79 pip value. Therefore, if you purchase 100,000 USD against that Canadian dollar at a rate of 1.2829 and sold it at 1.2830, you would have a one-pip profit ($7.79).

You also have to consider that the Japanese Yen features two decimal points for pairs, so it’s a significant exception to that four-decimal rule. In these cases, the pip value is 1/100 and gets divided by that exchange rate. If EUR/JPY was quoted at 132.62, and you had a lot size of 100,000 euros, one pip would be $7.54. Divide 1/10 (one pip) by 132.62 to get 0.0000754, and multiply that by 100,000.

How to Count Pips in Forex.

You count pips in Forex by using the information above for calculations. However, you must first understand what a pip is for your account’s currency. This is a global market, so everyone could use different ones.

It’s a simple calculation to do. You simply find the “found pip value” and divide or multiply that by your account currency’s exchange rate and the questioned currency.

If you want to trade GBP/JPY and compare it to USD, you would note the found pip value of GBP to be 0.813 and the exchange rate ratio, which we will call 1.5590. You would divide .813 by 1.5590 to get a 1.2674 USD/pip move. That means for every 0.1 pip move of GBP/JPY currency, the value of your 10,000 unit will change by about 1.27 USD.

Example of Pip Value in Forex.

(0.0001/1.5000) x 10,000. This gives you an answer of 0.6666.

The above indicates that for every pip movement, the trade you make would lose or earn 0.6666 pounds.

If you trade spot Forex, the pip value is often defined by that quote currency (USD for the example above). Therefore, the calculation for pip value (one movement) for USD would be 10,000 multiplied by 0.0001, which equals one. That means for every pip movement, the trade would generate a loss or profit of $1.

Conclusion.

It’s often challenging to count pips in Forex, but it’s crucial for your strategies and plans. Most brokers do this for you, but you can also use online calculators to make it easy.

FAQs.

How Do You Calculate the Pip Value in Forex?

You need the currency pair, exchange rates, and lot size (trade value). If USD is the quote currency (second part), there’s a fixed pip (0.0001). Therefore, you multiply the trade value by 0.0001. However, if USD is the base currency, you must divide the pip size by that exchange rate, multiplying the number by your trade value.

How Do You Calculate the Number of Pips in Forex?

The first step is to find the pip value of the currency pair you’re trading. If you buy 10,000 euros against the US dollar at 1.0701 and had a pip value of $1, you would make a 10-pip profit if you sold at 1.0711.

How Do You Calculate Profit per Pip in Forex?

Simply divide the pip size by the pair’s exchange rate and multiply that by the trade value. For example, you buy 100,000 USD, and the Canadian dollar’s exchange rate is 1.2829. If you sell at 1.2830, you receive a one-pip profit.

How Do You Work out Pips in Forex?

To work out pips, you must calculate the pip value based on the base and quote currency.

"40% Return after 6 Months of Trading!"

I’m a Sales Associate working in a Fortune 500 company. I had zero knowledge and started exploring investing and trading in 2022. I signed up for a course by someone else and lost a lot of money especially when the ES dropped more than 100 points in Feb 2022. After that, I saw your YouTube videos and found them valuable. I decided to sign up for your course and give it one last shot rather than giving up.

The courses taught by you are a complete system and your support on verifying those setups gives us confidence. If one follows through all the rules, it is very possible to become a profitable trader. After attending your course, I had a return of 40% after 6 months of trading. Here’s a screenshot of 3 trades I took on the Impulse, BFS and TCE (took profit for all of them!). Many thanks for all the great teaching and guidance throughout my trading and investing journey.

"Consistently Profitable with 60% Win Rate… Zero Regrets!"

I’ve just started trading with Adam’s strategies since beginning of October, and I’ve found it extremely amazing!

Adam’s trading system/rules are so straightforward and easy to follow! Especially the TCE that I’ve been focusing on lately.

I only take high probability trades like he taught, and I’ve been consistently profitable for 3 months since the beginning and have a 60% win rate so far.

I’m very happy with the result and have zero regrets purchasing the course!

Jeff Koo Malaysia | December 2022.

"70% Win Rate with Return of 14.2R"

This month, I started a new account and decided to start afresh. I disciplined myself to take only high probability trades; to wait for such trades to come to me instead of forcing myself to trade every day. I only focused on Adam’s TCE strategy and took 13 trades. The win rate was 70% with return of 14.2R.

I also learned to control my emotions:

Don’t get excited when someone in the chat group alerts a possible trade. When others take a trade, it does not mean I must follow. Even if they end up with a winning trade, I will not regret as I did my own analysis and decided to skip the “not high probability” trade.

If I missed a good trade, I just tell myself there will be another good trade coming to me and I move on.

I turn off the chat group notification if I’ve decided not to take any more trades for the day.

Made +4R in My First Month of Forex Trading"

At the beginning, I was not sure how to start in the trading world. Then I saw Adam’s videos on YouTube and I was damn sure I would buy the Piranha Profits course. It’s not just the strategies but Adam’s teaching style that attracted my attention.

I completed my first month of Forex trading and had a total of 20 trades with 47% win rate, ending with +4R. I must admit the win rate could have been better if I had strictly followed the trading psychology (overcome revenge feeling, impatience, greed). With the right trading psychology I could have achieved 55-60% win rate.

I am really looking forward to doing more trades with the strategies and trading psychology I learnt and improving my win rate.

From Losing $25,000 to 77% Win Rate… This Is Possible!"

Before I took Adam’s course, I was getting a 46% win rate. I started trading with a $25,000 account and I had no idea what I was doing. I lost it all.

This is me this week with a 77% win rate on long trades. I wish I was able to trade like this before I lost so much capital. This is possible!

What Adam taught us in one of his lessons has stuck with me: “The market is not out to get you.” Don’t look for the miracle indicator.

We have been given every tool to be successful in this market by Adam. Now it’s our job to work hard to be disciplined and apply his wisdom. Happy trading!

+11R in One Month… At Last I’m Seeing Consistent Success!"

Since I enrolled for the Pip Netter™ Forex trading course, I started trading using Adam’s powerful TCE strategy on the M15, H1 charts. I’ve done a total of 44 trades with 21 losses and 23 wins, ending with +11R.

Prior to that, I’ve been trying unsuccessfully to trade Forex using all kinds of other strategies that I picked up from the internet. For almost half a year, I’d been making nett losses. After I took Adam’s course, I am at last seeing consistent success in my trading. All thanks to Adam for his mentorship and also the community of students analysing potential trades 24/7 in the live chat group.

I’m working to improve my analysis and selection of trade setups to ensure that I only pick the setups that pass the strict entry rules Adam taught us. I will work even harder to manage my trading discipline so that I do not overtrade.

My Trading (Skills) Has Grown 100-Fold… My Result for the Month is +7R!"

Adam’s the man! I’ve tried loads of strategies and his is by far the most reliable if you stick to the rules.

My result for the month is +7R so I’m dead chuffed (very pleased). Had a lot worse than that I can assure you. On the whole I feel my trading has grown 100-fold since I joined this course and chat group. My confidence is through the roof.

As a team we’re spotting, analysing and supporting each other. I’ve learnt a great deal on trading psychology this month. I’ve learnt not to pull the trigger until I’ve had a good look at the screen and at my fellow traders’ feedback.

Forex Pips – the smallest possible change.

Forex Trading Pips: Unit in Forex Trading.

If you are interested in trading and have already read some analysis or comments on TradersClub24, you will probably have already come across the term Pip or Pips. This is because a pip is a very common term in Forex trading. But what is a pip? In this article you will learn what is behind the meaning of the Pip and how useful such a concept is for Forex trading.

What are pips?

A pip is an incremental price movement with a certain value that depends on the market. Simply put, it is a standard unit for measuring the change in value of an exchange rate.

The abbreviation Pip either originally comes from the term Percentage-In-Point or it stands for Price Interest Point. Regardless of the origin of the term, currency traders can use pips to discuss the smallest changes in exchange rates in easy-to-understand terms.

What are Pips in Trading.

Originally, a pip was practically the smallest increment in which an FX price would move, although this original definition no longer applies to the advent of more precise pricing methods. Traditionally, FX prices have been quoted on a certain number of decimal places, most often to four decimal places. Originally, a pip here was a one-point movement on the specified last decimal place.

However, many brokers now enter Forex prices with an additional decimal place. This in turn means that a pip is often no longer the last decimal place within a citation. However, the pip remains a standardized value for all brokers and platforms. It allows professional traders to communicate clearly with the same terms.

How much is a pip worth?

For most currency pairs, a pip is a movement on the fourth decimal place. For example, if the EUR/USD rate moves from 1.1050 to 1.1051, this increase in value of .0001 USD is a pip. The most notable exceptions are the FX pairs in which the Japanese yen is involved. For pairs in which the JPY is involved, a pip is a movement on the second decimal place. Because each currency has its own relative value, the value of a pip must be calculated for that particular currency pair.

Special features of the Pip.

For 5-digit brokers, also known as brokers with broken prices, the last decimal point is 0.00001 or 0.001 for yen-based currencies, representing a fraction of a pip. Due to the additional digit, it is more difficult in this case to determine an exact pip spread or pip profit without the help of a calculator. However, this disadvantage of 5-digit brokers is outweighed by the greater advantage of typically better spreads, i.e. lower transaction costs, compared to their 4-digit broker counterparts.

If you’re interested in trading stocks, you may be wondering if there’s a pip in stock trading as well. No pips are used when trading shares, as there are already other terms such as “pence” and “cents” for notifying price changes.

Forex pip explained – What does it stand for?

Pip in Forex trading stands for the percentage in point. It is a measurement of the minimum price movement in the Forex trading market. Depending on the currency pair that you are trading, the Forex pip might be different. For example, for the majority of Forex currency pairs, pip is the fourth number after the decimal point – 0.0001, while for currency pairs involving JPY, it is the second number after the decimal point – 0.01.

The Forex pip is the smallest possible amount by which the price of a currency pair can change. The main idea behind the size of pip is to protect traders from losing huge amounts of money from small changes in the market. Imagine if the pip was 10 basis points instead of what it is, in this case, even the tiniest change in the market would cause greater volatility in the value of the currency.

But, this is not all. There is much more that you should know about pip in Forex trading. So, follow our comprehensive guide to Forex pip size and learn everything that there is to know.

Forex pips definition – Why is it important?

As we have already said, pip is the incremental price movement, or change, of a currency pair in Forex. If you have been wondering what does pip stand for in Forex, you should know that sometimes pip is defined as the percentage in point, while others define it as the price interest point. Understanding how pip works in Forex is vital for every trader.

The number of pips that you generate or lose while trading Forex, can be either very profitable for you, or destructive for your position. The price change in Forex trading is, in most cases, very incremental, which is why a pip is such a little amount. To make everything easier for you to understand, we will continue by discussing the Forex pip example.

So, let’s imagine that you are trading a very popular currency pair, EUR/USD. and the price of the currency pair is 1.2134. This means that for every EUR, you would be able to buy as 1.2134 USD. Let’s say that there is some type of movement in the market and the price of the currency increased by 2 pips. It means that EUR/USD is now selling at 1.2136.

On the other hand, if the price of the currency pair is down by 2 pips, it would be selling at 1.2132.

Although it might seem a very tiny change that can hardly have an influence on trading, it actually can be very influential. The thing is, when you are trading Forex, the usual position size goes up to hundreds of thousands of currency units. Even this slightest change in the Forex trading market can have a huge effect on your positions.

It is even more influential if you are using high leverage, which is very common in Forex trading. However, keep in mind that although leverage can increase your profits, it can also affect your losses.

Forex pip trading – why does it matter?

While trading Forex, the movement of currency pair price is what determines your profits. If you are buying EUR/USD currency pair, you will profit if the Euro increases in value, if you are selling it, you will profit if the Euro decreases. The changes in Forex currency prices are shown thanks to pips.

It is very important to understand what pip stands for in Forex because it is something that determines your profits. There are several ways you can calculate pips. Some people use the Forex pip chart to better understand how the pips can change. There also are different types of Forex pip indicators available for traders.

How to calculate pip in Forex?

Now that you understand the general idea behind Forex pip, it is time to learn how can it be calculated. In most cases, the Forex brokers are the ones who automatically calculate the value of the pip. But, if you know exactly how it works, it is a great idea to take a look at different ways it can be calculated.

One of the best ways to calculate pip on your own is to use the Forex pip formula, which is quite simple. If you want to calculate the Forex pip, you will be dividing the number of pips, which can be anywhere from 0.0001 or 0.01, by the exchange rate of the currency pair. Then, you will multiply it by the lot size, depending on which type of lot you are using.

The number you have received shows the price of the pip of the quote currency. The quote currency is the second one in the currency pair. A very interesting thing about pip in Forex is that in the case of USD, it always equals 10 dollars.

Some brokers also have a Forex pip value table, which is a great way of telling how much the pip is. It is a very helpful thing for traders because it offers very detailed information about the market conditions and the amount of pip that can be used by traders.

Understanding Forex pips and lots can be very helpful for every trader. As you might already know, in Forex, a lot stands for the sum of money you trade. The standard lot equals 100,000 units of a currency pair, a mini lot equals 10,000 units of a currency pair, a micro lot stands for 1,000 units of a currency pair, and so on.

To maximize their income, many people use leverage. Forex leverage pip increases the amount of money you can make while trading, but do not forget that it works very much like a double-edged sword. This means that although it can increase your profits, it also has the power to increase the risks of Forex trading.

Pip Forex trading – Different types of it.

In Forex trading, as you might already know, the value of a pip depends on several factors. This includes the currency pair you are trading. As we have already said earlier in this guide, for the majority of Forex currency pairs, the standard pip stands for the fourth number after the decimal point, which is 0.0001.

So, if you are trading EUR/USD, and it is selling at 1.2134, and it changes to 1.2135, it means that it has changed by 1 pip (1.2135-1.2134=1). If you read that the price of the currency pair went down from 1.2134 by 4 pips, it means that it is selling at 1.2130.

This method can be used to calculate most of the currency pair’s pips in Forex, however, there are others that work a little differently. Say the JPY pairs, for example. For these pairs, the pip stands for the second number after the decimal point, which is 0.01. You would calculate the changes in the same way, using the last number of the currency pair.

Forex pips explained – What are nano pips?

In Forex, there also is a special type of pip available, called nano pips. According to some experts, the nano pip tends to be more accurate than others. They are also sometimes referred to as a pipette. For the majority of pairs, nano pip, or pipette, is the fifth number after the decimal point. For JPY pairs, it is the third number after the decimal point. Let’s go back to our example of the EUR/USD currency pair.

Let’s say that your broker offers nano pips, and you see that the price of the currency pair was 1.21341 and it has changed to 1.21345. Using the same method that we have discussed earlier, you can tell that the price of the currency pair did not change in terms of pips, but when you look at pipettes, it has changed with 4 nano pips. It is a very tiny change, even smaller than a pip. It might not be as popular as the actual pip, but there are many brokers that offer it to traders.

Final thoughts on Forex pips definition.

Pip is a very important part of Forex trading. In Forex, pip stands for the Percentage in Point and can be calculated in several ways. For the majority of currency pairs, the pip is the fourth number after the decimal point, as for the JPY pairs, it is the second number after the decimal point.

You might also come across the so-called nano pips in Forex, which are also called pipettes. They are even smaller than pips, and represent the fifth number after the decimal point in most of the currency pairs, while for JPY pairs, it is the third number after the decimal point.

Although one pip is a very small change in the price of the currency pair, it can still play a huge role for every trader. Because of this, understanding the main idea behind this is a very important thing.

FAQs on Forex pip meaning.

What does one pip stand for in Forex?

Pip in Forex stands for the Percentage in Point and it is the smallest change in the currency pair price. For the majority of pairs, one pip is the fourth number after the decimal point, while for the JPY pairs, it is the second number after the decimal point. If you are trading EUR/USD pair, the price of which was 1.2132 and it has changed to 1.2134, it means that the price increased by 2 to pips. The same goes for JPY pairs, however, you will be looking at the second number after the decimal point instead of the fourth number.

What is pipette in Forex?

The pipette is a smaller version of the pip. As we have already said in our guide, unlike pip, the pipette, also referred to as the nano pip, stands for the fifth number after the decimal point. For JPY pairs, it is the third number after the decimal point. The pipette is calculated in a similar way as the pip.

How much is a pip worth in Forex?

In order to calculate the value of a pip, you need to multiply contract or lot size by one pip which is 0.001. Generally, the standard lots are worth 100,000 units, while mini lots can go up to 10,000 units. For instance, for USD/EUR a one pip is equal to 10 USD (0.0001 multiplied by 100,000 units).

Pip Calculator.

The pip value calculator helps you to calculate the value of each position in the currency you want to trade in. This information is very important in determining if a trade is worth the risk and in managing your risk more efficiently. All you have to do is enter your selected currency pair, your trade size, the currency your trading account is denominated in and click ‘Calculate’ to determine the value of each pip.

Usually, Forex pairs have a pip equal to 0,0001 (exception - Japanese pairs which have a pip equal to 0,01). Therefore, here pip value is calculated using the following formula: Pip / Market Price x Lot x Contract Size.

Pip (in Forex) - the second last digit after the decimal point Market Price - is the current price applicable to your position's direction for the purposes of closing it Lot - the MetaTrader volume of your position Contract Size - is the actual number of units of an asset in your position.

Heard Of The Amazing ’20 Pips Per Day’ Strategy?

Forex is the most liquid and volatile market in the world. The average pip movement in the major currency pairs is around 100 pips. However, as a retail trader, it is not impractical to grab 100 pips every single day. Though there are some strategies out there, it is very challenging to make 100 pips per day every day. But, there is 20 pips strategy, 30 pips strategy as well as 50 pips strategy, which is much reliable than the 100 pips strategy. So, in this lesson, we shall be discussing the 20 pips strategy.

The 20 Pips Strategy.

The strategy is very simple and straightforward. According to this strategy, when the price breaks above a range in a logical area, you must go long , and when it breaks below a range in a logical area, you must go short . So, this strategy is basically a breakout strategy . However, it’s not as straightforward as it sounds. There are some criteria one must consider before trading this strategy.

❁ Considerations.

✓ Currency Pair.

You can trade this strategy on any currency pair. However, it is recommended to focus mainly on major and minor currency pairs.

✓ Session.

Though the market is open 24 hours, it does not mean you can apply this strategy any time during the day. To keep it safe, it is advised to trade only during the times when there is high liquidity. That is, the London – New York overlap would be the best time to apply this strategy. Else, the London session or the New York session will work perfectly fine as well. And it is great if you do not trade it during the Asian session, as markets don’t usually break out during this period.

✓ Timeframe.

Timeframe plays an important role when it comes to trading a strategy of this type. To make 20 pips a day, it is ideal to stay between the 1hour timeframe and the 15-minute timeframe.

✓ Indicators.

This strategy does not require any technical indicators.

❁ How to trade the 20 pips strategy.

Below is a step by step process to trade this strategy.

Open the candlestick chart of any currency pair, preferably, a major or minor currency pair. Firstly, go to the 1-hour timeframe in the chart and see if the market is in a logical area to buy or sell (Ex: Support and resistance). If yes, then wait for the price to break above or below the consolidation area. Check the strength of the breakout on the lower timeframe (15 minutes). Based on the strength, prepare to hit the buy or sell.

❁ Trading the 20 pips strategy on the live charts.

• Buy example.

Below is the chart of AUDUSD on the 1-hour timeframe. We can see that the market has been bouncing off from the purple line. So, this becomes a logical area to buy. At present, the market is holding at the purple support line. And it was in a tiny range for like ten candles. Now, to apply the strategy, we need the market to break above this range.

In the below image, we can see that the market breaks above the range with a big green candle. But, before hitting the buy, we must switch to the lower timeframe and see if the momentum of the candle that broke the range was strong or not.

In the below 15 min chart, we can clearly see that the broke above the range in just two green candles. This is an indication that the buyers have come up strong. Hence, now we can prepare to go long.

Coming to the take profit and stop loss, the take profit would, of course, be 20 pips, and the stop loss can be kept a few pips below the support area. Alternatively, you can even go for a 1:1 RR by keeping a stop loss of pips.

• Sell example.

Note that this strategy can be applied when the market is in a trending state as well. Below is the chart of EUR/USD on the 1-hour timeframe, and we can see that the market is in a downtrend. The market keeps making lower lows and lower highs. At present, it can be seen that the market is pulling back, and a green candle has appeared. Now, all we need is the price to break below the pullback to give us a heads up that the downtrend is still active.

In the below chart, we can see that, in the very next candle, the market broke below the pullback area. Hence, we can prepare to go short after getting confirmation of the strength from the lower timeframe.

In the below 15-minute timeframe chart, we can see that the momentum of the candle was sufficiently robust during the breakout. Hence, we can consider shorting in now.

As far as the take profit and stop loss are concerned, it remains the same as the previous example. That is, 20 pips take profit with 20 pips stop loss.

Bottom line.

A great feature to consider about this strategy is that it can be used in any state of the market. However, all the criteria mentioned above must be met for the strategy to work. If you’re a beginner in trading, then this could be an ideal strategy to get started with. And if you have experience in trading, you can try enhancing the strategy by applying some indicators and patterns.

Note that this strategy, just like other strategies, does not provide 100% accuracy. There are times when this strategy fails, as well. Hence, it is recommended to use this strategy in conjunction with other strategies to have a better winning probability. Happy Trading!

Law of One Price: Definition, Example, Assumptions.

What Is the Law of One Price?

The law of one price is an economic concept that states that the price of an identical asset or commodity will have the same price globally, regardless of location, when certain factors are considered.

The law of one price takes into account a frictionless market, where there are no transaction costs, transportation costs, or legal restrictions, the currency exchange rates are the same, and that there is no price manipulation by buyers or sellers. The law of one price exists because differences between asset prices in different locations would eventually be eliminated due to the arbitrage opportunity.

The arbitrage opportunity would be achieved whereby a trader would purchase the asset in the market it is available at a lower price and then sell it in the market where it is available at a higher price. Over time, market equilibrium forces would align the prices of the asset.

Key Takeaways.

The law of one price states that in the absence of friction between global markets, the price for any asset will be the same. The law of one price is achieved by eliminating price differences through arbitrage opportunities between markets. Market equilibrium forces would eventually converge the price of the asset.

Understanding the Law of One Price.

The law of one price is the foundation of purchasing power parity. Purchasing power parity states that the value of two currencies is equal when a basket of identical goods is priced the same in both countries. It ensures that buyers have the same purchasing power across global markets.

In reality, purchasing power parity is difficult to achieve, due to various costs in trading and the inability to access markets for some individuals.

The formula for purchasing power parity is useful in that it can be applied to compare prices across markets that trade in different currencies. As exchange rates can shift frequently, the formula can be recalculated on a regular basis to identify mispricings across various international markets.

Example of the Law of One Price.

If the price of any economic good or security is inconsistent in two different free markets after considering the effects of currency exchange rates, then to earn a profit, an arbitrageur will purchase the asset in the cheaper market and sell it in the market where prices are higher. When the law of one price holds, arbitrage profits such as these will persist until the price converges across markets.

For example, if a particular security is available for $10 in Market A but is selling for the equivalent of $20 in Market B, investors could purchase the security in Market A and immediately sell it for $20 in Market B, netting a profit of $10 without any true risk or shifting of the markets.

As securities from Market A are sold on Market B, prices on both markets should change in accordance with the changes in supply and demand, all else equal. Increased demand for these securities in Market A, where it is relatively cheaper, should lead to an increase in its price there.

Conversely, increased supply in Market B, where the security is being sold for a profit by the arbitrageur, should lead to a decrease in its price there. Over time, this would lead to a balancing of the price of the security in the two markets, returning it to the state suggested by the law of one price.

Violations of the Law of One Price.

In the real world, the assumptions built into the law of one price frequently do not hold, and persistent differentials in prices for many kinds of goods and assets can be readily observed.

Transportation Costs.

When dealing in commodities, or any physical good, the cost to transport them must be included, resulting in different prices when commodities from two different locations are examined.

If the difference in transportation costs does not account for the difference in commodity prices between regions, it can be a sign of a shortage or excess within a particular region. This applies to any good that must be physically transported from one geographic location to another rather than just transferred in title from one owner to another. It also applies to wages for any employment where the worker must be physically present at the worksite to perform the job.

Transaction Costs.

Because transaction costs exist and can vary across different markets and geographic regions, prices for the same good can also vary between markets. Where transaction costs, such as the costs to find an appropriate trading counterparty or costs to negotiate and enforce a contract, are higher, the price for a good will tend to be higher there than in other markets with lower transaction costs.

Legal Restrictions.

Legal barriers to trade, such as tariffs, capital controls, or in the case of wages, immigration restrictions, can lead to persistent price differentials rather than one price. These will have a similar effect to transportation and transaction costs, and might even be thought of as a type of transaction cost. For example, if a country imposes a tariff on the importation of rubber, then domestic rubber prices will tend to be higher than the world price.

Market Structure.

Because the number of buyers and sellers (and the ability of buyers and sellers to enter the market) can vary between markets, market concentration and ability of buyers and sellers to set prices can vary as well.

A seller who enjoys a high degree of market power due to natural economies of scale in a given market might act like a monopoly price setter and charge a higher price. This can lead to different prices for the same good in different markets even for otherwise easily transportable goods.

What Is forex trading lot size and How to calculate it?

Forex trading lot size explain, by forex forum.

Finding the lot size that best balances opportunity and risk is a very important individual decision. Using a tool like a risk-management calculator can help you clarify your decisions about lot size, but you should do so by factoring in your own risk tolerance and your trading objectives.

The trading lot size directly impacts how much a market move affects your accounts. For example, a 100-pip move on a small trade will not be felt nearly as much as the same 100-pip move on very large trade size.

What is a lot?

Before you start asking yourself, what is lot size or even begin learning how to trade forex, you're going to need to know what a lot actually is. There are some key units of measurements that you must understand in order to trade forex successfully.

Firstly, a lot is a unit of measurement used to denote the amount of currency units bought or sold in a transaction. Whenever you place an order to trade a position, that order will be quoted in lot sizes.

Forex lot size chart – How many units?

Which brings us to what is a forex lot size – The standard lot size is 100,000 units of a currency but there are others. You may also find mini, micro, and nano lot sizes. A mini lot size is 10,000 units, a micro is 1,000 units, and finally a nano is 100 units. These will all be found in a broker provided lot size chart.

What is a lot in forex trading?

A lot in forex trading is a unit of measurement that standardises trade size. The change in the value of one currency compared to another is measured in pips, which are the fourth decimal place and therefore very tiny measures. This means trading a single unit isn't viable, so lots exist to enable people to trade these small movements in large batches.

The value of a lot is set by an exchange or a similar market regulator, which ensures everyone trades a set amount and knows how much of an asset they are trading when they open a position.

A Standard LOT in Forex Trading equals to 100.000 units of any given currency. For example, 1 Standard LOT of EUR/USD equals to €100.000.

Other lot sizes commonly used are:

*. Standard Lot (100,000 Units)

*. Mini LOT (also referred as 0.1 lot) - 10.000 units of any given currency.

*. Micro LOT (also referred as 0.01 lot) - 1.000 units of any given currency.

*. Nano LOT (also referred as 0.001 lot) - 100 units of any given currency.

There are four main types of lot sizes you will come across when trading in the forex market, namely: standard lot, mini lot, micro lot, and nano lot.

1. Standard Lot.

A standard lot corresponds to 100 000 units of the base currency in a quote of currency pairs. Put in other words, 100 000 units = 1 lot.

For example: Assume you want to buy a standard lot (100 000 units) of GBP/USD. The exchange rate is 1.24, meaning you will pay USD1.24 for one British pound. What will happen is that you will purchase £100 000 with $124 000.

2. Forex Mini Lot.

The next highest lot from a micro lot is the mini lot.

This was the original "smallest" lot before technology and derivatives took over the forex to bring more people to the markets easily.

The mini lot is 1/10th of a standard lot and has a value of 10,000 units.

This means you will have control over $10,000.

The pip value is around $1 on the EUR/USD, so every time the market goes up or down, you make or lose $1.

3. Micro Lot.

A micro lot is 1% of a standard lot (100 000 x 0.01) = 1 000 units of a base currency. Therefore, when you open a trade with a 0.01 lot, you will trade 1 micro lot.

Micro lots are the smallest tradable lot available to most brokers and are a good starting point for beginners.

4. Forex Nano Lot.

A nano lot is the name given to a trade size that is 1/1000th of a standard lot.

The value of a nano lot is 100 units, or $100, and is the lowest lot you can trade.

This is where most beginners start when selecting a recommended lot size because the lot value is very low.

In fact, the value of each pip is $0.01, so every up or down movement when trading with a nano lot, you are making (or losing) 1 cent a time.

Most traders set minimum and maximum lot volume for different types of accounts. The top limit is often at 100 lots; the bottom boundary is 0.01 lots. If we take the example above, the minimum investment will be $ 1.184. If you use the leverage 1:100, then a minimum deposit of $11.84 will be enough to start.

However, it will be relevant provided that 100% of the money (which is unacceptable from the point of view of risk management) will be invested in the position. There is a second option - to use cent accounts (if the broker offers cent accounts). The only difference of cent accounts is that the calculations are in cents, not in dollars, so $11.84, in this case, is enough to buy the minimum micro lot without using leverage.

Leverage – How it works.

You are probably wondering how can I trade with Lot sizes of 100,000 base units or even 1,000 base units. Well, the answer is very simple. This is available to you from the leverage you have in your account. So let's assume that your account's leverage is set at 100:1. This means that for every $1 used, you're actually trading $100 in the Forex market. In order for you to trade a position of $100,000 then the required margin to open such a position will be $1,000. As for any losses or gains these will be deducted or added to the remaining balance in your account.

How to calculate lot size in forex?

Forex lot size can be calculated using input values such as account balance, risk percentage, and stop loss. In the first step, the trader needs to define a risk percentage for trade and then define stop loss and a dollar per pip. A trader needs to determine lot size (number of units) for currency pair in the last step.

Determine the risk limit for each trade.

To calculate risk percentage for trade using account balance, traders can define risk in dollars per position trade.

Most traders consider specifying the dollar amount or percentage limit risked on each trade as the most crucial step in determining the forex position's size. Lot size forex calculation is simply because professional and experienced traders will usually risk a maximum of 1% of their account in trade; usually, the amount is lower. While the other trading variables may change depending on the trade, most traders will keep the percentage they risk on the trade constantly, though the amount risked for the trade may be reduced if it exceeds the 1 percent limit.

On the other hand, If your Forex Broker Margin Call level is set at 100% this means that when the Margin Level reaches this percentage it will notify you to add more funds. As you can understand from the example above, the P/L, and your Margin will affect your Margin Level. Now, if your Broker sets the Stop Out Level at 50% this means that your position will be closed by the Broker when the Margin Level reaches that level.

Here are the perfect calculation of forex lot size:

You can create a ratio to determine what portion of your margin you should use to limit your max loss to 1% for an entry at that price.

Max Loss for trade = ((pip * 30)/price) * orderSize.

Max Loss for Portfolio = 0.01 * margin.

# We can set those equal to restrict our Max Loss for a trade to be at most 1% of our portfolio margin.

((pip * 30)/price) * orderSize = 0.01 * margin.

# This implies that.

orderSize = (0.01 * margin * price) / (30 * pip)

Example of lot size calculation in Forex.

Lot = contract size * trade volume * asset price.

Example 1. The contract size for a stock is 1; 1 lot is 1 stock. The stock price is 54 USD. 1 lot is 54 USD.

Example 2. The contract size for the EURUSD currency pair is 100,000; the price is 1.23456. Lot value = 1.23456 * 100,000 = $ 123,456.

PIP Value per Lot Size Formula.

*. The first part of the formula is doing a simple currency conversion, we are dividing our PIP value according to the pair we trade (0.0001 or 0.01) by the current exchange rate, that way we know how much is that PIP worth in terms of the currency we are trading.

*. The second part is multiplying that result by the LOT size we are trading (100.000, 10.000, 1.000, 100) to understand the impact of that previous number we determined in the total amount of currency units we are trading with.

How much is 0.01 lot size in dollars.

0.01 is a micro lot in forex which is 1,000 units of currency.

So 0.01 lot size would be around $1,000.

The value of the pip for a micro-lot is roughly $0.10 based on the EUR/USD.

This is usually the value most beginner traders start with. It is enough for you to risk some capital, but not enough for you to panic when the market goes against you.

The principles behind lots trading and pips calculation.

In Forex trading, a standard Lot refers to a standard size of a specific financial instrument. It is one of the prerequisites to get familiar with for Forex starters.

Standard Lots.

This is the standard size of one Lot which is 100,000 units. Units referred to the base currency being traded. When someone trades EUR/USD, the base currency is the EUR and therefore, 1 Lot or 100,000 units worth 100,000 EURs.

Mini Lots.

Now, let’s use smaller sizes. Traders use Mini Lots when they wish to trade smaller sizes. For example, a trader may wish to trade only 10,000 units. So when a trader places a trade of 0.10 Lots or 10,000 base units on GBP/USD, this means that he trades 10,000 British Pounds.

Micro Lots.

There are many beginners or small investors who wish to use the smallest possible Lots sizes. In contrary to the Mini Lots that refer to 10,000 units, traders are welcome to trade 1,000 units or 0.01. For example, when someone trades USD/CHF with a Micro Lot the trader basically trades 1,000 USDs.

Pip Value.

Now that we understand what Lots are, let’s take one step further. We need to calculate the Pip Value so we can estimate our profits or losses from our trading.

The simplest way to calculate the Pip Value is to first use the Standard Lots. You will then have to adjust your calculations so you can find the Pip Value on Mini Lots, Micro Lots or any other Lot size you wish to trade.

USD Base Currency.

Our calculations in this sector are when your Base currency is the USD. We will provide three different examples.

USD quote currency of the currency pair. You’re trading 1 standard Lot (100,000 base units) that the quote currency is the USD such as EUR/USD. The Pip Value is calculated as below:

100,000*0.0001 (4th decimal)=$10.

USD base currency of the currency pair. You’re trading 1 standard Lot (100,000 base units) and the base currency is the USD such as USD/JPY. The Pip Value is calculated as below:

The USD/JPY is traded at 99.735 means that $1=99.73 JPY 100,000*0.01 (the 2nd decimal) /99.735≈$10.03. We approximated because the exchange rate changes, so does the value of each pip.

Finding the Pip Value in a currency pair that the USD is not traded. You’re trading 1 standard Lot (100,000 base units) on GBP/JPY.

The GBP/JPY is traded at 153.320. Because the value changes in the quote currency times the exchange rate ratio as.

The Pip Value => 100,000*0.01JPY*1GBP/153.320JPY = 6.5 GBP.

Because the base currency of the account is the USD then we need to take into account the GBP/USD rate which let’s assume that is currently at 1.53560.

6.5 GBP/(1 GBP/1.53560 USD)= $9.98.

EUR Base Currency.

Now let’s make our examples when the Base Currency of our account is the EUR.

EUR base currency of the currency pair. You’re trading 1 standard Lot (100,000 base units) on EUR/USD. The Pip Value is calculated as below.

The EUR/USD is traded at 1.30610 means that 1 EUR=$1.30 USD so.

100,000*0.0001 (4th decimal)/1.30610 ≈7.66 EUR.

Finding the Pip Value in a currency pair that the EUR is not traded. You’re trading 1 standard Lot (100,000 base units) on GBP/JPY. From our example before, we know that the value is 6.5 GBP. Now, we need to take into account the EUR/GBP rate in order to calculate the Pip Value. Let’s assume that the rate is currently at 0.85000. So:

6.5GBP/(1GBP*0.85 EUR)= (6.5 GBP/1 GBP)/0.85 EUR≈7.65 EUR.

Leverage – How it works.

You are probably wondering how can I trade with Lot sizes of 100,000 base units or even 1,000 base units. Well, the answer is very simple. This is available to you from the leverage you have in your account. So let’s assume that your account’s leverage is set at 100:1. This means that for every $1 used, you’re actually trading $100 in the Forex market. In order for you to trade a position of $100,000 then the required margin to open such a position will be $1,000. As for any losses or gains these will be deducted or added to the remaining balance in your account.

If your account’s leverage is set at 200:1 this means that for every $1 you use you’re actually trading $200. So for a trade of $100,000 you will require a margin to be at $500.

Margin Call – What you should know.

Now looking at the examples above regarding the leverage you’re probably thinking that is the best to work with the highest possible leverage. However, you need to take into consideration your Margin requirements as well as the risks associated with higher leverages.

Let’s just say that you have deposited first $5,000 to your trading account that the leverage is set at 100:1. Your nominated currency is the USD. The first time you will login to your MT4 trading account you will notice that the Balance and the Equity is $5,000 and this is due to the fact that you did not place any trades yet.

Now, you have decided to open a position on the USD/CHF of the 1 standard Lot which means that you will require use a margin of $1,000. The floating P/L is at -9.55. The account will show the following.

Balance Equity Margin Free Margin Margin Level 5,000 4,990.45 (5,000-9.55) 1,000 3,990.45 (4,990.45-1000) 499.05% (4990.45/1000)*100.

If your Forex Broker Margin Call level is set at 100% this means that when the Margin Level reaches this percentage it will notify you to add more funds. As you can understand from the example above, the P/L, and your Margin will affect your Margin Level. Now, if your Broker sets the Stop Out Level at 50% this means that your position will be closed by the Broker when the Margin Level reaches that level.

Let’s use another example when your leverage is set at 200:1. We will use the same example above to understand how the leverage will affect your Margin Level. Your account will show the following.

Balance Equity Margin Free Margin Margin Level 5,000 4,990.45 500 4,490.45 998.10%

By looking at the numbers above, you will prefer to use a higher leverage for your account. However, let’s assume that the market goes against you and you have bought 9 Lots of USD/CHF but the pair falls. When you open your position you will have the following numbers:

Balance Equity Margin Free Margin Margin Level 5,000 4,990.45 4,500 (900,000/200) 490.45 110.90%

As we explained above, the broker will give you a Margin Call when you have 100% margin level. This means that you will receive a Margin Call when the USD/CHF falls 5 pips only. On the other hand, if you had a Leverage set at 100:1 the would not allow you to enter into such a position from the first place and you would have saved your equity.

What Is Competitive Pricing?

Competitive pricing is the process of selecting strategic price points to best take advantage of a product or service based market relative to competition. This pricing method is used more often by businesses selling similar products since services can vary from business to business, while the attributes of a product remain similar. This type of pricing strategy is generally used once a price for a product or service has reached a level of equilibrium, which occurs when a product has been on the market for a long time and there are many substitutes for the product.

Key Takeaways.

Competitive pricing is the process of selecting strategic price points to best take advantage of a product or service based market relative to competition. Competitive pricing is used more by businesses selling similar products, since services can vary from business to business, while the attributes of a product remain similar. Competitive pricing is generally used once a price for a product or service has reached a level of equilibrium.

Competitive Pricing.

Understanding Competitive Pricing.

Businesses have three options when setting the price for a good or service: set it below the competition, at the competition, or above the competition.

Above the competition pricing requires the business to create an environment that warrants the premium, such as generous payment terms or extra features. Rather than compete on price, the business must compete on quality if it hopes to charge a premium price.

A business may set the price below the market and potentially take a loss if the business believes that the customer will purchase additional products from their business once the customer is exposed to the other offerings. The profitability of the other products can then subsidize the economic loss incurred on the below-market priced product. This is also known as a loss leader strategy.

Lastly, a business can choose to charge the same price as its competitors or take the prevailing market price as given. Despite selling an equivalent product at an equivalent price, the business may still attempt to differentiate itself through marketing.

Premium Pricing.

For a business to charge an amount above that of the competition, the business must differentiate the product from those created by competitors. For example, Apple employs the strategy of focusing on the creation of high-end products and ensuring the consumer market sees its products as unique or innovative. This strategy requires not only improving the product or service itself, but making sure customers are aware of the differences that justify the premium pricing, through marketing and branding.

Loss Leaders.

A loss leader is a good or service being offered at a notable discount, at times resulting in a loss if the products are sold below cost. The technique looks to increase traffic to the business based on the low price of the aforementioned product. Once the potential customer enters the store environment, shifting to the role of customer once the decision to purchase the loss leader is made, the hope is to attract them to other store products that generate a profit. Not only can this attract new customers to a store, but it can also help a business move inventory that has become stagnant.

At times, loss leader prices cannot be officially published as a minimum advertised price has been set by the manufacturer. The practice is also forbidden in certain states.

Competitive Pricing and Price Matching Offers.

When a company is unable to anticipate competitor price changes or is not equipped to make corresponding changes in a timely fashion, a retailer may offer to match advertised competitor prices. This allows the retailer to maintain a competitive price point for those who become aware of the competitor's offer without having to officially change the price within the retailer’s point of sale system.

For example, in November 2014, Amazon projected price changes to approximately 80 million items in preparation for the holiday season. Other retailers, including Walmart and Best Buy, announced a price-matching program. This allowed customers of Walmart or Best Buy to receive a product at the lower price without risking customers taking their business to Amazon solely for pricing reasons.
