📈  Trading Tips: Pips & Leverage – The Keys to Forex Success

If you’re serious about Forex trading, you need to understand pips, lot sizes, and leverage—these are the building blocks of your profit (or loss). Let’s break it down:

What’s a Pip?

A pip (percentage in point) is the smallest price movement in Forex. For most currency pairs, 1 pip = 0.0001 (except for pairs like USD/JPY, where it's 0.01).

Example: If EUR/USD moves from 1.1000 to 1.1005, that’s a 5 pip move.

How Pips Impact Your Trades

• Going Long (Buying): If you buy GBP/USD at 2.0400 and the price rises to 2.0450, you gain 50 pips. If it drops to 2.0350, you lose 50 pips.

• Going Short (Selling): If you sell at 2.0400 and it drops to 2.0350, you gain 50 pips. If it rises to 2.0450, you lose 50 pips.

Pip Value Depends on Lot Size

Forex trading works in lots, not individual units:
✔ Standard Lot = 100,000 units (1 pip ≈ $10)
✔ Mini Lot = 10,000 units (1 pip ≈ $1)
✔ Micro Lot = 1,000 units (1 pip ≈ $0.10)

Leverage: Magnifying Gains & Risks

Leverage lets you control larger positions with a small deposit. Here’s how it works:
✔ 100:1 Leverage: Trade $10,000 with just $100 in your account.
✔ 400:1 Leverage: Trade $40,000 with $100.

 Warning: While leverage amplifies profits, it also magnifies losses. Always use stop-loss orders and proper risk management!

💡Pro Trading Tip : Before trading big, practice with smaller lot sizes to master pip movements.
