Pip value is the monetary amount gained or lost per pip of price movement, based on position size and the trading pair. It determines how much a 20-pip stop loss actually costs in account currency. Pip value varies by pair and lot size. On EUR/USD with a standard lot (100,000 units), one pip equals approximately $10. On USD/JPY, pip value differs because the quote currency is JPY. Always calculate pip value before following a signal so your actual dollar risk matches your plan.
