Pips and Lot Sizes for beginners

[sahara]

Pips are the smallest unit of price movement in forex trading. Most currency pairs are quoted to the fourth decimal place, where one pip represents a 0.0001 change in the exchange rate. Lot sizes determine the volume of a trade, with standard lots being 100,000 units of the base currency. However, there are also mini and micro lot sizes available for smaller trades.
