What are Pips in Trading
Pips in trading is the definition of the smallest price change a currency pair (and other financial instruments) can make, except for fractions of a pip or "pipettes".
For the majority of the currency pairs, 1 pip is 0.0001. For currency crosses with the Japanese Yen such as the EUR/JPY, 1 pip is 0.01. For metals, Silver and Gold 1 pip is 0.01.
As an example, when the GBP/USD moves up from 1.3935 to 1.3936, the change in price is 1 pip. With 5-digit brokers, if the GBP/USD moves up from 1.39355 to 1.39360, the change in price is half a pip (0.5 pip).
