dPIP: the definition of the pip based on the pair XXX/YYY For example, if you took out a contract for 100,000 EUR/CHF and you won 60 pips, you have therefore won: 60 * 100,000 * 0.0001 = CHF 600. If you want the result in EUR, it is necessary to multiply this amount by the unitary CHF/EUR rate. Although knowing the actual value of a pip in the U.S. dollars is trivial for such currency pairs as EUR/USD, GBP/USD, it is quite hard to tell the pip value for these currency pairs if your account is denominated in other currencies, or for any other pairs, which have a base currency other than your account is. 1 lot = $10 per pip if you are using USD and trading xxxUSD. so for EURUSD, GBPUSD, AUDUSD, NZDUSD this would be true. But USDCHF would be $8.84 at the moment. Pip value varies significantly between $6 to $15 for the major currencies. It depends on the value of the currency at the time.
