Before you begin trying to trade the Forex, you should be familiar with the main terminology and ideas used in this market.
Pip
Pip stands for “percentage in point”. This is the basic unit of price in the Forex market. This is similar to stocks, for example, which use dollars and cents to as the base numbers. Pips can refer to the number of ticks or units a currency pair has moved. For example, adopt you are trading the EUR/USD (the Euro Dollar and US Dollar) pairing. If the price has moved up from 1.5480 to 1.5485, that is a 5 pip movement.
