What is a pip in forex trading?
A pip (percentage in point) is the smallest standard price movement in a forex pair — typically the fourth decimal place (0.0001) for most pairs, or the second decimal place (0.01) for JPY pairs. On a standard lot (100,000 units) of EUR/USD, one pip is worth approximately $10.
How much money do you need to start forex trading?
You can start forex trading with as little as $5-$200 at most EU brokers, but a realistic starting capital for meaningful results is $500-$2,000. This lets you risk 1% per trade (a safe position size) without being forced into oversized losses by the broker's minimum lot size restrictions.
