A pip, or percentage in point, is a unit of measurement used to track price movements in forex trading. For most currency pairs (such as EUR/USD), a single pip represents a movement in the fourth decimal place (0.0001, or one-hundredth of 1%). For Japanese Yen (JPY) pairs, a pip represents a movement in the second decimal place (0.01).
