Forex Scalping

USD/CAD was my friend today!

Made a quick pips long after the news announcement and another 20 pips on the way back down.   Overall I found USD/CAD to be the best pair today.

What is a PIP?

PIP stands for Percentage In Point. It is equal to 1/100 of 1 percent, .0001.

In Forex, currency prices are typically quoted to the fourth decimal.   For example, if the USD/CAD currency pair moves from 1.0510 to 1.0520 it has moved by 10 pips.  If the USD/CAD Currency pair increases by 1 full cent in value (from 1.0510 to 1.0610), it has increased by 100 pips.

Depending on your leverage and lot size, 1 pip can mean alot of profit.   With smaller lot sizes it’s typically $1 per pip, just multiply the lot sizes and pretty soon your pips become pretty exciting.
