How SL and TP prices are derived
A pip is the smallest standard price move — 0.0001 on most pairs, 0.01 on JPY pairs. Multiply your pip distance by the pip size and add or subtract it from your entry depending on direction. A target set by ratio simply scales the stop distance.
Pip size by pair type
| Pair type | Example | Pip size | 1 pip on a 20-pip stop |
|---|---|---|---|
| Major / minor (non-JPY) | EUR/USD, GBP/AUD | 0.0001 | 0.0020 from entry |
| JPY quote | USD/JPY, EUR/JPY | 0.01 | 0.20 from entry |
| Cross with JPY base | JPY/... (rare) | 0.0001 | 0.0020 from entry |
