Pips

In forex trading, the change in the value of a currency pair is measured by a standardised unit called a “pip”. A pip is the smallest unit price move that a currency pair can make, and refers to the fourth decimal place.

The Japanese yen is an exception, as its exchange rate sits at two decimal places.
