Frequently asked questions

How much is one pip worth on USDCHF?

One pip on USD/CHF is a 0.0001 price move. With 100,000 units per lot that is $12.00 per standard lot for a USD account, €10.72 for a EUR account and £9.04 for a GBP account.

What lot size should I use on USDCHF?

Size the trade from the amount you are willing to lose and your stop: lots = risk ÷ (stop in pips × pip value per lot). Risking $100 with a 20-pip stop gives 0.41 lots for a USD account.

How much margin do I need for 1 lot of USDCHF?

At a price of 0.83341, one lot is $100,000 of exposure. That needs $3,333.33 at 30:1, the maximum leverage for EU and UK retail clients on this asset, or $1,000.00 at 100:1.

Is the pip value the same at every broker?

For currency pairs the contract size is almost always 100,000 units, so the pip value only changes with your account currency and the exchange rate. Check your broker's specification if it offers non-standard lots.
