How much is a pip worth on EUR/USD?
On EUR/USD, one pip is a move of 0.0001. For a standard lot (100,000 EUR), it is worth $10.00 on a dollar account.
Worked example
$10,000 account, 1% risk ($100). Long EUR/USD at 1.10000 with a stop at 1.09800, that is 20.0 pips. Each lot would lose $200.00 at the stop: 100 ÷ 200.00 = 0.50 lots, rounded down so you never exceed your risk.
Example prices are rounded to illustrate the maths: use live prices in the calculator.
