How USD/CAD pip value is calculated
On USD/CAD (the Loonie), one pip is a 0.0001 move — the fourth decimal place of the USD/CAD rate. The dollar value of that pip depends only on your position size, converted to USD at the current CAD rate.
The formula: pip value = position size × pip size × (quote currency → USD). For one standard lot (100,000 USD) at today's rate of 1.41179, that works out to about $7.08 per pip — $0.71 for a mini lot, and $0.07 for a micro lot.
Knowing your pip value is the first step of risk management: a 30-pip stop-loss on one standard lot puts about $212.50 at risk. If that number is bigger than you expected, size down — not the other way around.
