How USD/JPY pip value is calculated
On USD/JPY (the Gopher), one pip is a 0.01 move — the second decimal place of the USD/JPY rate. The dollar value of that pip depends only on your position size, converted to USD at the current JPY rate.
The formula: pip value = position size × pip size × (quote currency → USD). For one standard lot (100,000 USD) at today's rate of 161.672, that works out to about $6.19 per pip — $0.62 for a mini lot, and $0.06 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 $185.56 at risk. If that number is bigger than you expected, size down — not the other way around.
