When you put this question on google different entries appear. I do not understand why he does not.
This concept is so basic 😡

I agree with you. There are thousands of concepts alike and in different ways that you could look for and have some information.

A 'PIP' represents one percentage point. Simpler still, it is what in the Forex world we consider a 'point' for the calculation of gains and losses.

A pip in forex stands for point in percentage. It represents the change in value between two currencies. It is usually a last decimal place of price of currency. For example – if EUR/USD moves from 1.2256 to 1.2257 then this 0.0001 pip rise in value of the currency pair represents a pip.

Well, the unit of measurement to express the change in value between two trading currencies is called a pip! Actually, in my live trading I measure my success and failure ratios by pips calculation! Like, right now my daily trading target is 60 pips and my monthly trading target is 1300+ pips!
