Every beginner who wants to understand the intricacies of trading on the currency market must know what a Pip on Forex is, as this concept is mentioned in the Forex literature quite often.
For currency pairs, a pip or point forex is usually one decimal American dollar. Also, 1 pip can be equated to one basis point or a hundredth of a percent.
A unit of one pip at Forex is a small indicator in the change of one or another currency pair.
So, if you still ask yourself a question: how much is one pip, then you need to understand once and for all that this is the minimum price change of a currency pair or another asset in the Forex market.

When there is a change in price, we just say one pip change. Maybe this will help you - https://www.babypips.com/learn/forex/pips-and-pipettes

A pip, short for point in percentage, represents a tiny measure of the change in a currency pair in the forex market. A pip is the smallest fraction that a currency pair can move. Suppose, the eurusd is at 1.09457, then a one pip advance will make it 1.09458

Great to hear that you are also new in Forex trading and are learning Forex. Thanks to giving me such a informative answer of my question. I have clear idea of what is pip actually.

PIP which stands for “point in percentage” is the smallest difference in the change in the price of two currencies. It is basically a unit of measurement to define the smallest change in the value between two currencies. It is the measurement of currency movement. It is also used for ascertaining loss & gains.
For example- if the price of EURUSD moves from 1.1402 to 1.1403 this would be one pip.

A pip is the smallest amount by which a currency quote can change.

The point in percentage (PIP) is a standardized unit and it is more commonly referred to as 1/100th of 1%, or one basis point.

PIP is the price interest point and it determines the price move in the exchange rate. It is good for traders for analysis the price move in order to alter their trade strategy.

Pip is an acronym for 'percentage in point' or 'price interest point.' A pip is the smallest price move that an exchange rate can make based on forex market convention. Most currency pairs are priced out to four decimal places and the pip change is the last (fourth) decimal point.

I think trading is not about increasing your daily pips. It is about being disciplined with your trading. You have to create some rules for your trading like risk reward ratio. I personally follow 1:2 risk reward ratio. It means i risk 10 pips against 20 pips profit.

As many have mentioned the definition has been given already but I would suggest for help with these sorts of fundamental questions going through something like the BabyPips school as all this jargon and much more is in there and it's free.

Pip is an acronym for 'percentage in point' or 'price interest point.' A pip is the smallest price move that an exchange rate can make based on forex market convention. Most currency pairs are priced out to four decimal places and the pip change is the last (fourth) decimal point. A pip is thus equivalent to 1/100 of 1% or one basis point. For example, the smallest move the USD/CAD currency pair can make is $0.0001 or one basis point. I believe that it's very important to understand all the terms in trading because it clarifies you many aspects in this activity, even the most complicated ones.
