// Frequently Asked Questions (Forex Pip & Margin)
What is a pip in Forex trading?
A pip (percentage in point) is the smallest unit price change in currency trading. For non-JPY currency pairs, 1 pip = 0.0001; for JPY pairs, 1 pip = 0.01.
How is margin calculated in Forex trading?
Margin Required = (Trade Size in Units × Exchange Price) / Leverage. For 1 standard lot (100,000 units) of EUR/USD at 1.1000 with 1:100 leverage, required margin is $1,100.
Why is a conversion rate input field required?
To ensure this financial calculator operates 100% client-side and offline without external API dependencies, you can specify exchange conversion rates manually for currency pairs where quote currency differs from your account currency.
