How it works

How much is a pip on gold?

There's no single official "pip" on gold, which is why people get confused. Most traders and most UK platforms treat 1 pip = $0.10.

Lot size Per $0.01 move Per pip ($0.10) Per $1.00 move
0.01 $0.01 $0.10 $1
0.10 $0.10 $1 $10
1.00 $1 $10 $100

These assume the standard 100 oz contract. If your platform counts a pip as $0.01, the "per pip" column is 10× smaller, but the money for each $1 move is the same.
