    Hey everyone, I was reading about pips forex and came across this guide on what is a pip in forex trading.
    I’m curious to open a discussion here:

    • How do you personally define a pip in forex?

    • In your experience, how important is understanding pips for risk management or position sizing?

    • Do you use pipettes (fractional pips)? If so, how does that influence your trading?

    • Any tips or pitfalls to watch out for when calculating pip value, especially in exotic or yen-based pairs?
