Highest Pip value

Hi,

Can anyone tell me which currency pairs have the highest pip value? I know GBPUSD is $10 per pip. It would make sense to trade these instead of the lower pip value pairs.

Many thanks,
Alex

I have not looked into many, but USD/CAD is currently $10.29 per pip for a standard lot.

I think EUR/GBP has the highest pip value but this pair has the lowest volatility so itīs almost the same.

But if you want a good pip value and a good volatility I think the most rewarding pairs are the yen crosses: EUR/JPY and GBP/JPY.

Yup, it's almost 20 bucks per lot, but only 40 pips of average daily move. Anything above 1 pip spread on EURGBP makes this pair rather unefficient to trade.

Thanks - it seems the most efficient way to trade FX is a balance between volatility and pip value.

What do other people trade?

I personally trade any cross that shows a healthy trend, no favorites.

Trade what you see, not what you think.

I trade GBP/USD and many of the crosses. I love GBP/JPY.
