How XAUUSD Pip Value Is Calculated

For gold, 1 standard lot equals 100 troy ounces. A pip is defined as a 0.10 move in price. The pip value is therefore: 0.10 × 100 oz = $10 per standard lot. Some brokers quote gold to 2 decimals and call 0.01 a pip — in that case a "pip" is worth $1 per lot. This calculator uses the industry-standard 0.10 = $10 definition.
