A pip is the standard smallest price move in a currency pair, usually the fourth decimal place (0.0001). For example, if EUR/USD moves from 1.1000 to 1.1001, that is one pip. For pairs quoted with the yen, a pip is normally the second decimal place. Pip value depends on your trade size, so the same pip move is worth more on a larger position. Larger positions also mean larger potential losses.

Forex is traded in pairs, such as EUR/USD, where you are effectively buying one currency while selling the other. If you expect the base currency to strengthen you buy (go long); if you expect it to weaken you sell (go short). Your profit or loss is the difference between your entry and exit prices, multiplied by position size. On the WrPro platform forex is traded as CFDs using leverage, which magnifies both gains and losses.

A currency pair shows two currencies, for example EUR/USD. The first is the base currency and the second is the quote currency, and the price tells you how much of the quote currency one unit of the base is worth. Majors involve the US dollar and are the most traded; minors and exotics can be less liquid with wider spreads. If EUR/USD is 1.1000, one euro costs 1.10 US dollars.

Profit equals the number of pips gained multiplied by the pip value for your position size. For example, if you buy one standard lot of EUR/USD and it rises 20 pips, and each pip is worth about 10 US dollars, that is roughly 200 US dollars before costs like spread. The same math applies to losses if price moves against you. Leverage increases both, so risk management matters.

The spread is the difference between the buy (ask) and sell (bid) price of a currency pair, and it is a core trading cost. If EUR/USD is quoted 1.1000 / 1.1001, the spread is one pip. Your trade must move at least the spread in your favour before it becomes profitable. Spreads are usually tighter on liquid major pairs and can widen during volatile periods or major news.

Forex prices can move quickly and unpredictably, and because it is often traded with leverage, losses can exceed your initial deposit on some products. Gaps around news, widening spreads, and emotional decisions can all work against you. Only risk money you can afford to lose, use stop-loss orders and sensible position sizes, and practise on a demo account first. This is general information, not personalised investment advice.
