For example, to get the pip value of a standard lot for the USD/CAD, when trading a USD account, divide $10 by the USD/CAD rate. If the USD/CAD rate is 1.2500 the standard lot pip value in USD is $8, or $10 divided by 1.2

To find the value of a pip when the CAD is listed first, divide the fixed pip rate by the exchange rate. For example, to find the value of a mini lot, if the CAD/CHF exchange rate is 0.7820, a pip is worth CAD$1.27.

If the pair includes the JPY, for example the JPY/CAD, then multiply the result by 10. For example, if the CAD/JPY is priced at 89.09, to find out the standard pip value divide CAD$10 by 89.09, then multiply the result by 10, for a pip value of CAD$11.23.
