1.16660 - 1.16650 = 0.00010.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATION OF PIPS IN FOREX
Now we would take a look on how does PIP work. Basically, pips effectively the smallest increment in which a Forex value moves, with the advent more accurate methods of pricing this is no longer the original definition.

6) EXAMPLE -
- Now the concept of pips better ,we would take an example.
S suppose you sell to lots of USD / JPY why in 113.607. USD / JPY why pair is worth 100000 USD that is why you are selling two lots as 2 * 100000 *113.607=22,721, 400 JPY to buy 100000 USD =$200000.
So you are selling 200000 USD.
-will assume the price moves against you and you decide to cut your losses. You will close your position on 114.107 for USD / JPY, a PIP is the movement in the second decimal place. The price has increased against you from 0.50 which is 50 pips.
- now you close your position after buying two lots of USD / JPY for 114.107. At this rate cost, to buy $200000 USD again you have to pay 22, 821, 400 JPY as:
{2* 100000*114.107}=22,821,400.
- now this is more than 100000 JPY from the original sale of USD so you are short of 100000 JPY. For 50 pips movement losing 1 lakh Japanese yen that for each pip by you would be:
100000 / 50 =2000 JPY.
Because you sold 2 lots, this is 1000 pips price per lot.
If your account is displayed in a currency that is different from the bid currency it will affect the pip price.
