EUR/USD Pip Value — Fixed in USD, Variable in MYR
EUR/USD is the world's most liquid forex pair. The pip value for a USD-denominated account is exactly $10.00 per standard lot — fixed, because the quote currency is USD. For Malaysia traders with akaun MYRs, this must be converted to rand using the live USD/MYR rate.
| Lot Size | Pip value (USD) | Pip value (MYR @ 18.00) | 50-pip move (MYR) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.01 (micro) | $0.10 | R1.80 | R90 |
| 0.10 (mini) | $1.00 | R18.00 | R900 |
| 1.00 (standard) | $10.00 | R180.00 | R9,000 |

The MYR Trader's Perspective on EUR/USD
EUR/USD's MYR pip value is larger than USD/MYR at comparable lot sizes — and it changes daily with USD/MYR. At USD/MYR 18.00, 1 standard lot on EUR/USD costs R180 per pip versus R10 per pip on USD/MYR. For a MYR-account trader wanting to risk R500 on a 50-pip stop, the correct lot size is: R500 ÷ (50 × R18.00) = 0.0056 standard lots (5.6 micro-lots).
EUR/USD vs EUR/MYR — Which to Trade?
SA traders wanting euro exposure have two choices: EUR/USD or EUR/MYR. EUR/USD has tighter spreads (typically 1–1.5 pips vs 25+ pips for EUR/MYR) and deeper liquidity, but the pip value in MYR fluctuates with USD/MYR. EUR/MYR has wider spreads but a fixed MYR pip value — making position sizing in rand straightforward. Use EUR/USD for directional EUR bets; use EUR/MYR for rand-specific exposure.
