What Is a Pip and Why Does It Matter?
A pip (percentage in point) is the smallest standardized price movement in a trading instrument. In forex, one pip is typically the fourth decimal place of a currency pair (0.0001). In crypto futures, the equivalent concept is a tick, which is the minimum price increment defined by the exchange for a given contract.
Knowing your pip or tick value tells you exactly how much money you gain or lose for every single unit of price movement. Without this figure, position sizing is guesswork. With it, you can calculate your risk per trade in dollar terms before you enter, and size your position to match your risk tolerance.
On UEEx futures contracts, pip and tick values vary by asset and contract specification. This calculator works for any contract as long as you know the contract size and the minimum price increment.
Pip Value vs. Tick Value: What Is the Difference?
The terms pip and tick are used interchangeably in practice but come from different trading contexts. Pip is the standard forex term. Tick is the standard futures term. Both refer to the same core concept: the smallest price movement a contract can make, and how much that movement is worth in your account currency.
For crypto futures on UEEx, tick size is specified per contract. For example, a BTC/USDT perpetual contract might have a tick size of 0.1 USDT. If the contract size is 0.001 BTC and BTC is trading at $65,000, one tick is worth 0.001 x 0.1 = $0.0001 per contract.
The pip or tick value scales linearly with the number of contracts you hold. Ten contracts means ten times the pip value, which is why calculating it before sizing your position is a core risk management step.
Pip / Tick Value Formula
Pip Value = Tick Size x Contract Size
Tick Size = Minimum price increment for the contract Contract Size = Quantity of the base asset per contract Pip Value = Value in the quote currency (e.g. USDT) per pip, per contract Total Exposure = Pip Value x Number of Contracts x Pip Distance

Use Pip Value to Size Positions, Not Just to Track P&L
Most traders calculate pip value after a trade to understand what happened. Use it before the trade instead. If you are willing to risk $50 on a trade with a 200-pip stop, you need a pip value of $0.25 or less per contract to stay within that limit.

Account Currency Conversion Changes Your Real Exposure
If your account is denominated in USD and the contract settles in USDT, the values are near-equivalent. If your account is in EUR or GBP, the pip value in your account currency shifts with the exchange rate. This calculator handles that conversion automatically.
🔢
Leverage Multiplies Your Pip Exposure, Not the Pip Value
The pip value of a contract does not change with leverage. What changes is how many contracts you can control with your margin. Higher leverage lets you hold more contracts, which multiplies your total pip exposure per trade, not the per-contract pip value.

Check Contract Specs Before Using Any Calculator
Contract sizes and tick sizes are set by the exchange and can change. Always verify the current contract specification on the UEEx contract details page before calculating. Using outdated specs produces incorrect pip values and unreliable position sizing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Go to the UEEx futures trading page, select the contract you want to trade, and look for the contract details or specifications section. This will show the contract multiplier (contract size) and the minimum price increment (tick size). These values are set by UEEx and can change, so always check before calculating.
No. Pip value is the dollar gain or loss per one pip of price movement, per contract. Your actual profit or loss on a trade depends on the number of pips the price moved multiplied by your pip value multiplied by the number of contracts held. The scenario table in the calculator shows these combined figures for common pip distances.
Leverage does not change the pip value of a contract. The pip value is fixed by the contract specification. What leverage affects is how many contracts you can open with a given amount of margin. If 10x leverage lets you open 10 contracts instead of 1, your total pip exposure is 10 times higher, but each individual contract still has the same per-pip value.
First, calculate your total pip value (pip value per contract x number of contracts). Then divide your maximum dollar risk by the total pip value to get the maximum pip distance for your stop. For example: if your total pip value is $0.10 and you are willing to risk $20, your stop should be no wider than 200 pips from your entry price.
Because pip value depends on contract size and tick size, not on the current market price. Two contracts trading at the same price can have very different pip values if their contract sizes or tick sizes differ. This is common across crypto futures, where exchanges set different specifications for each asset to keep contract values manageable.
