How To Calculate Pip Value

I learn from other website, to calculate pip value e.g for GBP/JPY

(0.01/CURRENT PRICE)*CONTRACT SIZE= AMOUNT PER PIP

What does the "CURRENT PRICE" refer to? BID price or ASK price?

Re: How To Calculate Pip Value

current price means :
Bid price if you want to sell
Ask price if yo want to buy.

suppose your account is in USD and you want to buy 1 lot (100,000) GBPJPY

you've got
GBPJPY Ticksize = 0.01
pip value = 100,000* 0.01 = 1000 JPY
converted into your account base currency (USD)
1000 / USDJPY ask
