GBPJPY lot size calculator

GBPJPY is quoted in yen, and a yen pair’s pip is 0.01, not 0.0001. One pip on one standard lot of 100 000 pounds is 1 000 yen. In a USD account that is 1 000 divided by the USDJPY rate — at 150 it is about $6.67 per pip.

Because the pip value moves with USDJPY, the calculator asks for today’s USDJPY price; there are no live quotes on this page. GBPJPY often swings 100 pips or more in a day, so stops are wider and lots smaller than on EURUSD for the same risk.

Contract size: check yours for GBPJPY

One lot is 100 000 pounds; profit and loss are in yen until they are converted.

In MetaTrader, right-click GBPJPY in Market Watch → Specification: “Contract size” is the number to put in the calculator. The formula is the same for every instrument: lots = risk ÷ (stop distance × contract size × quote-to-account rate).

Did your GBPJPY trades risk what you planned?

A calculator sizes the next trade. The journal checks the last hundred: it reads every MT4/MT5 GBPJPY trade, shows the real R of each from its stop, and with a max-loss-per-trade rule marks the trades that lost more than you allowed. Free for one account.

Questions

›Why is the pip on GBPJPY 0.01?

Yen pairs are quoted with two decimals (three on fractional quotes), so the standard pip is the second decimal place.

›How much is a GBPJPY pip in dollars?

1 000 yen per standard lot divided by the USDJPY rate. At USDJPY 150 that is $6.67; at 140 it is $7.14.

›Is GBPJPY riskier than other pairs?

It moves more per day, which means wider stops. Sized by risk in money, the loss at the stop is the same — the position is just smaller.
