Points VS Pips - page 35

 
Сергей Таболин:

Same question: how does your percentage relate to a pip?

By the way, the same question to MetaQuotes - how does a pip from MT4/5 turn into a pip in Signals?

 
Vladimir Baskakov:
And what do you want to prove that 1 point=1pips?

I'm not proving it, I'm just saying that a pip is the last digit of a quote. And if someone claims that the last digit of a quote is a pip, then yes, pip = pip. That's it.

A percentage point (pips) is the result of a calculation and has no direct relation to the last digit of a quote.

Now that's a valid question )))

that is exactly what we are talking about - the term pips, which is misused, nowadays, even by MetaQuotes

So is 100 pips or pips better, in money?

As it turns out, for some people a pip is the last mark, for others it is the penultimate, for others it is a percentage point. Hence, your question is a priori incorrect.

Personally, I tend to believe that a pip is a percentage point. Therefore, you will not hear an answer to your question from me. )))

.......

But the supporters of "pips" would start by agreeing among themselves. Otherwise, some claim that "pips" is the 5th sign, while others claim it is the 4th.

Right, because your formula that a point=pips does not correspond to reality.

It's not my formula - it's the uncertainty of what to call a pip.

Read it carefully.
 
It's definitely funny how society is divided into two camps: some have the point in the 4th sign and the pips in the 5th, while others have it the other way round. Cool show)
