The value of a pip depends on the currency pair, the exchange rate, and the size of the trade position (usually measured in lots). [5] If the U.S. dollar is the quote currency (the second of the pair), such as with the EUR/USD pair, the pip is fixed at .0001. In this case, the value of one pip is calculated by multiplying the lot size by 0.0001.
If the tick is too big then the opposite happens and time priority is given far too much of an advantage. The size of a tick is picked to basically balance those two priorities. Tick sizes can be fixed (e.g., USD 0.0001) or vary according to the current price (common in European markets) with larger increments at higher prices.
