Crypto Pip Calculator

Crypto Pip Calculator

Crypto trading has unique characteristics that make standard forex calculators inaccurate. BTCUSD has a pip size of 0.01 and a contract size of just 1 BTC, resulting in a pip value of $0.01 per lot — drastically different from forex's $10.00 per lot.

Crypto Specifications

• BTCUSD: pip=0.01, contract=1 BTC, pip_value=$0.01/lot
• ETHUSD: pip=0.01, contract=1 ETH, pip_value=$0.01/lot
• SOLUSD: pip=0.001, contract=1 SOL, pip_value=$0.001/lot
• XRPUSD: pip=0.0001, contract=1 XRP, pip_value=$0.0001/lot

Python Example

from gfil_calculators.position_size import calculate_position_size

# BTCUSD with $10,000 account
result = calculate_position_size(10000, 1.0, 5000, "BTCUSD")
print(f"Lots: {result['lots']}")
