Hi,

1625462268281.png

You can check above screenshot from my Mobile MT4. For EURJPY it says spread 22 what it means 22 pips or 22 points?

and

According to some broker 1 pips = 10 points
According to FBS and other brokers 1 point = 10 pips

Which is correct? I am really confused.

Here anyone please clarify.

That's 22 points spread on EUR/JPY.

1 standard pip = 10 points = 10 fractional pips.
For EUR/JPY, 1 standard pip = 0.01.
For EUR/USD, 1 standard pip = 0.0001.

However, sometimes people just call a point (a fractional pip) a pip.

PS: "1 point = 10 pips" is bullshit, no one (sane person) uses such naming.

If the broker is displaying the prices till 3rd decimal place for EURJPY and the difference between the prices or the spread is 22, then it is equal to 2.2 pips.
