GBP/JPY chart questions
- Why is GBP/JPY called volatile?
- It combines a news-sensitive currency, the pound, with a risk-sensitive one, the yen. Large candles and fast reversals are common.
- How should I size a GBP/JPY position?
- Base it on the pair's average range and your risk limit rather than a fixed lot size. Wider ranges mean smaller positions for the same risk.
- Do pips mean the same as on EUR/USD?
- For yen pairs a pip is the second decimal place, not the fourth. Check your platform before calculating risk.
