AUD/JPY Contract Newbie


Guest CKau

Question

Hi,  I am a complete Newbie to day trading.  I have read the various help guides, but I cannot understand the size & amounts involved in buying/selling an AUD/JPY forex contract.

 

I am an Australian based user.

 

If I buy 1 contract of AUD/JPY what is the notional amount I have invested in AUD and JPY?  For instance, if I bought 1 contract at 80.00, have I bought JPY100 which is AUD80?  I understand 1 pip is the 2nd decimal place.   So if the price went to 80.01, have I made JPY1 which is AUD$0.8.

 

I'm confused.  Part of the confusion is I know that 100JPY is about 80 australian cents, but when it comes to the way things are quoted and contract sizes, I get really confused.

 

AUD with GBP, EUR, USD seems to be easier to understand, but I cannot get my head around JPY.

Hi   If you search youtube videos you can find many to help explain the calculation of pips in forex pairs but I wouldn't get too bogged down because you are not really buying or selling anything, you are taking a position in the market with the expectation price will move either up or down and so with that in mind the most important calculation is your risk and for that you need a position size calculator.

 

The fastest way to learn is to get on demo and play.

    • I've been exploring the world of play-to-earn gaming recently, looking for something that's not just about endless grinding but actually offers a fun and rewarding experience. OGC really stood out to me because it combines gaming with a sense of community in a unique way. OGC isn't just a game; it's a platform where you can play, earn, and even help shape its future. You're not just a player; you're part of a community with a voice. The idea of earning crypto while playing games is exciting, but what makes OGC special is its focus on community involvement. Your feedback can directly influence the development of the game, which is a big deal. I've also heard that the OGC token is available for pre-market trading on Bitget. While I'm still getting to know the platform and its features, it's definitely something to keep an eye on. Has anyone else tried OGC? What has your experience been like? I'd love to hear your thoughts and any tips you might have.
