Do not confuse

Common comparison error

A Pip difference does not alone prove manipulation; spread, last trade, midpoint, clock error, latency, or Currency pair may explain it.

Practical use

How to verify Pip

Read Pip together with Base currency, Currency pair, FX fixing. The comparison must preserve the exact rule, value, state, and evidence described below.

A neutral example

A broker candle and external chart disagree on Pip: one uses midpoint and another last trade. Matching instrument and price type explains Base currency. The evidence must resolve the defining Pip boundary: the standardized small forex increment depends on currency pair and quote precision.

Evidence path

Where to verify Pip

Use the source that governs the exact contract, account, entity, or platform state. A general definition cannot replace current broker terms.

Symbol information and market scheduleMatch the symbol to its underlying market, price source, trading hours, weekend treatment, and settlement availability.
Broker platform recordCompare the platform symbol and timestamp with the named market or provider instead of relying on the asset label alone.
