How are USDJPY pips calculated?

For JPY pairs, 1 pip = 0.01 (not 0.0001). USDJPY moving from 161.50 to 161.60 = 10 pips. 1 standard lot = approximately ¥1,000 per pip, converted to your account currency.

What lot size for a $1,000 USDJPY account?

With $1,000 risking 1% ($10) and a 15-pip stop: $10 / (15 x 9.3) = 0.072 lots. Use 0.07 lots. JPY pairs have smaller pip values per lot, so you can trade slightly larger positions.
