Been trading for 3 years and I still see this mistake everywhere.
Traders calculate pip value wrong, then wonder why their stop loss hit for more than expected. The issue? Pip value changes with pair, lot size, AND account currency.
The fix is simple: use a calculator that handles all three.

For example:
- 1 standard lot EUR/USD = $10/pip
- 1 mini lot USD/JPY = varies by rate
- Account in GBP? Pip value converts automatically
