What is the definition of a pip? A term commonly used on forex trading

In forex trading, a PIP is the abbreviation of "Price Interest Points." Most traders measure their forex trading profits by counting pips. One pip is one-hundredth (1/100) of one percent (1%) of a currency contract price. For example, if the AUD/USD currency pair was to move by one pip the price movement could be from 0.7483 to 0.7484.
