Nicknamed 'the dragon' for its volatility, GBP/JPY regularly covers a hundred and fifty pips in a session. Position sizing matters more here than on any other cross in this list.
The pair inherits sterling's headline sensitivity and the yen's risk-off bid, which means the two can compound rather than cancel. It is best traded during the London session, when both legs are properly liquid.
GBP/JPY sits in the minors group on our board. A standard contract is 100,000 units of GBP, which puts the value of a single pip at roughly $6.38. With a typical daily range of 152 pips, a full-lot position moves through a meaningful amount of account equity in an ordinary session, so size the trade against the range rather than against the margin requirement.

No. The GBP/JPY quote shown here is indicative demo data — a fixed, fictional snapshot dated 07/08/2026, 16:45 GMT. It does not update and is not sourced from any exchange or broker. Use your broker's own live feed before pricing or placing any trade.
Our demo board shows 3.2 pips, against a long-run average of 3.2 pips. Real spreads vary by broker, account type and time of day: they are tightest during the London and New York sessions and widen sharply around major data releases and in the thin hours after the New York close.
On a standard contract of 100,000 units of GBP, one pip is worth approximately $6.38. Scale that down proportionally for mini and micro lots — a 0.01 lot position moves at one hundredth of the figure quoted.
Sun 22:00 – Fri 22:00 GMT (continuous). Liquidity is not evenly distributed across those hours: expect the tightest spreads and the largest ranges when the primary session for this instrument overlaps with London or New York.
Our indicative figures are 2.6 on a long position and -11.4 on a short, per standard lot per night, with a triple charge applied on Wednesdays to cover the weekend. Positive numbers are credited and negative numbers are debited. Swap rates differ materially between brokers and change with policy rates.
