If i was trading the usd/cad pair with a 1,000.00 account at a 100. 1 What would each pip give me in profit. thanks

Assuming you mean "at 100:1 leverage", you can open up to a 100,000 USD/CAD position. At that position size, each pip is worth USD 8.45, at current price level.

In general, 1 USD/CAD pip per lot = 10 / Exit Rate, where Exit Rate is the price at which you CLOSE the trade, e.g., 1.1834.
