If I want to enter a EURJPY trade then can you please tell me what 'quantity' equates to?

The minimum order size with Interactive Brokers is 20K.
If I enter 20K in the quantity field on my live account for EURJPY, then what is my value per pip going to be?

First of all make sure you are using the correct symbols. Refer to:
Interactive Brokers Symbols: Forex Symbols For Trading


If you want to trade 20,000 currency units with Interactive Brokers, then you would specify 20000 for the quantity. You can see what the Currency Value per Tick is:
Chart Settings: Currency Value Per Tick (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol Settings menu)
