Lot Size is the standardised quantity of a trade. In forex a standard lot is 100,000 units, with mini (10,000) and micro (1,000) lots for smaller accounts.
How traders use it
- Larger lots mean larger profit and loss per pip.
- Choose lot size to fit your risk-per-trade.
- Micro and mini lots let small accounts manage risk.
