What is the Lots?
In forex trading, ‘lot size’ is a key term that defines the scale of a trade, or the number of currency units to be bought or sold. A standard lot equals 100,000 units of the base currency.
Most brokers allow trading lot sizes as low as 0.01, or even lower. These small batch sizes are sometimes referred to as Mini, Micro, and Nano lots.
