Understanding Forex Lot Sizes

Lot Size Types

  • Standard Lot: 100,000 units of base currency
  • Mini Lot: 10,000 units (0.1 standard lot)
  • Micro Lot: 1,000 units (0.01 standard lot)
  • Nano Lot: 100 units (0.001 standard lot)

Pip Value Calculation

  • For USD pairs: 1 pip = $10 per standard lot
  • For JPY pairs: 1 pip = $9.50 per standard lot
  • Pip value scales proportionally with lot size
  • Account currency affects final pip value

Risk Management

  • Never risk more than 1-3% per trade
  • Calculate position size based on stop loss
  • Use smaller lots for volatile pairs
  • Consider correlation when trading multiple pairs
