Lot Size

Also known as: position size, lots

The unit of volume for a trade; in forex one standard lot is 100,000 units of the base currency.

How it works

A standard lot (1.0) of EURUSD ≈ $10 per pip; a mini lot (0.1) ≈ $1/pip; a micro lot (0.01) ≈ $0.10/pip. Position size, not just direction, decides how fast you hit a drawdown limit.
