Understanding lot sizes & risk management

In forex trading, position sizing is the most critical element of risk management. Learn how standard, mini, and micro lots work.

1.00 Lot

Standard Lot Size

Equivalent to 100,000 units of the base currency. For most USD quote pairs, 1 pip movement results in a $10.00 USD profit or loss.

0.10 Lot

Mini Lot Size

Equivalent to 10,000 units of the base currency. For USD quote pairs, 1 pip movement equates to a $1.00 USD change in value.

0.01 Lot

Micro Lot Size

Equivalent to 1,000 units of the base currency. For USD quote pairs, 1 pip movement equates to a $0.10 USD change in value.

Gold (XAU/USD) Calculations

1 standard lot of Gold corresponds to 100 troy ounces. Gold pricing is structured differently: a price change of $0.10 USD represents 1 pip, which yields a pip value of $10.00 USD per standard lot.
