Minimum tradable lot size
Minimum tradable lot size
The minimum trade size is 0.01 lots.
Example 1:
For currency pairs, the Contract Size value is 100,000
This means that the trading volume of 1 lot is equal to 100,000 units of the base currency. Therefore, the minimum tradable lot size 0.01 lots for currencies is equal to:
0.01*100,000 = 1000 units of the base currency
Example 2
In the trading terminal for Gold (XAUUSD), the Contract Size value is 100
This means that the trading volume of 1 lot is equal to 100 units of the XAU (gold)
Therefore, the minimum tradable lot size 0.01 lots for metals is equal to:
0.01*100 = 1 units of the XAU (gold)
The number of base currency units in 1 lot is specified in the contract specification. You can find this data on the instrument specifications page or on our trading platform.
