How Lot Sizes Convert to Units
Every lot type is just a fixed number of units of the base currency. Multiply your trade size by the units in one of that lot type to get the total units, then divide those units by each lot's unit count to read the trade in any other format.
Units in Each Lot Type
| Lot Type | Units |
|---|---|
| Standard | 100,000 |
| Mini | 10,000 |
| Micro | 1,000 |
| Nano | 100 |
Frequently Asked Questions
A standard lot is 100,000 units of the base currency — the largest of the common sizes. On most USD-quoted pairs that makes each pip worth about $10, so a standard lot moves your account meaningfully on even small price changes.
A mini lot is 10,000 units, or 0.1 of a standard lot. It is one tenth the size, so pip value and exposure are also one tenth — roughly $1 per pip on most USD-quoted pairs, which makes it far easier to control risk on a smaller account.
Micro lots (1,000 units) or nano lots (100 units) keep each pip worth cents rather than dollars, so a learning mistake costs little. Start small, size every trade from a fixed risk percentage, and scale up only once your process is consistent.
Standard, mini, and micro lots are near-universal, but nano lots are offered by fewer brokers, and some quote size directly in units instead. Always confirm your broker's contract size before trading — this converter lets you translate between whichever format you and your platform use.
