Lot
In forex trading, a “lot” refers to a standardized unit of measurement for the size of a trade position. It determines the quantity of currency being bought or sold in a forex trade. The size of a lot varies depending on the type of account, broker, and the trader’s chosen trading strategy. Lot sizes help traders manage risk, determine position sizes, and calculate potential profits or losses.
