One of the first concepts to commit to memory in learning Forex is understanding what

Lot is. It may be imperatie to learn more than the definition of it as it will broaden your!nowledge of trading and augment the chances of profit potentials. " lot is arepresentation of trade si#es which gies you a chance to choose the amount you wantto buy or sell. $o not be paranoid or bamboo#led with the mathematical calculation youwill see later on as it only explains further correlation with margin and lot si#e andcalculating pip profit and loss.

Lot Sizes Explained

I want to trade Forex online. %ounds good& right' $o you !now the different lot si#es.(ou already !now these dimensions most bro!ers include in their contract si#es – that)sfine. *ut if you don)t – then they are %tandard lot& +icro lot and +ini Lot.%cientifically& as you !now& a metric is a unit of measurement so in Forex there is also astandard si#e for transactions.

Standard Lot in Currency Trading

his is sometimes referred to as normal or conentional lot and is the maximum or the biggest lot si#e you can get on the contract si#e. It consists of ,--&--- units of the basecurrency with an aerage pip of ,- which you will see later on. If the leerage is,:,-- you will be gien ,--&--- to start with.

Mini Lot

It is ,/,- of the normal lot si#e which is ,--&--- units. %o supposing that a leerage of,:,-- is gien& you will hae ,-&--- dollars of the base currency to start afresh. It)s lesscompared to the ,--&--- units. here is a tric! here& instead of opting for standard lot&

you can trade ,- mini lots& customi#e your trade& and hae less exposure to ris! andmore flexible in your trading. " pip is alued at , for mini accounts lot.

Micro lot

his is the minimum or the smallest of the three. (ou trade in increments here whichthe big inestors may not li!ely go for. he small boys or the startups can use it tohedge ris!. If the leerage is ,:,--&--- you will hae ,-- of the base currency as theminimum capital a bro!er offers you to start with plus the deposit in your account. Ifyou don)t prefer the standard or micro lot& you can use ten micro lot which is e0uialentto ,-- mini lots and One standard lot.

Selecting a Lot size

1hoosing a particular lot si#e to !ic! off trading has a big impact on your ris!

management strategy. he most recurring 0uestion most beginners as! how do I !nowwhich lot si#e will wor! best for me. here is no magic formula for this – no rule ofthumb for that. It all depends on your trading decisions and how you want to approachthe mar!et. Lot si#e selection also depends on your portfolio and the budget you haefor yourself which to some extent determine the magnitude of the ris! you are ready toshoc!2absorb. It is generally recommended to trade with a smaller lot si#e because thesmaller the lot scale& the less ris! exposure.

o ta!e Forex as a full2time profession& then there is eery need to understand types ofcurrency pairs. he currency with no 3% $ollar as the base or counter currency 40uote5is the cross currency pairs for the instance& 6*7 / 87(. 9hile pairs that inole uroare referred to as euro 1rosses e.g. 3;/6*7

If you intend to buy 3;/3%$& actually you)re buying uros and selling 3% $ollars atthe same time. On the other hand& if you want to buy 3%$& then you hae to sell urosin order to buy 3%$.

EU!US" < ,.=>>-

o buy one 3; is at the expense of the 3%$. hat is to say that one 3; buys ,.=>>-.he 3; becomes the base currency while the 3%$ the 0uote currency.

" trader ta!es a long position if he buys a specific currency and holds on to it withoutselling it until the price appreciates. In the scenario aboe& a trader will buy 3; at

,.=>>- and sits in that position until let)s say the price rose to ,.=>>?. hen ? pips hae been made already in the trade& the trader can now sell it. his implies that the 3%$ has



gained more alue compared to the 3; and you need more 3%$ to buy the 3;. hemar!et becomes bullish& which means that there are more buyers than sellers.

o ta!e a short position is selling a currency pair if a trader anticipates that it will dropin alue. 9ith the example aboe& to go short means I want to sell uro at the expense

of buying the 3%$ because I thin! that the alue will drop. 9hen the currency pairdrops& it means that less 3%$ is re0uired to buy the 3; and guess what' 3; gainsmore alue than dollars and the mar!et will become bearish with aailable sellers.

ach Financial mar!et has its own behaiour li!ewise in Forex. he mar!et tends bullish and bearish at eery tic! of a second due to the nature of demand and supply.ery trader is aiming high to ma!e a profit. (ou buy currencies when you expect the

price to drop and you sell to ma!e a profit when the currency price increases. (ou sell acurrency when you forecast there will be a decrease in the alue. 3nderstanding when a

base currency will increase or decrease in alue in relation to the 0uote currency is oneof the basic tenets of Forex trading.

Correlation (et)een Lot Sizes and Pips

" pip or percentage in point is the smallest increment of one currency in relation toanother. %imply it is a measurement of the smallest change in price in any currency pair.For instance if 3;/3%$ moes from ,.A,?- to ,.A,?,& then .---, will gie a pip

alue f ,. 3ltimately& a pip is usually ta!en as the last decimal place of a 0uotation.+ost bro!ers normally hae their pairs) in the =th decimal with an exception to8apanese (en 7airs that stay at A decimal places.

It seems we forget the fractional pips& not really' It is Eust haing the 0uote currency pairs goes beyond A and = decimal places. In our example aboe& instead of ,.A,?- to,.A,?,& 3;/3%$ moes from ,.A,??- to ,.A,??,. the -.----, is considered a pipalue of ,.

*o) to Calculate a Pip +alue

It is imperatie you understand the mathematical calculation behind your trade so youcan pause your trade and ta!e a pen and wor! it out yourself. It does not worth it as



some traders assert ta!ing all your time to calculate price per pip as automatically your bro!er will do the magic for you.

Margin and Leverage

hese are both confusing terms but we will tac!le it s0uarely to shed more lights intounderstanding these concepts better. +argin is the amount the bro!er re0uired to hae inyour account before you start off trading. It represents the collateral to coer trade ris!from the bro!ers) side. he amount is used by the bro!er to maintain your position.



" ery good analogy is to re0uest for a loan from the ban!. he ban! will as! for acollateral& ealuate the collateral and tells you the amount they are ready to offer you.%o the asset alue of the collateral must be oer the amount they will gie so in case youfailed to lie up to the obligation of sericing the loan& then your collateral will be soldto coer the capital gien to you plus the interest rate.

Let)s sei#e this opportunity to explain some terminologies or terms related to +argin as

many beginners hae come across them without understanding what they are.

(alance: It shows the total amount in your account with all the trades closed out. his isexcluding open trades and is not reliable and accurate.

E4uity: %ometimes called account margin – then total sum of your ban!roll. It includesall open trades. "s a matter of fact it is the exact number to loo! out for in your tradingaccount. It is the sum of the +argin and Free margin.

Margin re4uired: his is the safety deposit re0uired to initiate trade. "lways remember bro!ers need assurance from you which comes from the re0uired margin.

Used Margin: o !eep your account open& the concerned bro!er will hae to loc! outsome of the money to !eep your current positions open and alie. 3nless you close themoney can be returned to you.

Usable Margin: he amount aailable to enable you to open new positions.

,ree Margin: amount aailable to use without getting a margin call in open positions.

Margin level: 40uity/margin x ,--5 H. It)s not really a ratio to worry or watch out.

*o) "oes Leverage 0ork in ,orex



9hen a bro!er loans you an amount so you can trade in a higher unit – it gies you aleerage . %ince you may be targeting a higher trade but hae insufficient funds to placeorders& then the bro!er will come in and assist you by giing you a lift up financially.(ou may either lose the whole amount or ma!e profit. It is ideal to let you !now thatleerage ratio does not affect the alue of the lot. he leerage remains the same no

matter the si#e of the lot you are trading with.

For instance& trader " "nd rader * each has ?-&--- uros in their account. rade "opens a position at ?-:, leerage at ,-&--- mini lot with 3;/3%$. rade * opens a

position at =--:, leerage at ,-&--- mini lot with 3;/3%$ . rader " is at a lesserris! since he/she only re0uires AH 4A-- 3;5 margin re0uirement for his position andwill hae more money to coer his position. 9hile rader * will hae less to coer his

position& since he/she will cough out -.A?H 4 3; A&?--5 margin and re0uires moremoney to maintain open positions. rader * has high chances of maximi#ing profitfrom any pip increments.
