Contract Sizes<\/h3>\n
Each standard lot traded in the Forex market is a 100,000 (of the base currency) contract. In other words, when trading one lot in a standard account, a trader is essentially placing a $100,000 trade in the market. Without leverage, many investors would not be able to afford such a transaction. Leverage of 1:100 would allow a trader to place the same one lot ($100,000) trade by posting $1,000 in margin.<\/p>\n
Many retail Forex brokers also offer the ability to trade mini lots. Mini lots essentially allow the trader to trade one tenth of a standard lot. Trading in this size is often referred to as trading a mini lot. Mini lot contracts are $10,000 (of the base currency). A trade of one mini lot would be a $10,000 trade. Trading with 1:100 leverage would mean that $100 of margin would control a $10,000 contract.<\/p>\n
Here at XtreamForex we have also introduced the Micro account offering 1:1000 leverage and a minimum trade size of 1 micro lot or $1,000.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1686979518207{padding-top: 8px !important;padding-bottom: 22px !important;background-color: #000000 !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”5\/12″][vc_btn title=”Open Live Account” style=”custom” custom_background=”#000000″ custom_text=”#ffffff” shape=”square” align=”center” el_class=”white_border” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fmy.xtrememarkets.com%2Faccount%2Fregister.php%3Fmu%3D1||target:%20_blank|”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][vc_column_text el_class=”ptxt”]<\/p>\n
