The minimum trade volume is not set by the trading platform but is determined by the broker and the type of account opened.
In Forex, trades are measured in lots:
- 1 standard lot = 100,000 units of the base currency (e.g., 100,000 EUR when trading EUR/USD).
- 0.1 lot (a mini lot) = 10,000 units.
- 0.01 lot (a micro lot) = 1,000 units.
Most retail brokers today allow trading as small as 0.01 lot = 1,000 units.
Some brokers even offer 0.001 lots (100 units) on special “cent accounts” or “nano accounts”.
Others may set the minimum at 0.1 lots (10,000 units), especially with professional accounts.
