STEP-BY-STEP

How to use this tool

  1. Enter the quantity shown in your calculation or source platform.
  2. Select whether that number represents standard lots, mini lots, micro lots, or raw units.
  3. Confirm the instrument’s units per standard lot; do not assume every product uses 100,000.
  4. Enter the destination platform’s permitted unit increment.
  5. Review every equivalent quantity and the rounded-down platform value.
  6. Confirm the order preview before submitting a simulated trade.
WORKED EXAMPLE

See the calculation in context

With a 100,000-unit standard contract, 0.35 standard lots equals 35,000 units, 3.5 mini lots, or 35 micro lots.

Calculation method

Units = input quantity × the selected quantity factor. With a 100,000-unit standard contract, one mini lot is 10,000 units and one micro lot is 1,000 units. Platform units are rounded down to the increment entered.

AVOID THESE ERRORS

Common mistakes

  1. Assuming every platform uses the word lot the same way
  2. Applying forex contract sizes to futures, options, metals or CFDs
  3. Confusing a mini lot with a micro lot
  4. Rounding quantity upward
  5. Ignoring instrument-specific minimums and increments
  6. Copying a quantity without checking account currency or symbol specifications
FREQUENTLY ASKED

Questions and answers

Why can the contract size be changed?

The common 100,000-unit convention does not apply to every instrument or platform. The official specification should be entered.

Why round down?

Rounding upward can exceed the position and risk originally planned.

Can I use this for futures contracts?

Only if you deliberately redefine the contract and unit meaning. Futures are usually better handled with a contract-specific quantity tool.
