I'm trading forex and I'm trying to understand lot sizes. I know that a standard lot is 100,000 units of the base currency, and a mini lot is 10,000 units. But I'm not sure about micro lots. Is 0.01 considered a micro lot size?

For instance, in the USDJPY currency pair, the USD serves as the base currency.

When trading with a micro lot in the USDJPY pair, you are essentially trading 1,000 USD.

The lot size determines the overall value of the trade in terms of the base currency.
