I'm trying to figure out what constitutes a 'lot' in stock trading. Specifically, I want to know if a lot refers to 100 shares or 1000 shares.

Mini lots are larger than micro lots, with 10,000 units of the base currency. They are a popular choice for traders who want to increase their exposure to the market without taking on too much risk.

In financial markets, options are contracts that provide holders with the right to buy or sell an underlying asset at a specific price within a certain period.

A standard option contract typically represents 100 shares of the underlying stock. This means that if an option is exercised, the holder can buy or sell 100 shares of the stock at the agreed-upon price.

Unlike options, forex trading involves the exchange of currencies. Forex is traded in different lot sizes, which determine the amount of currency being traded.

Micro lots are the smallest lot size in forex trading, equivalent to 1,000 units of the base currency. This allows traders to enter the market with a relatively small amount of capital.
