I am trading forex and I am trying to understand the trading volumes. I have heard about micro lots and I am wondering if 0.01 is considered a micro lot. Could someone clarify this for me?

A micro lot, which is equivalent to a 0.01 lot size, signifies a contract that involves 1,000 units of the base currency.

When trading with a micro lot, for every 1 pip movement in the price, your potential profit or loss will be calculated accordingly.

Specifically, this means that a 1 pip movement will result in a $0.10 profit or loss.

This calculation is derived by multiplying the pip value by the lot size and then by the value per pip, which is typically $11.
