How does trading in units work?

Instead of offering fixed trade sizes (lots), the v20 and v20 MT4 sub-accounts on the OANDA platform are designed so traders may place trades from as small as 1 unit of currency. One unit is equal to one of the base currency in a currency pair.

For example, one unit of USD/CHF is equal to one dollar and one unit of EUR/USD is equal to one Euro. Using units means you are not required to round your position size to a lot, mini lot, or micro lot.

If you are accustomed to trading in lots, the relationships are as follows:

1 standard lot = 100,000 units

1 mini lot = 10,000 units

1 micro lot = 1,000 units.

MT4 and MT5 platforms offer trading in lots. Therefore when entering trades on MT4 and MT5 platforms, a standard lot is 1, a mini lot is 0.1, and a micro lot is 0.01
