Benefits of trading mini accounts and mini lots in Forex

It is often very convenient for beginner traders to start off with mini Forex accounts. By investing little money and trading mini lot sizes Forex traders are able to put at test own knowledge and trading skills without undertaking serious financial risks.

Mini accounts are also a good way to test Forex broker as well: How good is the trading platform? Order execution and services overall? Only live trading can provide the answers.

By starting with mini lot sizes, traders learn to control risks and money flow more effectively and without unnecessary stress, which is always present when trading standard size lots. Coping with risks and emotions also need practice, mini and micro accounts and mini lots allow this practice to be effective.

Forex brokers who offer mini accounts, and, more importantly, mini lots provide more freedom and flexibility to their clients allowing them to have even more control over own investments and risks.
What is better than 0.1 lot, known as mini-lot? :) An even smaller lot! Some Forex brokers allow to trade with as little as 0.01 lot (micro lots), and some don't have any limitations for lot sizes at all!

Why some brokers are highlighted in green?

Forex brokers who offer a micro-lot trading option are highlighted in green. 1 micro lot = 0.01 lot = 1000 units.
For traders who look to open an account under $1000 dollars, it is highly recommended to start trading with micro lots (0.01 lot) or less.

Next figures should explain the math behind risks when trading with different lot sizes on mini accounts:
1st Account balance $250, min lot size 0.1 lot (each pip costs on average $1).
2nd Account balance $250, min lot size 0.01 lot (each pip costs on average $0.10).

Typical trading situation: 2 consecutive losses of just 10 pips each + 4 pips spread (2 pips for each trade) = 24 pips loss.

1st account, where the cost of each pip was $1 would lose $24, which is 1/10 of the account being lost in no time and with just 10 pips move against a trader!
(10 pips in Forex is nothing! With intra-day trading strategies Forex traders lose on average from 15 to 25 pips per move!)

2nd account, where the cost of each pip was $0.1 has lost just $2.4, which is not going to affect the balance much.

Remember about the risks, chose a broker not just by a suitable minimum account size, but also by a lot size, depending on how much you're going to invest.

New! Now you can trade even on US Cents accounts!

Micro-cents trading is offered by:

Forex4you
FX|Clearing
EFX - England Foreign exchange
E-Global Trade & Finance Group
4UFX

On such micro accounts all calculations and trading is done in US Cents.

Can anyone tell me if they know of a broker that offers standard, mini and micro trades all from the same account. I have been talking to I-tradeFX. I was wondering if there are any other brokers that do that.


BrokerGuru

February 27, 2009

This shoudn't be a problem, not all but most Forex brokers who offer mini and micro lots allow trading actually any higher lot size you want.
Few quick examples without any order: Alpari US, FastbrokersFX, FxCLub, IBFX... a lot.

Please note, that with a standard account you might not be able to trade mini lots, while with mini and micro accounts you may often trade any lot size you like. Every broker has his own rules.

I'd like to know what maximum lot sizes are allowed by the broker. For instance, I know that alpari allows a maximum lot size of 2 lots for its micro account while e-global allows you to open positions on micro account up to a maximum of 1 lot. Are there brokers that allow opening as many positions as possible starting with lot size of 0.01?


BrokerGuru

Good point. I'll work on adding a column with max lot size. Thank you!
