10 Times More Trades with Micro Lots!

Monday, 25 January 2010 09:29

eToro launched a new version of their groundbreaking platform with a new very useful feature – micro lot trading.

Micro lot trading is a great option for beginners, since it allows traders to buy and sell smaller amounts of currency with each trade.

Explanation:

Micro lots enable traders to buy and sell smaller amounts of currency with each trade. Whereas a standard mini lot contains 10,000 currency units a mini lot is comprised of only 1,000 currency units.

This means that beginners can now open trades with as little as $2.5 of initial investment!

Example:

1,000 units of EUR/USD divided by a leverage of X400 will result in a $2.5 trade amount needed to open such a trade.

Benefits:

1. Ten times more trades.

2. Better money management with smaller investments

3. With $100 deposit, as little as 2.5% is needed to start trading!
