Chosen, the result also states how many base-currency units the position holds at that contract size.

Nothing is stored or emailed. The maths runs on the figures you typed.

What this tells you

One number, four names. Confusing a micro lot for a standard lot is a tenfold error, which is why this page exists.

Method

Units = lots × contract size for the instrument. The conversion uses the lot definitions published in our specification table and shows both the units and the notional value at a price you enter.

Where the numbers come from

Contract sizes, pip conventions and session hours come from one published specification table, and the same class answers on the page and through the API. A conversion rate is only ever the figure you enter — the site does not fetch a price, because a hardcoded quote would be wrong for your broker and stale in seconds.

Lot converter — questions

Is a micro lot always 1,000 units?

For a standard 100,000-unit contract, yes. Exotic and index contracts use different sizes, so always read the contract size printed in the result.
