What is the maximum lot size?

The maximum trading size only applies to traders in Levels 1-4.

For Forex and Crypto, a maximum lot size of 0.1 Lot per 2,000 USD is based on the account balance and not per trade.

For Commodities and Indices, the maximum lot size is 0.01 lot per 2,000 USD is based on the account balance and not per trade.

Forex, crypto, commodities, and indices may all be traded at the same time; however, traders must be careful not to exceed the maximum allowed lot size for forex and non forex.
The lot size must be adjusted every time the balance falls below the initial balance.

It doesn’t matter how many open positions you can have.

If you want to leave pending orders but already have open positions, be sure that the total of all open positions plus potential pending orders does not exceed the maximum position size.

Forex/Crypto example:


Starter account with $6,000 account balance, your maximum lot size will be 0.3 lots per account.
Standard account with $15,000 account balance, your maximum lot size will be 0.75 lots per account.
Professional account with $30,000 account balance, your maximum lot size will be 1.5 lots per account.

Commodities/Indices example:


Starter account with $6,000 account balance, your maximum lot size will be 0.03 lots per account.
Standard account with $15,000 account balance, your maximum lot size will be 0.075 lots per account.
Professional account with $30,000 account balance, your maximum lot size will be 0.15 lots per account.

If you want to trade in both, here is an example of Forex and Gold:
A professional account with a $30,000 account balance, you can trade 1,0 Lot Forex ($20,000) and 0,05 Lot Gold ($10,000)
