A contract specification is a dictionary, and its entries become trustworthy the moment you know what each one is counted in. Min lot, Max lot and Lot step are counted in lots: 0.01 to 500, in 0.01-lot steps. Contract size is counted per lot, and its unit changes with the asset class — 100,000 units on an FX major, 100 ounces on gold. Tick value is counted per minimum price increment per standard lot, in USD. Digits is a count of decimal places and nothing else, but it is the entry that decides how many points make a pip. Underneath the table sit entries that belong to the account rather than to the instrument: the stops level, the margin call and the stop-out level. Keeping those two groups apart is most of what it takes to read a specification correctly, and every figure here is read live from FxPro's own MetaTrader 5 Raw+ feed with the date it was last read printed under each block.

Read live from FxPro’s MT5 Raw+ account. ‘Tick value’ is the cash change per minimum price increment, per standard lot, in USD — what one point is worth to your P&L. Last read 2026-09-11.

Order rules and account risk

Minimum order 0.01 lot and maximum 500 lots, in 0.01-lot steps (0.01 lot = 1,000 units on an FX major).
No minimum stop or limit distance (stops level 0) — you can place a stop-loss or take-profit right next to price, which suits scalping and expert advisors.
Margin call at 10% and stop-out at 0% margin level, as measured on the Raw+ account — confirm the live levels in your own terminal before risking capital.
Contract size 100,000 units per lot on FX majors and 100 oz per lot on gold.

Measured by placing real market orders on the Raw+ account and timing each fill; slippage is the price difference (in points) between the click and the fill, and ‘at price / better / worse’ counts how those fills landed. Small sample (a few round-trips per size) — indicative, last read 2026-06-24.

Instrument universe (measured)

FxPro’s live MT5 server carries 2,105 tradable instruments — the real count, not a rounded marketing figure. The major tradable asset classes:

Asset class	Instruments
Stocks	1,854
Forex	75
ETFs	46
Futures	41
Cryptos	37
Spot	22
Metals	12

Counted directly on the trading server. Availability of a specific instrument can vary by account and region.

What each column is counted in

Counted in lots. Minimum lot, maximum lot and lot step. All three describe the order, all three are in the same unit, and together they define every volume the server will accept: from 0.01 to 500, in steps of 0.01.

Counted per lot. Contract size and tick value. Contract size states how much of the underlying one lot represents — units on a currency pair, ounces on gold — and tick value states what one price increment is worth on that one lot. Neither figure knows anything about the size you intend to trade.

Counted as a plain number. Digits, which is a count of decimal places, and the stops level, which is a count of points. They look like the smallest entries in the table and they settle the two questions that cause the most trouble: what a point is worth on this instrument, and how close to price an order may sit.

Entries that belong to the instrument, entries that belong to the account

The instrument's own. Lot limits, lot step, contract size, tick value and digits are properties of the symbol. They are identical on every account model, so they can be looked up once and kept — subject to the broker revising them, which is why each block carries a date.

The account's own. The commission, the stops level and the margin call and stop-out levels described here were read from one live Raw+ account. Change the account model and these are the entries that can read differently, while the instrument entries above them do not move — our Raw+ account page covers what the label does and does not change.

Why the split matters. Nearly every apparent contradiction between a published specification and a live terminal turns out to be an entry from one group being compared with an entry from the other. Establish which group a number belongs to before concluding that something is wrong with it.

Labels that mislead

Volume. Counted in lots, never in units. The units only appear once volume has been multiplied by contract size, and the two words are used interchangeably often enough that it is worth checking which one a given figure means.

Tick value and pip value. Two denominators, not two names for one thing. Tick value is per minimum increment; a pip is a convention that may be worth several increments, and on a five-decimal quote the two figures are not equal.

Maximum lot. A property of the instrument, stating the largest single order the server accepts. It says nothing about what an account can support, which is decided by the margin arithmetic on our margin calculator page.

Frequently asked questions

What does Lot step name?

The smallest increment a volume may be changed by. On the measured Raw+ account it is 0.01 lot, the same as the minimum order, so every valid size is a whole number of those steps up to the 500-lot maximum. A volume that is not a whole number of steps is not a valid entry.

What is the minimum and maximum trade size at FxPro?

On the measured Raw+ account the minimum order is 0.01 lot and the maximum is 500 lots, in 0.01-lot steps. One standard lot is 100,000 units on an FX major.

Is Contract size counted per trade or per lot?

Per lot, always. One standard lot is 100,000 units on an FX major and 100 ounces on gold, so the column describes the instrument rather than your order.

What is Tick value counted per?

Per minimum price increment, per standard lot, quoted in USD. It states what one increment of movement is worth on a one-lot position, and it is a different denominator from a pip value rather than another name for it.

What does the Digits column count?

Decimal places in the quoted price, and nothing else. It matters because it settles the pip-versus-point question: the last decimal place is one point, so the number of points in a pip follows directly from this column.

Which entries belong to the instrument and which to my account?

Minimum and maximum lot, lot step, contract size, tick value and digits belong to the instrument and read the same whatever account you hold. The stops level, the margin call and stop-out levels and the commission belong to the account model. Mixing the two groups is the usual reason a specification appears to contradict a terminal.

What is a stops level, and what is it measured in?

The minimum distance, counted in points, that a stop or limit order has to sit away from the current price. The measured stops level here is 0, meaning no minimum distance at all, which is what lets a stop-loss or take-profit be placed right next to price.

How current are these values?

Each block prints the date it was last read from FxPro's own MetaTrader 5 Raw+ account, and the instrument universe below is counted from the same feed. A specification can be changed by the broker, so the date beside a figure matters as much as the figure.
