Standard Day Trading Account

In the world of forex, a "standard" trading account allows a trader to day trade currencies in standard lots of 100,000 units a piece. Even though not all brokers that open standard accounts use lots of 100,000 (some use 1M or 10,000), the 100,000-figure is the most common.

In the trading account section, the brokerage firm provided can set up standard accounts for you.

The "Trading Currencies" section of my website also covers standard trading accounts in a lot greater detail.
