Hey Kevin,

You’re welcome. If you are buying 50K EURUSD, you are using 50K EUR to buy the equivalent USD. The lot size is the number of units of the base currency, or the currency that is listed first.

Thank you for the useful article about volumes. I had one more question on this subject. With stocks, it is pretty straight forward that the volume is derived from the amount of stocks that are floating around. However, when we are talking about currency units where is this information based upon? When we look at the EUR/USD pair for example and the volume is 50,000 currency units, does this mean there is 50,000 euro being traded or 50,000 dollar? For me the first answer sounds more logical, but this is a question that I was asking myself and I could not get a definite answer. Hopefully you can give more clarification on this.

Kind regards,

Kevin
