Trading Units Versus Lots

Trading in units is similar to trading in lots. The difference is that you can place large orders in lots as one order in units.

For example:

<unit commodity="F.EP" lotsInUnit="10"/>

In this case, placing an order for 1 unit is the same as placing an order for ten lots.

To trade in units, you first need to enable units trading and upload an xml conversion file.

Please note that unit trading must be enabled and the conversion file must be valid in order for unit trading components to be active on order entry and management windows.
