cTrader: How to change the view from Units to Lots?

cTrader shows order sizes in units by default. Here’s how to switch the display to lots — for everything, or per asset class.

In short: open Settings from the bottom-left corner, go to Assets, and switch each asset class from Units to Lots.

1

Open Settings

Click the cog icon in the bottom left-hand corner of the cTrader window. By default, all order sizes are shown in Units rather than Lots.

2

Go to Assets

In the settings menu down the left-hand side, select Assets under the Application heading.

cTrader settings window open on the Assets tab, with the Lots options selected for each asset class

The Assets tab, with Lots selected for every asset class.

3

Select Lots

Choose Lots against Default Asset trading units to change everything at once. To set it per market instead, tick Set units per asset class and choose Lots for each one individually.

Asset classes
Metals (Spot) · Oil (Spot) · Forex (Spot) · Indices (Spot) · Cryptocurrencies

Changes are applied immediately — there’s no save button, and you can close the settings window straight away.

Why it matters: the Max Lot Rule for your account is set in lots, not units, so switching the display makes it far easier to check your position size against your limit before you trade.
