The forex lot size for USD, EUR, and GBP pairs is 1000 in the native currency. Calculating the contract value for these forex pairs is straightforward. Simply multiply the lot size by the last traded price. For example:

  • USD-INR: 1000 x 79.8900 = 79,890
  • EUR-INR: 1000 x 79.4550 = 79,455
  • GBP-INR: 1000 x 92.0700 = 92,070

The JPY-INR lot size is 1,00,000 Yen and the way the contract value is calculated is also different. The forex rate is displayed for ¥100 Japanese Yen. This is how the contract value is calculated for JPY-INR:

  • JPY-INR: 1,00,000 x 55.6950 / 100 = 55,695
