With regards to trading lots, "mini lots" is the tag used for Mini accounts. For a Standard FX account, the pip value is $10 meaning if the market moves fortunately for you in say 100 pips then you would make $1000. The Mini account has a much lower pip which is $1 so you simply get $100 from a advantageous movement of 100 pips.

Should you want a tinier account, there is the "Micro account". For only $25, you can start such an account. Here you profit $10 if the market moves favorably by 100 pips.
