Changes in Capital Requirements: With an Increase in Lot Size, traders will need more capital to initiate positions. This could make it difficult for small traders or those with limited funds to participate in the market.
Liquidity and Volatility: An increase lot size will impact market liquidity. larger lot sizes might limit trading to larger, institutional players, which could impact liquidity and increase market volatility.
Scalping and Intraday Trading: Changes in lot size may alter the risk-reward ratio for strategies like scalping. A larger lot size could increase potential profits but also magnify losses.
