Investopedia explains 'Mini-Lot'

Mini-accounts are not limited to only trading with one mini-lot at a time. To make an equivalent trade to a one standard-lot, a trader can trade 10 mini-lots. By using mini-lots instead of standard-lots, a trader can customize the trade, and have greater control of their risk exposure.
