Trading stocks is done though board lot or round lot system, which means there is a minimum number of shares one can buy or sell at a specific price range.
The Board Lot Table determines the minimum number of shares one can purchase or sell at a specific price range. Therefore, the minimum amount needed to invest in the stock market varies and will depend on the market price of the security as well as its corresponding board lot. Prices of stocks move through a scale of minimum price fluctuations.
The Philippine Stock Exchange uses the Board Lot Table.
