Board lot
A quantity of shares that is equal to or a multiple of a set figure that is set by each exchange. For example, if ABC Plc only allows trades to be placed in lots of 500, then only multiples of 500 can be traded (500, 1,000, 1,500, 2,000).
For stocks under about $20 I would normally round that off as so many Board lots. For example I would usually buy 200 at $22 rather than 182 at $22. However, I have often bought lots of 150.
