From what I know, trading big lot size with little capital is definitely very risky. It takes just a little drawdown to wipe out your forex trading account. But when you have a big trading capital, trading a big lot can get you good profits even with little price movements.
Using a big lot size on a small account is just gambling. It may work but it may also wipe out your entire account. May as well go down the casino
Use lot size in accordance with the equity in your account. Make sure that you keep margin calls in mind. When you trade a small lot size, you can use a cut loss strategy but with larger lots, you have the risk of a big loss.

While trading, focusing on risk management is quite essential otherwise you can make your account zero immediately. Somewhere, trading larger lots shows the greed of a trader. It might look attractive but bites in the end. Better be careful about the decisions you make.

I trade small lots in different positions with oanda for a good edge in the market. You have the option of closing some and letting others run whenever the need be.

If you have experience in trading micro and mini lots, you can use the standard lot. But 100 lots is a big number according to me. Try your system on the micro account first and see whether it is worth increasing your lot size or not.
As you have asked it here, you will get answers one way or the other. But it’s how it worked for others. I suggest first test different trade entry methods with a backtesting program and forward test your system in live market conditions. For both of these, use your demo account and not the real money account.

Smaller positions are obviously a better option as you can scale out of them quite easily.

The choice of the right lot size depends on your success rate. Don’t skip things. If you have a success rate of 90% or more, bigger lots are an option. But if you are yet figuring out what works and what doesn’t, don’t waste your money on bigger lots. Go for smaller ones.

I think fewer trades are better as every time you trade, your broker takes away a certain amount in either commission or spread or both. Also, consider your risk to reward ratio. You don’t have to trade more frequently if you trade small lots.

Get the basics right first. Get the proper training and then, commit any hard earned money in forex.

It depends on your total capital and how much you are willing to trade and invest. If you have a higher capital, you can surely go with 100 lots.

Yes, that is the right way to start and you can easily trade as per your capital. It totally depends on you.
