We offer Stop Out Protection for all trading accounts while setting stop out at 0%. The combination of these give you the flexibility to apply the trading strategy you want without unnecessary limitations.
Stop Out Protection is not supported for clients registered with our Kenyan entity (Exness (KE) Limited).
0% stop out
All trading account types are set at 0% for stop out, meaning automatic closure of orders occurs when the trading account margin level reaches 0% or equity drops to zero.
Our approach is unique in the industry, while most brokerages tend to set stop outs around 10-30%. Typically this results in orders closing by stop out while funds are still available to maintain them. With 0% stop out set your orders stay open longer, giving you more time to act, or for the market to potentially turn in your favor.
0% stop out is not supported in some countries; please confirm if this feature is available in your region.

Stop Out Protection
Stop Out Protection is a feature we offer that helps delay and sometimes completely avoid stop outs. This can be important during periods of high volatility or spread widening, which could put your orders at risk.
Stop Out Protection advantages
Market volatility may cause spreads to widen, posing a risk to your orders. Stop Out Protection reduces the probability of stop outs due to the widening spread.
If the market starts moving against your orders, risking a stop out, Stop out Protection keeps your trades open longer. This gives you more time to decide whether to close some orders, add funds to your trading account, or wait for the market to turn in your favor.
Exness offers dynamic spreads or real-time spreads and will not artificially widen spreads to trigger stop outs. The existence of Stop Out Protection proves that. We're committed to providing a fair and safe trading environment for our clients.
Feature availability
We offer Stop Out Protection as an extra benefit to our traders, however it's important to note that it might not always be available to all clients at all times. Availability is determined by our mathematical models that assess your trading conditions and activity. It may also be disabled if your trading strategy heavily relies on it or is misused.
About commissioned account types
If you trade on a Raw Spread or Zero account with a commission, Stop Out Protection takes your commission into account when calculating virtual funds.
With Stop Out Protection, you can trade confidently, knowing that this feature helps to delay and sometimes even prevent stop outs which is vital during times of market volatility and spread widening.
