0% stop out

All trading account types are set at 0% for stop out which means automatic closure of orders only occurs when the trading account margin level reaches 0% or equity drops to zero.

Our approach is unique in the industry, with most brokerages setting stop outs around 10-30%. Typically this results in orders being closed by stop out while funds in the account are still available.

With 0% stop out set by Exness your orders stay open in the market longer, which gives you more time to act, or for the market to potentially turn in your favor.

Stop Out Protection

Stop Out Protection helps delay and sometimes completely avoid stop outs, resulting in 30% fewer stop outs for Exness traders. This trading feature is especially important during periods of high volatility or spread widening, which could put your orders at risk.

How it works

When your equity drops to 0 and a stop out is about to happen, the feature adds virtual funds to your equity equal to half the spread of open trades, multiplied by their volume in lots.

To calculate these virtual funds, use the formula: (current spread / 2).

• Current spread = spread in pips x pip value
• Pip value = lots x contract size x pip size

Spread is calculated in account currency and pip value in quote currency.

Conversion rates can cause the discount to be different from manual calculations.

For example, if you buy 1 lot of XAUUSD with current spread as 20 USD, you'd receive 10 USD in virtual funds to protect your orders, calculated as (20USD / 2) = 10 USD.

This means your trades won't be closed by a stop-out until your account equity drops below -10 USD. If you see a negative equity on your trading platform, it means Stop Out Protection is working to save your trades.

Stop Out Protection advantages

1. No more stop outs due to spread widening

Sometimes market volatility can cause spreads to widen, posing risk to your orders. But with Stop Out Protection, you're covered. The wider the spread, the more virtual funds you receive to protect your trades.

In our example, if the spread increases from 20 USD to 30 USD, you'll receive 15 USD in virtual funds, calculated as (30USD / 2) = 15 USD. So your orders will not be closed until your equity falls below -15 USD.

No matter how much the spread widens, you won't be stopped out because of it.

2. More time to make decisions

If the market starts moving against your orders and you're at risk of a stop out, Stop out Protection keeps your trades open longer. This gives you extra time to decide what to do, whether it's closing some orders, adding funds to your account, or waiting for the market to turn in your favor.

3. No stop hunting

At Exness, we never 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 most of 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.

Commissioned account

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.

The formula is: (current spread + commission) / 2

For example, if you buy 1 lot of XAUUSD on a Raw Spread account with a total spread of 6.3 pips and a commission of 3.5 USD per lot, you'll have virtual funds of 6.65 USD to protect your orders, calculated as (6.3 USD + 3.5 USD + 3.5 USD) / 2 = 6.65 USD

In this case, your trades will only be closed by a stop out if your account equity drops below -6.65 USD.

So, with Stop Out Protection, you can trade more confidently, knowing that this feature helps to delay and sometimes even prevent stop outs which is especially important during times of market volatility and spread widening.

Slippage rule

The slippage rule is used to limit slippage for pending orders. The rule is applied when the requested price of a pending order differs from the market price at the time of execution. This is usually due to high volatility, low liquidity, or other market factors.

The slippage rule applies to the following account types: Standard Cent, Standard, Pro, Standard Plus, Raw Spread, and Zero accounts.

• When is the slippage rule applied?
• Which accounts and instruments are affected by the slippage rule?
• Slippage-free ranges for common currency pairs
• Examples of the slippage rule

When is the slippage rule applied?

The slippage rule is applied when the requested price specified in your pending order differs from the market price at the time of execution.

According to the rule, if the difference in pips between the market price at the time of execution and the requested price of your order is equal to or exceeds a certain number of pips (known as the slippage-free range) for a particular instrument, your order will be executed at the market price. If the difference is less than the slippage-free range, your order will be executed at your requested price.

Different trading instruments have different slippage-free ranges. (Refer to the table below)

Which accounts and instruments are affected by the slippage rule?

The slippage rule is applicable for the following instruments and accounts:

• All currency pairs with suffix -c (Standard Cent account)
• All currency pairs with suffix -m (Standard account) including Crypto, Energies, Stocks, and Indices.
• All currency pairs with suffix -z (Zero account) including Crypto, Energies, Stocks, and Indices.
• All currency pairs with no suffix (Pro account, Raw Spread, and Standard Plus) Crypto, Energies, Stocks, and Indices.

Slippage-free ranges for common currency pairs

Slippage-free ranges are dynamic and can vary from the values specified above based on market conditions and your trading activity. Any changes affect new and existing pending orders.

*Spread used is at the time of order execution; as per the example below.

Commission-based accounts (like Raw and Zero accounts) include the commission per lot per side into the calculation of the slippage-free range, along with spread (if applicable).

Read more about how commission works for information on commission-based trading accounts.

Examples of the slippage rule

You place stop loss (SL) on a Buy XAUUSD order at 1965.636 with a Pro account. There was a gap on the market or extremely high volatility and the price during execution of your stop loss order was 1965.626, 10 pips lower than the SL set.

As a result, the requested price (1965.636) of your pending order (stop loss) differs from the market price at the time of execution (1965.626), so should lead to execution with slippage.

However with our slippage rule, we execute at your requested price instead if the difference is within the slippage-free range; for XAUUSD this is 0 to 6x spread as per the table above.

If the spread is 20 pips for XAUUSD, the slippage-free range for XAUUSD is between 0 and 120 pips. The difference between requested price and market price during execution is 10 pips, which is lower than the maximum of 120 pips. Therefore your stop loss will be executed at your requested price instead of market price.

Please note that the slippage free range is dynamic and varies based on your trading activity and market conditions. Therefore the maximum slippage-free range can be lower than 10 pips, or even zero, and in such cases the stop loss would be executed at market price with slippage (1965.626 in this example).

Unlimited leverage

Unlimited leverage is the highest available leverage setting for all Exness account types. It is not available by default as it is recommended for experienced traders.

We recommend understanding what is leverage and leverage requirements before trading with unlimited leverage.

As unlimited leverage carries higher risks of loss, the following prerequisites are required for real trading accounts:

• The trading account must have funds (equity) of less than 1,000 USD.
• The trader must close at least 10 orders (excluding pending orders) with a minimum value of 5 lots (or 500 cent lots) across all real trading accounts in their Personal Area (PA).

To enable unlimited leverage for demo trading accounts, you must set your equity to any number less than 1,000 USD (equity amount of 999.99 USD or less).

Note: requirements are in place to limit risk exposure while offering experienced traders unlimited leverage.

The option to set unlimited leverage will appear in any qualifying trading account’s leverage settings once the criteria are met. Read more on how to change your leverage on your trading account.

Instruments unavailable for unlimited leverage:

• Exotic (currency pairs)
• Cryptocurrencies
• Commodities (Energies)
• Stocks
• Indices
• XPD (currency pairs)
• XPT (currency pairs)

These instruments have fixed margin requirements, so are not affected by unlimited leverage.

Note: Stop Out Protection may not be available for trading accounts set to unlimited leverage in order to strike a balance between trader benefits and risks. Click the link to learn more about Stop Out Protection.
