Spread Structures and Pricing Models

Variable Spread Implementation

Spreads on our platform fluctuate according to market liquidity and volatility. During key economic events or opening hours, spreads may widen briefly to reflect actual market conditions and reduce slippage risk. Standard accounts maintain spreads like EUR/USD starting at 0.3 pips and AUD/USD from 0.6 pips under normal conditions. Pro accounts offer tighter spreads with EUR/USD from 0.1 pips, suited for scalping and frequent trades.

Commission-Based Pricing

The Raw Spread account uses direct interbank spreads without markups, charging a fixed commission of $3.50 per lot per side. This transparent pricing benefits high-frequency traders who prefer predictable transaction costs. Commissions scale proportionally for mini and micro lots. Both opening and closing trades incur fees, amounting to $7.00 per round trip on standard lots.

How to Monitor Spreads

Traders can view real-time spreads within the MetaTrader platform by enabling the spread indicator on charts. Alternatively, the Exness Personal Area displays current spreads across instruments, updated every second. This helps Filipino traders manage entry and exit points more effectively.

Our platform allows switching between account types with a simple request via the dashboard. This flexibility supports adapting to evolving trading strategies without complex re-registration.

Leverage Options and Margin Requirements

Leverage Flexibility

Exness offers leverage from 1:2 to a maximum of 1:2000, adjustable based on account equity and instrument type. Major currency pairs support 1:2000 leverage for accounts below $20,000. Accounts exceeding this balance automatically shift to 1:1000 to enhance risk control. Precious metals like gold and silver maintain 1:2000 leverage regardless of account size.

Margin Calculations

Margin requirements are calculated using the formula: (lot size × contract size × current price) ÷ leverage. This dynamic system updates free margin in real-time, ensuring accurate risk management. Margin calls trigger at 60% free margin, while stop-out occurs at 0% to protect trader funds.

Margin Requirements by Instrument

To adjust leverage, traders can access the Personal Area and select preferred leverage levels within allowed limits. Changes take effect immediately, allowing precise control of trade exposure.

Order Execution Technology

Market Execution Model

Our platform executes orders instantly at prevailing market prices without requotes or manual intervention. We aggregate liquidity from tier-1 banks, ECNs, and prime brokers to ensure best execution. Average order execution time is 0.178 milliseconds, with over 99% of trades filled within one second.

Supported Order Types

Orders include market, buy/sell limit, buy/sell stop, and advanced trailing stops. Conditions for pending orders can be set within the MetaTrader interface, triggering execution automatically when prices meet predefined levels.

Slippage Protection

Our system employs smart order routing and volatility filters to minimize negative slippage. Positive slippage benefits are passed directly to traders. During volatile news releases, temporary price filters prevent excessive deviation from expected fills.

Traders can place orders directly through MT4/MT5 terminals or the Exness Web Terminal. Both support one-click trading and allow quick modification or cancellation of pending orders.

Trading Hours and Market Access

Exness offers continuous market access Monday to Friday, with cryptocurrency markets open 24/7 including weekends. Filipino traders operate within GMT+8 time zone, with forex sessions starting Sunday 06:05 PHT and ending Friday 05:00 PHT. Trading hours vary by instrument, reflecting underlying exchange schedules.

Forex and metals markets pause briefly daily for maintenance from 05:00 to 05:05 PHT. Cryptocurrency pairs remain accessible without interruption but may exhibit wider spreads during weekends due to lower liquidity.

Accessing markets requires logging into the Exness platform during active sessions. The Web Terminal and mobile apps display real-time market hours and countdown timers for session openings and closings.

Traders should consider session overlaps to maximize liquidity and tighter spreads. Our platform highlights active trading sessions for easier market timing.

Swap Rates and Overnight Financing

Interest Rate Calculations

Swap rates reflect interbank interest differentials adjusted by administrative margins. They update daily at 05:00 PHT to incorporate central bank policy changes. Traders holding positions overnight may earn or pay swap depending on currency pair directions and interest rate differentials.

Triple Swap on Wednesdays

Positions held overnight on Wednesdays incur triple swaps to account for weekend interest accumulation. This standard procedure ensures accurate financing charges despite market closures.

Islamic Account Options

Islamic accounts feature zero swap fees, complying with Sharia law. These accounts maintain identical trading conditions except for overnight financing, catering to traders requiring compliant options.

Swap rates can be viewed within the MetaTrader platform’s Market Watch or through our Personal Area swap calculator tool. This allows Filipino traders to assess overnight costs before opening positions.

Risk Management Tools

Our platform integrates multiple risk controls to safeguard trader equity. Stop-loss orders automatically close trades once loss thresholds are reached, while take-profit orders secure gains at set price levels. Trailing stops adjust automatically, maintaining profit protection as prices move favorably.

Margin calls activate at 60% free margin, alerting traders to add funds or reduce exposure. Stop-out triggers at 0%, closing losing positions to prevent negative balances. Negative balance protection guarantees accounts cannot fall below zero.

Maximum position limits are enforced to prevent excessive exposure on single instruments. These limits vary by account type and instrument, ensuring balanced risk distribution.

Using the Personal Area, traders can monitor margin levels and risk alerts in real-time, enabling timely decisions to maintain account health.
