Which account is open — and the label that tells you (Philippines)
A phone shows one account at a time. The list holds several, the screens after a switch look identical, and the only thing standing between them is a short label above the balance. This page is about reading it.
Every order you place belongs to whichever account was selected at the time, and on a small display that selection is a label rather than a view — nothing else on the screen changes when it changes. Practically, the label decides two things you will meet immediately: how small a trade the size field will accept, and whether a minimum applies before money is sent. Standard and Standard Cent have no minimum initial deposit; Pro, Raw Spread and Zero have a region-based one, stated on the screen where the account is chosen.
Before each order: what you see, what to check, what to do
| What is on the screen | What to check | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| A balance, with a label above it | That the label is the account you meant to be in | If it is not, switch first — never adjust the order to fit the wrong one |
| A size field that refuses your figure | Whether the figure is below what this account will take | Rewrite the same trade in the smaller unit, or leave the figure alone and rethink the trade |
| A pip value that looks wrong by a factor | The label again — units differ by about a hundred between them | Read the label, not the figure; the figure is telling the truth about the account it is on |
| Two accounts with similar names in one list | The full label, to its last word, not the first two | Open the one you want and confirm the balance matches before anything else |
| A screen that looks exactly as it did a minute ago | Nothing else — that is expected after a switch | Treat the label as the confirmation. There is no second signal on this display |
The failure this screen makes easy
It is not choosing a name badly. It is placing a correct order on the account you were not in — the size right, the exit right, the label unread. On a bigger display several accounts can sit in view together and the mistake announces itself. A phone shows one at a time, so the wrong account looks exactly like the right one until the row appears somewhere you were not expecting it.
The habit that removes it is one glance in a fixed place: label first, balance second, then the order. It costs a second and it is the only check on this screen that cannot be done afterwards.

Let the size ask the question
Run your figure through the size form before opening the list. A result the size field will not take is an answer about which unit you need, not an error to round away.
-
Read minimums where they are stated
The screen where an account is chosen shows what applies to you, and it is the only correct source. A figure copied into an article would be wrong for someone reading it elsewhere.
-
Place one practice order after switching
A single order on a demo shows the new unit doing its work — the size field, the pip figure, the row that appears. One look is faster than any description of it.
-
Keep the check in the same place every time
A habit that moves around the screen is not a habit. Same glance, same corner, before every order, including the ones you are sure about.
What will not fit on this screen at all
Reading several accounts side by side is the one job here a phone cannot do. Conditions arrive one column at a time, so a name reached by scrolling reads as a step up from the one above it rather than as a different account for a different job — the order of the list starts doing the arguing.
Where that comparison actually matters, it belongs in the Exness personal area, opened on a bigger display, with the lines beside each other. That is not a limitation worth working around with a longer scroll; it is a job for another screen, done once, before anything is opened.
What this page deliberately does not print
- A figure for the professional minimums. They are region-based and shown at the point of choosing; a number copied here would be wrong for someone.
- A recommendation. The account whose smallest trade is not bigger than the mistake you can afford is the one to open, and that reading is yours to do.
- A cost comparison by name. The order screen prices your order on your account, which is the only comparison that applies to you.
- Any promise attached to a label. Many people lose money when they start trading. No line in the app changes that — it changes the size of each lesson.
Questions about the account line
Where does the label appear?
Above the balance, in the same list where demo and real accounts are shown. It applies to every order placed while that account is selected.
Is there a minimum deposit?
Standard and Standard Cent have no minimum initial deposit. Pro, Raw Spread and Zero have a region-based one, displayed before anything is paid.
Nothing changed on the screen after I switched. Did it work?
Very likely, and that is the point of this page: the label is the confirmation. If it reads as you intended, the next order belongs there.
The pip figure looks about a hundred times off.
Check the label before the figure. A cent unit counts a position about a hundred times smaller, and the screen is reporting the account it is actually on.
My calculated size came back under 0.01.
The smallest Standard trade sits at 0.01, so a smaller result is pointing at the smaller unit rather than at rounding your figure upwards.
Can I hold more than one account at a time?
They are listed together, and another can be added. What cannot be undone is an order already placed on the one that was open.
Does the label change the prices in the quotes list?
The market is the market. What the account fixes is the unit and the minimums, not where a price goes.
Where can several accounts be compared properly?
In the Exness personal area, on a display wide enough to hold the lines together. A phone will show them one after another.
Does the choice affect verification?
No. Verification is the identity check Exness runs before real trading, whichever account is opened.
Do I have to decide before opening a demo?
No — a demo can be opened first, and it is the cheapest way to see what a unit feels like in the size field.
