Exness Unlimited Leverage

Up to 1:2000 for Major Currency Pairs

Exness provides leverage up to 1:2000 for major currency pairs like EUR/USD and USD/JPY, allowing traders to amplify their market exposure. Higher leverage means smaller price moves can lead to bigger profits or losses. Use the Exness Trader’s Calculator to estimate margins and plan trades.

Leverage by Instrument Type

Leverage varies by market at Exness. Forex and metals often allow unlimited leverage, while stocks, cryptocurrencies, commodities, and indices have fixed limits. Always check specific rules for each asset to align with your strategy.

Forex Pairs Leverage Options

Exness offers unlimited leverage on forex pairs for accounts with less than $1,000 in equity, letting traders open large positions with minimal funds. For example, with 1:2000 leverage, a $1,000 deposit controls $2,000,000 in trades. During high-volatility events like news releases, leverage may drop to 1:200 to reduce risk. Test high-leverage forex trades on a demo account to understand margin needs and avoid overexposure.

Stock CFDs Leverage Limits

Stock CFDs at Exness have a maximum leverage of 1:20, lower than forex due to higher volatility and risk. This limit helps manage exposure to stocks like Apple or Tesla, where price swings can be significant. Traders should monitor margin requirements closely, as stock CFDs require more capital to open positions. Use a demo account to practice trading stocks with fixed leverage to balance risk and reward.

Cryptocurrency Leverage Rules

Exness sets cryptocurrency leverage up to 1:400 for assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum, reflecting their volatile nature. This allows traders to capitalize on crypto price swings with less capital, but sudden market drops can wipe out funds. Check specific margin requirements, as they remain fixed regardless of leverage. Practice crypto trading on a demo to gauge price movements and set stop-loss orders.

Commodities & Indices Leverage

Commodities like gold and oil, and indices like the S&P 500, have leverage up to 1:200 at Exness. These markets require fixed margin, unaffected by unlimited leverage, to account for price fluctuations. For example, trading 0.2 lots of gold with 1:200 leverage needs less margin than stocks but more than forex. Use the Exness calculator to estimate costs and test strategies on a demo for stable trading.

How Exness Leverage Really Works

Leverage amplifies your trading power by borrowing funds from Exness to open larger positions. For a $10 deposit controls $20,000, but a 0.05% loss ($10) wipes out your margin. How it works:

1. Choose leverage in the Personal Area (1:10 to 1:2000).
2. Open a trade, and Exness covers the borrowed amount.
3. Profits or losses are based on the full position size.

Higher leverage means higher risk, so set stop-loss orders. Practice in a demo with leverage on EUR/USD to see how small moves affect your balance. Monitor margin levels to avoid stop-outs.

Leverage vs Account Balance

Leverage limits depend on your account balance. Higher balances unlock higher ratios, but rules vary by account type.

$1000+ Balance Leverage Rules

Accounts with $1,000 more qualify for maximum leverage up to 1:2000 on all account types. Rules include:

1. Maintain $1,000+ equity to keep high leverage.
2. Leverage drops to 1:1000 if balance falls below $1,000.
3. Monitor margin in the Personal Area to avoid restrictions.

This applies to Standard, Zero, or Pro accounts. Practice managing a $1,000 demo balance to test high leverage. Adjust positions if your balance dips to maintain ratios.

Professional Account Leverage

Pro, Raw Spread, and Zero accounts offer 1:2000 leverage, even with lower balances ($200 deposit). Benefits:

1. High leverage for smaller deposits.
2. Tighter spreads (0.1–0.0 pips) for cost efficiency.
3. Fast execution for scalping or day trading.

These accounts suit experienced traders but require careful risk management. Test leverage in a Pro demo to practice large positions with small capital.

Risk Management with High Leverage

High leverage like 1:2000 or unlimited can boost profits but also magnifies losses, especially in volatile markets. Exness provides tools like stop-loss orders, negative balance protection, and margin calculators to manage risks. Always set stop-losses and trade small positions to limit losses. Practice risk management on a demo to build discipline before using high leverage in live trading.

Leveraging Different Account Types

Exness account types – Standard, Standard Cent, Raw Spread, Zero, and Pro support different leverage levels. Standard and Standard Cent offer unlimited leverage for forex and metals, ideal for beginners with small budgets. Raw Spread and Zero provide with tight spreads for active traders, while Pro suits professionals with instant execution. Choose an account based on your experience and risk tolerance.

Standard vs Pro Account Leverage

Both Standard and Pro accounts offer leverage, but differ in costs and features.

Standard is cheaper to start, while Pro offers tighter spreads for larger trades. Practice both in a demo to compare how leverage performs with different spreads. Start with Standard for small deposits and low risk.

Real Trading Examples

High leverage creates big profit potential but also high risks. Traders can learn from these scenarios to plan trades.

Profit Potential Scenarios

With leverage, small deposits yield big returns if trades go your way.

1. $10 on EUR/USD: A 50-pip gain (0.5%) on a 1-lot trade earns $500.
2. $100 on Gold: A $5 price move on a 1-lot trade nets $500.
3. $200 on Bitcoin: A 5% rise on a 0.1-lot trade gains $200.

These assume perfect entries and exits, which are rare. Practice these trades in a demo to test profit targets and stop-loss settings. Always account for spreads and commissions.

Loss Risk Examples

High leverage can lead to fast losses without proper risk management. 

1. $10 on EUR/USD: A 5-pip loss (0.05%) on a 1-lot trade wipes out $50 (your entire balance).
2. $100 on Gold: A $1 drop on a 1-lot trade loses $100.
3. $200 on Bitcoin: A 2% drop on a 0.1-lot trade loses $80.

Use stop-loss orders to cap losses. Practice these scenarios in a demo with leverage to understand risk exposure. Start live trades with small lots (0.01) to stay safe.
