Unlimited Leverage at Exness

Exness offers unlimited leverage on certain account types, these include Standard Cent, Standard, Pro, Raw Spread and Zero accounts.

However, there are restrictions on the use of leverage for clients in certain regions, for example, clients registered in Kenya have a maximum leverage of 1:400. unlimited leverage is also available for demo account users with a net worth of less than $1,000.

When leverage is adjusted, especially on open trades, margin is adjusted accordingly, so traders need to keep an eye on their equity levels to avoid potential margin call notices.

Unlimited leverage is not available for all Exness accounts. It is limited to the following account types:

• Standard Cent
• Standard
• Pro
• Raw Spread
• Zero

For clients registered in Kenya, the maximum leverage is capped at 1:400.

Conditions for Unlimited Leverage

To activate unlimited leverage, certain conditions must be met:

• The equity of the real account (MT4 or MT5) must not exceed $1,000.
• The trader must have at least 10 closed trades, excluding pending orders.
• The cumulative trading volume of closed orders in all real accounts linked to the trader’s personal area must be 5 lots or more (or 500 cents lots).

If these conditions are not met, the unlimited leverage option will appear as inactive or greyed out in the settings. The unmet requirements will be clearly highlighted on the interface.

Unlimited Leverage in Demo Accounts

For traders practicing with demo accounts, if the equity is set below $1,000 (specifically $999.99 or lower), they can still experience the thrill and strategy of unlimited leverage trading.

Adjusting Leverage

Exness allows traders to flexibly adjust leverage according to their strategy or comfort level. The steps to adjust leverage are as follows:

1. Log in to your Exness personal area.
2. Select the trading account, click on the three-dot icon, and choose "Change max leverage".
3. Select the desired leverage from the dropdown menu and confirm your choice.

Traders can also define custom leverage by selecting the "Custom" option, but standard terms and conditions apply to this setting.

Relationship Between Leverage and Equity

There is a dynamic relationship between leverage and equity. When adjusting leverage, especially with open orders, the margin required for these orders will be recalculated based on the new leverage. The available maximum leverage varies with different equity levels:

Leverage is automatically adjusted based on a range of factors, from the trader's equity to significant global economic events.

Calculating Margin and Leverage

Margin is the collateral that traders provide to cover potential losses. Changing leverage affects the margin, which can influence trading strategies and the freedom to open new orders.

• With leverage: Margin = Lots × Contract Size / Leverage
• Without leverage: Margin = Lots × Contract Size × Required Margin

Exness provides various tools to help understand and calculate margin requirements, including an intuitive investment calculator.

Unlimited leverage is a powerful feature offered by Exness that can significantly amplify trading results. However, it is crucial for traders to fully understand how it works and the risks involved to maximize the benefits of this feature.
