What is Exness Unlimited Leverage?

Exness offers unlimited leverage for multiple real trading accounts, including:

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

However, not all customers in all regions can use unlimited leverage. For example, the maximum leverage for users in Kenya is 1:400.

What are the conditions for activating Exness Unlimited Leverage?

To enable the unlimited leverage feature in an Exness real account, you must meet the following three requirements:

• The account equity is less than $1,000.
• At least 10 closed trades (excluding pending orders) have been completed.
• The total trading volume has accumulated to 5 standard lots (or 500 cent lots).

If the requirements are not met, the system will automatically display it as “greyed out” and unavailable, and prompt you for the missing conditions.

Can I use unlimited leverage on a demo account?

Yes! As long as the equity of the demo account is less than $1,000 (i.e., $999.99 or less), you can use the unlimited leverage feature for practice.

How to adjust the leverage settings of an Exness account?

1. Log in to your Exness Personal Area.
2. Select the target account and click on the “three - dot icon” on the right.
3. Select “Change max leverage”.
4. Select the default leverage or a custom leverage value.
5. Confirm and save the settings.

The system will automatically dynamically adjust the leverage ceiling based on the equity or market fluctuations.

Please note: If there are open orders in your account, changing the leverage will immediately affect the margin.

The relationship between leverage and equity

Exness automatically adjusts the maximum available leverage based on the account equity. The rules are as follows:

Note: The higher the leverage, the lower the margin requirement, but the risk also increases significantly.

How to calculate margin and leverage

Margin is the amount of money frozen for opening a position and is directly related to leverage.

• When using leverage: Margin = Lot size × Contract size ÷ Leverage ratio
• When not using leverage: Margin = Lot size × Contract size × Required margin percentage

Example: Trading 1 lot of EUR/USD (contract size 100,000) with 1:2000 leverage:

Margin = 1 × 100,000 / 2000 = $50

If the leverage is 1:500, the margin is $200.

The higher the leverage, the less capital is used, but the risk brought by fluctuations is greater.

Exness also provides an online margin calculator to help you quickly calculate the capital requirements for each trade.

Risk warnings for using unlimited leverage

Although unlimited leverage amplifies trading potential, it also brings the following risks:

• 📉 A small fluctuation may lead to a margin call.

• 🧠 Emotional fluctuations intensify, making it easy to make decision - making mistakes.

• 🧾 It is not suitable for novice traders or those with significant financial pressure.

It is recommended to use the high - leverage mode after mastering risk management strategies proficiently. Exness also provides tools such as stop - loss and take - profit to help reduce the probability of a margin call.
