Features of the Standard Account (Standard/Cent Account)

Exness’s “Standard Account” and “Standard Cent Account”—the standard account types—offer a trading environment focused on high-leverage trading. By combining three advantageous trading conditions—up to 2,000x leverage, a minimum deposit of just $150, and a 0% margin call level—you can enjoy dynamic trading while maximizing capital efficiency, even with limited funds(*).

However, since the Standard Cent account uses cents as its unit—equivalent to 1/100 of a Standard account—the profits you can earn per trade are also smaller. The Standard Cent account is recommended for beginners looking to transition from demo to live trading, as well as for all traders who want to test new strategies. On the other hand, the Standard account is Exness’s flagship account type and is recommended for all traders—from beginners to advanced—who want to experience Exness’s high-performance trading environment.

(*) Leveraged trading involves high risk, and you may lose all of your invested capital. Please ensure you fully understand the risks before trading.

(*) Leveraged trading involves high risk, and you may lose all of your invested capital. Please ensure you fully understand the risks before trading.

Trade with low spreads starting at 0.3 pips

Exness’s Standard account offers low spreads starting from 0.3 pips. Thanks to its high execution power and fast execution speed, Exness allows you to trade with spreads that are approximately 0.5 to 1.0 pips lower than the standard spreads offered by other brokers.

Exness uses variable spreads, which narrow or widen depending on price fluctuations; however, on average, we offer spreads that are lower than standard. For example, you can trade major currency pairs such as USD/JPY at an average spread of 1.1 pips and EUR/USD at 1.0 pips.

Additionally, at Exness, you can trade the 10 most popular instruments among domestic traders at fixed spreads during 90% of trading hours (excluding periods of high market volatility). Depending on market conditions, we may offer spreads even lower than the fixed rates, ensuring that traders always have access to the best possible spreads.

No transaction fees and low costs

With Exness’s Standard Account, you can trade at low cost—paying only the spread, as there are no transaction fees. While most other brokers’ standard account types also offer commission-free trading, Exness’s Standard Account stands out because, despite being a standard account type, it features spreads as low as 0.3 pips, allowing you to trade at an even lower cost.

The "Pro Account," which is the premium tier above Exness's Standard Account, offers tight spreads starting at 0.1 pips and no trading commissions. From a cost perspective alone, the Pro Account is the better choice. However, since the Pro Account requires a minimum initial deposit of 1,000 USD (or equivalent), we recommend choosing an account type based on your investment amount and trading experience.

Exness offers the widest selection of tradable instruments

Exness’s Standard Account offers the widest range of tradable instruments among the five account types provided by Exness.You can trade over 90 currency pairs, covering not only major pairs with high market liquidity but also minor and exotic pairs. In addition, we offer a wide range of CFD instruments, including precious metals, energy, stocks, stock indices, and cryptocurrencies.

For FX currency pairs, we offer everything from popular major pairs to minor pairs. Meanwhile, for stock CFDs and cryptocurrency CFDs, MT5 offers a wider selection of tradable instruments than MT4. We recommend that you check the specific instruments you wish to trade before selecting a trading platform.

Features of the Standard Cent Account

Exness’s Standard Cent account allows you to trade with minimal risk, as the lot size is set at just 1,000 units. This account type is ideal for beginners who want to gain trading experience through live trading rather than a demo account, as well as for traders who wish to test new strategies in a real trading environment.

You can trade with a minimum of 10 units

Exness’s Standard Cent account has a low lot size of 1,000 units, allowing for small-scale trading starting from as little as 10 units.With the exception of the Standard Cent account, all other account types at Exness use a standard lot size of 100,000 units. The Standard Cent account, however, uses a lot size of 1 cent lot (100,000 cents, or $1,000)—which is 1/100th of a standard lot—allowing you to trade with as little as 0.01 cent lots (or $10), making it the lowest-risk option available.

Because the trade volume is small with a Standard Cent account, the profit you can earn per trade is also lower. However, just like with Standard and Professional accounts, you can trade with high leverage of up to 2,000:1 (*), allowing you to experience Exness’s dynamic trading firsthand.

(*) Leveraged trading involves high risk, and you may lose all of your invested capital. Please ensure you fully understand the risks before trading.
