About Exness's Execution Capabilities

Exness offers consistently high order execution performance. Since order execution performance is a key factor to consider when choosing an FX broker, please review our explanation of what exactly order execution performance entails.

What Is Execution Capacity?

Execution quality refers to the accuracy with which orders are filled at the desired price. If execution quality is low, a difference (slippage) occurs between the order price and the execution price, making it difficult to trade according to your strategy; therefore, execution quality is extremely important for traders.To minimize price deviations as much as possible and ensure orders are executed at your desired price, you need to trade with an FX broker—such as Exness—that has a proven track record of high execution quality. Specifically, since execution quality depends on the following trading conditions, we recommend checking these factors in advance.

Among the trading environment factors that affect order execution, traders cannot change the “order execution method” or “trading server infrastructure.” Please check the trading environment in advance and select an FX broker that offers stable order execution.

Execution Capacity and Slippage

Exness offers industry-leading execution capabilities; however, since foreign exchange rates are constantly fluctuating, slippage may occur. Slippage refers to the phenomenon where a discrepancy arises between the order price and the execution price. Since slippage in an unfavorable direction can lead to larger losses, it is advantageous to keep slippage as minimal as possible.

In particular, around the time of major economic indicator releases or events, market volatility tends to increase, making slippage more likely to occur. Please familiarize yourself in advance with the timing of major economic indicator releases and other events so that you can trade while avoiding slippage.

Execution Capacity and Execution Speed

Exness offers not only high execution accuracy but also ultra-fast execution speeds.While “execution accuracy” and “execution speed” are similar terms, they have subtly different nuances: execution accuracy refers to the “precision” with which orders are filled, whereas execution speed refers to the “speed” at which orders are executed. Furthermore, high execution accuracy does not necessarily correlate with fast execution speed; therefore, it is important to trade in an environment where both execution accuracy and execution speed are excellent.

At Exness, we use the “NDD” order execution method, which offers ultra-fast order execution.The NDD method is a highly transparent and fair order execution method that routes orders directly to the interbank market without the involvement of a dealer. Additionally, the NDD method is divided into two types: “Market Execution” and “Instant Execution.” Since each has different characteristics, please review the features of each order execution method in advance.

Execution Capacity and Spreads

Exness has achieved high execution capabilities and fast execution speeds, enabling clients to trade with spreads as low as 0.0 pips—among the narrowest in the industry.Boasting industry-leading execution capabilities and speed, Exness is the choice of many traders and is able to offer stable, low spreads thanks to its high trading volume and liquidity.

Exness’s No. 1 most popular account type, the “Standard Account,” and the “Standard Cent Account,” which allows trading in lots as small as 10 currency units, are characterized by spreads that are approximately 0.5 to 1.0 pips lower than the standard spreads offered by other brokers.The “Low Spread Account” and “Zero Account,” designed for intermediate to advanced traders, offer ultra-low spreads starting at 0.0 pips, while the “Pro Account” offers spreads starting at 0.1 pips.The narrower the spread, the more advantageous it is for traders, making it particularly well-suited for scalpers who accumulate small profits. Since high execution power tends to result in narrower spreads, we invite you to enjoy trading in a comfortable environment with low transaction costs.

Why Exness Is Able to Deliver High Execution Performance

Exness provides a trading environment that delivers consistently high execution performance and millisecond-level execution speeds. Here’s why Exness is able to achieve industry-leading execution performance and ultra-fast execution:

Reason 1: Trading servers are located in five countries around the world

One of the reasons behind Exness’s high execution capability and ultra-fast execution speed is the number of trading servers it operates. Exness operates dedicated trading servers in five locations—Amsterdam, Hong Kong, Singapore, Miami, and Johannesburg—enabling you to trade in a stable environment no matter where you are in the world.

Generally, the farther the distance between a device and a trading server, the slower the connection speed becomes, and the higher the risk of slippage and requotes. While many brokers operate trading servers only in Europe and the United States, Exness has established trading servers in Hong Kong and Singapore as well, focusing on improving the trading environment for the Asian region, including Japan.We invite you to enjoy trading with Exness, which offers the fastest and most stable trading environment.

Reason 2: We use a highly transparent NDD model

One of the reasons for Exness’s high execution performance is its order execution method. Exness employs the NDD (No Dealing Desk) method, which allows you to trade using an order execution system that seamlessly routes your orders to the interbank market without broker intervention.Since there is no broker intervention in Exness’s order execution system, it offers high transparency and boasts ultra-fast execution speeds.

Please note that Exness’s NDD system offers two types of order execution: “Market Execution” and “Instant Execution.” Exness’s Standard, Standard Cent, Low Spread, and Zero accounts use Market Execution, allowing you to trade without requotes.The Pro account is the only one that allows you to trade using “Instant Execution,” an order execution method that minimizes slippage and tends to execute orders at the requested price.Since scalpers aiming for small profits want to avoid slippage, Instant Execution is recommended based solely on the order execution method. However, since Exness’s five account types each have different trading conditions—such as spreads and transaction fees—please select the account type that best suits your trading style.

Reason 3: Management of the Trading Environment Enhancement Team

In 2021, Exness launched its “Trading Platform Enhancement Team” and has been working to improve the trading environment to ensure customer satisfaction at all times. In particular, the company is focusing on improving the trading environment in the Asian region, including Japan, and the installation of trading servers in Hong Kong and Singapore is part of this team’s trading environment improvement project.Exness’s Trading Platform Enhancement Team has appointed Mr. Damian Vance as project leader. Mr. Vance has a distinguished career as an electronic trading professional at leading financial institutions such as Goldman Sachs and UBS.Mr. Vance previously served as Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) at Saxo Bank, where he managed staff and branches across 19 countries, and has a proven track record of providing trading platforms and algorithms to government agencies and other organizations. Led by the Trading Environment Enhancement Team, Exness now offers an industry-leading trading environment and even higher order execution capabilities than ever before. We invite you to enjoy trading with us.

About Exness's Requotes

At Exness, requotes generally do not occur; however, depending on your account type and order execution method, requotes may occur. Please review the causes of requotes and how to avoid them before trading.

What is a Requote?

A requote refers to a situation where a new price is quoted when an order cannot be executed at the price requested by the client. At Exness, we generally provide stable order execution with no requotes; however, requotes may occur only with the “Instant Execution” order execution method for Pro accounts.Re-quotes are displayed on the trading screen for 3 seconds. If you wish to accept the order at the quoted price, select “Accept.” If you select “Reject” or do not take any action within 3 seconds, the order will be canceled.

Causes of Requotes

Re-quotes may occur when you place trades during sudden market fluctuations caused by major economic indicators, news affecting the international situation, or natural disasters. In addition, re-quotes may occur if your internet connection is poor, as delays in sending or receiving orders due to slow connection speeds or an unstable connection can trigger re-quotes.

At Exness, trading is generally conducted without requotes; however, requotes may occur only when you select “Instant Execution” for a Pro account. For all other account types, “Market Execution” is used, so requotes do not occur.If you wish to trade without requotes, please select an account type other than the Pro account. Please note that for Pro accounts on MT5, you can choose between Instant Execution and Market Execution when opening your account.

Features of Exness Account Types

How to Avoid Requotes

At Exness, trading with Market Execution ensures that your orders are filled without requotes. If you want to avoid requotes when using Instant Execution, you can minimize the risk of requotes by avoiding trading during periods of high market volatility or with highly volatile currency pairs.Additionally, since requotes occur only with market orders placed via Instant Execution, you can also avoid them by placing limit or stop orders.

In addition, by using the VPS (Virtual Private Server) provided by Exness, you can trade with fast execution speeds and a stable internet connection.By utilizing Exness’s VPS to avoid order delays, you can minimize the occurrence of requotes. Please note that certain conditions apply to using Exness’s VPS for free, so please review the terms and conditions for free VPS use in advance.

For scalpers, the accuracy (execution capability) to execute orders at the exact moment they intend is essential; without trading conditions suited to scalping, it becomes difficult to accumulate profits efficiently.Exness offers account types that allow you to choose Instant Execution—which eliminates slippage—in addition to industry-leading execution power and speed, providing the ideal trading conditions for scalping.
