Exness offers leverage of up to 2,000x. To create a trading environment that benefits our clients, we provide industry-leading leverage of up to 2,000x, allowing you to aim for significant profits with less capital.However, high leverage involves higher risk, and you may lose all of your invested capital. Please ensure you fully understand the risks before trading. Additionally, please note that Exness may impose leverage restrictions in certain cases, so please review the details in advance.

"Leverage" is a term that refers to the "principle of the lever," in which a small force is used to move a large object.In FX trading, “leverage” refers to a system that allows you to trade amounts many times greater than your initial capital. While the maximum leverage available through domestic FX brokers is limited to 25x, Exness—which is based overseas—allows you to trade with industry-leading leverage of up to 2,000x.

At Exness, you can trade with leverage of up to 2,000x. All account types allow you to use leverage of up to 2,000x. Exness leverage can be set anywhere from a minimum of 2x to a maximum of 2,000x, allowing you to choose the level that best suits your trading style.

Since domestic FX brokers limit maximum leverage to 25x, Exness is an attractive option for those who wish to trade with higher levels of leverage. Take advantage of Exness’s maximum leverage of 2,000x and experience high-leverage trading for yourself.

The margin requirement refers to the funds needed to trade a certain volume, and there is a close relationship between leverage and the margin requirement. Specifically, the higher the leverage, the lower the margin requirement. If we compare FX trading with 1x leverage to trading with 100x leverage, the effect of leverage becomes immediately apparent.With 1x leverage, you can trade 100,000 yen using 100,000 yen in available funds, but with 100x leverage, you can trade 10 million yen using just 100,000 yen. As the trading volume increases, so does the potential profit.

For example, suppose you invest 100,000 yen when the exchange rate is 100 yen per dollar, and the dollar rises to 101 yen. With 1x leverage, you would earn a profit of 1,000 yen: (1,000 dollars [100,000 yen ÷ 100 yen]) × 101 yen. In contrast,with 100x leverage, you would trade 100,000 dollars (100,000 yen × 100 ÷ 100 yen) × 101 yen, resulting in a profit of 100,000 yen.

At Exness, leverage restrictions are enforced from 15 minutes before to 90 seconds after the release of major economic news, during which time the maximum leverage is limited to 200x.

Economic indicators and statements by key figures reflect the economic conditions and outlook of various countries; depending on the results, they can have a significant impact on the market and may cause sharp price fluctuations.To mitigate the risk of temporary margin depletion caused by excessive volatility, Exness implements leverage restrictions before and after major economic news releases, limiting the maximum leverage on open positions to 200x. Please be aware that these leverage restrictions may cause fluctuations in your margin maintenance ratio.

Exness imposes leverage restrictions from 3 hours before the FX market closes until 2 hours after it opens, limiting the maximum leverage to 200x.Before the market closes on Friday, many traders who do not want to carry positions over the weekend adjust their positions. Additionally, on Monday morning, prices may fluctuate significantly depending on market conditions over the weekend. Therefore, when trading around market close and open, you must exercise caution to ensure your positions are not forced to liquidate due to leverage restrictions.

When leverage restrictions are imposed, we will notify you via the email address you provided during registration with Exness or through the inbox in MetaTrader (MT4/MT5), so please be sure to check for these notifications before trading.

For U.S. stocks traded on Exness, leverage is limited to 5x during the 6 hours prior to earnings announcements and the 20 minutes following them. Please be aware that holding positions around the time of earnings announcements requires a significant amount of margin.

In addition, leverage is limited to 5x during the period from 15 minutes before the market closes until 20 minutes after it opens the following day.

At Exness, leverage of up to 2,000x allows you to make large trades with a small amount of capital; however, high-leverage trading also carries risks. To protect your valuable funds, Exness has established a risk management system specifically designed for ultra-high-leverage trading.Under our rigorous risk management system, you can enjoy dynamic trading with up to 2,000x leverage with complete peace of mind.

Exness employs a zero-cut system for all account types, allowing you to minimize the risk of losses from high-leverage trading. In particular, when trading with high leverage, sudden market surges or crashes can sometimes result in a negative balance before a forced stop-out can be triggered.However, with Exness’s Zero Cut System, even if a negative balance occurs, Exness will cover any losses exceeding your account balance and reset your balance to zero.

Even when using high leverage, you are not obligated to pay a margin call (additional margin). With Exness’s unique leverage of up to 2,000x, you can maximize your profits while limiting your risk of loss to the amount you have deposited, so please rest assured.

Exness’s stop-out level is set at a margin maintenance ratio of 0%.In high-leverage trading, sudden market fluctuations can cause the maintenance margin ratio to drop sharply, potentially causing it to fall below the stop-out level. However, with Exness’s 0% stop-out level, even if the market moves in an unexpected direction, you can continue trading until your margin is completely depleted.In other words, in high-leverage trading—which inherently carries risk—you can maximize the potential of your funds and trade with greater capital efficiency. Margin calls, which alert you to a decline in your maintenance margin ratio, vary by account type; please refer to the table below for details.

At Exness, even if a stop-out appears imminent due to sudden market fluctuations, the “Mid-Price Stop-Out” feature allows you to delay the forced stop-out by applying a spread discount.Specifically, by halving the spread value, a “virtual available margin” is created separate from your actual available margin, and the stop-out will not be triggered until this virtual available margin reaches 0 yen.While Exness’s stop-out mechanism is designed to protect your funds, it can result in you having to close out positions that might have turned a profit had the market reversed. Therefore, by delaying the stop-out using “stop-out at mid-price,” you can maximize your chances of making a profit while managing the risks associated with leverage of up to 2,000x.
