Exness offers leverage of up to 2,000x! Regulations and restrictions

Exness offers leverage of up to 2,000:1.To create a trading environment that benefits our clients, we have introduced 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.

The term "leverage" refers to the "principle of the lever," which allows a small force to move a large object. In FX trading, "leverage" refers to a mechanism that allows you to trade with an amount of money many times greater than your initial capital. While the maximum leverage available through domestic FX brokers is limited to 25x, Exness—a broker 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 2,000:1. This maximum leverage of 2,000:1 is available for all account types. Exness allows you to set your leverage anywhere from a minimum of 2:1 to a maximum of 2,000:1, so you can 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 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 and 100x leverage, the effect of leverage is immediately apparent.With 1x leverage, you can trade 100,000 yen using 100,000 yen in capital, 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 to the dollar, and the rate rises to 101 yen to the dollar.With 1x leverage, the profit would be 1,000 yen (1,000 USD [100,000 yen ÷ 100 yen] × 101 yen), whereas with 100x leverage, you could earn a profit of 100,000 yen (100,000 USD [100,000 yen × 100] ÷ 100 yen) × 101 yen.

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

Economic indicators and statements by key figures reflect the economic conditions and outlook of various countries. Depending on the results, these can have a significant impact on the market and may cause sharp price fluctuations. To mitigate the risk of temporary margin reductions 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 of changes in margin maintenance requirements resulting from these leverage restrictions.

At Exness, leverage restrictions are in effect from three hours before the FX market closes until two hours after it opens, during which time the maximum leverage is limited to 200:1.Before the market closes on Friday, many traders adjust their positions because they do not want to carry them over into the weekend. 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 be careful to ensure your positions are not liquidated due to leverage restrictions.

When leverage restrictions are imposed, we will notify you via the email address registered with Exness or through the inbox in MetaTrader (MT4/MT5), so please be sure to check 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 15 minutes before the market closes and the 20 minutes after it opens the following day.

At Exness, leverage of up to 2,000:1 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 framework, you can enjoy dynamic trading with leverage of up to 2,000:1 with 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 exceeding your account balance if the forced liquidation does not occur in time.However, with Exness’s zero-cut system, 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 required to pay a margin call. With Exness’s unique leverage of up to 2,000:1, 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 0% maintenance margin. In high-leverage trading, sudden market fluctuations can cause the maintenance margin to drop rapidly, 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 depleted. In other words, in high-leverage trading—which involves risk—you can maximize the potential of your capital and trade with enhanced capital efficiency. Margin calls, which alert you to a decline in the maintenance margin ratio, vary by account type; please refer to the table below for details.

At Exness, even if a stop-out is about to be triggered 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 in addition to the 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 the liquidation of positions that might have turned a profit if the market had reversed. Therefore, by delaying the stop-out using “Mid-Price Stop-Out,” you can maximize your chances of profiting while managing the risks associated with leverage of up to 2,000x.
