Exness Margin

To trade the wide range of instruments offered by Exness, you’ll need a certain amount of margin. By understanding Exness’s margin requirements and maintenance margin levels, you can avoid missing out on trading opportunities due to insufficient margin.

The required margin refers to the minimum amount of funds required as collateral when executing a certain number of trades.If the margin in your account is insufficient, not only will you be unable to open new positions, but if your margin falls below the required level due to a sudden surge or drop in the market while you hold a position, that position will be forcibly liquidated. Therefore, margin management is extremely important; if you anticipate a margin shortage, you should make an additional deposit via the Exness Personal Area.

The margin maintenance ratio refers to the percentage of the required margin relative to the account balance, and it serves as the threshold for triggering a stop-out or margin call.To avoid a stop-out (forced liquidation) due to insufficient margin and continue trading, you must maintain a margin maintenance ratio above a certain level; however, Exness’s stop-out level is set at a margin maintenance ratio of 0%. This means that with Exness, you can continue trading until your margin balance reaches 0 yen, allowing you to trade while maximizing the potential of your margin.Please refer to the link below for details on Exness’s stop-out and margin maintenance ratio.

When opening a hedged position with the same instrument and the same lot size on Exness, the required margin is 0 yen. For example, if you open a 5-lot long position and a 5-lot short position in USD/JPY (U.S. Dollar/Japanese Yen) at the same time on Exness, the required margin is 0 yen.In the case of a partially hedged trade—that is, if you place a 5-lot long position and a 3-lot short position on USD/JPY (U.S. Dollar/Japanese Yen) at the same time—the margin requirement applies only to the 2 lots that are not part of the hedge.

The methods for calculating the required margin and margin maintenance level at Exness are as follows. Exness also provides a convenient investment calculator, so you can easily calculate the required margin simply by entering the necessary figures.

To calculate the margin requirement on Exness, you need three values: “trade volume,” “leverage,” and “current exchange rate.” You can calculate it using the following formula.

How to Calculate the Required Margin at Exness

For example, when the USD/JPY(U.S. dollar/Japanese yen) is at 140 yen, and you trade 1 lot (100,000 units) with 2,000x leverage on Exness, the required margin is calculated as “100,000 ÷ 2,000 × 140,” which equals 7,000 yen.Using 2,000x leverage allows you to start trading with a small amount of capital. (*)

To calculate the margin maintenance level at Exness, you need the “Available Margin” and “Required Margin” values. Available Margin refers to the margin that takes into account both unrealized losses and unrealized gains; it represents the funds that would remain in your account if you closed all your positions at the current moment.Exness’s margin maintenance ratio can be calculated using the following formula.

For example, if you have a trading account with Exness with an available margin of 70,000 yen and are holding a position with a required margin of 7,000 yen, your margin maintenance ratio is 10%.If the margin maintenance ratio drops, a stop-out (forced liquidation) will be triggered; therefore, it is important to adjust your margin and positions so that the margin maintenance ratio always remains above a certain level.

Exness offers a convenient investment calculator.With the Exness Investment Calculator, you can easily calculate required margin, spread costs, and other details simply by selecting and entering the necessary fields.

Exness offers a "0% stop-out level" and "stop-out determination based on MID prices," which are rare in the industry. Please review the relationship between margin and stop-out at Exness, as well as other margin-related policies.

Exness’s stop-out level is set at a margin maintenance ratio of 0%; when the margin maintenance ratio reaches 0%, your open positions will be forcibly closed.At other international FX brokers, stop-out levels typically range from 20% to 50%. However, with Exness, you can withstand unrealized losses right up until your account balance is depleted, allowing you to use all your available funds for hedging and trade while maximizing the potential of your margin.

In addition, Exness’s margin call level is set at a 30% maintenance margin requirement (60% for Standard and Standard Cent accounts). If you want to trade more aggressively with an account that has a lower margin call level, we recommend opening one of Exness’s Low Spread, Zero, or Pro accounts.

If a stop-out occurs, you may end up incurring a loss on a trade that would have continued to generate profits had you continued trading. To avoid missing out on such profit opportunities, it is important to constantly monitor your account’s margin and maintain your margin maintenance ratio above a certain level.

Exness employs a “mid-price stop-out determination” system, which prevents an immediate stop-out even if your margin balance is 0 yen.This is a system unique to Exness: when a sudden market fluctuation causes the margin maintenance ratio to approach 0% and a stop-out appears imminent, the spread is halved to make forced liquidation less likely.

At Exness, even if your margin balance reaches zero or goes into the negative, a stop-out is not triggered immediately; instead, trading continues temporarily with a negative balance. This increases your chances of making a profit if the market reverses.

At Exness, to protect your funds, a stop-out is triggered when your margin maintenance level falls below 0%. However, in the event of extremely rapid market fluctuations, there may be a delay in executing the stop-out, which could result in significant losses.However, Exness employs a “Zero Cut System” that covers any negative balance and resets your account balance to zero. Therefore, no matter how large your losses may be, you will never be required to pay a margin call (additional margin) at Exness.Please rest assured that your losses are limited to the amount you have deposited, and trading will not result in any debt or liabilities.

Please note that with FX brokers that do not use the zero-cut system, if your losses exceed your margin, you will not be able to restore your balance to zero unless you deposit funds to cover the negative balance.
