Spread Structures and Pricing Models

Exness utilizes adaptive spread pricing that varies with market liquidity and volatility. Major currency pairs such as EUR/USD maintain spreads from 0.3 pips during peak trading hours. Exotic pairs involving the Nigerian Naira may have wider spreads due to limited liquidity. Raw Spread accounts provide institutional-grade pricing with spreads starting at 0.0 pips plus commissions ranging from $3.50 to $7 per standard lot. This structure is optimal for traders managing high volumes.

Currency Pair Specifications

Liquidity is sourced from over 25 top-tier banks, ensuring stable pricing for major pairs like GBP/USD and USD/JPY. Cross currency and emerging market pairs experience spreads relative to session timings, with favorable conditions during European market hours aligned with Nigerian trading time (WAT).

Leverage Options and Margin Requirements

Exness offers leverage from 1:1 up to 1:2000 across various instruments. Nigerian traders can modify leverage via the Personal Area dashboard with clear visibility of margin requirements. High leverage enhances profit potential but increases risk exposure. Forex majors allow maximum leverage of 1:2000, while exotic pairs are capped at 1:400. Commodities also permit leverage up to 1:2000, and indices vary between 1:100 to 1:200.

Margin Calculation Methods

Margin is calculated in real-time based on current prices and applied leverage. For example, opening a standard lot of EUR/USD at 1:100 leverage requires $1,000 margin. Traders can track margin and free margin directly on MT4 and MT5 interfaces. Maintaining margin above 100% is critical to avoid margin calls or forced liquidation.

Risk Management Tools

Our platform supports Stop Loss, Take Profit, and Trailing Stop orders for automated risk control. Negative balance protection prevents accounts from going below zero. Position sizing calculators assist traders in determining optimal lot sizes based on risk tolerance and account balance.
