Frequently asked questions
What order types does Exness offer?
Market orders, buy/sell limit and stop pending orders, and stop-limit orders on MT5, all with optional stop loss and take profit.
What is the difference between a limit and a stop order?
A limit order triggers at a better price than now; a stop order triggers at a worse price, which is why stops are used to catch breakouts.
How do I avoid slippage on a market order?
Use the deviation (maximum slippage) setting in the order window to cap how far the fill price can move before the order is rejected.
