Frequently asked questions
How do I manage risk on Exness?
Risk a small fixed percentage per trade, use a stop loss every time, keep leverage modest, and size positions with the trading calculator.
What is a good risk-reward ratio?
Many traders target at least 1:2 — risking one to make two — so they can be profitable even when fewer than half of trades win.
Does leverage increase risk?
Yes — higher leverage magnifies both gains and losses and raises the chance of a margin call. Use it cautiously and size positions accordingly.
