Exness uses structured, system-based risk controls that aim to balance flexibility with account safety. These tools are pre-configured but often customizable, allowing traders to match them with their own strategy.
Each of these tools works independently, but their combined use helps limit excessive exposure and prevent full balance loss.
Leverage is one of the most impactful variables in trading risk. On Exness, leverage scales automatically depending on account equity. This model ensures traders cannot use maximum leverage when trading large volumes, reducing the chance of a major account drawdown.
Account Equity (USD) | Max Leverage Allowed |
---|---|
Up to 999 | 1:2000 |
1,000 – 4,999 | 1:1000 |
5,000 – 29,999 | 1:600 |
30,000 and above | 1:200 |
This system minimizes risk automatically without trader input, adapting to real-time account size changes.
Exness monitors account margin in real-time. When margin levels fall below specific thresholds, automated warnings and actions are triggered. This helps prevent negative balances and uncontrolled losses.
Margin Level (%) | Action Triggered |
---|---|
100% | No new trades can be opened |
60% | Margin call alert issued |
0–30% | Positions begin to close |
These thresholds vary slightly by account type but follow the same structure.
Manual risk management can be improved by setting stop loss and take profit levels for each trade. This locks in control over maximum drawdown and potential upside. These tools are available on all platforms used by Exness.
Benefits of Using Stop Levels:
Traders can also use trailing stops to follow profitable moves while protecting gains.
A key part of Exness risk management strategies is negative balance protection. This feature ensures that users can never owe more than their deposit. If a market moves against a trader too quickly, the platform will close open positions and restore the balance to zero if necessary.
Scenario | Exness Response |
---|---|
Sudden market gap | Positions closed at best price |
Loss greater than account funds | Balance adjusted to zero |
Price rebound after closure | No reactivation of positions |
This approach gives peace of mind during high-impact news or weekend gaps.
In addition to automated tools, traders are encouraged to control their position size. By calculating risk per trade in relation to total account balance, traders can maintain consistent exposure levels.
Account Balance | Risk Per Trade | Trade Size (1:100 Leverage) | Target Profit |
---|---|---|---|
$1,000 | 2% ($20) | 0.2 lot | $40 (2:1 R:R) |
$5,000 | 1% ($50) | 0.5 lot | $100 (2:1 R:R) |
Risk-Reward Ratio Planning:
Consistent sizing builds account stability and allows long-term growth.
Not all account types use identical protection settings, but most risk tools remain available to all traders.
Risk Feature | Standard | Raw Spread | Zero | Pro |
---|---|---|---|---|
Dynamic Leverage | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ |
Stop Out and Margin Alerts | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ |
Negative Balance Protection | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ |
Take Profit / Stop Loss | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ |
This consistency makes it easier for traders to change accounts without losing risk protection.
Exness risk management strategies include a mix of automated platform safeguards and user-controlled tools. From dynamic leverage to margin alerts and balance protection, every feature contributes to building a stable trading environment.
By using these strategies in combination — and adjusting position size and stop loss levels — traders can reduce exposure to large, unexpected losses. These tools are embedded in all account types and available from the first trade.
