What the stop level (minimum distance) is on Exness and how it affects your orders.
Open Exness Account →An Exness stop level is the minimum distance, in points, that a stop loss, take profit or pending order must sit from the current price. It stops orders being placed unrealistically close. Many Exness instruments have a zero or very low stop level; always check the symbol's contract specification and set protective orders just outside it.
Understanding stop levels
- The stop level is the minimum distance from price for stop loss, take profit and pending orders.
- It prevents placing protective orders too close to the current price.
- Many Exness instruments have a zero or very low stop level.
- Check each symbol's stop level in its contract specification.
- Plan stops just outside the stop level to avoid rejected orders.
