Exness High Margin Requirements
Why Exness raises margin requirements around weekends, holidays and major news.
Open Exness Account →Exness applies high-margin-requirement periods around weekends, public holidays and big scheduled news, when markets can gap and liquidity thins. During these windows each position needs more margin (effectively lower leverage) to reduce risk. Check announcements and keep spare free margin so existing trades are not forced to close.
