Exness — what is capped by construction, and what is not · Pakistan
Some figures on this page carry a ceiling written into them and cannot be exceeded. Others only say where a range begins and leave the top open. This page sorts the account tiers, the commission line and the account-level floor into those two groups, and notes when each edge stops being adjustable. Terms can change, so check the current details before you trade.
Open Exness Account →A limit is either built into the product or it is not. Built in: the commission figure attached to an account tier, the deposit threshold that gates Pro, Raw Spread and Zero, the cent-sized lot denomination on Standard Cent, and the account-level floor that stops a recorded loss at the funds placed on the account. Not built in: the spread at the second of a fill, the price a market order actually executes at, and how far an open position travels before it is closed. The first group is settled when you choose; the second is settled by the moment.
Minimum deposit applicable; may vary based on payment method or geographic location.
Which limits are fixed, and which only say where a range starts
- Negative balance protection puts a floor under the account — the recorded loss stops at the funds you deposited
- The commission line on Raw Spread is written as a ceiling (up to $3.50 / side / lot), not as a starting figure
- Spread quotes are written as floors: from 0.0 pips on the Raw Spread and Zero accounts fixes the bottom of the range and nothing above it
- Standard and Standard Cent have no minimum initial deposit, so there is no threshold to clear at the door
- Standard Cent counts positions in cent-sized lots, so an identical move on the chart moves a smaller figure against the balance
- Swap-free (Islamic) accounts remove overnight interest on eligible instruments — the word eligible is where that edge stops
- An order level placed in advance sits on the server whether or not anyone is at the terminal, on MT4, MT5, the Exness Terminal or the Exness Trade app
The five tiers read as floors and ceilings
| Account | Platform | Spread from | Commission | Suited to |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | MT4 / MT5 / Terminal | from 0.3 pips | $0 | No threshold at the door; commission fixed at $0, spread quoted as a floor |
| Standard Cent | MT4 / MT5 | from 0.3 pips | $0 | Cent-sized lot denomination caps how much one step moves the balance |
| Pro | MT4 / MT5 / Terminal | from 0.1 pips | $0 | Commission fixed at $0; the $200 threshold is tested before you are in |
| Raw Spread | MT4 / MT5 / Terminal | from 0.0 pips | up to $3.50 / side / lot | Spread floor of 0.0 pips against a stated commission ceiling per side |
| Zero | MT4 / MT5 / Terminal | 0.0 pips on majors | from $0.20 / side | 0.0 pips stated on top instruments; the commission is the figure written as from |

Short version: where the edges are
Three figures on this page stop moving the moment a tier is chosen: the commission line, the entry threshold and the lot denomination. Two never stop moving: the spread you are quoted at the second of a fill and the price a market order actually executes at. Under both sits one floor that depends on neither — the recorded loss stops at the funds placed on the account. You can also read independent Exness reviews on Trustpilot.

Open Exness Account →Numbers written as from, and numbers written as up to
The tier table on this page uses two different grammars and they mean opposite things. From 0.0 pips fixes the bottom of a range and says nothing about the top. Up to $3.50 / side / lot fixes the top and says nothing about the bottom. A reader who treats both as the price will be wrong about one of them.
This matters most on the tiers where both appear at once. Raw Spread carries a floor on the spread and a ceiling on the commission, so one component of a round turn has a known worst case and the other does not. Zero inverts the emphasis: the spread is stated at 0.0 pips on top instruments while the commission is the figure written as from.
None of this is a forecast. The two wordings are simply doing different jobs, and reading them the same way is where most cost surprises on a first live position come from.
Edges the account carries whether you name them or not
Some boundaries exist because of how the account is constructed and do not need to be switched on. Negative balance protection is one: the recorded loss stops at the funds placed on the account. The denomination on Standard Cent is another — positions are counted in cent-sized lots, so the same distance on the chart is a smaller figure against the balance.
Boundaries of this kind have one useful property: they hold when nobody is watching the screen. They are not a plan and they do not improve an entry. They stop one specific quantity from running further than the product allows, and nothing else.
The counterpart is the set of quantities with no such construction behind them. How wide a quote goes in thin liquidity, how far a fill lands from the level that was tapped, and how long a position stays open are all settled outside the account settings. Spreads may fluctuate and widen depending on liquidity, news and market conditions. Delays and slippage may occur. No guarantee of execution speed or precision.
Thresholds tested at the door, floors that only matter afterwards
The $200 minimum deposit on Pro, Raw Spread and Zero is a condition. It is tested once, on the way in, and if it is not met nothing else happens. Standard and Standard Cent have no minimum initial deposit, so for those two there is no threshold to test at all. Minimum deposit applicable; may vary based on payment method or geographic location.
A floor is the opposite kind of object. Nothing tests it on the way in; it sits unused for as long as things go normally and becomes visible only in the one case it was built for. Treating the two as the same thing produces the odd belief that clearing a threshold has bought some protection. It has not — it has opened a tier.
Written out in order, the sequence is short: a condition at the door, a handful of choices fixed at that moment, then a long stretch in which nothing is fixed, and then, in the bad case only, a floor.
Levels named in advance, levels named by what happened
A level placed before the market reaches it is a boundary named in advance: the number exists on the server whether or not anyone is at the terminal. A position closed by hand is the same decision taken from the other end — the level becomes known only once it has occurred, because it is whatever was on the screen at that second.
Neither form fixes a price. A level named in advance says where an instruction becomes active, not where the fill lands, and the distance between the two is not bounded by any account setting. That is why a level was set and that level was filled are two separate statements about the same position.
The practical consequence is dull and short: the figures worth writing down before a position exists are the ones that will stop being adjustable once it does.
Writing your edges down before the position exists
- Note the tier you are on and copy the two figures it fixes — the commission line and the entry threshold. Both stop being variables the moment the account is open.
- Copy the spread figure separately and label it a floor rather than a price. Of the three, it is the only one the moment can move.
- Decide size in the denomination the tier actually uses — standard lots or cent-sized lots — so the figure in your notes and the figure in the terminal mean the same thing.
- Name the level at which the instruction should become active and write it down before the position exists, not while it does.
- Next to it, write in plain words what is not bounded: the fill price, the quote at that second, and the distance the market can travel between the two.
- Check the account-level floor once and then leave it alone. It is not a setting to tune; it is simply the last thing standing between a bad session and the funds placed on the account.
Nothing above changes the terms of the account. Confirm the current conditions in your Personal Area before you trade.
Which edges are fixed by construction
| Quantity | Edge by construction? | When the edge is settled |
|---|---|---|
| Commission on the tier | Yes — a stated figure per side, per lot | When the tier is chosen |
| Entry threshold on Pro, Raw Spread, Zero | Yes — a condition at the door | Before the account is funded |
| Lot denomination on Standard Cent | Yes — cent-sized lots | When the tier is chosen |
| Floor on the recorded loss | Yes — stops at the funds placed on the account | Present from the start, used only in the bad case |
| Spread at the second of a fill | No — the quote states a floor only | At the second of execution |
| Fill price of a market order | No | At the second of execution |
| Distance an open position travels | No | Only in hindsight |
Minimum deposit applicable; may vary based on payment method or geographic location.

| up to $3.50 / side / lot | The top of the commission range | Nothing above that figure |
| from $0.20 / side | The bottom of the commission range | The figure above it |
| $0 | A single figure, not a range | Nothing |
| 0.0 pips on majors | A stated level on top instruments | Instruments outside that group are quoted separately |

Reviews
What traders say about where the edges held and where they did not:
As a beginner I recommend Exness for all Beginners, due to it's friendly interface and easy to understand features ... with a very low spread
Everything is well. Initial Deposit should be again decreased to lowest same like before so that new traders can easily trade.
I will give you guys a 3 because you didn't add NASDAQ Dow Jones, and S&P 500 on the standard cent account
please be careful when setting stop losses on this app, you may lose more than you expect
Slippage on every trade. Constant running of losing trades despite stop loss activated.
