What are the risks of using Exness?

The risks of using Exness are those of any form of financial trading, which is that there is the risk you can lose your money. The value of your investments can go down as well as up, and the price of assets like cryptocurrencies, exotic currency pairs, and some commodities can be volatile.

The risks are heightened if you use leverage, which leaves you vulnerable to a margin call or having your entire position liquidated if you fail to meet the margin requirements. Exness limits the risk by controlling the leverage you can use based on your account balance and offers negative balance protection, but the risk of losing money remains.

• Wide spreads can leave you stuck in loss. Some assets have high spreads, which means there’s a big difference between the buy and sell price of an asset. If you buy an asset by mistake or want to sell it immediately, there’s no option but to take a loss, which can be significant.
• Trading with leverage can be dangerous. Exness offers leverage up to 1:200 for most users, which can lead to high losses if you don’t understand it or the market moves against you.

Exness review verdict

Exness is a top-tier trading platform that provides low-fee trading and lots of ways to customise your user experience. The fee structure is competitive, while the different account types provide a tailored experience to help new users and experienced traders alike.

Exness is best for those traders who have some experience of the market before. While the free demo account does provide a learning environment for beginners, there isn’t the same support for new traders that we find on other broker platforms.

Regardless, Exness rates as one of the very best brokers we’ve reviewed. It offers a high degree of flexibility in terms of how and what you can trade, with plenty of trading tools to help you analyse the market. The only downside is that the platform isn’t available to retail traders in a couple of large markets, notably the US and UK.
