Exness offers flexible leverage and clear margin rules. Here is how leverage and margin work, and how to use them responsibly.
Open Exness Account →Exness offers flexible leverage that you set per account in your Personal Area. Higher leverage lowers the margin a position needs but increases both potential profit and loss, so risk management is essential.
How Exness leverage works
- Leverage on Exness is flexible — you set it per account, from low ratios up to high levels.
- Higher leverage means a smaller margin requirement: you control a larger position with less capital.
- Margin is the deposit a position needs; free margin is what's left to open more trades.
- Leverage multiplies both profit AND loss, so position sizing matters more than the headline ratio.
- You can change leverage in your Personal Area, before or after funding the account.
- Negative balance protection means you cannot lose more than your balance (terms apply).
