Exness account types compared
Exness offers five trading account types: Standard Cent, Standard, Pro, Raw Spread and Zero. This page compares the three that charge no separate trading commission and explains how to read the numbers.
Figures come from the Exness help center (checked 2026-10-13) unless a row says it is our own measurement. Exness can change its terms without notice, so confirm the current conditions in your Personal Area.
Do all Exness account types charge a trading commission?
No. Exness has five account types. Standard Cent, Standard and Pro have no trading commission. Only Zero and Raw Spread charge one.
Standard Cent, Standard and Pro at a glance

| Spread shown by Exness | From 0.3 pips | From 0.2 pips | From 0.1 pips |

The spread figures from Exness are starting values ("from"), not typical values. Spreads on every account type move with market conditions, and our median is a past measurement, not a promise. Rebate rates are explained on the rebate page.
Raw Spread and Zero accounts exist as well. They quote spreads from 0.0 pips but charge a trading commission on both the opening and the closing of an order, and the amount depends on the instrument. This site does not cover them further.
How to read the comparison
If there is no commission, is trading free?
No commission does not mean no trading cost. Spreads are variable, not fixed, and can widen at certain times. The Exness figures labelled "from" are lower-end reference values, not fixed spreads.
- No commission does not mean no cost. On Standard Cent, Standard and Pro the cost of trading is built into the spread, the difference between the buying and selling price.
- Spreads are variable. They are not fixed and can widen at times, for example around the daily rollover.
- Execution type changes how a price is filled. With market execution an order is filled at the price available when it is processed, which can differ from the price you saw (slippage). With instant execution an order is filled at your requested price or not at all, and a requote may be offered.
- Standard Cent is a small-size account. Balances are shown in cents and trade sizes are expressed in cent lots, which Exness describes as suited to beginners or to testing a strategy with smaller amounts.
Margin, stop-out and leverage
Does a stop-out level of 0% mean my losses are limited?
No. A 0% stop-out level does not guarantee protection against loss. Stop Out Protection is not always available to every client. Margin call levels differ by account type, and levels can differ by Exness entity.
The margin call and stop-out levels above are the figures Exness publishes by account type in its help center. They can be different for stocks and for clients of some Exness entities.
A stop-out level of 0% does not mean you cannot lose money. Exness states that its Stop Out Protection feature is not provided to everyone and depends on market and account conditions.
Maximum leverage depends on the instrument, your account settings, the Exness entity you are registered with and whether you qualify. Exness describes some instruments as available at unlimited leverage if eligible. Higher leverage increases the size of both gains and losses.
Higher margin requirements (HMR) can apply before and after major news and around daily and weekend breaks, and they take priority over your account leverage when they apply. Exness has also introduced Flexible HMR. It is switched on by default and can be turned off in the Personal Area. Each day the status is set to HMR Free (no higher margin requirement, not guaranteed) or Extended HMR. It can change within the same day, it applies to forex, metals, energies and cryptocurrencies, and Standard Cent accounts are excluded. Even with HMR Free, an order can be rejected if margin is insufficient. (Checked 2026-10-12.)
A short guide to choosing
There is no best account type for everyone. These questions can help you narrow the choice.
- Do you want to avoid separate commission? Standard Cent, Standard and Pro charge none.
- Do you need very small trade sizes? Standard Cent uses cent lots. Standard and Pro have a minimum of 0.01 lot.
- Does the execution type matter to you? Instant execution is limited to Pro. Standard Cent and Standard use market execution.
- How much margin buffer do you want? The margin call level is 60% on Standard Cent and Standard and 30% on Pro. A lower level changes when warnings and closing happen, and it does not reduce risk.
- What does it cost for the instruments you trade? Compare spread and rebate for those instruments yourself. A higher rebate percentage does not always mean a lower net cost, because the spread differs by account type.
Existing accounts cannot be changed to another type, but you can open additional accounts under the same profile, so it is possible to try a second type later.
Opening an account
- Register with your email address and a password.
- Choose the account type you want.
- Complete identity verification. Exness usually asks for a government-issued ID and a proof of address.
- Make a deposit and start trading.
The minimum deposit is not a single published figure. It depends on the account type, your region and the payment method, and the amounts are shown in your Personal Area when you deposit. Check the deposit details carefully before you confirm.
Can I change my account type after opening it?
Based on our guides, an existing account cannot be converted to another type. You can open additional accounts under the same profile and choose a different type for each. Confirm the current rules with Exness support.What is the minimum deposit?
Exness does not publish one fixed figure. The requirement depends on the account type, your region and the payment method, and it is displayed in your Personal Area. Check it there before you deposit.Are Exness spreads fixed?
No. Spreads are variable and change with market conditions, so the "from" figures shown by Exness and the medians in our measurement are reference points, not what you will always pay.Does the rebate change with the account type?
Yes. The rates shown on this site are 40% of the spread for Standard and 25% for Pro. Because the spread also differs between the two, compare the net cost for the instruments you trade. Details are on the rebate page.Does a 0% stop-out level mean my losses are limited?
No. It describes the level at which positions are closed, not a guarantee against loss. Exness also says that Stop Out Protection is not always available.What is Flexible HMR and does it remove leverage limits?
Flexible HMR is an Exness setting that can lift the higher margin requirements around news and breaks for some accounts. The status is reviewed daily, is not guaranteed, can change within a day and does not apply to Standard Cent accounts. Orders can still be rejected if margin is insufficient.Last reviewed 2026-10-13
