Exness Leverage Trading in Philippines

Understanding Leverage Options at Exness Philippines

Our company offers a wide range of leverage settings tailored for traders in the Philippines. Leverage options start from 1:2 and can go as high as 1:2000, depending on the account type and your trading profile. We utilize a dynamic leverage system that adjusts automatically with your account equity and market fluctuations. This ensures you maintain optimal exposure and risk control as market conditions evolve. Each instrument on our platform clearly displays its applicable leverage before trade execution.

Four main account types provide varying leverage levels and trading conditions. Standard and Pro accounts support maximum leverage of 1:2000, with Pro accounts benefiting from faster execution. Raw Spread accounts combine tight spreads with commission fees, whereas Zero accounts offer commission-free trading but with leverage capped at 1:1000. Our proprietary risk management algorithms govern leverage adjustments, accounting for instrument volatility and equity changes.

To start using leverage effectively, select your account type during registration, then adjust leverage settings as needed within your Personal Area. Our platform ensures transparency by showing leverage values on each trading instrument.

Dynamic Leverage Adjustment System

We provide a sophisticated leverage adjustment system that responds to your account’s equity and market volatility automatically. This system reduces leverage as your equity grows, helping to protect your capital and reduce risk exposure. You will receive notifications when leverage changes take effect, keeping you informed at all times.

Equity-Based Leverage Scaling

The automatic leverage scaling reduces your maximum leverage as your account equity crosses predefined thresholds. For example, leverage on major pairs lowers from 1:2000 to 1:1000 once your equity reaches $5,000. At $10,000 equity, it further decreases to 1:500, and continues down to 1:200 for accounts exceeding $50,000. These adjustments apply only to new trades and leave existing positions unaffected.

Instrument-Specific Leverage Rules

Leverage limits vary by instrument type to reflect volatility and market risk. Our platform applies these limits automatically:

• Major currency pairs: up to 1:2000 leverage
• Minor currency pairs: up to 1:1000 leverage
• Exotic currency pairs: up to 1:400 leverage
• Gold and Silver CFDs: up to 1:2000 leverage
• Oil and Gas CFDs: up to 1:200 leverage
• Stock indices: up to 1:400 leverage
• Individual stocks: up to 1:20 leverage

Setting Up Leverage Preferences

Adjusting your leverage on Exness is straightforward using the Personal Area dashboard. Navigate to Account Settings, then select Leverage Management to view or request changes. For new accounts, leverage can be selected during registration from preset options or via a custom request.

Changing leverage on existing accounts requires submitting a leverage change request form. Provide your desired leverage and supporting rationale. Requests are reviewed and processed within 24 hours on business days. High leverage levels above 1:500 require additional risk assessment procedures.

Risk Assessment Requirements

Applying for leverage higher than 1:500 involves completing a detailed questionnaire about your trading experience, financial status, and risk appetite. Supporting documents such as proof of income and prior trading records are necessary. Our risk management team evaluates submissions within two working days to ensure appropriate leverage allocation.

3. Review and accept risk disclosure agreements
4. Wait for official approval notification

Margin Requirements and Calculations

Our platform calculates margin requirements in real-time using current market prices. The margin needed is inversely proportional to your leverage and depends on the instrument you trade. During volatile periods or important news events, margin requirements may increase temporarily to safeguard both trader positions and company exposure.

Margin calculations are automatic and displayed before order placement to ensure transparency. This system enables traders in the Philippines to manage funds efficiently and avoid margin calls.

Free Margin Monitoring

The trading platform constantly tracks your free margin to prevent margin calls. Alerts trigger when free margin falls below 60% of required margin. If free margin drops below 30%, automatic liquidation of losing positions begins sequentially. Use the Account Information panel in MetaTrader 4 or 5 to monitor margin levels in real-time.

Margin Call Prevention Tools

Our platform provides risk management tools to avoid margin calls. Set margin level alerts, configure automatic stop-losses, and use the position size calculator before opening trades. These tools assist traders in maintaining account health during volatile market conditions.

Leverage Impact on Trading Costs

Leverage influences the amount of capital required per trade but does not alter spread costs. Spreads on major pairs like EUR/USD start from 0.1 pips on Raw Spread accounts and 0.3 pips on Standard accounts. Commissions apply only to Raw Spread accounts at $3.50 per lot per side, independent of leverage level.

Overnight financing costs, or swaps, are calculated on the full position size regardless of leverage. Holding positions past market close incurs swap charges or credits proportional to the nominal value. Check the Contract Specifications section on our website for current swap rates.

Spreads and Commissions Overview

Leverage amplifies potential profit and loss but does not affect fixed transaction costs directly. Use leverage wisely to manage risk and avoid unexpected costs due to margin calls or stop-outs.

Risk Management with High Leverage

Trading with high leverage requires strict risk management to protect capital. We recommend risking no more than 1-2% of your account balance per trade. Use position sizing tools to calculate optimal trade volume based on your leverage and stop-loss settings.

Effective risk management includes setting stop-loss orders, using trailing stops, and avoiding adding to losing positions. Diversifying trades and monitoring portfolio correlation reduces the chance of amplified losses due to highly correlated positions.

Stop-Loss Implementation

Place stop-loss orders when opening trades to limit potential losses automatically. Our platform supports fixed pip stops, percentage-based stops, and volatility-adjusted stops. For extreme market conditions, guaranteed stop-loss orders ensure closure at predefined prices, though they incur a small additional fee.

Position Correlation Analysis

Analyze position correlations to avoid excessive exposure to similar market movements. Our correlation matrix tool provides real-time data on currency pair relationships, helping you diversify your portfolio effectively.

Platform Features for Leverage Management

Exness supports MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 platforms, both equipped with tools to manage leverage efficiently. The Account Information panel displays real-time margin, equity, and leverage data. Position Size Calculators help determine trade volumes aligned with your risk profile.

The Risk Management Dashboard offers consolidated views of exposure, correlations, and potential losses. Set custom alerts for margin levels and equity drawdowns to stay informed. The web terminal provides essential features, while desktop platforms offer advanced analytics and tools.

Mobile Platform Capabilities

Our mobile apps for iOS and Android maintain full leverage management functionality. Monitor margin, adjust leverage where applicable, and receive push notifications on margin calls and account updates. Mobile and desktop platforms synchronize seamlessly for consistent trading experiences.

Advanced Leverage Strategies for Philippines Traders

Philippine traders benefit from understanding local market hours and currency correlations when using leverage. The Asian session offers high liquidity for JPY pairs, suitable for higher leverage usage. USD/PHP’s correlation with Southeast Asian currencies allows for strategic positioning across pairs.

Focus leveraged trades during the London-New York overlap (8 PM to 12 AM Philippine time) to reduce slippage and improve execution. Be mindful of Philippine economic releases, including BSP interest decisions and inflation reports, as these events cause notable volatility impacting leveraged positions.

Leverage magnifies gains and losses equally. A 1% favorable move in EUR/USD at 1:100 leverage yields a 100% return on margin but also risks total margin loss with adverse moves. Use our integrated economic calendar and notification tools to time trades effectively around key events.
