Exness additional accounts: open a second account and manage several

What an additional account is

At Exness, your Personal Area is your client profile. A trading account is a separate login inside it, with its own type, platform, currency, balance and settings.

After registration, the Personal Area already holds a real Standard MT5 account and a demo Standard MT5 account. Any account you add later is called an additional account. Opening one does not create a new client profile. Your verification and your registered entity stay the same. You can see which entity you are registered with in shown in the Personal Area footer.

Opening an account costs nothing: no management fees; free to open an account.

Why traders keep multiple accounts

Different account types

Each account type has its own pricing and risk settings. Traders often keep accounts of different types to test conditions side by side.

A few terms used in the table:

• Spread is the gap between the buy and sell price.
• Margin call is the margin level at which you are warned.
• Stop out is the level at which positions start to close automatically.

Note that 0% stop out not supported in some countries; may vary. Details for each type are on the Standard, Standard Cent, Pro, Raw Spread and Zero pages, and in the account types overview.

Separate strategies or risk budgets

Some traders keep a separate account for each strategy, for example scalping in one and longer holds in another. This keeps results apart.

Each account has its own margin level, so a loss in one account does not use the margin of another. It is still your money, and the losses are still real.

Small-size practice with real money

On the Standard Cent account, 1 cent lot = 1,000 USD = 0.01 standard lot. The balance is shown in cents: a 5 USD deposit gives a balance of 500 USC.

Cent accounts are available in USC, EUC, GBC, CHC, AUC, CAC, JPC (MT5/Exness only), IDC (MT5/Exness only), THC (MT5/Exness only), VNC (MT5/Exness only). Platform availability: MT4 and MT5 (BTCUSDc, ETHUSDc not on MT4).

Different account currencies

The account currency is the currency your balance, profit and loss are shown in. Standard accounts can be opened in AED, BND, EUR, INR, KZT, OMR, THB, XOF, ARS, BRL, GBP, JOD, MAD, PHP, UAH, ZAR, AUD, CAD, GHS, JPY, MXN, PKR, UGX, MBT, AZN, CHF, HKD, KES, MYR, QAR, USD, BDT, CNY, HUF, KRW, NGN, SAR, UZS, BHD, EGP, IDR, KWD, NZD, SGD, VND. This list includes PKR.

Traders sometimes keep a PKR account and a USD account to see results in the currency of each funding method. See account currency.

MT4 vs MT5

An account is tied to MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5. You choose the platform when you open the account. The platform affects which apps you can use:

• The Exness Trade app: Android and iOS; MT5 accounts only (MT4 not supported in the app).
• Exness Terminal: web-based, no download; for Exness and MT5-based accounts.
• MT4 MultiTerminal: Windows only, for MT4 accounts.
• Region limit: in certain regions MT5 accounts are usable only in MetaTrader 5, not in Exness Terminals.

A trader whose expert advisors run only on MT4, but who also wants the mobile app, would need accounts on both platforms. See MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 and platforms and apps.

Demo next to real

A demo account trades with virtual money. By default you get 10,000 USD (virtual), and you can top it up via Set Balance in the Personal Area or Exness Trade app.

One exception: Standard Cent is real only (demo not available). See the demo account page.

How to open a new trading account

1. Log in through the official site or the official app. See login.
2. In the Personal Area, go to the section that lists your trading accounts and choose to open a new account.
3. Pick real or demo, then the account type, platform (MT4 or MT5), account currency, leverage and a trading password.
4. Save the login number and server name shown for the new account. You need them to sign in to MetaTrader.

The menu names and the order of steps can change. If a screen looks different, follow what the Personal Area shows. If anything is unclear, ask customer support. Settings you can change later are covered under account settings.

Limits that apply across accounts

• Minimum deposit. This is set per type.
  • Standard: from 10 USD; may vary by location or payment method.
  • Standard Cent: minimum deposit applicable; may vary based on payment method or geographic location.
  • Pro, Zero and Raw Spread: at least 200 USD (depending on regional requirements).
  • See minimum deposit.
• Unlimited leverage eligibility. This is counted on real accounts: equity below 5,000 USD and at least 10 closed orders totalling 5 lots or more across real accounts. Closed orders on all your real accounts count together. Below the conditions, leverage is set by equity tiers. See leverage.
• Number of accounts. The quotes we have do not state a maximum number of trading accounts per profile. Check the current limit in the Personal Area or with support.
• Positions and volume. The maximum number of positions is unlimited. Maximum lot size is 200 lots (7:00–20:59 GMT+0), 60 lots (21:00–6:59 GMT+0). Minimum lot is 0.01 lot. See trading limits.
• Swap-free status. Algeria, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Brunei, Chad, Comoros, Côte d'Ivoire, Djibouti, Egypt, Indonesia, Iraq, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Maldives, Mauritania, Morocco, Niger, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Tajikistan, Tunisia, Turkiye, Turkmenistan, United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan are on the list where clients are assigned swap-free status automatically. Confirm in the Personal Area how the status shows on each new account. See swap-free accounts.

Moving money between accounts

The quotes we have do not describe internal transfers between trading accounts. Check in the Personal Area whether a transfer option is offered for your accounts and on what terms.

When you move money, these points apply:

• Free margin. Up to free margin. Free margin is the money not used to hold open positions. Open trades reduce what can leave an account. Moving funds out of an account with open positions lowers its margin level and brings stop out closer.
• Currency conversion. If the accounts have different currencies, the amount is converted. Check the rate and the final amount before you confirm.
• Cent balances. A Cent account balance is in cents, not dollars. Read the figures carefully.
• Withdrawals to outside accounts. Withdrawals go to own personal payment accounts only. Payment options are shown only in the Personal Area; depends on registered region. See deposits and withdrawals.

Risk and legal context

More accounts do not reduce risk. Leveraged CFD and forex trading can lose money fast on every account you hold. Spreading money across accounts does not change that. Set a loss limit per account and in total. See risk management.

For Pakistani residents, read the SBP and SECP positions on offshore trading platforms before you deposit anything. They are summarised in Is Exness legal in Pakistan.

The conditions above are quoted from Exness pages as checked when this page was written. They can change, so confirm them on the official site.

Frequent questions

Does a new trading account need new verification?

No new profile is created. The account opens inside your existing Personal Area. Check there whether any extra step is requested. See verification.

Can I open a Standard Cent demo?

No: demo not available.

Can I use the Exness Trade app with an MT4 account?

No: MT4 not supported in the app.

Do my accounts share margin?

No. Each trading account has its own balance and margin level. Stop out is calculated per account.

Can I open a PKR account?

PKR is in the Standard account currency list. Check which currencies the Personal Area offers for the type you choose.

Can I close an account I no longer use?

The quotes we have do not cover this. Ask support or check the Personal Area.
