Exness Pro Account Features for Pakistani Market

Pro Accounts offer fixed spreads from 0.6 pips regardless of market conditions. Minimum deposit jumps to $200 (≈56,000 PKR). The key advantage? Instant execution with price guarantees during normal market conditions. Pakistani scalpers and news traders gravitate toward Pro Accounts. Fixed spreads enable precise pre-trade cost calculation—crucial for tight-margin strategies.

Managing Pro Account Settings and Parameters

Adjust leverage anytime through Personal Area. Navigate to “Accounts”, find your Pro Account, click “Change Leverage”. Changes apply instantly, even with open positions. Check margin requirements by right-clicking any instrument in “Market Watch” and selecting “Specification”. Enable “Negative Balance Protection” through Personal Area → “Settings”.

Zero Account for High-Volume Pakistani Traders

Zero Accounts feature spreads from 0 pips but add a $3.5 per lot per side commission ($7 round trip). Minimum deposit matches Pro at $200 (≈56,000 PKR). Frequent traders typically save with this structure despite the commission fee. Best for major forex pairs where spreads frequently hit 0 pips during liquid hours.

Calculating Costs for Zero Account Trading

Total trading cost = Raw Spread + Commission. For standard lot (100,000 units), commission equals $7 round trip. Commission scales proportionally—$0.70 for 0.1 lots. Trading cost calculation factors:
  1. Raw spread in pips
  2. Commission based on volume
  3. Currency pair conversion value
  4. Round-trip calculation (entry and exit)
Commission appears as separate entries in “Account History” tab. Include these when calculating real profitability.

Raw Spread Accounts for Professional Pakistani Traders

Raw Spread Accounts require $500 (≈140,000 PKR) minimum deposit. They provide institutional-grade spreads direct from liquidity providers without markup, starting from 0 pips. Direct market access minimizes slippage—critical for institutional traders and serious individuals managing substantial capital. Orders route directly to liquidity providers.

Average EUR/USD Spread 1.3 pips 0.8 pips 0.1 pips 0.0 pips

Raw Spread Account Liquidity Advantages

Superior liquidity connection delivers better execution during volatility. Particularly valuable during Asian-European session overlap (12:00-16:00 PKT). Significantly reduces slippage and requotes. Supports advanced order types—OCO orders, custom trailing stops, and partial closures.
