Exness demo account

What the Exness demo gives you

An Exness demo is free on MT4, MT5 and Exness's own terminal, with live prices and the same order ticket as a funded account. It is the right place to check the two things Exness is known for — very tight spreads and high leverage — because the second one is precisely what destroys new accounts, and a demo is where that lesson is free.

How to open a Exness demo account

1. 1

   Open an account and create a demo

   Register with Exness, then create a demo from the account area. You choose the platform, the account type and the starting virtual balance.

2. 2

   Choose the same account type you would fund

   Exness offers standard and raw/zero-spread account types, and their costs are structured completely differently — raw accounts show a tiny spread and charge commission. Demo the one you actually intend to open, or the numbers mean nothing.

3. 3

   Set the leverage down, deliberately

   Exness advertises leverage up to very high multiples on some entities. Set your demo leverage to something you would survive — many experienced traders use 1:30 or lower — and size positions from the cash you would risk, not from the cap.

4. 4

   Trade gold once, in micro lots

   Gold is the most popular instrument among Exness's Asian and African client base and the most common way accounts die. One standard lot is 100 ounces, so a $1 move is $100. Trade 0.01 lots on the demo and watch how fast the value changes before you ever fund.

5. 5

   Then fund the minimum and withdraw it

   This is the step the demo cannot do for you. Exness's reputation rests on instant automatic withdrawals; the only way to verify that in your country, on your payment method, is to deposit the smallest amount allowed and take it all back out.

What this demo cannot teach you

A demo is the cheapest tuition available, and it has blind spots that matter. These are the ones specific to Exness:

• The instant-withdrawal reputation is the main reason to choose Exness, and a demo cannot test it at all.
• Demo spreads on raw accounts can look better than live ones during thin sessions.
• Withdrawal speed. A demo has no cashier, so it cannot tell you how long real money takes to come back.
• Slippage in fast markets. Demo servers usually fill you at the price you clicked; live ones do not, especially around economic releases.
• Your own behaviour under real loss. Virtual money does not produce the impulse to widen a stop or double down, which is what actually empties accounts.

Use the demo to learn position size, not to admire the spread

Exness's spreads are genuinely competitive, and that is the least important thing for a beginner to verify. What a demo is unusually good at is showing you the relationship between leverage, lot size and how quickly an account can go to zero. Open a demo funded with your real intended deposit, put on a position sized the way the leverage tempts you to, and watch a normal day's movement against you. Most people reduce their size permanently after doing this once, which is worth more than any spread comparison.

Which Exness entity, and where it is not available

Exness runs several legal entities — some FCA or CySEC licensed, others licensed offshore — and the one that onboards you depends on your country. That entity determines your leverage cap, whether negative-balance protection applies, and who you complain to. Exness is not available to US residents, has stopped accepting new registrations from some markets including Malaysia, and appears on regulator alert lists in others. Read the entity name at signup, and check the country selector on this site.

Local funding is the thing to test with real money

Exness is widely used across Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Nigeria, South Africa and Kenya specifically because local banks and e-wallets appear on the cashier — M-Pesa, mobile money, local transfers. Those methods appear and disappear, and a demo shows you none of them. Open the deposits page for your own country rather than a global marketing page, then test the smallest possible round trip.
