About Exness: Chosen, or Simply Given

Anything said about a broker is either a setting one account decides or a trait of the firm that no client choice can move. Sorting the two is what this page does.

Two kinds of statement sit side by side in any description of a broker. One kind is a trait of the firm — settled long before a new client arrives and identical for everyone reading it. The other is an account setting — undecided until somebody picks it, and different for the person in the next chair. This page keeps the two apart, so that a line worth acting on is never mistaken for one that cannot be acted on.

Frequently asked questions

Which statements about a broker can a client actually change?
The ones attached to an account rather than to the firm: which account type is held, which terminal is used to connect, which instruments stay on screen and how large each position is. Every one of those is a decision that was made once and can be made again.
Which details stay the same whichever account is opened?
The traits of the firm — how long it has been operating, how wide its catalogue is, which terminals it publishes and what its own site says about it. Opening a different account type moves none of them.
Why does a page about the company rarely answer what a new client is asking?
Because it describes a firm, while the question is almost always about one future account. A catalogue can say what exists; only the account-level settings say what will apply to a particular trade.
Where should a reader look once the company description runs out?
At the pages that describe account-level settings: the account types comparison, the sign-in page, and the pages of measured trading conditions, which describe what one position costs rather than what the firm offers in general.
