Risk comes first

CFDs use leverage and can cause substantial losses. Margin is collateral, not the maximum amount that can be lost.

CFD Risk Management with Exness Trading Platform

Risk management connects the trade ticket to the whole account and payment journey. A stop alone is insufficient: set exposure, daily/weekly loss, margin buffer, connection-recovery and withdrawal rules before funding.

Risk hierarchy

Namibia payment journey: Public lists cannot confirm what is enabled for one profile. Use the authenticated Personal Area (PA) as the live source for methods, limits, fees and processing estimates.

Complete-loss model

Price-to-stop loss + spread + both commission sides + holding/admin cost + conversion + slippage allowance. Margin is calculated separately.

  2. Entry/invalidation.

Withdrawal policy

Set a target balance and post-withdrawal free-margin buffer. Do not withdraw solely because PA permits it when open positions would become fragile.

Frequently asked questions

Is one-percent risk mandatory?

No universal percentage; define an affordable evidence-based limit.

Is margin equal to risk?

No. Exposure, stop and costs determine planned loss.

What if order state is unknown?

Stop sending requests and reconcile Orders/History.

Can I withdraw all free margin?

Not safely by default; preserve the planned buffer.
