Exness Raw Spread Account Setup

Understanding Raw Spread Account Technology

Our company offers the Raw Spread account tailored for professional traders requiring direct market access. This account connects you to liquidity providers through Electronic Communication Network (ECN) technology. It provides spreads starting at 0.0 pips on major currency pairs such as EUR/USD and GBP/USD.

We use Straight Through Processing (STP) execution, sending orders straight to liquidity partners without intervention. This guarantees transparent pricing and removes conflicts of interest. Leverage is available up to 1:2000 for forex and 1:200 for CFDs under this account.

Commissions are charged per trade, replacing spread markups. For forex, the commission is $3.50 per lot per side, varying for CFDs. This model offers clear cost structures and often reduces total trading expenses.

The account requires a minimum deposit of $200 with multiple base currency options such as USD, EUR, and ZAR. Namibian clients benefit from ZAR base accounts, avoiding currency conversion fees due to the Namibian Dollar’s parity with the South African Rand.

Account Registration Process for Namibian Residents

Namibian traders can register easily through our online portal. Begin by visiting our official website and clicking the “Open Account” button. Provide your email, create a password, and select Namibia as your country.

Fill in personal details exactly as on your ID documents, including full name and birthdate. Choose your preferred account currency; USD, EUR, or ZAR are recommended for Namibian users.

Document Verification Requirements

Upload valid identification documents such as Namibian passports, national ID cards, or driver’s licenses. Ensure images are clear and show all edges of the documents.

Provide proof of residence from the last three months, like utility bills or bank statements with your full name and Namibian address. Mobile phone bills or credit card statements are not accepted.

After submission, verification typically completes within 24 hours on business days. Confirmation is sent by email once approved.

Account Funding Options

Deposit funds via bank wire transfers, Visa, Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller, or cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tether. Electronic payments are mostly instant; bank transfers take 1-3 business days.

The minimum deposit for Raw Spread accounts is $200 or equivalent in your base currency. We do not charge fees for deposits; however, payment providers may impose their own charges.

We offer four platforms compatible with Raw Spread accounts: MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, Exness Terminal (web-based), and the Exness mobile app. Each supports advanced charting, automated trading, and multi-device synchronization.

Trading Instruments and Market Access

Our Raw Spread account provides access to over 120 instruments including forex and CFDs. Forex options cover 34 pairs, spanning majors, minors, and exotics. CFDs include indices, commodities, stocks, metals, and energy products.

Major forex pairs such as EUR/USD offer spreads from 0.0 pips during active hours. Minor pairs range from 0.1 to 0.3 pips. Exotic pairs have wider spreads reflecting liquidity conditions.

Forex Trading Specifications

We support standard lots (100,000 units), mini lots (10,000 units), and micro lots (1,000 units) for most pairs. Lot sizes adjust in 0.01 increments, allowing precise risk control.

Trading hours align with the global forex market from Sunday 22:00 GMT to Friday 22:00 GMT. We maintain continuous pricing except brief daily maintenance breaks.

Swap rates apply for overnight positions, influenced by interest rate differentials. Positive swaps occur on long positions with higher-yielding currencies.

CFD Product Range

Stock CFDs cover major exchanges like NYSE, NASDAQ, LSE, and European markets, including companies like Apple and Tesla. Leverage is capped at 1:20 for retail clients.

Index CFDs include S&P 500, FTSE 100, DAX 30, and others. Commodities include metals like gold and silver, energy products such as crude oil, and agricultural goods. Trading hours depend on underlying markets.

Order Types and Execution Features

We provide various order types to support multiple trading strategies. Market orders execute instantly at current prices. Limit orders specify desired entry or exit prices.

Stop orders trigger market orders once price levels are reached. Stop-loss orders automatically close positions to limit losses. Take-profit orders secure gains at predefined levels.

Advanced Order Management

Trailing stops move dynamically with favorable price changes, maintaining a set distance from current prices. This feature helps lock in profits during trends.

One-Cancels-Other (OCO) orders link stop-loss and take-profit orders on the same position. Execution of one cancels the other, reducing manual monitoring.

Pending orders include Buy Stop, Sell Stop, Buy Limit, and Sell Limit, enabling automated entries while away from the platform.

Risk Management Tools and Features

Our platform includes comprehensive risk controls vital for professional trading. Negative balance protection ensures accounts do not go below zero, removing debt risks.

Automatic stop-out triggers at 60% margin level for Raw Spread accounts, closing positions to protect remaining equity. Margin calls are issued at 80%.

Position Sizing Calculations

Use our built-in risk calculator to determine correct lot sizes. Input balance, risk percentage, and stop-loss pips to get ideal position size.

For instance, a $5,000 balance with 2% risk and 50-pip stop-loss results in a 2-lot size, risking $100 consistently.

Monitor margin via the account panel: free margin shows funds available for new trades, used margin shows allocated funds, and margin level indicates safety.

Hedging and Netting Options

MetaTrader platforms support hedging (multiple positions per instrument) and netting (single net position). Hedging suits grid and correlation strategies, netting simplifies position management.

Choose your mode during account setup or contact support to change existing settings.

Spreads and Commission Structure Analysis

Raw Spread accounts offer variable spreads that depend on market liquidity and conditions. During London and New York session overlap, spreads tighten significantly. Off-hours may widen spreads.

Liquidity is sourced from top-tier banks and institutions. Our aggregation technology selects best bid and ask prices in real time for optimal pricing.

Commission Calculation Methods

Forex commissions are charged per lot per side; a 1-lot EUR/USD trade costs $7 total. Partial position closures are charged proportionally.

CFD commissions differ by product type. Stock CFDs charge a percentage with minimum and maximum fees. Index CFDs use fixed per-lot fees similar to forex.

Commission charges are visible immediately upon position open or close and are itemized separately from spreads.

Total Trading Cost Analysis

Combine spread and commission to calculate total costs. For a 1-lot EUR/USD trade with 0.1 pip spread and $7 commission, total is about $8 (0.1 pip equals $1 plus $7 commission).

Compared to commission-free accounts with 0.3 pip spreads costing $3 per lot, Raw Spread is more cost-efficient for larger trades or higher frequency.

Transparency in commission charges is preferred by professional traders over embedded spread markups.

Platform Performance and Technical Infrastructure

Our infrastructure includes data centers in London, New York, and Hong Kong to reduce latency. Average order execution speed is under 25 milliseconds during normal trading.

99.9% uptime is maintained via redundant servers and automatic failover. Real-time monitoring quickly addresses technical issues.
