Exness unlimited leverage needs equity under $5,000 plus 10 closed orders and 5 lots across real accounts. Here is how to enable it in your Personal Area — and when it stops applying.
Exness "Unlimited" leverage is not a default setting, and it is not granted on request: it appears in your account's leverage menu only after your equity is below $5,000 and your real-account trading activity meets the threshold. This guide covers the requirements, the steps to enable it, and when it stops applying.
Unlimited appears in the leverage menu only when all three conditions are met. Demo trades do not count towards the 10 orders or 5 lots.
If Unlimited is missing from the list, recheck the three requirements above — equity and cumulative closed volume are the usual blockers.
Unlimited leverage is tied to equity. Once equity reaches $5,000 or more, unlimited leverage no longer applies and the account falls back to the standard leverage cap for its equity tier. If equity drops below the threshold again, the option usually reappears — confirm what your Personal Area shows. Your registering entity also sets its own maximum leverage, independent of your trading history.
Leverage also varies by instrument: unlimited leverage covers core instruments such as forex, while crypto and indices keep their own fixed caps — check the instrument specifications before you trade.
With unlimited leverage the margin requirement is close to zero, so a small equity balance can support a position far larger than a standard leverage tier would allow. That is the attraction and the main risk. Low margin does not mean low risk: losses are calculated on the full position, so larger positions move your equity faster and can trigger a stop-out sooner. Spreads, commissions and swaps are charged as usual and are not affected by leverage.
A safer approach is to treat leverage as a capital-efficiency tool, not a reason to upsize: keep risk per trade at 1-2% of equity, set a stop-loss when you open, and leave free equity to absorb volatility.
No. Rebates are calculated on traded volume (or as a share of the spread), not on leverage — the same trade pays the same rebate at 1:2000 or at Unlimited. Rates for each Exness account type are on the Exness rebate page; estimate your monthly cashback with the rebate calculator. Still opening your account? Start with the Exness account opening guide and the transfer guide, then trade under our agency so the volume you build towards the threshold also earns rebates.
The usual reasons are equity at or above $5,000, fewer than 10 closed orders or 5 lots in total, or an entity that does not offer unlimited leverage. If it is still missing after checking each point, ask Exness support to confirm.
No separate application is required. The option appears automatically once you qualify and you switch it on yourself in the Personal Area.
Yes. Unlimited leverage applies only while equity is below the threshold; above it, the standard cap for your equity tier applies.
No. Rebates settle on traded volume and withdrawals depend only on available funds — neither is tied to the leverage setting.
Note: rules follow the Exness Help Center and what your Personal Area displays; thresholds and eligible regions can change. Higher leverage magnifies losses as well as gains — size positions to your own risk tolerance.
Standard and Pioneer accounts pay rebates as a percentage of the spread, while Raw and Zero each have a fixed per-lot amount. Only by weighing spread, commission and rebate together can you tell which tier costs less.
