Exness Minimum Deposit: The Formal Minimum vs What You Actually Need

The formal minimum

From $10 (depends on payment method). Account types: Standard, Standard Cent, Pro, Raw Spread, Zero. The minimum is the threshold at which the broker opens an account, not the amount at which trading makes sense.

The real minimum for your risk

Risk 1% per trade, and that 1% must be at least the cost of 0.01 lot at your stop. On EURUSD with a 30-pip stop, 0.01 lot costs $3, so the deposit should be $300 or more. With a 50-pip stop, $500. On a cent account the threshold is a hundred times lower, which is why we point beginners there.

Calculate it for your instrument and stop in the position size calculator.

What else eats a small deposit

Spreads and commissions (Standard from 0.3 pips; Raw Spread from 0.0 + $3.5 per lot per side; Zero — zero spread on majors most of the time with commission from $0.2), swaps on held positions, and payment-provider fees. On a $10 deposit one trade can cost a percent of the account before price moves at all.

Where to start small

Cent accounts are available at Vantage and VT Markets from $50.
