Published Exness conditions
EA support is documented; unrestricted HFT is not
An EA is software that can submit trading instructions. HFT describes a style of activity where timing and a high rate of orders or cancellations are central. An EA that trades twice a day and one that repeatedly cancels orders ask very different things of a server.
The Exness EA instructions warn about aggressive settings and irrelevant requests. They do not supply a universal requests-per-second allowance, FIX entitlement or colocation offer. No such service is asserted for Hong Kong clients here.
Describe the strategy before asking about permission
| Detail | What to state |
|---|---|
| Activity | Expected submissions, modifications and cancellations, not just completed trades |
| Infrastructure | MT4/MT5 version, EA and any VPS or external data dependency |
| Markets | Exact symbols and the periods when the routine runs |
| Failure control | Maximum open exposure, retry limit and how new orders stop |
Hypothetical calculation
Small targets leave little room for cost
Assume an algorithm targets 1.5 pips before costs on each completed trade. If the assumed spread is 0.6 pip and round-trip commission is equivalent to 0.7 pip, only 0.2 pip remains before slippage or losses. Repeating that trade more often repeats the costs as well.
This hypothetical example makes no claim about Exness live spreads, latency or fill quality. Test rejected orders and uncertain responses as carefully as completed fills; a timed local request is not a measured execution.
If the EA is disabled or the connection drops
Stop automatic retries and read the open positions and pending orders through a supported terminal. Disabling new submissions does not close previously accepted exposure. Exness directs users to Support hub if an EA cannot be re-enabled manually.
Keep a separate log of requests and returned order IDs. After reconnecting, match them to the account history before starting the routine again. The account’s current records take precedence over an old screen.
CFD trading risk
Leveraged CFDs can cause substantial losses, including the money in your trading account. Margin is not a loss limit, and a stop-loss does not guarantee its execution price.
