Start with the budget, stop distance and currency
In Simple, choose the instrument and direction, balance, account currency, leverage, entry, stop distance, target distance and risk percentage. The stop and target fields are pip distances in this mode, not absolute prices.
Calculate to see the position size and gross stop risk. Use Pro if the preset contract or pip size does not match the instrument, if currencies differ or if you want to include spread, commission and overnight cost. Currency selection is a modelling input, not a list of currencies guaranteed for an Exness account.
Hypothetical calculation
Worked EUR/USD size and margin
Assume a USD 10,000 balance, 1% gross price-risk budget, 50-pip stop, 100,000 units per lot, 0.0001 pip size and entry 1.1000. The budget is USD 100. One lot would lose USD 500 over that distance, so the size is 0.20 lots.
That means EUR 20,000 exposure, USD 22,000 notional and USD 220 simplified margin at 1:100. Pip value is USD 2. A 100-pip target gives USD 200 gross reward, or 2:1 before costs. These are assumed inputs, not recommended settings.
Hypothetical calculation
Add costs and interpret the net result
For the same hypothetical 0.20 lots, a 1-pip spread costs USD 2. If commission is USD 3.50 per lot per side, the round trip costs USD 1.40. With zero swap assumed, total costs are USD 3.40: net risk becomes USD 103.40 and net reward USD 196.60.
The size calculation uses the gross budget before those costs. It does not reduce the lots automatically to keep net risk at USD 100. Also enter commission per side, not a round-trip total, or the formula will count twice the intended commission.
HKD conversion uses a manual assumption
The conversion field means account-currency units for one quote-currency unit. For a hypothetical HKD account with a USD-quoted instrument, entering 7.80 means HKD 7.80 per USD. It is not an exchange rate supplied by Exness or a bank.
Where conversion is needed, use Pro and complete the conversion confirmation. Matching currencies use 1. The model applies one fixed factor to notional and profit/loss; it omits payment markups and changing exchange rates.
What to confirm in the account or terminal
What to confirm in the account or terminal
Use the actual symbol’s contract size, lot step, stop restrictions, fees and current margin requirement before comparing the estimate with an order. This tool does not round to the permitted lot increment or include existing positions, floating profit/loss or dynamic margin tiers.
Exness’s own trading calculator is a separate tool described as using actual market data. This local planner deliberately uses manual assumptions. Its copy button preserves a summary only on your explicit click, without sending the entries to a server.
