Frequently Asked Questions
Does Exness offer Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) instruments or local Philippine stocks?
Exness does not currently offer direct trading on Philippine Stock Exchange instruments or individual Philippine stocks. Philippine traders can access global markets including international indices, forex pairs, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. For Philippine market exposure, traders can consider USD/PHP currency pair trading.
How does Exness determine the spreads for different trading instruments?
Exness determines spreads based on market liquidity, volatility, and underlying interbank rates. Standard accounts receive mark-up spreads while Raw Spread accounts access direct interbank spreads plus a transparent commission. Major forex pairs offer the tightest spreads, while exotic pairs and less liquid instruments have wider spreads.
Can I trade all instruments using the minimum deposit amount of $10?
Yes, all trading instruments are accessible with the minimum $10 deposit, though practical trading limitations apply. With a $10 balance, position sizing becomes critical. Most instruments allow 0.01 lot (micro lot) trading as the minimum position size. Higher-value instruments like Bitcoin CFDs require more margin per position due to lower leverage ratios.
