Complete Leverage Trading Guide with Exness in India
Master leverage trading with Exness platform in India. Learn margin requirements, risk management, and step-by-step trading instructions.
Understanding Leverage Trading Fundamentals
Leverage enables Indian traders to control larger market positions by borrowing capital from Exness. We provide leverage ratios up to 1:2000 on forex pairs, allowing greater market exposure with limited initial capital. This amplifies both gains and losses proportionally, requiring careful management. Different asset classes have varying leverage caps; forex instruments offer the highest limits, while commodities and indices have moderate levels. Margin requirements indicate the portion of the position you must fund, calculated automatically by our system for each trade.
Adjusting leverage is possible through your Personal Area on our platform. You can tailor leverage ratios to suit your risk profile, with changes affecting new trades only. This flexibility supports diverse trading strategies within the Indian regulatory framework.
| Instrument Type | Maximum Leverage | Minimum Margin | Typical Spread |
|---|---|---|---|
| Major Forex Pairs | 1:2000 | 0.05% | 0.1 pips |
| Minor Currency Pairs | 1:1000 | 0.1% | 0.5 pips |
| Commodities | 1:200 | 0.5% | Variable |
| Stock Indices | 1:200 | 0.5% | 1.0 points |
| Individual Stocks | 1:20 | 5% | 0.1% |
Setting Up Leverage on Exness Platform
Start by logging into your Personal Area via our website or mobile app. Within the trading accounts section, all your accounts and their leverage settings are visible. Each account type carries specific maximum leverage limits compliant with regulatory standards.
Modifying Leverage Settings
Click the gear icon beside your chosen trading account and select “Change Leverage.” The platform displays available leverage options tailored to that account. Choose the desired ratio and confirm by clicking “Apply Changes.” This adjustment takes effect immediately for new positions.
Account Type Considerations
Standard accounts allow leverage up to 1:2000 on major forex pairs. Professional accounts may offer varied leverage based on classification. Raw Spread accounts provide the same leverage with a commission-based cost structure. Zero accounts support up to 1:2000 leverage with zero spreads during peak hours, while Pro accounts offer institutional-level execution and customizable leverage.
Risk Management with Leveraged Trading
Leverage increases exposure, making risk control essential. We advise risking no more than 1–2% of your account balance per trade regardless of leverage. This preserves capital during unfavorable moves. Our platform includes automatic calculators for position sizing, factoring in leverage impact on potential losses.
Stop Loss Implementation
Every leveraged trade should have a stop loss to cap losses at a predefined level. Exness supports fixed, percentage-based, and trailing stop losses, which trigger automatically upon reaching set prices. Consistent stop loss distances maintain balanced risk across different leverage levels.
Margin Call Protection
Keep track of your margin level via the platform’s dashboard. Margin calls alert you when equity approaches maintenance margin levels. Adding funds or closing losing positions can prevent forced liquidation. Notifications are sent before critical thresholds to enable timely action.
Step-by-Step Leverage Trading Process
Access the Exness web terminal or mobile app and log in with your credentials. Select an account with the desired leverage setting and verify sufficient balance for margin. The market watch displays all available instruments including forex, commodities, and indices.
Placing Leveraged Orders
Right-click your chosen instrument and open the order window. Specify trade volume in lots; the system auto-calculates required margin based on your leverage. Set stop loss and take profit parameters before submitting the order by clicking “Buy” or “Sell.”
Monitoring Active Positions
Use the trade tab to observe open positions, profit/loss, and margin usage in real time. Adjust stop loss or take profit levels as needed. Positions can be closed manually or automatically via exit orders.
| Leverage Ratio | Margin Required | Position Size (1 Lot EUR/USD) | Potential Profit (100 pip move) | Potential Loss (100 pip move) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1:50 | 2% | $100,000 | $1,000 | $1,000 |
| 1:100 | 1% | $100,000 | $1,000 | $1,000 |
| 1:500 | 0.2% | $100,000 | $1,000 | $1,000 |
| 1:1000 | 0.1% | $100,000 | $1,000 | $1,000 |

Regulatory Compliance and Safety Measures
Exness operates under strict global and Indian regulations ensuring transparent trading and fund protection. Client funds are held separately from company assets. Negative balance protection prevents accounts from dropping below zero during volatile markets.
Account Verification Requirements
Indian users must upload valid ID documents such as passport or Aadhaar card and proof of address. Verification grants access to higher leverage and increased deposit limits. Document uploads are processed within 24 hours on business days.
Fund Security Protocols
We employ bank-level encryption and optional two-factor authentication to secure accounts. Deposit and withdrawal methods compatible with Indian banking include bank transfers, digital wallets, and cryptocurrencies, depending on account status and verification.
Advanced Leverage Strategies
Position scaling optimizes leverage use by opening multiple smaller trades instead of one large position. This reduces risk concentration. Correlation analysis helps avoid excessive exposure to related instruments, managing overall portfolio risk effectively.
Hedging with Leverage
Use hedging by opening opposite positions on correlated assets to offset risk. For example, buying EUR/USD while shorting GBP/USD can reduce USD exposure. Our platform supports hedging across account types and allows partial hedges to balance risk and profit potential.
Scalping Applications
High leverage magnifies small price movements, increasing scalping profitability. Our platform’s tight spreads and fast execution support this strategy. Precise entry and exit points are critical when scalping with leverage to avoid significant losses.
| Strategy Type | Recommended Leverage | Risk Level | Time Frame | Success Rate Factors |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scalping | 1:200-1:500 | High | 1-5 minutes | Execution speed, spreads |
| Day Trading | 1:100-1:200 | Medium | 1-4 hours | Market analysis, timing |
| Swing Trading | 1:50-1:100 | Medium | 1-7 days | Trend identification |
| Position Trading | 1:20-1:50 | Low | Weeks-Months | Fundamental analysis |
Common Leverage Trading Mistakes
Overleveraging leads to amplified losses beyond account capacity. New traders should begin with conservative leverage ratios. Ignoring margin requirements may cause unexpected position liquidations during volatility. Always maintain sufficient free margin and use our calculators to plan trades.
Emotional trading often results in poor decisions under leverage pressure. Adhering to a pre-set plan prevents impulsive moves. Practicing on demo accounts first helps understand leverage effects without risking real funds.
