Exness Stop Out Level and Margin Call by Account (2026)

Disclosure: OnForex earns a referral commission if you open an Exness account through our links.

Short answer: the Exness stop out level is 0% on all account types (Standard Cent, Standard, Pro, Raw Spread and Zero). The margin call level is 60% on Standard Cent and Standard, and 30% on Pro, Raw Spread and Zero. Clients registered through Exness (KE) Limited (Kenya) and Exness (JO) Limited (Jordan) have a 20% stop out instead. Margin level is equity divided by margin, times 100.

Below you will find the table, the formula, three worked examples, how leverage changes your distance to a stop out, and practical ways to avoid one. All Exness figures come from the Exness Help Center, checked October 27, 2026.

Exness margin call and stop out levels by account type

Account	Margin call	Stop out
Standard Cent	60%	0%
Standard	60%	0%
Pro	30%	0%
Raw Spread	30%	0%
Zero	30%	0%
Clients of Exness (KE) Limited and Exness (JO) Limited	See note	20%

Notes from Exness:

• For stocks, the stop out level can be increased to 100% when market risk is higher. During daily break hours the 0% level is adjusted to 100% for stock orders, which closes open stock orders automatically.
• For Kenya and Jordan the Help Center gives a 20% stop out; the margin call figure for those entities is not given separately in the table we checked, so confirm it in your Personal Area.
• Exness says 0% stop out is not supported in some countries and may vary with market conditions and your trading activity.

Key terms in plain English

• Equity: balance plus or minus floating profit/loss and swaps.
• Margin: funds held to open and keep an order open. Higher leverage means lower margin per position.
• Free margin: equity not used as margin, available for new orders.
• Margin level: (Equity / Margin) x 100%.
• Margin call: an alert when margin level drops to a set threshold, warning you to add funds or close orders.
• Stop out: automatic closure of orders when margin level hits the stop out level.

For the underlying maths see our forex margin guide.

The formula and how stop out works

Margin level = (Equity / Margin) x 100%

When the level falls to the stop out level, the platform closes orders automatically. At Exness, stop out closes multiple open orders starting with the least profitable ones until the margin level is back above the stop out level. Hedged orders are included.

Because the stop out is 0% on most accounts, it is reached when equity falls to zero. Exness points out that many brokers set stop out around 10-30%, so orders there close while funds remain. A lower stop out gives trades more room but also means a deeper loss before the system steps in.

Worked example 1: Help Center scenario

Exness's own example uses margin of USD 10:

Equity	Margin	Margin level	What happens
USD 50	USD 10	500%	Normal
USD 6	USD 10	60%	No stop out; on a Standard account this is the margin call level
USD 1	USD 10	10%	Margin call, no stop out yet
USD 0	USD 10	0%	Stop out: orders close until the level is above 0%

Worked example 2: a 0.10 lot EUR/USD trade (illustrative)

These numbers are our own illustration with a price of 1.1000 and are not live quotes. Pip value for 0.10 lot of EUR/USD is about USD 1 per pip.

• Account: Standard, balance USD 100, leverage 1:500.
• Position: buy 0.10 lot EUR/USD. Notional is 10,000 EUR, about USD 11,000.
• Margin: 11,000 / 500 = USD 22.
• Starting margin level: 100 / 22 = about 455%.
• Margin call (60%) happens when equity is about USD 13.2, a floating loss of about USD 86.8, or roughly 87 pips against you.
• Stop out (0%) happens when equity reaches USD 0, a loss of about USD 100, or roughly 100 pips.

Worked example 3: the same trade as a Kenya client (illustrative)

For a client of Exness (KE) Limited, maximum leverage is 1:400 and the stop out is 20%.

• Balance USD 100, buy 0.10 lot EUR/USD at 1.1000, leverage 1:400.
• Margin: 11,000 / 400 = USD 27.50. Starting margin level: about 364%.
• Stop out at 20% happens when equity is 27.50 x 0.20 = USD 5.50, a loss of about USD 94.50, or roughly 94-95 pips.

The 20% rule closes trades slightly earlier than 0%, but with Kenya's lower leverage the margin used is higher. See our Exness Kenya guide for the entity details.

How leverage affects your stop out risk

The Help Center shows the effect with a USD 100 account and a 1% adverse move on USDCHF:

Scenario	Trade size	Required margin	After a 1% move
Leverage 1:500	0.5 lot	USD 100	Loss of about USD 500 on the position, equity falls to USD 0, stop out is triggered
Leverage 1:50	0.05 lot	USD 100	Loss of about USD 50, equity USD 50, no stop out

The lesson is not that high leverage is forbidden. It is that position size, not the leverage setting, decides your risk. You can use 1:2000 and still trade tiny lots. See our Exness leverage guide for the equity-based limits.

Stop Out Protection

Exness offers Stop Out Protection to delay and sometimes avoid stop outs during volatility or spread widening. Points to know:

• It is not supported for clients of Exness (KE) Limited and Exness (JO) Limited.
• It may not always be available. Availability depends on Exness's models of your conditions and activity, and it can be disabled if a strategy relies on it heavily or misuses it.
• Do not plan your risk around it. Treat it as a bonus buffer.

Negative Balance Protection

If a stop out leaves your balance below zero, Exness resets it to 0. In its example a USD 100 balance with a USD 150 loss would be restored from -50 to 0. A caveat from Exness: if you deposit while orders are still open and equity is negative but balance is positive, that negative equity is not covered and is deducted from your deposit. Wait until all orders are closed before topping up an account that has been stopped out.

How to avoid a stop out

1. Size positions from your stop loss. Decide the amount you accept to lose (for example 1% of equity), then derive the lot size. See position sizing and risk management.
2. Always set a stop loss. It closes the order at your level, before the system does it at a worse one.
3. Watch margin level, not only profit. Keep it far above the margin call level.
4. Hold spare free margin and avoid opening many positions that use most of your equity.
5. Be careful around news and the weekend gap. Spreads widen and prices jump.
6. Test on a demo account with the same settings first: Exness demo account.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Exness stop out level?

0% on all account types: Standard Cent, Standard, Pro, Raw Spread and Zero. Clients registered through Exness (KE) Limited and Exness (JO) Limited have a 20% stop out.

What is the Exness margin call level?

60% for Standard Cent and Standard accounts, and 30% for Pro, Raw Spread and Zero accounts.

Which orders does Exness close first in a stop out?

Starting with the least profitable orders, one after another, until the margin level is back above the stop out level.

How do I calculate margin level?

Divide equity by margin and multiply by 100. For example equity USD 50 and margin USD 10 gives 500%.

Does Exness have Stop Out Protection for Kenya?

No. Exness says Stop Out Protection is not supported for Exness (KE) Limited and Exness (JO) Limited clients.

Can I lose more than I deposit at Exness?

Exness has Negative Balance Protection, which resets a negative balance to zero after a stop out. Deposit only after all orders are closed, because negative equity with open orders is not covered.

Is the stop out different for stocks?

Yes. The level can be raised to 100% in times of increased market risk, and during daily break hours the stock stop out is adjusted to 100%.

Is a low stop out safer?

Not necessarily. A 0% stop out lets trades run longer, but it means a loss of nearly all equity before the stop. Safety comes from position size and stop losses.
