We've summarized how leverage works at Exness, the conditions for unlimited leverage, and the applicable restrictions (verified in August 2026. Please be sure to check the official website for the latest terms and conditions).
[Conclusion] Exness is one of the few brokers that offers “unlimited leverage (effectively no upper limit)” if certain conditions are met. However, since restrictions are automatically imposed when available margin increases or around the release of economic indicators, it is essential to understand the rules.
Maximum Leverage at Exness
| Conditions | Maximum Leverage |
|---|---|
| If the conditions for unlimited leverage are met | Unlimited (effectively no upper limit) |
| Normal Conditions | Up to 2,000 times |
| If the available margin increases | Gradual reduction |
Terms and Conditions for Unlimited Leverage
Unlimited leverage is available if the following conditions are met.
- The available margin is less than the equivalent of 5,000 USD
- You must have a trading history of at least 10 trades in a live account, totaling at least 5 lots.
Once the conditions are met, you can change your leverage in the Account Settings section of your Personal Area.
Main Cases Where Leverage Is Limited
Increase in Available Margin
When your available margin reaches the equivalent of 5,000 USD or more, unlimited leverage no longer applies, and the maximum leverage is gradually reduced based on your margin balance.
Times around the release of key economic indicators, weekends, and other similar periods
Around the time key economic indicators are released or during periods of low market liquidity, limits of up to approximately 200 times the order size may be automatically applied to new orders.
Differences by Stock
Depending on the instrument—such as cryptocurrencies or stock indices—different maximum leverage limits may apply. Please check the specifications for each instrument before trading.
How to Change Your Leverage (3 Steps)
- Log in to your Personal Area and open the settings menu for the applicable account
- Select "Maximum Leverage" and choose your desired leverage ratio
- Enter the verification code and confirm (you may not be able to make changes if you have open positions)
The Relationship Between High Leverage and Cashback
Since REBATE ONE's cashback is based on trading volume (number of lots), it is eligible for rebates regardless of the leverage ratio. The more you trade—and the higher your trading volume—with high leverage, the more cashback you will receive. Because Exness uses an auto-rebate system, the cashback is credited directly to your trading account.

FAQ
Unlimited leverage cannot be selected
You may not have met the trading volume requirement (10 or more trades of 5 lots or more), or your available margin may be at least the equivalent of 5,000 USD. Please check the conditions.
Does the cashback rate change if I increase my leverage?
It remains the same. Rebates are based on trading volume, and leverage settings do not affect the rebate rate.
