Seamless exits: The next frontier of trading?

For every trader, the journey begins with analysis, but it must end with a result. The most critical moments in trading are not when you enter a position, but when you choose to exit. This is where strategy meets reality, and where a broker’s true value is tested.

A “seamless exit” is the new frontier of this experience, and it has two parts: first, closing your trade with the speed and pricing you expect, and second, withdrawing your funds instantly and without stress.

When these final steps are plagued by unreliable execution, wide spreads, or withdrawal delays, potential returns can turn into frustration. It creates a gap between the traders’ hard-earned success and their tangible results.

True platform reliability, therefore, is about closing this gap. It’s about engineering an environment where exits are smooth and efficient, providing a frictionless experience to every trader’s strategy. This level of performance isn’t a coincidence; it’s the direct result of a broker’s core infrastructure, which is what separates promises from proof.
Why platform performance matters more than ever
Today’s markets move fast, with sudden spikes in volatility making execution speed and pricing accuracy more important than ever. Traders using outdated platforms face risks, including delays and wider spreads. In this kind of environment, traders look for brokers that offer real, measurable performance, instead of empty promises.

Exness stands out thanks to its proprietary pricing and execution technology. Instead of depending on external liquidity providers, Exness manages execution, pricing, and risk entirely in-house. This gives traders a level of consistency that’s hard to match, even when markets become unpredictable.

Pricing engineered for stability
When markets surge, spreads usually widen, and trades can end up executing at different prices than expected. This is because many brokers act as middlemen, passing on prices from external liquidity providers along with their own markup. The result? High and unpredictable execution costs for traders, especially during major news events and economic announcements.
Exness addresses this with its own market-making model, acting as the liquidity provider and matching client orders internally. By acting as the liquidity broker and matching clients' orders under the hood, Exness is able to absorb volatility shocks.
The result is a dual advantage: precise execution during volatility1 and consistently tighter spreads, especially on high-volume instruments like gold (XAUUSD), bitcoin (BTCUSD), and oil (USOIL)2. This gives traders the pricing accuracy they need to plan with confidence.
More control with no surprises
Exness’ technology goes beyond trade execution. Its instant withdrawal system processes about 98% of requests automatically3. Traders can manage their funds with full transparency (no hidden fees or fine print), giving complete control over their funds without any surprises.
Exness also gives traders more control through its unique approach to risk management. One standout feature is 0% stop-out level4, which gives traders extra room to navigate market swings without the risk of immediate position closures. This helps support long-term and more strategic trading (even in volatile conditions).
Risk management to rely on
Exness takes protection a step further with Negative Balance Protection, a key feature that ensures traders never lose more than their balance. During major market spikes, this safeguard is triggered automatically every time. Instead of letting accounts fall into negative territory, Exness resets them to zero.
Built to prove, not promise
The Exness trading environment isn’t the result of chance; it’s carefully designed. The platform’s philosophy is not just about advanced technology, but about applying meticulous standards to every part of the trading experience.

This is reinforced by the role of the company’s proactive monitoring systems, which detect and fix issues before traders even notice. The company acts swiftly and transparently. If its systems detect an issue, it resolves and compensates affected traders automatically, reflecting its commitment to accountability.

In the end, Exness’ approach gives traders a platform built to handle market volatility without sacrificing performance. With its focus on internal liquidity, accurate pricing, and strong risk controls, Exness sets a high standard for broker reliability. For today’s serious traders, the choice is clear: It’s about results, not promises.

Kojo FOREX on trading growth: Why mindset outperforms the tools

Kojo FOREX shares how mindset, not tools, drives success in trading, offering practical insights for discipline, growth, and control.


Success in trading isn’t built overnight or by copying someone else’s strategy. That’s one of the core messages from Kojo FOREX, a seasoned trader and financial educator whose insights have helped shape the perspective of thousands of aspiring market participants.
In a recent discussion with Exness Head of Partnership, Nima Siar, Kojo unpacked the realities of trading growth, emphasizing that true progress is less about finding the “perfect tool” and more about developing the right mindset. His experience offers a compelling reminder: in forex, the most valuable asset is discipline.

Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klnnGEQMnZM

The trader's journey starts with self-awareness
“The biggest thing was realizing that I lack discipline,” Kojo reflects. “It doesn’t mean that I am undisciplined, but having that awareness has had a positive effect on my life.”
Kojo’s trading journey began like many others: seeking tools, indicators, and systems that promised consistency. Over time, however, he came to understand that no strategy could compensate for a lack of discipline, poor risk management, or emotional trading.
This realization forms the foundation of his message: sustainable trading isn’t about prediction, it’s about preparation. “That’s where internal locus of control comes in. You just have to own it,” he said.

Mindset over mechanics
While technical knowledge is important, Kojo emphasizes that without discipline, even the most sophisticated systems fall short.
As he explains, two traders can have the exact same system, and one will succeed while the other fails. Why? Because mindset dictates how you use the system, how you handle drawdowns, and how you stick to the rules.

This sentiment resonates deeply in retail trading communities, where the allure of fast profits often overshadows the long-term process of developing trading maturity.
Kojo challenges that thinking. “You want to be a trader. You add the psychological aspect to it and the risk management. But what about a strategy? Do you have that edge in the markets?” He further explains that traders need to be able to separate themselves from the millions of traders in banks.

Why education matters more than ever
Throughout the conversation, Kojo consistently emphasizes a key theme: trader education.
He advocates for learning environments that go beyond signal groups and focus on building foundational knowledge: understanding risk, reading price action, and thinking probabilistically.
Kojo also encourages new traders to slow down. No one can go full-time on day one and he encourages everyone to treat trading as a skill, as something you study and refine over the years.
This perspective aligns with Exness’ approach to trader support, which emphasizes education, risk protection, and transparency as the pillars of long-term success.
The right tools support the right habits

Every seasoned trader acknowledges that quality infrastructure matters. The right platform can enhance trading, but only if the trader behind it is prepared.
Brokers like Exness offer tools that support trader control, including:
Fast and precise execution1 even in volatile conditions.


Tight and stable spreads2 on major assets like XAUUSD and BTCUSD.


98% of withdrawals processed automatically3, helping traders stay liquid.


Negative Balance Protection, which resets accounts to zero in extreme volatility.
But Kojo is clear that these features are most powerful in the hands of traders who respect risk and operate with structure.
Trading as a lifelong skillset
Kojo encourages traders to think beyond quick gains and instead focus on building habits that serve them long-term.
“The one emotion that’s helped me the most is patience,” he said. “You have to have that mental fortitude to build back up after a setback.”
He warns against shortcuts and promotes a mindset of continuous learning. Exness shares this philosophy, which is reflected in its client-centric values, ethical practices, and platform reliability.

Control, consistency, and the true advantage of a trader
In an industry often clouded by hype, Kojo’s perspective is a refreshing return to fundamentals. His advice for aspiring traders is simple but powerful:

Learn to manage yourself before managing your trades
Focus on consistency, not speed
Invest in education over shortcuts
Use tools that empower, not distract, you
And always, always prioritize risk management

Ultimately, as Kojo puts it, “Focus on your strategy, that’s what separates you from the masses. Once you conquer your strategy, then you can have the time to deal with the emotional part of it.”

Control in your hands: How fast withdrawals redefine trader autonomy

What does autonomy really mean for a trader? In a world of fluctuating markets, it must be more than simply choosing an asset and a direction. True autonomy is the capacity to act decisively on market opportunities, manage risk effectively, and access one's capital without restriction. It’s a holistic sense of empowerment that many seek, but few find.

This complete control rests on three fundamental pillars: unrestricted access to your capital, unwavering confidence in your risk parameters, and the flawless execution of your strategy. Recognizing this, Exness has engineered its entire platform not just to facilitate trades, but to deliver this trifecta of control, placing true autonomy directly into the hands of traders.

The foundation: Unrestricted control of your capital
The most potent symbol of control is the ability to access your own money, whenever you want, without friction or delay. In an industry where withdrawal processes are often slow, opaque, and a source of anxiety, Exness has established a new benchmark. The broker’s philosophy is simple: your funds are yours, and accessing them should be effortless.

To make this a reality, Exness has built an automated payments infrastructure, powered by a sophisticated proprietary system that streamlines everything from client verification to payment processing. The result of this technology is clear: an industry-leading 98% of withdrawal requests are processed automatically. This level of automation means traders can access their funds 24/7¹, solidifying Exness’s position as the provider of the fastest withdrawals in the market¹.
The safety net: Control over risk and confidence
But control over your funds is only the first step. True autonomy requires the confidence to engage with the markets on your own terms, especially when they are volatile. Exness extends control from the trader's wallet to their active positions by building a fortress of trust around their trading activity.
This is exemplified by two unique, trader-centric features. First, the broker guarantees that traders are covered by Negative Balance Protection². This fundamental safety net ensures traders will never owe more than their balance adding an extra layer of peace of mind even in extreme market movements.
Second, the proprietary 0% stop out level gives traders ultimate control over their positions during turbulent periods. This feature helps delay or even avoid stop outs by allowing positions to remain open until the margin level reaches zero. As a result, Exness clients experience 3x fewer stop outs4 compared to competitors with higher thresholds. This gives them more breathing room to manage trades through temporary fluctuations, preventing premature closure and giving their strategy a better chance to succeed.
The final piece: Flawless control over your strategy
With your capital liquid and your positions secure, the final pillar of autonomy is ensuring your strategic decisions translate perfectly into market outcomes. A brilliant strategy is meaningless if it is undermined by high costs or poor execution.

Exness tackles this head-on with a proprietary pricing engine and advanced execution algorithms. This infrastructure is engineered to absorb market shocks and deliver stability when it matters most, giving traders critical control over their entry and exit points. Clients benefit from the tightest and most stable spreads in the market on key instruments like XAUUSD, BTCUSD, and USOIL,5 which directly lowers trading costs and keeps strategies intact during volatility.
This stability is paired with performance. Exness provides the most precise execution in the market⁵, which aims to fill orders at the best available price with minimal delay. This level of precision means that a strategy works as designed, giving traders ultimate control over their performance and P&L.
An ecosystem built for autonomy

Exness has demonstrated that true trader autonomy isn't about a single feature, but a fully integrated ecosystem designed for empowerment. The journey begins with the philosophy of full control, proven by the market's fastest withdrawals, but it extends into every facet of the trading experience.
From the financial control of your capital, to the psychological control over risk, and finally to the strategic control over your execution, Exness has systematically removed barriers and placed power where it belongs: in your hands.

How Exness uses technology to deliver reliable liquidity, pricing, and execution

Liquidity and price accuracy are central to online CFD (contracts for difference) trading, but few brokers explain how they deliver either. Exness, a global multi-asset broker, handles things differently by building its own pricing engine and using its own balance sheet to manage risk internally. Ultimately, it acts as the liquidity provider for its clients. 

We spoke with David Morris, CEO of Exness UK, and Milica Nikolic, Exness’ Trading Product Operations Team Leader, to learn how the broker approaches price discovery and liquidity provision.

Liquidity provision and execution quality

One of the biggest challenges faced by any broker is maintaining execution quality when trading activity spikes or markets become volatile. For brokers who forward orders to external vendors, sudden changes in pricing or liquidity can introduce delays, widen spreads, or lead to missed fills.

At Exness, trades are filled using the company’s own liquidity, where Exness is the sole counterparty. This means the broker absorbs the risk by providing liquidity directly and pricing all trades at prevailing market price levels. 

“We’re able to price and fill trades faster and more consistently because we’re creating our own price from numerous sources, and not relying on external liquidity. That gives us much tighter control over execution* during volatility or low market liquidity,” says Nikolic. 

“A-book brokers only earn what they charge on top of their liquidity providers’ costs, and exchanges earn the commission they charge on top of the spread. At Exness, we own our pricing and this gives us the flexibility to offer tight spreads** without additional markups, helping keep trading costs lower for our clients,” she adds.

This internal liquidity model effectively removes market impact, even for clients placing large orders, and allows the broker to offer stable conditions even during high-volatility events. Because Exness does not route trades to external venues, client orders do not move the market or suffer from spread widening. Orders are matched directly against Exness’ own book, giving the broker the ability to meet client demand more dynamically and protect execution quality at scale.

Pricing logic built in-house

Exness uses a proprietary pricing engine that aggregates data from multiple sources rather than relying on a single feed and processes it using internal logic. The engine is backed by quantitative models and scoring algorithms that monitor process data in real time. 

“We don’t simply rely on external price feeds, we apply our own logic and filtering. The goal is to produce executable prices with spreads that remain stable. This gives us greater control and full accountability for the price our clients see, ” explains Nikolic.

Clients can also review Exness’ historical pricing across its offering to verify how their trades were priced and filled. Exness publishes its tick history directly on its website, dating back to 2015, reflecting its commitment to transparency. 

According to Nikolic, “If we say our pricing is accurate, consistent, and competitive, we should be able to show it. Traders can audit our pricing independently using our published tick data. That’s the level of transparency we want to set as standard.”

Technology that extends beyond the platform

Exness’ internal systems go beyond pricing. Risk controls, withdrawals, KYC, and partner commissions are all built on real-time infrastructure, designed to reduce latency, eliminate manual intervention, and support scale.

This seamless integration is intentional. “We built a unified platform where trading, payments, and risk management all speak the same language,” says Morris. “The efficiency we gain in one area makes us better in others, such as payments or compliance.”

Even with a highly engineered system, issues can occur: pricing interruptions, execution anomalies, or unexpected market conditions. What happens next is just as important.

Exness runs dedicated monitoring and incident response systems to detect anomalies as they happen. “If something happens in execution or pricing, our system usually catches it before clients do. We don’t wait for tickets, if a client is affected, we act on it and compensate automatically where justified, before it's even noticed or requested by them,” says Nikolic.

As Morris puts it, “It’s not just about trading infrastructure, it’s about applying the same thinking to everything we do. The more we control, the more we can improve, and the more benefits we can deliver to our traders.”

Final thoughts

By building its own liquidity and pricing infrastructure, Exness reduces the reliance on external providers, bringing speed, reliability, and transparency to traders. Its ability to manage risk internally means pricing remains stable even when volatility surges. And because every part of the traders’ lifecycle is monitored and controlled by Exness’ systems, the clients benefit from faster execution, fewer errors, and real accountability. For Exness, providing liquidity and accurate price discovery is a strategic advantage, engineered from the ground up to support serious traders.

Spreads may fluctuate and widen due to factors including market volatility and liquidity, news releases, economic events, when markets open or close, and the type of instruments being traded.

Frictionless trading experience: How fast withdrawals set the new benchmark for trust

In the trader-broker relationship, trust is the bedrock of the client-broker relationship. It’s an assurance that the platform they use is not only secure but also operates with transparency and integrity. While many firms speak about trust, its true measure is found not in words, but in verifiable actions.

Perhaps the most powerful indicator of a broker's trustworthiness is the ease and speed with which a client can access their own funds. It is a fundamental test of a broker's reliability. By engineering an exceptionally efficient withdrawal process, Exness has turned this critical interaction into more than a feature; it has set a new industry benchmark for building trust.

Withdrawals as a trust metric
The withdrawal process is a recurring moment of truth for every trader. In an industry where delays, manual processing, and a lack of clarity can cause friction and doubt, a swift and transparent experience builds immediate confidence. Exness addresses this head-on by leveraging a highly automated and robust payments infrastructure.

This is powered by a sophisticated proprietary system that streamlines client verification and payment processing, enabling an impressive 98% of withdrawal requests to be processed automatically. The result is a consistent and reliable experience, allowing traders to access their funds 24/7¹. For this reason, Exness is recognized for offering the fastest withdrawals in the market¹, transforming a potential point of friction into a testament of reliability. When a broker removes obstacles to accessing capital, it sends a clear and powerful signal of trust.

Reinforcing trust through platform safeguards
A frictionless withdrawal experience establishes a strong foundation of trust, which is then solidified by protective systems designed to safeguard a trader's capital. These features act as a broker's commitment to client safety, demonstrating that the platform is built with the trader's security at its core.
Exness exemplifies this with two key features. First is the standard provision of Negative Balance Protection², a critical safety net ensuring a trader’s account balance cannot go below zero. This protects clients from incurring debt to the broker during extreme market volatility. Second, the proprietary 0% stop out level gives traders more control over their positions. This unique feature helps prevent premature closure, leading to Exness clients experiencing 3x fewer stop outs³ compared to competitors with standard industry thresholds. These transparent and predictable rules create a secure environment where traders can operate with greater confidence.
Trust in performance
With trust established in funds access and platform safety, the final component is trusting the platform to perform with integrity. This trust can be quickly eroded by unpredictable costs from unstable spreads or by unreliable execution that fails to reflect a trader’s intentions.
Exness builds trust in its performance by providing consistently stable trading conditions, even during high-impact news events. The broker’s proprietary pricing engine offers clients the tightest and most stable spreads in the market on key instruments⁴. This transparency in pricing means traders face fewer unexpected costs, allowing them to manage their strategies with greater certainty.
This is complemented by a commitment to execution quality. By providing the most precise execution in the market⁵, Exness aims to fill orders at the best available price with minimal delay. This focus on reliable execution ensures that the platform consistently operates in a way that respects the trader's strategic goals.
A benchmark built on action
Genuine trust is not a marketing slogan; it is the cumulative result of a broker's verifiable actions. By creating a truly frictionless experience, Exness demonstrates its trustworthiness at every point of the trading journey.
The process begins with the simple but powerful promise of fast, automated withdrawals and extends through every feature on the platform. By building its ecosystem on a foundation of reliability, safety, and transparency, Exness has created an environment where traders can operate with the highest level of confidence.

Exness launches bold new global campaign, putting traders at the heart of the story

Exness, one of the world’s largest retail brokers, has launched its latest global brand campaign, expanding on the impact of last year’s “Born to Trade.” The new campaign dives deeper into the mindset of the modern trader—capturing the drive, focus, and emotional highs and lows that come with every trading session.

At the campaign's core is a high-production, visually striking concept that brings to life what trading really feels like—from the anticipation before entering a position to the thrill of making the right call. It’s a fresh, high-impact take on what drives traders and what keeps them coming back.

Watch here: https://exness.social/4dIt3Td

Alfonso Cardalda, Exness Chief Marketing Officer, commented, “Traders don’t just react to the markets, they live them. We understand that, for them, trading is more than a profession; it’s a calling. This campaign is built to speak directly to traders’ hearts and minds. It captures the adrenaline, drive, and mindset that define real traders while reinforcing what sets us apart: reliable performance, superior products, and a deep understanding of the trader’s world. At Exness, we know exactly what traders feel, think, and need, and with this campaign, we are connecting with our traders on a deeper level. That’s why we continue to be the broker of choice for over a million active traders worldwide. ”

Driven by the insight that every trader sees themselves as part of a special breed— ambitious, bold, independent—the campaign reinforces Exness’ role as the broker for those who are Born to Trade. It highlights two foundational pillars of the brand:
• Traders as heroes: Portraying traders as heroes in an aspirational light.
• Product as an enabler: Showcasing Exness’ unmatched technology and market-leading features such as seamless withdrawals, tight and stable spreads*, and fast execution.

From sharp visuals to immersive storytelling, everything is designed to connect with traders on a deeper level. It’s a cinematic tribute to every trader's journey–from moments of doubt to decisive actions.

With a global rollout across various channels and platforms, the campaign cements Exness’ position as the trusted broker that truly understands traders and gives them the edge they seek.
Founded in 2008, Exness is a global multi-asset broker on a mission to reshape the online trading industry. Since its inception, the company has focused on creating the ultimate trading experience through large-scale investment in technology and infrastructure. Exness' fresh approach resonates with traders worldwide, growing the company into one of the most prominent retail brokers in the sector.

* "Best spreads" means the tightest and most stable spreads. "Most stable" refers to the lowest maximum spreads, and "tightest" refers to the tightest average spreads – offered on Exness Pro accounts – for certain instruments. These are compared to spreads across commission-free accounts of other top brokers over the specified period.

Inflation fears prompt new trading practices

The March Consumer Price Index (CPI) report is expected to be a turning point — and possibly the last time inflation appears to ease. That’s the warning from economists as President Trump’s aggressive tariff strategy reshapes the market narrative. For Exness traders, this is more than a headline — it’s a signal to re-evaluate risk, opportunity, and how they approach the weeks ahead.

Sticky inflation meets tariff escalation
According to forecasts, annual headline inflation for March is expected to cool to 2.5%, with core inflation hovering around 3.0%. Shelter costs are easing, but sticky services like insurance and healthcare are keeping the core number elevated. However, none of these figures reflect the impact of Trump’s new 10% baseline tariffs, which came into effect days ago.

China faces a unique blow: a separate 125% tariff hike targeting its exports, on top of a wave of country-specific and industry-focused tariffs. While the White House has granted a 90-day pause for some countries, the underlying policy remains aggressive.

How this impacts Exness traders
The implications are clear — inflation is likely to rise again, and markets are preparing for it. Exness traders need to pay attention to key assets that respond quickly to these dynamics.

US Dollar pairs (e.g., DXY, EURUSD, USDJPY) may become more volatile as rate cut expectations shrink and inflationary pressures mount. If inflation surges back above 3%, the Fed could delay or even reverse dovish signals.
Gold (XAUUSD) and Silver (XAGUSD) are classic safe-havens. The uncertainty around tariffs, inflation, and interest rates is already pushing demand for metals higher.
US indices (US500, US30, USTEC) may rally on cooling inflation — but any spike in CPI could reverse those gains instantly. Traders should beware of false breakouts.
Chinese equities on Exness, like BABA, JD.com, NIO, and XPEV, face pressure from both supply chain disruption and direct trade barriers. With 125% tariffs looming, these stocks may underperform.
What to watch next
Fed Chair Jerome Powell has made it clear — the Fed is in “wait-and-see” mode. If the March CPI marks a low point, expect hawkish commentary and potential volatility in fixed income and equities. Here’s what Exness traders should keep an eye on:

CPI and PPI reports over the next two months — signs of acceleration could shift market sentiment fast.
Fed speeches and minutes — subtle shifts in tone may move USD pairs dramatically.
Further trade policy announcements — especially if the 90-day pause on tariffs ends with another wave of duties.
Emerging market currencies and commodities — particularly those tied to China and North America.
Trade with insight, not reaction
This is a moment for strategy, not emotion. Volatility offers opportunity, but only for those who manage risk effectively. If you’re testing new ideas or want to analyze different inflation scenarios, try the Exness demo account with zero risk.

Exness review guide: how to know your broker is trusted and also good

Choosing the right CFD broker is one of the most important decisions a trader can make. A trustworthy broker provides fair trading conditions, fast and reliable withdrawals, and a secure environment in which to explore the markets. A bad broker might lock up your funds, ignore your messages, and even vanish overnight.

With so many options available, how can you tell whether a broker is legitimate? In this guide, we’ll break down the key things to look for, and later, we’ll put Exness to the test.

Regulation: The first and most important check
A regulated broker operates under strict financial guidelines, ensuring fair trading practices. Before trusting any broker, check if it's licensed by recognized financial authorities. There are many other regulatory bodies around the world protecting their own regions with standards they feel are most important. If a broker has a regulatory licence, make sure it’s a legitimate claim. Basically, the more regulatory licences a broker has, the safer the choice.

A legitimate broker should display its license numbers on its website as a way to verify them through official regulatory websites. If you can't verify a broker's license, that's a major red flag.

Transparency: A broker should have nothing to hide
A reputable broker has a visible presence. It should have a physical office location, detailed company history, and a leadership team you can verify.

Look for:

A well-established website with detailed trading conditions
A presence on LinkedIn, where employees are publicly listed
Social media accounts with years of activity and real engagement
Scam brokers tend to have websites that lack details about the company. As for offices, every legit broker is listed on Google maps. If a broker doesn’t show at least one office location, they don’t want to be found, and that’s another huge warning sign.

Deposits and withdrawals: Test before you trust
Once you’ve found a broker that checks all the boxes, time to check their trading conditions and transactional efficiency. Before committing large sums of money, see if they offer virtual trading or a risk-free demo account. A demo account lets new clients get to know the trading platform and experiment on live markets without risking capital. If the platform performs reliably, there’s a good chance the broker has a large IT team managing it. A good sign.

If everything looks good, test the broker with a small deposit and withdrawal. A legitimate broker will process the request within the stated timeframe and won’t create unnecessary delays or demand excessive documentation.

Trading conditions: Look for fair spreads and reliable execution
A broker’s trading conditions should be clear, fair, and competitive. Tight spreads, reliable order execution, and a stable trading environment indicate a broker that operates transparently.

Be wary of:

High, unpredictable spreads that widen drastically in normal market conditions
Frequent slippage that always seems to work against you
Requotes and delayed execution that make trading frustrating and unprofitable
The demo account is a great way to see the spread range (difference between the buying and selling price) on assets that interest you.

A serious broker will be upfront about spreads, commissions, and execution speeds. You should also be able to find independent reviews verifying their trading conditions.

Now that we’ve covered the research steps, let’s apply them to Exness and answer the questions traders might be asking: Exness is real or fake? Can Exness be trusted? Is Exness safe?

Regulation and Trustworthiness
Exness is a fully regulated broker, licensed by multiple authorities. Exness publicly displays its license numbers at the bottom of every page on the website, which can be verified directly on the regulators’ websites.

Conclusion: Is Exness trusted or Not?
After applying the universal broker review techniques, it’s clear that Exness is real, trusted, and safe. Let’s break it down and answer the three questions we started with.

Exness is real or fake? → Exness is a real, regulated, and transparent broker.
Can Exness be trusted? → With strict regulatory governance, a strong reputation, and reliable withdrawals, Exness can be trusted.
Exness is safe? → Yes. With segregated funds, Exness client protection, sophisticated security measures, and compliance with major financial authorities around the world, Exness ensures trader protection.

If you’re considering a broker, use the steps in this guide to verify its legitimacy. And if Exness meets your criteria, you can test it yourself by opening a account and experiencing the platform firsthand.

Spread reduction refers to spreads in Pro accounts, sampled over the last full trading week of April 2024 vs. the last full trading week of August 2024.

While Exness employs advanced technology to provide reliable execution, slippage may still occur during periods of high market volatility or low liquidity. Execution times are measured from the moment an order is received until it is processed, excluding internet latency or delays caused by third-party providers. Past execution performance does not guarantee future results.

Exness Team Pro’s Kojo Forex on what it means to be “Born to Trade”


Exploring the first Born to Trade Podcast

The age-old debate on whether professional traders are born with innate abilities or develop their skills over time took center stage in the first episode of The Born to Trade Podcast, featuring renowned trader, Exness Team Pro member, and educator Kojo Forex. Hosted by Nima Siar, Exness Head of Partnerships and Business Development Initiatives, the podcast provided a deep dive into Kojo’s trading journey, his approach to discipline, and his thoughts on what it takes to thrive in the trading world.

A journey forged by experience

Kojo Forex—whose trading career spans over a decade—shared his remarkable path from discovering online trading in 2012 while in university to becoming one of the industry’s most recognizable names. For Kojo, the journey was anything but smooth. “Everything came together properly for me in 2019, and it started really paying off in 2020,” he explained, highlighting the patience and perseverance required to succeed in trading.

Initially drawn to trading to supplement his income, Kojo’s perspective evolved as he immersed himself in the world of financial markets. “I realized I could make a huge career out of it,” he says, recounting how he studied the works of industry legends like George Soros and Stanley Druckenmiller to refine his craft.

What does it take to be a trader?
When asked whether traders are born or made, Kojo offered his nuanced perspective. “I’d say it’s 70 to 80 percent natural instincts and 20 to 30 percent learned skills.”

In his opinion, certain innate traits, such as the ability to remain calm under pressure and being naturally intuitive, can give individuals an edge. He explained that some people are born with the ability to stay composed in the most intense situations, just as others learn over time.

At the same time, Kojo stressed the importance of cultivating discipline, a skill he honed through years of trial and error. In a surprising revelation, he shared how he joined the military to instill the discipline necessary for trading success. “I knew that if I was going to be very successful at this, I needed to have my discipline extremely well in check,” he shares.

Is discipline the core pillar?
Throughout the episode, Kojo emphasized the critical role of discipline in trading. “Discipline forms part of the core foundation of my trading career,” he explains. According to Kojo, discipline manifests in following a trading plan and maintaining proper risk management. “If you take care of risk management, which boils down to discipline, you won’t have to deal with the psychological aspect of trading,” he notes.

Kojo’s advice for aspiring traders is clear: start by focusing on how much you’re willing to lose rather than how much you hope to gain. “I think about how much I’m willing to risk. Once I’m okay with that, I have no issues with psychology.”

The greatest of all-time strategy
Kojo also shone a light on his signature trading approach, which he calls the “GOAT” strategy, short for “Greatest of All Time.” This price-action-based method culminates years of research and real-world experience. “It’s a strategy that withstands all trading conditions and market environments,” he explained.

The GOAT strategy reflects Kojo’s belief in the importance of a trading system that can withstand all market conditions and deliver consistent results over time. “For me, if you don’t have a trading system that can stand the test of time over a considerable period, you can’t establish a career in trading,” he emphasizes.

Advice for aspiring traders
For those new to trading or struggling to gain confidence, Kojo’s advice is both practical and motivational. He urged beginners to clarify their goals early on, “Do you want trading to be a side income or a main career? Where you find yourself determines the effort and approach you need to take.”

Kojo also encourages traders to keep a journal as a way to build discipline and track progress. "If I want to be disciplined, I'm just writing down, 'You have to be disciplined; stay true to yourself.'" he said. "I'm also repeatedly writing it on my social media: stay disciplined, stay disciplined, stay disciplined."

Ultimately, Kojo believes trading is an ongoing journey of self-discovery and improvement. “There’s always something to discover for yourself that makes more meaning to you than just the rest of the world.”

Born or made?
As the debate continues over whether traders are born or made, Kojo’s story serves as a testament to the power of perseverance, self-awareness, and a relentless commitment to growth. For anyone seeking to unlock their potential in the world of trading, his message is clear: “Start the journey, stay disciplined, and trust the process.”

What is Exness and what does Exness do?

“What does Exness do?” It’s a common question I hear. First, here’s the official version. Exness is a globally recognized broker that facilitates investment transactions for traders of all economic backgrounds. By providing access to the financial markets, Exness enables traders to capitalize on price movements without the need for large capital deposits. Established with a commitment to transparency and innovation, Exness has become one of the world's most trusted multi-asset brokers.

That’s the official version, but let’s get more personal and really explain what Exness does and how it stands out in the industry.

Exness: What do they do?
If you’re new to trading, you might wonder what brokers actually do and how Exness makes money. Let’s explore Exness, what they do, and how they do it. In simple terms, brokers like Exness act as a bridge between traders and the global financial markets. To trade directly, investors typically need a significant capital investment to open a trading account—sometimes upwards of $25,000. Not everyone has that kind of money, which is where Exness makes a difference.

Exness offers fractional trading through Contracts for Difference (CFDs), which allow traders to speculate on market movements without owning the underlying asset. For example, if you want to trade Bitcoin but don’t have $100,000 to invest in a full position, you can open a CFD contract with Exness instead. The goal of an Exness trader is to buy contracts when the price is low and sell the CFD back to Exness when the value has increased–based on market price actions. This method makes trading accessible to a wider audience while keeping capital requirements low.

Exness advantages: Better spreads means better trading potential

Online trading is more than just an exciting pastime that opens the door to new financial potential. People new to trading usually begin to explore big business and the global economy within their first month, and even reevaluate their own personal practices and relationship with money.

Being a trader is an eye-opener, and it’s not unusual to see traders expand their life goals after trading for a while.

If you’re thinking about getting a trading account or upgrading to better trading conditions, then Exness is for you. Here’s why.

Unmatched spreads to maximize your potential
Every trader's goal is to buy low and sell high, and the difference between the available prices (spreads) directly affects a trader's profitability margin. Exness offers some of the most competitive spreads in the industry—especially on gold and oil. Tight spreads means less overall trading costs, which means greater gains and reduced losses. Make the most of Exness spreads and maximize your trading potential.

Exness zero commission account: A huge advantage
Imagine trading without worrying about hefty commission fees eating into your returns. Exness offers zero-commission accounts, giving you a head start with every trade. Experienced traders appreciate it; new traders need it, so why not trade without commissions.

Getting started has never been easier—or cheaper. With Exness, you can deposit funds with no extra charges. No fees mean you start trading with 100% of your capital. Moreover, Exness doesn’t chart commissions of fees on withdrawals, so if your preferred payment method is compatible, you get 100% of your withdrawals every time. And since Exness withdrawals are processed without delay, you get access to your money without bureaucratic complications.

A Platform built for all traders
Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting, Exness has everything you need. Advanced tools, 24/7 support, and a platform that’s as intuitive as it is powerful. The Exness Web-based terminal means you can check the markets and your trades on any device without the need for download or install. The platform is loved by many for its simplistic design with advanced features discretely available for those with more experience.

Don’t get overwhelmed by confusing trading platforms. Once you’ve registered, you can explore the platform and the markets risk free using virtual funds before you start targeting real returns.

Every day, traders are leaving outdated platforms behind and switching to Exness. Why? Because they recognize the unparalleled benefits Exness offers. If you’re serious about making trading and investing a long-term activity, test Exness first and save yourself the pain of changing broker later.

Lightning-fast execution: Don’t miss the perfect moment

Opening a trade at a price you like and then reliably taking profit without complication is a reality. Not long ago, people would have to call their broker and tell them to “sell!” The broker would then start the process. With Exness, we know that every millisecond matters. Exness ensures your trades are executed at lightning speed with the touch of a button. Join the hundreds of thousands of traders worldwide who already enjoy Exness for speed and reliability, even during volatile times.

Will Bitcoin Crash?

Many traders are wondering if Bitcoin will crash soon. Let’s answer this main question in the first sentence. Yes, bitcoin will likely crash, and by how much might surprise you. Here’s a comprehensive guide to understanding Bitcoin price actions and the mechanisms in play.

ETF inception inflated Bitcoin prices
When Bitcoin ETFs first entered the financial scene, they unlocked a doorway to regulated access for institutional investors. This wasn't merely an expansion of the market—it was a catalyst for an explosive rise in Bitcoin's price, propelling it to the staggering $100K mark we see today. But this boost in BTC volume was a power play, not a natural increase, which opened the door to market manipulation.

Here's the Bitcoin ETF mechanism at play: as institutional investors poured capital into Bitcoin ETFs, the firms managing these ETFs were compelled to acquire substantial amounts of Bitcoin to back the newly issued shares.

Take, for example, Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), which now holds a commanding lead with assets under management worth about $22.7 billion. This single ETF's demand for Bitcoin significantly influenced the market price. Close on its heels is the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) managed by BlackRock, with $6.6 billion in assets. And not to be overlooked, Fidelity's Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC), which controls around $4.7 billion.

These figures are a testament to the massive institutional muscle that now flows through Bitcoin, much of it indirectly from ordinary stock market investors whose portfolios include these ETFs.

The truth about market dynamics that financial media never mentions

This article is not about indicators or fundamental strategies. Instead, I hope to open your eyes to the real and powerful influences behind the global markets, what triggers trends, and what role the mainstream financial news channels really play. Let’s explore the big picture together to give you a wider view of how the markets will shift this year and beyond.
How the markets used to reactNot so long ago, stocks were influenced by company performance, revenue, and innovation. When a new product hit the market and started trending, big investors would jump on the money train and ride the rise. Likewise, when a product failed, investors would jump ship.
Indices and currencies would often respond to economic reports. If a nation’s GDP was trending high and jobless claims were falling, the nation’s currency would be perceived as a strong investment. That’s the Wikipedia version, but reality is far from that.
While those mechanisms still play a role in the financial world, there are less obvious influences pushing and pulling the markets in different directions, and when you recognize them, those indecisive moments you occasionally have while forecasting will start to make more sense.
So what is this untold dynamic that can change your analysis habits?

Speculating on gold and crude oil

As we approach the end of the year, traders are closely monitoring two critical assets: gold (XAUUSD) and crude oil (USOIL). Both commodities are experiencing unique pressures and opportunities that warrant a deeper analysis.

Gold: Navigating uncertainty
Currently, gold is trading around $2,658 (USD) per ounce, maintaining a stable range as market participants await the Federal Reserve's upcoming decision on interest rates. This period of uncertainty has led to a consolidation phase for gold, with key support levels identified around **$2,600**. If prices dip to this level, it could present an attractive buying opportunity for traders looking to capitalize on gold's safe-haven appeal.

The sentiment surrounding gold is heavily influenced by geopolitical tensions and economic indicators. The potential for a rate cut from the Federal Reserve could bolster demand for gold, as lower interest rates typically diminish the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like bullion. However, if the Fed opts for a more hawkish stance, it may cap any upward movement in gold prices.

Traders should consider adopting a strategy that involves buying on dips, particularly near the support level of $2,600. Implementing stop-loss orders below these levels is crucial to manage risk effectively, especially in this volatile market environment.

Trader psychology and the benefits of emotional intelligence

Developing self-awareness and the ability to identify and overcome personal biases should be at (or near) the top of your educational to-do list as a trader. Those born to trade share one powerful personal trait: they can look at their behaviors and practices with a critical eye. Emotions like fear, greed, and overconfidence can lead even the most experienced traders astray.

Meanwhile, cognitive biases hardwired into the human brain can cause us to make irrational decisions that sabotage our trading strategies. To truly excel in trader psychology, you must become a student of your own mind.

Exness Team Pro member, Nicolas Palacios: Charting his own course in the markets

Nicolas Palacios, a prominent figure in the Latin American trading scene and an Exness Team Pro member, has carved a unique path into the financial markets. Starting with a fascination for blockchain and a desire for financial freedom, Nicolas transformed his passion for trading into a career as a professional trader and financial markets influencer. In this interview, he shares his insights, strategies, and commitment to empowering others in the trading world.

You began trading at a young age. What initially sparked your interest in the financial markets, and how did you develop your skills so quickly?
My journey began with a fascination for blockchain technology and the potential offered by financial markets. I was captivated by the idea of achieving financial independence, even though I knew it was risky. Trading seemed like a great opportunity, even as a side hustle, so I immersed myself in learning everything I could about it. I attended seminars, devoured books, participated in workshops—you name it, I did it!

While I’ve had positive results in the beginning, the real key to my development and consistent trading was mastering risk management. For me, that’s the foundation upon which a career in the markets is built. I believe that to be a trader is a matter of discovering that potential and honing the necessary skills.

Are there any financial assets you favor?
Bitcoin and Ethereum have always held a special place in my portfolio. My journey actually began with a YouTube channel dedicated to blockchain technology. I was eager to share my knowledge and enthusiasm about its potential to revolutionize the world. Having a deep understanding of these cryptocurrencies gives me an edge when trading them, though it's crucial to remember that they are high-risk assets.

Tesla is another favorite. I've been an avid follower of the company for years, and believe in their long-term vision.

Your analysis is well respected. Do you regard yourself as part of "team technical" or "team fundamental?"
My trading methodology relies on a combination of fundamental and technical analysis. I use fundamentals to understand the mid- to long-term trends and overall market sentiment. This provides a solid foundation for my trading decisions. I then utilize technical analysis to pinpoint optimal entry and exit points, refining my strategy based on chart patterns and indicators.

I believe it's important to weigh in as many parameters as possible when trading for two key reasons: Firstly, the markets are incredibly interconnected; when one is impacted positively, another might be affected negatively. Look at gold and stocks, for example. Secondly, it is crucial to consider all aspects in order to make a decision that is as calculated as possible. This includes considering economic data, geopolitical events, and even social media sentiment alongside traditional fundamental and technical analysis. By incorporating a holistic view of the market, I can make more informed decisions and increase my chances of positive results.

You have a strong following on social media. In your opinion, what are the unique challenges and opportunities facing traders, and how do you address these in your content?
The trading community is experiencing rapid growth, which presents exciting opportunities and unique challenges. One of the biggest challenges is the need for greater financial literacy and education. Many aspiring traders lack access to reliable information and resources.

That's where I see my role as an educator and mentor. Through my content, I strive to bridge this knowledge gap and empower traders to make informed decisions. I focus on providing clear, concise explanations of trading concepts, risk management strategies, and ethical practices. It's incredibly rewarding to see how my content has helped traders in the region develop their skills and navigate the markets more confidently.

As a crypto enthusiast, do you believe there is a crypto summer on the horizon? What advice would you give to traders who want to navigate such a volatile market?
I'm passionate about cryptocurrencies but approach them with a balanced perspective. They offer the potential for high rewards but also come with significant risks. While I believe a crypto summer could be on the horizon, it's essential to trade these assets responsibly and manage risk effectively. I advise approaching crypto trading with a clear strategy, a disciplined mindset, and a focus on capital preservation.

You are a popular content creator and surely had several offers. Why did you choose to become an Exness Team Pro member? What is it about ETP that resonates with you?
Exness stands out for several reasons. Beyond its impressive size and global reach, Exness prioritizes ethics, technology, and client satisfaction—values that resonate deeply with my own. In the often turbulent world of trading, integrity and transparency are paramount.
Exness has built a solid reputation for upholding these principles, which is incredibly important to me. They're not just focused on profits; they genuinely care about creating a positive and supportive trading environment for their clients.

Being a member of Exness Team Pro is an honor. It allows me to align myself with a brand that I believe in and to contribute to a joint mission of empowering traders worldwide. It also provides me with a fantastic platform to expand my reach as an educator and mentor, sharing my knowledge and passion for trading with a larger audience.

In your opinion, what sets Exness apart from the competition, and what is the key to its success?
Exness has a unique approach, combining cutting-edge technology with a strong ethical foundation. Its frictionless trading experience, favorable trading conditions, seamless withdrawals, and customer-centric approach resonates not only with me but also with other seasoned traders.

Exness strikes a balance between providing powerful tools and maintaining a simple, intuitive interface. This, combined with their dedication to ethical practices and client support, is undoubtedly a contributing factor to its success and my trust in it.

You seem deeply committed to mentoring those who pursue trading. What inspires your passion, and what role do you see yourself playing in the development of trading in your region?
My passion for mentoring is fueled by my belief that financial literacy should be accessible to everyone. Trading has the potential to transform lives, and I'm driven to share my knowledge and experience to help others achieve their financial goals.

I've witnessed how trading can empower individuals, allowing them to create their own path and achieve a level of independence they may not have thought possible. It's incredibly fulfilling to guide aspiring traders, witness their progress, and celebrate their journey. By providing education, mentorship, and support, I hope to contribute to a more financially literate and empowered community of traders.

What piece of advice would you give someone starting their trading journey?
Master money and risk management. That's the key to a long-term trading journey. Focus on preserving your capital and making informed decisions.
