CFDs are complex products. Trading is risky and may not be suitable for everyone. Excess volatility increases risk further. Be cautious. Past performance is not an indication of future results.

GETTING STARTED

How to Register with Exness

Registering is short and simple. This page walks through it step by step — and shows why starting with a free demo is the calm way to begin.

To register with Exness, you create a login with your email address and a password. That alone is enough to open a free demo account — no documents are needed for demo. Documents come later, and only if you decide to open a real-money account.

Two things people mix up

Registration means creating your login — email plus password. Verification means proving who you are with documents. They are separate steps. You register once at the start; you verify only when you want to trade real money. For practice, registration is all you need.

The sign-up path, step by step

  1. Create your login

    Enter your email address and choose a strong password. This takes a few minutes and creates your personal Exness account area.

  2. Open a free demo account

    A demo account (a practice account) uses virtual money — pretend money, not yours. It is free, has no time limit, and asks for no documents. More on the demo account page.

  3. Pick a platform

    A platform is the app where you see prices and place trades. Exness Terminal runs in your browser; the Exness Trade app runs on your phone. MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 also exist, but they suit experienced traders.

  4. Practice before paying

    Place small practice trades and learn where every button is. One honest note: demo results don't guarantee real-account results — real trading adds real emotions.

  5. Verify when you are ready — not before

    If you later choose a real account, Exness asks you to confirm your identity. This is a standard check called KYC (Know Your Customer): you upload documents that show who you are. The sign-up screens guide you through it.

What about money?

Registering costs nothing, and the demo costs nothing. If you eventually open a real account, the Standard account has no minimum deposit, and some other account types start from about $10, depending on account type and region. The exact minimum is shown during sign-up, before you send any money. Negative Balance Protection means clients never lose more than they've deposited — in plain words, your loss can never be bigger than what you put in. Before any real trade, read the risk basics.

Quick questions

Do I need documents to register?

No. Registration needs only an email and a password. Documents are requested later, only for a real-money account.

Is Exness a real, regulated company?

Exness is a globally regulated broker, holding multiple licenses from respected financial regulators around the world. It has operated since 2008.

Do I have to trade real money right away?

No. You can stay on demo as long as you like. There is no rush — practice comes before money.
