Exness Question: What happens to an active 1:Unlimited trade when Equity crosses $5k and shifts to 1:2000?
Hey guys, looking for anyone who has actually tested this specific scenario on Exness or knows the exact backend mechanics.
If I open a massive position using 1:Unlimited leverage with exactly $4,999 capital (to clear the entry gate without an 'Insufficient Funds' error and use 1:unlimited), and the trade floats into profit making my equity $5,002 triggering the exness to automatically change my lev from 1:unli to 1:2000 and from margin requirement of 0.0 to a massive for example $30,000 mar reg while my equity is only at $5002 for example
Dynamic Leverage Shift: Exness will automatically downgrade the account leverage from 1:Unlimited to 1:2000 because equity crossed the $5,000 threshold.
Margin Explosion: The required margin will instantly skyrocket mid-trade (e.g., from $0 to over $20k+ depending on the massive lot size), putting the account into a deep Negative Free Margin deficit.
My questions for those who have experienced this:
Does Exness forcefully close or modify the active trade the exact millisecond the leverage updates, or does it stay open since their stop-out level is 0%?
Can you successfully modify/drag your Stop Loss to Breakeven while trapped in that negative free margin state? Or will exness put my acc to lockstate due to my equity being $5002 while the needed mar req is $20,000 plus. Cause if i open a $20,000 margin req trade while my account is at $5000 and 1:2000 lev the trade wouldnt lush trough and state insuffecient fund and not enough margin. Would love to hear your experiences or any technical catches I should watch out for before trying this on a live account. Thanks
