EXNESS Announces March Volumes – Substantial Increase over February's Results and More Than Double YoY
Russian forex broker EXNESS completed March with a total volume for the month of 110.5 yards according to Victor Masalov,

Russian forex broker EXNESS completed March with a total volume for the month of 110.5 yards according to Victor Masalov, the company’s Marketing Director. This represents a month in which performance was up considerably from February’s 89 yards, but represents a slight decline from the company’s stellar start to 2013 with 117.5 yards in January.
In addition to its home market, the company has been gaining presence in the Asia Pacific region, with a degree of success in China and Malaysia. With an interest in venturing into new territories, EXNESS shifted its attention to Europe in October last year and obtained the Cypriot CySEC license. A point of interest is that EXNESS has a controversial approach to leverage in the respect that while low-leverage accounts are common within the company’s client base subject to a maximum of 1:400, it is entirely possible to take up a mini account with EXNESS with a leverage ratio of 2000:1 which may explain the huge volume.

Just one year ago, EXNESS posted a volume of 53.8 yards for March 2012, showing that the Year-on-Year figure represents more than double that of the same time last year. During the course of 2012, EXNESS showed a steady trend of increasing volumes, somewhat flying in the face of industry norms which showed stagnation and in some cases, decline.
Speaking on the continual increase of trading volume, Victor Masalov said; “Trading volumes of EXNESS increased again in the first quarter of 2013. This growth was mostly due to the trades of the EXNESS clients from Asia. 2013 represents a milestone for us, as for the first time trading volume by EXNESS clients exceeded the number of $100 billion for a month, which is a great achievement for the company.”

worth noting that average leverage with this company is about 1:600-1:700 so comparing to ‘standard’ firms who use mainly 1:100 or even less the comparable volume is about 15-22b/month

Are you saying that clients positions are leveraged 600x on average, or that this firm offers 600x leverage? If the former, i imagine the avg account lifetime to be rather limited..

U r dead wrong MG. first of all, there is no way to verify their actual volume. Second, either you trade on low leverage or high, firms margin is almost same. Here is an example, 100k trade on 100:1 leverage is $10 a pip and 100k trade with 600:1 is also $10.

i loved being dead wrong 🙂
for some reason you are confusing pips with trading volume. with $100 the position you can take with 1:100 leverage is about 10,000 while with 1:1000 leverage it’s a full lot. their clients make use of extremely high leverage buying huge positions and probably being wiped out before understanding what happened

I can’t tell what’s more concerning, the clients who put on a 2000:1 position intentionally, or the broker who allows them.
At 2000:1 leverage, and a 1 pip spread (let’s assume a USD based account trading EUR/USD,) a fully leveraged trade instantly gobbles up ~20% of the account value and is entirely wiped out if the pair moves just 3-4 pips further against the trader.

It is very controversial I agree. EXNESS have a majority of traders at 1:200 and the maximum for a classic account without minilots is 1:400, however they market this mini account with high leverage to clients with small deposit amounts and their view is that it allows traders to open enough positions to tolerate drawdown. It is by all accounts targeted toward the Asian market. I guess if client demand is there………

I know one thing, Victor looks like a man not to be argued with!

In regards to the comments on leverage:
1) They only allow this leverage during the trading week. They reduce the leverage to 1:200 for all weekend positions.
2) it is clear that with 2000:1 leverage during the week only, that they are encouraging the use of aggression; best served with a properly spaced grid/martingale to ensure you are in and out before the weekend. Probably a lot sooner.
Either that, or all in at 1 price strategies.
ps: no email alerts for new comments. Will this be fixed?
