About Exness — Terms With a Definition, Labels Without One · Bangladesh

A broker description is built from two kinds of words. A term such as CFD, spread, lot, leverage or commission carries a fixed definition and a consequence you can see on your own order ticket. A label carries neither, so there is nothing in it to check.

A description of Exness, like any broker description, mixes two kinds of words. Terms — CFD, spread, lot, leverage, commission — each carry a fixed definition and a consequence that shows up on the order ticket. Labels carry no definition, so there is nothing in them to compare and nothing to read anywhere. The useful move is to take each label, name the quantity it was standing in for, and read that quantity where it actually lives. Exness has been operating since 2008, and the description below is written term by term rather than label by label.

Five words that carry a consequence

Term, definition, and the thing it changes

WordDefinition it carriesWhat changes because of itWhere the value is read
CFDA contract on the price difference, with no delivery of the instrument itselfPositions are closed at a price and carry a cost past the rolloverThe instrument specification inside the platform
SpreadThe distance between the buy and sell quote at one momentThe distance a position has to cover before it is levelThe two quotes on the ticket, before the order is confirmed
LotThe contract size behind one unit of volumeHow much money one unit of movement is worthThe contract size field in the instrument specification
LeverageThe ratio between position size and required marginHow much margin a single position ties upThe margin figure shown on the ticket before placing the order
CommissionA charge quoted per lot or per side, apart from the spreadTotal cost, which is spread and commission togetherThe cost structure of the account and the trade history

Why a label passes unnoticed

A label survives the read because it sits in the grammatical position of a fact. Delete it and the sentence still stands, which is exactly the test: if removing a word changes no number and no action, that word was decoration.

Terms fail that test in a useful way. Remove the word lot from a sentence about position sizing and the sentence stops meaning anything, because the contract size is the thing that turns a move in price into an amount of money. That dependence is what makes a term a term.

This is why two descriptions can read very differently and describe the same account identically. The terms carry the description; everything around them is texture.

Turning a label back into a value

Every label was standing in for a quantity. Name the quantity first — a cost, a size, a delay, a limit — and the term for it usually names itself. A phrase about flexible sizing is standing in for the smallest volume an instrument accepts, which is a number printed in the instrument specification.

The second half of the move is knowing where the value is read. Some values belong to the instrument and are the same from any account: contract size, minimum volume, tick, quote precision. Others belong to the account and change with it: how the cost of a round turn is charged, and how small a position it will take. Reading the wrong place is the most common way a checked fact turns out to be the wrong fact.

Three words that are often collapsed into one

Balance, equity and free margin are three separate terms that a single label — the money in the account — happily replaces. Balance is what closed trades have left behind. Equity is that figure with open positions marked at their current price. Free margin is equity minus the margin already tied up by those positions.

The three move independently, and only one of them decides whether a further position can be opened at all. A description that uses the label instead of the term is not wrong; it is simply not saying which of the three it means, and the reader cannot recover the difference from the wording.

Checking one word before relying on it

  1. Write the sentence out and mark every word that could be deleted without changing a number or an action.
  2. For each marked word, name the quantity it was standing in for: a cost, a size, a delay or a limit.
  3. Decide whether that quantity belongs to the instrument or to the account — the two are read in different places.
  4. Read the value where it lives, and write down the moment of the reading next to it.
  5. If a marked word cannot be traced to any quantity, leave it out of the comparison entirely rather than arguing with it.

Any figure quoted in a description, including on this page, is indicative and moves with the market; a reading describes the moment it was taken.

Label, the quantity behind it, and the term to look up

Frequently asked questions

What makes a word a term rather than a label?
A term has a definition that does not change with the sentence, and a consequence that shows up somewhere you can look: an order ticket, an instrument specification, a trade history. A label has neither, so removing it from the sentence costs nothing.
Is founded in 2008 a term or a label?
Neither — it is a dated fact. Exness has been operating since 2008, which can be checked against a date, but it describes the history of the company rather than the behaviour of an account today.
How do you turn a label into something checkable?
Name the quantity the label was standing in for, decide whether that quantity belongs to the instrument or to the account, then read it in the specification or in the account's cost structure. If no quantity can be named, the label was decoration.
Does the word CFD change what a trader owns?
Yes. A CFD is a contract on the price difference, so the instrument itself is not delivered. The position is opened and closed at a price, and holding it past the daily rollover carries its own cost.
Why do spread and commission only mean something together?
They are two parts of one cost. A spread quoted without the commission alongside it, or a commission quoted without the spread, describes half of what a round turn removes from the account.
What is the difference between balance, equity and free margin?
Balance is what closed trades have left behind. Equity is the balance with open positions marked at their current price. Free margin is equity minus the margin those open positions already tie up — and it is the one that decides whether another position can be opened.
