Licensing and account protection

International entities

Exness (SC) Ltd — Seychelles FSA licence SD025; Exness B.V. — CBCS licence 0003LSI; Exness (VG) Ltd — BVI FSC licence SIBA/L/20/1133; Forexite Ltd — Belize FSC licence 9110312.

Regional licences

Exness ZA (Pty) Ltd is authorised by South Africa's FSCA as FSP 51024. Exness (KE) Limited is licensed by Kenya's CMA (licence 162). The CySEC and FCA entities do not serve retail clients.

Client-fund segregation

Exness states that client funds are held in segregated accounts, kept separate from the company's own operating funds.

Negative balance protection

Negative balances caused by a stop-out are automatically reset to zero, so under this feature clients do not owe more than their trading-account balance.

Stop Out Protection

A proprietary feature designed to delay, and sometimes avoid, stop-outs. It is not supported in Kenya or Jordan and may not be available to every client or account at all times.

Automated trading

Expert Advisors run on the MT4 and MT5 desktop terminals, with 0% hedged margin on all five account types. Exness Terminal and Exness Trade platform accounts do not support EAs.

Specifications relevant to automated trading

The broker conditions directly affect how XAUBOT trading bots perform.

Account types

Standard Cent (cent lots for testing and small exposure), Standard, Pro, Raw Spread, and Zero.

Spreads

From 0.3 pips on Standard Cent, 0.2 on Standard, 0.1 on Pro, and 0.0 pips on Raw Spread and Zero.

Commission

Standard Cent, Standard and Pro: no trading commission. Raw Spread: up to $3.50 per lot per side. Zero: from $0.05 per lot per side, depending on the instrument.

Execution model

Market execution on Standard Cent, Standard, Raw Spread and Zero. Pro uses instant execution for many instruments, where requotes can occur. Exness states explicitly that it does not provide ECN accounts.

Maximum leverage

Headline 1:Unlimited on eligible accounts. Otherwise tiered by equity: 1:2000 up to $29,999.99, 1:1000 from $30,000, and 1:500 from $100,000. Kenya is capped at 1:400. Instrument and HMR rules can reduce this further.

Margin call & stop out

Margin call at 60% on Standard Cent and Standard, 30% on professional accounts. Default stop out is 0%, meaning positions stay open until equity is almost fully used. Kenya and Jordan use 20%; stocks can use 100% during daily break hours.

Minimum deposit

Standard and Standard Cent have no fixed account-level minimum; the actual requirement depends on region and payment method. Pro, Raw Spread and Zero start from $200, depending on region.

Supported platforms

MetaTrader 4 , MetaTrader 5 , Exness Terminal, and Exness Trade. XAUBOT runs on MT4 and MT5 desktop terminals only.

Hedged margin

0% hedged margin is published for all five account types, so fully hedged positions do not consume additional margin — relevant for multi-position strategies.

Symbol suffixes

Each account uses its own symbol names: Standard Cent adds c, Standard adds m, Pro generally has no suffix, Raw Spread has none or r, Zero has none or z. The bot must be attached to the exact symbol your account shows.

Free VPS

A free VPS is available to qualifying clients. Check the current eligibility criteria in your Exness Personal Area.

Standard Cent

SMALL ACCOUNT

Uses cent lots and cent-denominated balances. Exness describes it as useful for beginners or for testing strategies with less risk.

Standard

General-purpose

Commission-free market-execution account with spreads from 0.2 pips and the broadest instrument coverage in the core account lineup.

Pro

Low spread

Commission-free with spreads from 0.1 pips. Uses instant execution for many instruments and market execution in defined cases.

Raw Spread

Algo & scalping

Raw pricing from 0.0 pips with a fixed commission of up to $3.50 per lot per side. Market execution and no limit on the number of open positions are stated.

Zero

Zero spread

How XAUBOT works with an Exness account

XAUBOT bots integrate directly with MetaTrader, which connects to your broker’s servers. Your account’s execution quality, stop-out level and margin flexibility can directly affect how the bot’s risk logic performs.

Integrated news filter

XAUBOT includes a built-in economic calendar filter that pauses new trade execution ahead of high-impact news releases, reducing exposure to unpredictable spikes and to periods when HMR rules can reduce available leverage.

Universal MetaTrader adaptability

The same software adjusts its order logic to match any MetaTrader account environment, from cent lots on Standard Cent to larger volumes on Raw Spread or Zero — as long as it is attached to the account's exact suffixed symbol, such as XAUUSDm or XAUUSDc.

Configurable risk controls

Position sizing, stop-loss, take-profit, and drawdown limits are set when you download or build the bot. With a 0% stop out and leverage up to unlimited, these limits — not the broker — are what cap your exposure.

Hedging support required

Most XAUBOT strategies expect a hedging account. All five Exness account types publish 0% hedged margin — just make sure you run the bot in the MT4 or MT5 desktop terminal, not Exness Terminal or Exness Trade.

XAUBOT strategies and account matching

Different strategies place different demands on spread, execution speed, and margin.

Multi-Level strategies

M15

Open several positions at planned price levels, which increases simultaneous exposure and requires available free margin. A 0% stop out lets a losing sequence run much deeper before the broker intervenes, so the bot's own drawdown limit matters most here.

Account fit: Standard Cent to test, then Standard or Pro with sufficient balance.

Scalp strategies

Short-duration trades that are highly sensitive to spread, commission, and execution latency. Total round-trip cost matters more than the headline spread figure, and requotes under instant execution can disrupt entries.

Account fit: Raw Spread or Zero, raw pricing with market execution.

Custom-built bots

Any

Bots you configure yourself in the XAUBOT dashboard, choosing market, entry logic, risk level, and filters. Account requirements depend entirely on the settings you choose.

Account fit: Start on Standard Cent, scale once the configuration is proven.

Running trading bot on an Exness account

Open a broker account

Register directly with the Exness broker, choose MT4 or MT5, and select the account type that fits your strategy. An account set up for Exness Terminal or Exness Trade will not run a MetaTrader bot.

Save your login details

Record the MetaTrader account number, trading password, and exact server name. The account number is the numeric login shown in the terminal not your client portal username.

Create your XAUBOT account

Sign up, choose a plan or start the free trial, then either download a ready-made bot based on its verified results or build and generate your own custom bot. Finally, download the .ex4 file for MT4 or the .ex5 file for MT5.

Link your license to the account number

In XAUBOT Subscriptions, open Connect Account Numbers and enter the numeric MetaTrader login. A license linked to one account will not validate on another.

Install the bot on MetaTrader

Place the file in MQL4/Experts or MQL5/Experts, refresh Navigator, enable automated trading, and add https://xaubot.com to the allowed WebRequest URLs.

Attach, verify, and monitor

Open the exact broker symbol including its suffix (for example XAUUSDm on Standard) and the required timeframe, attach the bot, enter your license key, and enable Auto/Algo Trading. Confirm the panel shows Live and the Experts/Journal tabs show no errors.

Build a bot, test it on demo, decide for yourself

Free for 15 days with no credit card. Works on any MT4 or MT5 demo account, so you can verify the setup before committing real capital.

Common questions

Yes. XAUBOT exports standard MetaTrader Expert Advisors, so it runs on any broker offering MT4 or MT5 with the symbols you want to trade including Exness. It must run in the MT4 or MT5 desktop terminal; Exness Terminal and Exness Trade do not support Expert Advisors.

It depends on your strategy and capital. Standard Cent suits testing with small nominal exposure; Standard is a general-purpose, commission-free starting point; Pro offers lower spreads but uses instant execution where requotes can occur; Raw Spread and Zero suit cost-sensitive and scalping strategies. Compare total cost (spread plus commission), not just the headline spread. This information is for guidance only; the final decision is yours.

If you are using the Multi-Level strategy, higher leverage can give the bot more available margin to manage multiple open positions. This can help the strategy keep trades open longer and close groups of positions together when the overall basket reaches profit. Higher leverage does not guarantee better results and should still be combined with proper risk management.

The broker does not force-close positions until equity is almost fully used, so a losing trade sequence can run much further than at a broker with a 50% stop out. Negative balance protection resets any negative balance from a stop-out to zero, but the account can still be emptied. Set a drawdown limit in your XAUBOT configuration. Note that Kenya and Jordan use a 20% stop out.

Exness symbol names change with the account type: Standard Cent adds c, Standard adds m, Pro generally has no suffix, Raw Spread has none or r, and Zero has none or z. Open the exact symbol shown in your Market Watch, for example XAUUSDm on a Standard account, and attach the bot to that chart.

A broker-provided VPS can generally run MetaTrader and an Expert Advisor, and Exness offers a free VPS to qualifying clients. Confirm the current criteria, check the VPS specification meets your bot's requirements, and make sure you can access it to check the terminal. Otherwise, any standard Windows VPS works.

Not everywhere. Exness states it does not offer services in several jurisdictions, including the USA, Canada, Europe, the United Kingdom, Iran, North Korea, Russia and Belarus. Its CySEC and FCA entities do not serve retail clients. Where it is available, the entity shown in your Personal Area determines your leverage, stop-out level and protections.

No. This page provides publicly available information about the broker's trading conditions so you can judge compatibility with automated trading. Choosing a broker is your own decision and should account for regulation in your jurisdiction.
