Introduction of Exness's mid-price stop out work
Exness introduces mid-price stop out
On Exness’s platforms, the stop out (a liquidation of all open positions) is triggered when the margin level reaches zero.
Thanks to the mid-price stop out, Exness’s trading system will consider both a spread and lot volume to rise the difficulty of stop-out in general.
What is Exness’s Mid-Price Stop out?
Exness has updated the trading conditions with the addition of a new feature “Mid-Price Stop out” that can significantly reduce stop-out (forced settlement).
Mid-price stop outs reduce the likelihood of stop-loss in the event of unrealized losses.
The mechanism of mid-price stop-out is referred to as the mid-price stop-out algorithm.
Difference between standard stop-out and mid-price stop-out
Normally, overseas Forex companies (overseas Forex brokers, overseas Forex companies) will make a stop-out in the following cases.
Margin Effective Margin – Unrealized Loss = $ 0 or Less
In Exness, the stop-out level is 0% of the margin maintenance rate. Therefore, even in the above formula, it is displayed as “less than $ 0”.
The Exness mid-price stop out will take into account a half spread discount as shown below.
Margin Effective – Unrealized Loss + Half Spread Discount = $ 0 or Less
Exness’s Mid-price stopout calculation example
In order to explain the mid-price stop out of overseas Forex broker Exness, let’s assume the following transaction situation.
Initial account balance | $ 100 |
---|---|
Unrealized loss of order A | $ 40 |
Order A spread | $ 10 |
Number of lots for order A | 1 lot |
Unrealized loss of order B | $ 60 |
Order B spread | $ 10 |
Number of lots for order B | 1.5 lots |
Current account balance | $ 0 |
In the above trading situation, the initial account balance is $ 100-Unrealized loss of Order A is $ 4,000-Unrealized loss of Order B is $ 6,000 = $ 0. Before the introduction of the mid-price stop-out, the loss was cut.
Benefits and effects of mid-price stop-out
In the mid-price stop-out, which is a new loss cut rule of Forex broker Exness, the calculation formula for executing loss cut is as follows.
Initial Account Balance $ 100-Unrealized Loss on Order A $ 40 + Discount on Order A Spread $ 5-Unrealized Loss on Order B $ 60 + Discount on Order B Spread $ 7.5 = $ 12.5
Half the spread discount (spread and trading volume) is taken into account and not stop-out.
This can be expected to reduce overall stop-outs.
Exness’s new mid-price stop-out algorithm further enhances protection against market volatility and widening spreads by deciding orders based on mid-price rather than buy / sell.
