CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Excess volatility increases risk further. Be cautious. Past performance is not an indication of future results.

For a reader whose goal is the price picture: what each stage asks for, and what it changes.

A demo opens on two fields — an email address and a password — and asks for no documents. That is all that stands between a reader and a price picture. An identity check and a first deposit come later, on the real-money route, and neither changes what a chart can say.

So the sign-up is worth reading by stage: what each asks for, and what it leaves untouched on the screen.

Stage by stage, by what it changes

Stage What it asks for What it changes on the picture
Sign-up An email address and a password Nothing yet — no choice made
Choosing a demo Nothing further Virtual money, no time limit, mistakes costing nothing
Choosing a real account A type — Standard is the usual start The terms, not the reading
The identity check A passport or national ID, usually an address document Who may trade with real money
A first deposit Standard has no minimum; other types a region-based one What being wrong costs from then on

A record to keep while you sign up

  1. Read the address bar before anything else

    The button below opens the Exness sign-up page; the line to read as it loads is the address bar, which should say exness.com. Note it as the only address you return to: typed ones and links in messages lead to lookalike copies.

  2. Note which email the login was made with

    Two fields and the account exists. Record the address used, and keep the password for this login alone: it may hold real money one day.

  3. Write down what the first chart opened on

    A demo is the recommended first choice, and the stage where a picture becomes something to sit in front of. Before reading into it, note two settings: the timeframe, and what each axis carries.

  4. Settle which clock the bottom edge prints

    Time runs along the bottom, but a chart’s clock and the one beside you are not always the same. Settle that before writing an hour next to a price, or the record drifts and still looks tidy.

  5. Add a line after documents and money

    Both come later, and only on the real-money route. Write a line about the picture after each, then compare with the first note: your own record answers which stage touched the chart.

The one level worth marking

A stop-loss closes a trade automatically once the loss reaches a level chosen in advance. On the picture it is a price you can put a finger on, chosen while the trade is still an idea: afterwards the picture argues back. Mark one on demo trades too, where being wrong is free; the level itself is worked through on risk basics.

A deposit minimum is a floor, not advice: shown before money is sent, it says nothing about what to send. Money in and out sits on deposit and withdrawal basics, the types on account types.

The honest limit: a chart records what already happened. Opening an account, verifying or funding it adds nothing to what anyone can say about the next candle: a shape that came before a rise has come before a fall. Naming the parts of a candle is the job of reading a chart. This site is an independent guide, not a broker: it opens no accounts, holds no money, takes no documents.

Questions in front of the screen

What does a demo ask for before a chart is on screen?

An email address and a password — no documents.

Does the identity check alter anything on the chart?

Nothing on it. It decides who may trade with real money: rules against fraud and money laundering require brokers to know their clients. A demo never meets it.

Is a deposit needed to keep looking at prices?

No — a demo runs on virtual money, and Standard carries no minimum anyway.

Is there a deadline for moving to real money?

There is none: a demo has no time limit.

What is worth writing down first?

The address the button opened, the timeframe of the first picture, and which clock its bottom edge prints.

Which stage decides the account type?

The one where a real account is chosen. Standard is the usual start.

Does an account make the next move easier to call?

It does not. An account is access to a record of the past.

Where are the parts of a candle explained?

On the reading a chart page; this one stops at the sign-up.

Why keep a written record of the sign-up at all?

Because it is the only version not written after the trades are known.
