Getting Started with Exness Web Terminal in South Africa

Account Registration Process

To begin trading, South African clients must register via the official Exness website. The process starts by submitting an email address, creating a password, and selecting South Africa as residence. Verification requires uploading a valid South African ID book or smart ID card and a recent utility bill or bank statement as proof of address.

The verification stage typically completes within 24 to 48 hours. Clients receive email updates throughout this process. Once verified, traders gain access to both demo and live accounts instantly, enabling immediate Web terminal usage.

Accessing the Web Terminal

After logging into the Exness client area, navigate to the trading platforms section and select “Web Terminal.” The platform launches in a new tab without any downloads. We detect your time zone automatically, setting South African Standard Time (SAST) for accurate session timing.

The Web terminal opens with popular ZAR currency pairs readily available. Your preferences for layout and instrument lists are saved for subsequent sessions, ensuring a personalized experience.

Web Terminal Interface Navigation

Market Watch Panel

The Market Watch panel displays live quotations for all available instruments, including forex, indices, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. South African traders benefit from highlighted USD/ZAR pairs. The panel shows bid/ask prices, spread data, daily price variations, and trading volumes.

Right-click options allow adding instruments to favorites or opening charts instantly. Instruments are grouped by type for simple navigation. Price updates occur every millisecond during market hours, ensuring accurate decision-making.

Chart Analysis Tools

Our platform integrates sophisticated charting tools supporting over 30 technical indicators like RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, and moving averages. Chart timeframes range from one minute to monthly intervals. Drawing tools include trend lines, Fibonacci retracements, and geometric shapes.

Chart annotations and templates save automatically, allowing South African traders to switch seamlessly between analysis styles and setups.

Order Placement and Management

Market Order Execution

Market orders can be placed instantly via the Market Watch panel buy/sell buttons or by right-clicking the chart for the new order menu. Execution speed averages 0.1 seconds for major forex pairs like USD/ZAR.

The order window displays entry price, available leverage, and margin requirements. Position sizes can be specified in lots or ZAR amounts. Once confirmed, the system executes the trade and reflects the position in the terminal window, showing profit/loss in both price points and ZAR.

Pending Orders Setup

Pending orders include buy limit, sell limit, buy stop, and sell stop types. These are set via the new order form by selecting “pending order” and entering the desired entry price and expiry. The system monitors price levels and triggers orders automatically when conditions match.

Notifications alert South African clients upon execution. Traders can edit or cancel pending orders anytime before activation.

Risk Management Features

We implement robust risk controls within the Web terminal. Traders can set stop loss and take profit levels during order placement or adjust them later. Our system automatically enforces margin requirements and maximum loss thresholds.

Negative balance protection guarantees that South African clients do not lose more than their account balance. Margin level warnings appear in real-time to prevent margin calls. A position size calculator assists in determining appropriate lot sizes based on risk parameters and account equity.

Leverage levels range from 1:1 up to 1:2000, with retail South African clients receiving leverage caps in line with FSCA regulations. Leverage and margin metrics display clearly for every instrument.

Popular tools like RSI, MACD, and moving averages are widely used by South African traders to analyze momentum, trends, and trade signals. Users can save indicator combinations as templates for quick reuse.

Drawing Tools and Analysis

Comprehensive drawing tools include trend lines, horizontal and vertical lines, rectangles, ellipses, and Fibonacci retracements/extensions. These tools snap precisely to price and time points for accurate analysis.

Fibonacci tools help identify key support and resistance levels and forecast price targets. Traders can save analysis templates and apply them across multiple charts and timeframes.
