Trading-account decisions
| Setting | Decision consequence |
|---|---|
| Type | Standard, Standard Cent, Pro, Raw Spread or Zero pricing/execution |
| Real or demo | Real funds versus virtual practice |
| Currency | Cannot be changed after creation |
| Platform | MT4, MT5 or Exness platform cannot be converted later |
| Leverage | Changes required margin, not position exposure |
| Pro execution | Instant/market choice depends on account currency and availability |
Recommended first route

Questions from a first-time learner
Is the Personal Area the same as a trading account?
No. The PA manages identity, security and multiple trading accounts.
Can I change account currency or MT4/MT5 later?
No. Create another trading account with the required settings.
Which account should a beginner create first?
A realistic demo account is the safer first step; Standard demo offers a straightforward starting structure.
Does opening an account prove local authorisation in Pakistan?
No. Verify the entity, current SECP/SBP guidance and any payment/remittance restrictions separately.
