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.

The form, field by field

Where the swap-free option is set on the form (Pakistan)

Opening an account and giving it swap-free status are two different acts on one screen. This page walks the form as somebody who needs the second, and marks the one field that cannot be undone.

Registration is fully online and takes a few minutes: an email address, a password, your residential details, then an identity check with a government-issued document and a proof of address, usually approved within about 24 hours. Swap-free is offered on qualifying account types and can be requested at account opening or set afterwards in the Personal Area.

What each answer is used for

  • Email and password. They create the Personal Area — the portal where accounts are managed and where the swap-free status is later visible. Nothing here is about trading yet.
  • Residential details. They belong to the identity check, not to the status. Requesting swap-free adds no separate document round.
  • Account type. The carrier. It decides the spread, whether a commission per lot applies, and whether the swap-free option is offered at all.
  • Base currency. The one answer with no undo: the creation screen lists the options for each type, and the choice is fixed once made. A payment sent in another currency is converted into it by the payment provider.
  • The swap-free option itself. A setting on the account, not a different product. It removes the overnight swap on eligible instruments and touches nothing else.

The order that avoids redoing things

  1. Decide the account type without thinking about swap

    Spread and commission are the whole of this decision, and the status changes neither. Deciding it on its own terms means the choice still stands if the status is added later.

  2. Read the base currency list before selecting the type

    The options differ by type, and this is the field that cannot be changed afterwards. Settling it before anything is confirmed saves the most trouble for the least effort on this form.

  3. Look for the swap-free option on that type

    If it does not appear, the type is the reason rather than the account. Going back one step is faster than opening a second account later.

  4. Complete the identity check

    A government-issued ID and a proof of address; approval usually lands within about 24 hours. You must be of legal age and a resident of an eligible country.

  5. Confirm the status where it lives

    Open the Personal Area and read the status against the account. This is the only confirmation that counts — an empty swap column in a platform is a display setting.

What the form does not ask, and people expect it to

  • Which instruments you intend to hold. Eligibility for the removal is decided instrument by instrument and is not part of registration.
  • How long you plan to hold positions. The form has no field for it, yet it is the question that decides whether the status changes anything for you.
  • Anything about permissibility. The option is a product setting. Whether trading is permissible remains a personal and scholarly question.

Before the first amount is sent

  • Practice first costs nothing. A demo needs only an email and a password, uses virtual money and has no time limit. Demo results don’t guarantee the same results on a real account.
  • Only money that could be lost entirely. CFDs are complex instruments, trading is risky and may not be suitable for everyone.
  • The floor belongs to the account. If a sudden market move pushes an account below zero, the balance is reset to zero.

Negative Balance Protection stops an account at zero: a loss is limited to the funds placed in it.

Questions asked with the form open

Must swap-free be chosen during registration?

No. It can be set at account opening or afterwards in the Personal Area.

Does requesting the status need extra documents?

The identity check belongs to the account. The status is a setting on top of an account that already exists.

Which field cannot be changed later?

The base currency. It is fixed at creation, and the creation screen lists the options for each account type.

How long does verification take?

Registration takes a few minutes; identity verification is usually approved within about 24 hours.

Can a second account be opened with a different arrangement?

Accounts are treated separately, so check each one’s status in the Personal Area rather than assuming it carried over.

Who can confirm the account really carries the status?

The Personal Area shows it, and Exness support is available 24/7. This handbook can see nothing.
