From a phone

Opening an account from a phone · India

A phone is asked for exactly what anything else is asked. The device decides where you are standing while the account is made, and nothing else about it.

Registration takes an email address and a password, and a few minutes. A demo account needs no documents; a real account is asked for an identity check before real money is traded. All of it belongs to the account rather than the handset: signing up creates an account with the broker, and the phone is the way to it.

Exness offers the Exness Trade app on a phone, Exness Terminal in a web browser, and MetaTrader 4 / MetaTrader 5 for more experienced traders. Exness Terminal runs in a web browser — nothing to install, so the account can exist before anything is downloaded.

Five stages, and where each one ends up

Read the right-hand column downwards: the device turns up in none of it.

Stage	What it asks for	Where the result is kept
The registration form	an email address and a password	an account with the broker, not a file on the phone
Demo or real, and the type	a choice; a demo asks for no documents	with the account, from that moment on
The identity check, real accounts only	documents that prove who you are	with Exness, asked once, about the person
The first deposit	an amount, on the screen that asks for one	the account balance
The first stop-loss	a level decided before the trade	the trading server, not your phone

The three stages before documents come up

The button, then the address bar

The button at the end of this page opens the official Exness website, so the address is never typed. Once it loads, read the bar: it should say exness.com. Hand-typed addresses and links inside messages are how people reach fake copies of broker sites.
Email address, password, and the form ends

Choose a strong password used nowhere else: this account may hold real money one day, and it is reached through the platforms above, not only from the device that opened it.
Demo, or real with a type attached

A demo is the recommended first choice: virtual money, mistakes that cost nothing, no time limit, no documents. Pick a real account and a type comes with it, Standard being the usual starting point — see account types. The type belongs to the account, not the device.

Where the document step sits

After the choice of a real account, before real money is traded. Demo accounts skip it, so a phone can practise for weeks without meeting it.

Exness asks for a document that proves who you are, such as a passport or a national ID, and usually one that confirms your address. This is the same kind of check banks do: rules against fraud and money laundering require brokers to confirm who their clients are.

What is examined is a person, not equipment: no device passes or fails it.

Four things the phone does not decide

Whether an open trade closes at your loss level. A stop-loss closes it at a level set in advance, and it lives on the trading server, not on your phone. See risk basics.
How large the first deposit is. The Standard account has no minimum deposit; other types have one, shown during sign-up. A minimum is not a recommendation: send no more than you could lose entirely. See deposits and withdrawals.
Whether documents are wanted. That follows from demo or real, not from where the form was filled in.
Which type is open. Settled once, at sign-up, and it stays a line of the account.

Questions that come up on a small screen

Does signing up from a phone ask for anything a computer would not?

Nothing extra — an email address and a password either way.

Is anything installed before the account exists?

Not necessarily: Exness Terminal runs in a web browser, so the form finishes there.

Where does the account live once the form is sent?

With the broker — the phone is a way in, not where the account is kept.

Does the identity check depend on the device it was started from?

It does not. The check is about the person behind the account, never the device.

If the phone is put down, does a stop-loss still hold?

It holds either way: the stop-loss sits on the trading server, not on your phone.

How long can the demo stage last?

As long as you like — a demo has no time limit.

Does the screen decide the size of the first deposit?

It states the minimum; the amount stays yours to decide.
