How to Change Exness Server

Improved Trade Execution Speed

• Faster Order Execution: Choosing a server closer to your geographical location can reduce the time it takes for your orders to be processed. This is particularly important for active traders who rely on quick execution to take advantage of market movements.
• Lower Latency: By connecting to a server that is physically closer to you, the time it takes for your orders to reach the server and for data to come back to you (latency) is reduced. This can be especially beneficial in fast-moving markets.

Enhanced Stability

• Fewer Connection Issues: Sometimes, servers located farther from your location can experience slower response times or more frequent connectivity issues. Switching to a server closer to you can ensure a more stable connection, minimizing the risk of disconnections and lag during trading.
• Avoid Overcrowded Servers: Some Exness servers may experience high traffic at certain times, leading to delays or slower response times. By selecting a less congested server, you can improve the stability and reliability of your connection.

1. A Valid Exness Trading Account
You must have an active Exness trading account, either a real or demo account. If you don’t have one, you’ll need to sign up and create an account through the Exness website or your Exness Personal Area.

2. MetaTrader (MT4/MT5) Platform Installed
To change the server, you’ll need to have either MetaTrader 4 (MT4) or MetaTrader 5 (MT5) installed on your device. These are the platforms Exness uses for trading, and the server change can only be done through these platforms. You can download these platforms from the Exness website if they are not already installed on your device.

3. Your Trading Account Login Details
Ensure that you have your Exness account number and password ready. You will need these credentials to log into your account after selecting a new server. If you forget your login details, you can recover them from your Exness Personal Area.

4. A Stable Internet Connection
Changing your Exness server requires a stable internet connection, as the process involves connecting to a new server. A poor connection could cause issues during the server change process or result in failed login attempts. Ensure that you have a reliable internet connection before proceeding.

5. Exness Server Information
Know which Exness server to connect to. Exness provides different servers depending on your geographical location, trading account type, and specific needs. Check your Personal Area or ask Exness support if you’re unsure which server is the best fit for you.

1. Open MetaTrader (MT4/MT5) Launch MetaTrader 4 (MT4) or MetaTrader 5 (MT5) on your computer or mobile device.
2. Access the Login Window In the platform, click on the “File” menu in the top-left corner. Select “Login to Trade Account” from the dropdown menu.
3. Enter Your Trading Account Details A login window will appear. Here, you will need to enter the following details: Account Number (your Exness trading account number, e.g., 123456) and Password associated with your Exness trading account.
4. Select the Correct Server In the Server dropdown field, you will see a list of available servers. Choose the appropriate Exness server for your region. For example, if you’re based in Nigeria, look for a server that’s geographically closer to you to ensure faster execution and lower latency. If the correct server is not visible, you can try typing the server name manually or check your Exness Personal Area for the recommended server.
5. Login to Your Account Once you have selected the correct server, click “Login”. The platform will attempt to log you into the selected server. You should see a confirmation message once logged in successfully.
6. Verify Your Connection After logging in, check the bottom-right corner of the platform, where the server name is displayed. This confirms the server to which you’re connected. You should now be connected to the new server.

Choosing a server closer to your location ensures quicker order execution, reducing delays. This is particularly important for scalpers and high-frequency traders who rely on milliseconds of execution time.

Latency refers to the time it takes for your trading orders to reach the broker’s server. A closer server minimizes latency, ensuring your trades are executed at the intended price. Reduced slippage helps you avoid unnecessary losses due to price differences between order placement and execution.

Some servers may experience high traffic, leading to slow response times or intermittent disconnections. Switching to a less crowded or more region-specific server improves platform stability and minimizes connection issues.

Some Exness servers may offer better spreads and trading conditions based on account type. Pro traders can switch to a server optimized for lower spreads and faster execution.

Exness provides different servers based on geographical locations and regulations. Connecting to a server designated for your region (e.g., Nigeria) ensures compliance with local trading regulations and optimal market conditions.
