Engineering execution: How Exness built a trading infrastructure for high-pressure markets

Why does execution matter so much?

Execution is the bridge between strategy and outcome. When the market is calm, most brokers can execute orders at the traders’ requested price. But during high-impact events, such as central bank announcements, unexpected inflation data, and geopolitical headlines, execution quality is truly tested. This is where Exness stands out.

While other brokers experience widening spreads and delayed order processing, Exness has engineered its systems to deliver consistent execution speed and precision, regardless of volatility.

Designed for pressure

Markets are dynamic. Spikes in volume and volatility are part of the landscape. Exness anticipated this long before reaching scale. Its infrastructure was designed to perform during peak demand, not just react to it.

At the core of this approach is a proprietary execution model that helps streamline processing during congested conditions. As a result, Exness offers the most precise execution in the market.*

Spread stability powered by pricing logic

Execution speed is only part of the picture. Pricing quality matters just as much. Exness acts as its own liquidity provider and has developed its own pricing engine, one that aggregates real-time data and filters out pricing noise during news events. Instead of passing on volatility from upstream providers, Exness smooths pricing to provide more stable trading conditions.

In 2024, Exness reduced spreads** on key assets like XAUUSD by 20%, USOIL by 68%, and major indices like S&P 500 by 67%. This reduction was the result of continued investment in pricing infrastructure.

Instant access to funds

Speed isn’t limited to trade execution. More than 98% of all withdrawal requests at Exness are processed in under 1 minute***. This near-instant model provides peace of mind because Exness knows that everyone needs fast access to their own funds.

More control when it matters most

Another feature traders benefit from is 0% stop out level. This allows their trade to stay open for longer, giving time for the market to recover and potentially move in their favour. Exness traders experience up to three times fewer stop outs compared to standard industry conditions, giving them greater control over when they close a position.

Redefining the industry standard

Execution is no longer a backend technical concern, it’s a key differentiator in how brokers are perceived and trusted. As traders become more sophisticated, they demand more than fast execution in the markets. They want consistent performance, even when the markets are highly volatile.

That’s where Exness stands out. From tight spreads and fast execution, to near-instant withdrawals and built-in risk protection, Exness continues to refine the trading experience where it matters most to traders.
