An Exness Account Between Your Visits

What carries on and what waits

• Open positions are held on the broker servers, so they stay open whether or not any program on your device is running.
• Pending orders keep the levels they were left at and can trigger while nobody is looking at a screen.
• Margin level and automatic closure keep applying to a quiet account exactly as they do to an active one.
• Approved identity verification stays approved — a quiet month does not send the account back through checks.
• No inactivity fee is charged, so the passing of time by itself does not reduce the balance.
• The login does not expire because it went unused; a session does, and that is a different object.
• What waits for you: closing or editing a trade, replacing a document that reached its expiry, and every change to account settings.

Runs on the broker side vs waits for somebody to act

The account is a record, not a program

The account exists as a record kept by the broker. MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, the browser platform and the phone app are windows onto that record; none of them is the place where it is stored. Closing a window changes what is visible, not what exists.

That is why an account behaves the same whether it is watched all day or not opened for weeks. The record is moved by the market and by the rules attached to the account type, and both of those keep working while the screen is dark.

What a month of silence does not do

A quiet month does not cancel pending orders, does not close open positions, does not reset a verified identity and does not shrink the balance on its own. It also does not remove the account: no inactivity fee is applied to it.

What a quiet month can do is let the market carry a position a long way from where it was left, because automatic closure is applied by the server rather than by the person who opened the trade. Reading the current margin level is therefore the first useful thing to do on returning, before anything is touched.

The part that will not happen by itself

Nothing about the account rearranges itself. A document that reached its expiry is replaced because somebody replaced it; a password changes because somebody changed it; an additional trading account appears because somebody opened one. The passing of a month does none of these things.

The same holds for the record of what happened. A history that looks unfamiliar after a long gap is not a history that drifted — it is a history nobody has read yet, and reading it is the only step that was ever skipped.

Coming back after a long gap

1. Read the margin level first — it says how close the account stands to automatic closure.
2. Look at which pending orders are still sitting there and whether any of them triggered in the meantime.
3. Compare balance with equity: the distance between them is the result the market produced without you.
4. Confirm that no verification document has reached its own expiry since the last visit.
5. Only then decide whether anything should be closed, edited or left exactly as it is.

The first four steps change nothing on the account. Every action in the fifth one does.
