Exness Terminal — what is computed on screen and what is not — Pakistan
The browser platform computes the margin a volume requires; the arithmetic that produces the volume itself happens before the session starts.
Open Exness Account →In a browser session the order ticket is the calculating surface: it returns the margin the entered volume requires and the free margin that would remain, recomputed as the field changes. The figures upstream of it have no field at all — the volume implied by an amount of money, the cost of a planned round turn, and anything that combines several orders are produced before the session and carried into it.
The ticket answers one question: what the volume just entered requires, and what free margin is left after it. Everything that decides the volume itself is answered before the session opens.

| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Surface | Browser order ticket |
| Computed on the ticket | Required margin and free margin, as the volume is edited |
| Produced before the session | Volume, cost of a round turn, figures spanning orders |
| Where reusable figures live | Outside the session, or in an installed terminal |
What has no field on the screen
Turning an amount of money into a volume needs the value of one price step at that volume and the distance to the intended level; no order ticket asks for a money figure and returns a volume. The same applies to the cost of a planned round turn, which follows from the cost structure of the account type rather than from the ticket, and to any figure that spans more than one order.
The consequence is a habit rather than a limitation. Figures produced once and reused — a volume table for the instruments actually traded, the margin a usual set of positions occupies — are worth keeping outside the session, because a browser tab starts at the ticket and carries nothing else with it. The lot size calculator and the trading calculator produce both in a couple of minutes.
What the order screen returns
The order ticket takes an instrument, a volume and the levels, and returns the margin that volume requires together with the free margin that would remain. Both figures are recomputed while the volume field is edited, which is the practical reason a volume is checked there rather than on paper.
Arithmetic that is kept, and arithmetic that is repeated
A figure produced once and reused — a volume table for the instruments actually traded, the margin a usual set of positions occupies — keeps its value between sessions. MetaTrader 5 and MetaTrader 4 hold that kind of arrangement on the machine, while a browser tab starts at the ticket each time and the same figures are produced again.
Where the same ticket opens elsewhere
The same account and the same required-margin field are reached from the Exness Trade app on Android and iPhone & iPad, and from an installed terminal on a Windows PC, where the reusable figures can be kept beside the chart.
Before the first order of a session
- Have the volume you intend to use for each instrument written down before the ticket is open.
- Have the margin a usual set of positions occupies, so free margin can be read against something.
- Enter the volume in the ticket and check the required margin it returns before the order is sent.

What the order ticket returns, and what it asks for
The ticket asks for an instrument, a volume and the levels. In exchange it returns required margin and free margin, both in the account currency, and it keeps them current while the volume is edited. That exchange is the whole of the on-screen arithmetic, and for a planned order it is enough.
What the ticket never asks for is an amount of money. There is no field that takes the sum an order is allowed to lose and returns the volume that fits it, because that conversion needs the value of one price step at a volume that has not been chosen yet.
Figures worth producing before the session
Three of them are stable enough to be reused: the volume you intend to use per instrument, the margin a usual set of positions requires, and the round-turn cost implied by the cost structure of the account type. None of the three changes between sessions, and all three take a minute with the lot size calculator and the trading calculator.
Producing them in advance also removes the one situation the order ticket handles badly: arithmetic done in a hurry with the ticket already open. The ticket is good at checking a volume and poor at inventing one.
Where each figure is produced
| Figure | On the browser order screen | Produced before the session |
|---|---|---|
| Required margin for the volume entered | Yes, while the field is edited | Not needed |
| Free margin remaining after the order | Yes | Not needed |
| Volume implied by an amount of money | No field | Yes, from the step value and the distance to the level |
| Cost of a planned round turn | No field | Yes, from the cost structure of the account type |
| A reusable volume table per instrument | Not carried between sessions | Yes, kept outside the platform |
