Create a secure password with at least 8 characters, mixing uppercase, lowercase, and numbers. Immediately enable two-factor authentication to enhance account security.

For proof of address, submit recent utility bills, bank statements from Ugandan banks, government correspondence, or rental agreements.

Verification usually completes within 24-48 hours on business days. Our compliance team manually reviews documents for validity. If documents are rejected, resubmit with better quality or alternative paperwork.

Phone Number Verification Steps

Enter your Ugandan phone number including the +256 country code. We send SMS verification codes which expire after 10 minutes. If no code arrives, request a new one. Our platform supports all major networks such as MTN, Airtel, and Africell.

Selecting Your Gold Trading Account Type

Exness provides three main account types tailored to various trading needs. Each type grants access to gold trading with different spreads and commission structures. Choose based on your trading experience and capital deployment.

Standard accounts include all costs within the spread and have no commissions, ideal for beginners. Pro accounts offer reduced spreads but add commissions per trade, suited for active traders. Raw Spread accounts provide institutional pricing with minimal spreads plus commissions.

Leverage Options and Risk Management

We offer leverage up to 1:2000 on gold. Higher leverage increases both risk and reward. Margin requirements depend on leverage: at 1:100, a $1000 gold trade needs $10 margin; at 1:500, only $2 margin is required. Automatic margin calls activate at 60%, and stop-outs occur at 20% margin levels to protect your funds.

Deposit Methods Available in Uganda

Exness supports diverse deposit methods for Ugandan traders. Local bank wire transfers from institutions like Stanbic and Centenary Bank take 1-3 business days. Mobile money deposits via MTN and Airtel Money process instantly with minimum limits. International e-wallets such as Skrill and Neteller are also available with fast processing.

Minimum Deposit Requirements by Method

Bank wire transfers require a minimum of $50 USD equivalent. Mobile money deposits start at $10 USD equivalent with no extra fees. Skrill and Neteller deposits also have a $10 minimum and process within 15-30 minutes.

Understanding Gold Trading Spreads and Costs

Gold spreads fluctuate based on market hours and volatility. The tightest spreads occur during London and New York sessions overlap. Spreads widen in Asian hours due to lower liquidity. Standard accounts embed costs within spreads, while Pro and Raw Spread accounts separate commissions.

Spreads increase temporarily during economic events, occasionally reaching 2-5 pips. Normal spreads remain within advertised ranges. Transparent commission structures apply to Pro and Raw Spread accounts.

Commission Structure for Professional Accounts

Pro accounts charge $3.50 per side per standard lot on gold trades, totaling $7 per round-turn. Raw Spread accounts follow the same commission model but offer tighter spreads. Commissions are deducted automatically upon closing positions and shown in trade history. Estimated commission costs display before order execution.

Install with administrator rights on Windows. Mac users can access the native app or web terminal. Mobile apps for iOS and Android are available in app stores.

Login with credentials emailed after registration. Select the appropriate server based on account type and region; Ugandan clients usually connect to European or Asian servers.

Customize charts using timeframes like H1 and H4, applying indicators such as Moving Averages, RSI, and MACD.

Order Types and Execution Methods

Available order types include Market, Buy/Sell Limit, and Buy/Sell Stop. Stop Loss and Take Profit can be added during order placement or modified later. Trailing stops adjust stop loss levels automatically. One-Click Trading enables rapid execution, recommended only after understanding risks.

Leverage Calculations and Margin Requirements

Leverage allows controlling larger gold positions with less capital. At 1:2000 leverage, $1 controls $2000 worth of gold. Margin equals position size divided by leverage. For example, a $2000 position at 1:100 requires a $200 margin; at 1:500, only $400. Free margin is available funds to open new trades, and used margin indicates locked capital.

Risk Management with Leverage

Using high leverage increases both profits and losses. Always use Stop Loss orders to limit risks. Limit exposure to 2-3% of your account balance per trade. Calculate position sizes considering stop loss distance and risk tolerance. Monitor margin levels to avoid margin calls at 60% and automatic stop-outs at 20%.
