Updated today

The Exposure tab in MT4/MT5 is a powerful risk management tool that provides summary information on your currency exposure across all open positions. This feature helps traders understand their overall market exposure and manage risk effectively.

What the Exposure Tab Shows:

  • Currency Volumes: Displays the total volume of each currency you're exposed to

  • Buy/Sell Information: Shows how much and what kind of currencies were bought or sold with leverage

  • Consolidated View: Summarizes exposure across all your open positions in one view

  • Risk Assessment: Helps identify overexposure to specific currencies

How to Access the Exposure Tab:

  1. Open your MT4/MT5 platform

  2. Navigate to the "Terminal" window (usually at the bottom of the screen)

  3. Click on the "Exposure" tab

  4. View your current currency exposure across all positions

Understanding your currency exposure is essential for balanced trading and effective risk management. The Exposure tab helps you avoid overexposure to specific currencies and maintain a diversified trading approach.
