Exness Web Terminal — Where the Chart Window Ends · South Africa
A map of what the browser platform can finish on its own, what only the Personal Area can do, and why no amount of money ever moves from a chart.
Open Exness Account →Everything the Exness Terminal does in a browser is done to the market: positions are opened and closed, protective levels are attached and moved, waiting orders are placed and cancelled, and the account it is connected to can be read. Everything else about that account — creating it, changing it, verifying the identity attached to it, and above all adding money to it or taking money out — belongs to the Personal Area. The chart window never moves money; it only sees the balance afterwards.
The line between the two screens
- The browser platform acts on the market: it opens and closes positions, attaches and moves protective levels, and places or cancels orders that are still waiting.
- It reads the account it is connected to — what is open, what that is worth, what has already been done — and it changes nothing else about that account.
- It cannot create an account, change what an account is, or move a single unit of money in or out.
- Money changes hands only on an instruction given in the Personal Area; the chart window sees the outcome as a different balance and nothing more.
- Identity, passwords and the settings that define an account sit on the account side of the line and are not reachable from a chart.
- One sign-in reaches both screens, which is why the boundary is easy to miss until something you need turns out to be on the other side of it.
Which screen does what

Why a chart cannot move money
The browser platform talks to the trading server. That server holds positions, quotes and orders, and it is very good at exactly those things — but it has no authority over the funds on the account. A request to add money or take it out is not something it can accept or refuse: the instruction belongs to a different screen entirely.
This is not a limitation of the browser. The same line runs through the desktop programs and the phone app as well: all three are windows onto the trading server, and none of them is where the account itself is administered. What a chart shows afterwards is only the result — a balance larger or smaller than it was.
Knowing where the line runs saves a great deal of searching. There is no hidden button in the Terminal and no menu that has been overlooked; the action simply is not on that side of the boundary, and looking harder in the chart window will not produce it.
Everything the browser platform can finish on its own
Within its half, the Terminal is complete. A position can be opened at market or set to wait for a price, sized, given a stop loss and a take profit, then modified or closed without ever leaving the page. Orders that have not triggered can be edited or cancelled there too. None of that work needs a second screen.
It also answers most questions about the account it is connected to. What is open, what each position is currently worth, what has already been closed and at what price — all of it is readable there, because all of it is held by the same server the platform is talking to.
The one thing it does with the account rather than with the market is choose which of the trading accounts already attached to the sign-in it is pointed at. Even that is a choice of what to look at, not a change to any of them.
The four things that always send you to the other screen
Money is the first and the most absolute. Adding to the account, taking from it and moving funds between your own accounts are instructions given in the Personal Area, and none of them has an equivalent anywhere in the chart window.
The account itself is the second. It is created there, it is given its type there, and anything that changes what it is happens there. The trading window inherits the result and trades under it without being able to alter it.
Identity is the third: the documents and details that confirm the account belongs to a real person are submitted and checked on the account side, and the Terminal has no part in it. Security is the fourth — the password and the protections on the sign-in itself are changed where the account lives, not where the charts are.
Deciding which screen the answer is on
- If what you want changes a position or an order, it is in the trading window and nowhere else.
- If what you want changes the amount of money on the account, the chart window is the wrong screen — stop looking there.
- If what you want changes the account itself, its settings or its password, it belongs to the Personal Area.
- If you need the account number and the server it belongs to, the Personal Area lists them for every account; the Terminal knows only the one it is connected to.
- If nothing you need is on the market side at all, the chart window does not have to be open for any of it.
Both screens are reached with the same sign-in, so crossing the line costs nothing but a change of screen.
Two screens, two kinds of authority
| Question | Trading window | Personal Area |
|---|---|---|
| What is it pointed at? | One trading account at a time | Every account under the sign-in |
| What can it change? | Positions and the orders waiting behind them | The account itself and the money on it |
| What can it never change? | The amount of money on the account | Anything about a position that is open |
| What does it show about money? | Balance, equity and margin as live figures | The account’s own settled record |
Neither screen is a subset of the other. They divide the account between them, which is why a full session usually needs both.
