01Universal comparison sheet
instrument decision for Ethiopia: compare the exact symbol by contract size, cash value per price move, trading hours, spread or commission, margin, holding cost and recent volatility before choosing exposure.
| Field | Decision |
|---|
| Symbol/suffix | Which contract is actually traded? |
| Contract size | How much exposure does one lot create? |
| Pip/point value | How does price movement become cash P/L? |
| Hours/breaks | Can it be traded in the intended Ethiopian session? |
| Spread/commission | What is opening and round-trip cost? |
| Margin/holding | What collateral and overnight cost apply? |
| Volatility | Does minimum volume fit the cash-risk limit? |
02Six groups
Forex pairs quote one currency against another; metals use ounce-based contracts; crypto CFDs create price exposure without coins; energies and indices use their own point/contract conventions; stock CFDs follow exchange-linked sessions and corporate-event rules.
04Ownership boundary
An Exness CFD does not transfer ownership of the underlying currency, metal, coin, share or index constituents. Product labels must not be confused with custody or delivery.
05Ethiopia planning
Ethiopia uses UTC+3 year-round. Foreign-market daylight-saving changes can shift local session overlap even though the Ethiopian clock does not change.
06Decision rule
Choose only when the contract is understood, the minimum valid volume fits the cash-loss ceiling, the market is open during the tested workflow and total cost leaves the strategy viable.
