At some point, you may log into your Exness dashboard and notice that one of your accounts is marked as “archived.” This can be confusing, especially if you didn’t close the account yourself. To avoid misunderstandings and manage your accounts efficiently, it’s helpful to understand how Exness Archived trading accounts work, why they are archived, and what options you have after that status is applied.

What Are Exness Archived Trading Accounts?

Exness Archived trading accounts are real or demo accounts that are no longer active but not deleted. When an account is marked as archived, it’s no longer displayed in your main account list, and you can’t use it for trading. However, the account isn’t permanently erased — it's stored for record-keeping and reference purposes.

Archiving happens automatically under certain conditions, and it is part of Exness's system to keep your account list organized and manageable.

When Are Trading Accounts Archived?

Exness will automatically archive an account if it meets specific inactivity conditions. Below are the most common reasons:

Common triggers for archiving:

  • No trading activity for 90 days or more
  • Account balance is zero
  • No deposits or withdrawals for a prolonged period
  • Demo accounts after a certain period of non-use

Once these conditions are met, the account is automatically moved to the archive.

Differences Between Archived and Active Accounts

Here’s a breakdown of what you can and can’t do with archived accounts.

  • Can’t place new trades
  • Can’t deposit or withdraw
  • Still visible in the "Archived" tab
  • Trading history remains accessible
  • Can be reactivated in some cases
  • Does not affect other accounts

Account Lifecycle and Archiving Conditions

Account Type Condition for Archiving Action Taken by Exness
Real Account No activity + $0 balance Archived after 90 days
Demo Account No login for several weeks Archived automatically
Real Account Inactive but has balance Remains visible, not archived
Active Account Trading or deposit ongoing Remains active

Can Archived Accounts Be Restored?

In most cases, archived accounts cannot be reactivated. Exness encourages users to open a new account instead.

Final Notes on Exness Archived Trading Accounts

Understanding Exness Archived trading accounts can help you manage your profile more effectively. Archiving is not the same as deleting — it’s a system to clean up inactive accounts while preserving access to important data. Knowing when accounts get archived and how to access them ensures that nothing gets lost unexpectedly. If you ever need to trade again, opening a new account is usually the fastest way to resume activity.
