No. Verodus is not a brokerage, dealer, or investment firm, and we do not provide brokerage services to the public.

Verodus operates as a technology-enabled performance evaluation platform focused on identifying and assessing disciplined trading behavior through structured, rule-based programs.

During all evaluation phases, trading activity takes place exclusively within market-referenced simulated environments. No live client capital is traded, and participants do not deposit funds for the purpose of market execution.

Participants who meet evaluation criteria may become eligible for continued contractual engagement under Verodus' internal performance framework. All activity remains non-custodial and does not involve the management of third-party funds.

Verodus does not provide live market liquidity or brokerage services.

Market pricing and execution data used within the platform are derived from third-party market data providers and trading infrastructure sources for the sole purpose of supporting a simulated trading environment. For digital asset reference pricing, this may include publicly available pricing data from major global crypto exchanges to reflect general market conditions.

Price feeds are aggregated within the platform to replicate competitive spreads, realistic execution behavior, and dynamic market conditions in a simulated context. The infrastructure is designed to reduce pricing inconsistencies and maintain continuity across evaluation and any subsequent program stages.

All trading activity on the Verodus platform remains simulated. No trades are transmitted to external liquidity venues or exchanges. Verodus retains discretion over internal simulation mechanics, order handling logic, risk parameters, and trade validation in order to protect firm capital and maintain operational integrity.

Verodus supports a selection of professional-grade trading interfaces selected for reliability, speed, and usability within a simulated environment. Currently supported platforms include:

Platform 5 – The gold standard professional platform.

TradeLocker – Used for simulated foreign exchange (FX) and crypto trading environments, offering TradingView-powered charting and a modern web-based experience.

Platform availability may vary depending on program type, simulated asset class, or jurisdiction. Participants select their preferred platform during checkout, and access credentials are provided after account activation.

All platform access provided through Verodus is for simulated trading purposes only.

No. For security, regulatory alignment, and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance, all payments must originate from a payment method owned by the registered account holder.

Strict Policy Enforcement:

The name on the payment method must match the name on the Verodus account and completed identity verification records.

Payments made by third parties—including friends, family members, business partners, or corporate entities—are strictly prohibited.

Any account identified as having been funded through a third-party payment method may be flagged for review. Such accounts may be voided, restricted, or permanently closed without refund. This policy is implemented to mitigate fraud risk, prevent chargebacks, and maintain compliance standards.

Yes. All Verodus trading environments are designed to closely reflect general market conditions within a simulated framework. This includes variable spreads, commissions, execution delays during volatile periods, and price behavior around major news events.

While evaluation accounts use simulated capital, the pricing data and execution logic are structured to approximate real-world market dynamics for performance assessment purposes. This allows strategies to be tested under conditions intended to resemble live market behavior rather than artificial or fixed parameters.

However, simulated environments are not identical to live markets, and differences may occur. These environments are intended to evaluate participant discipline, risk management, and consistency within a controlled simulation setting, rather than to replicate external execution venues.

Yes. Verodus applies commissions within its simulated trading environments to reflect institutional-style cost conditions.

All commissions are applied within the simulated account environment and deducted from simulated account equity to create a realistic cost structure. This framework is intended to discourage overtrading and promote disciplined execution within the evaluation program.

All Verodus assessment accounts operate using simulated capital. No personal funds are required or at risk during the Evaluation phase. These accounts are designed to allow Verodus to assess trader skill, discipline, and strategy performance within a controlled environment.

Upon successfully completing the Evaluation, Qualified Performance Accounts gain access to Verodus-managed accounts. Performance rewards earned are real and withdrawable, according to the program's payout terms, but all trading is conducted under Verodus' internal capital and risk framework.

This structure ensures traders can demonstrate ability and earn performance-based rewards without risking personal funds.

Verodus does not provide tax advice. All payouts from Verodus must be reported in accordance with the laws of your country of residence.

We strongly recommend consulting a qualified tax professional to ensure compliance with local regulations and proper reporting of any performance-based income.

Last updated: February 9, 2026

All Verodus accounts, at every stage—including Evaluation and Qualified Performance Accounts—are subject to a 30-day inactivity limit.

If no trades are executed and the account shows no activity (e.g., balance updates or market interaction) for more than 30 consecutive days, the account may be archived or deactivated. Once an account is deactivated due to inactivity, this action is permanent and cannot be reversed.

Traders anticipating an absence of 30 days or longer should contact support in advance at support@verodus.com to request a temporary account freeze or other assistance.

At Verodus, we provide a structured trading environment, platforms, and resources to support your trading experience. However, all trading activity and decisions remain the responsibility of the account holder.

Key Responsibilities of Traders:

1. Account Management

• Individual control: You are solely responsible for all account activity, credentials, and trading decisions.
• Prohibited sharing: Only the verified account holder may access and execute trades. Sharing login information or account access with others is strictly forbidden.
• Data security: Verodus is not liable for losses resulting from compromised credentials or user-side data breaches. Maintaining the security of your login information is your responsibility.

2. Trading Responsibility

• Simulated capital use: Even when trading with simulated or evaluation funds, all decisions and actions are under your accountability. Treat the environment seriously and act as if managing live capital.
• Full accountability: Every trade, position, and decision taken on your account is your responsibility.
• No liability for Verodus: Verodus is not responsible for losses, errors, or breaches caused by user actions or external factors outside our control.

Verodus provides the tools, data, and infrastructure to support your trading, but the outcome of any trading activity is determined by the choices you make. Always trade with diligence, discipline, and awareness of the rules.

Violations of hard rules—such as exceeding predefined drawdown or risk limits—trigger automated risk controls within the simulated environment. Account activity is immediately paused, and the evaluation or program session is closed. Accounts that breach these limits are not eligible for reset or continuation.

Last updated: February 9, 2026

No prior trading credentials, certifications, or professional history are required to participate in Verodus evaluations. We do not request resumes, trading statements, or proof of prior performance.

The evaluation itself serves as the qualification process. Your performance within the Verodus framework—how you manage risk, follow program rules, and execute consistently—is the sole factor determining progression. This ensures equal opportunity for all participants, regardless of background, education, or previous trading experience.

Verodus supports a wide range of discretionary and systematic strategies; however, certain practices are prohibited because they exploit technical limitations or do not reflect disciplined trading within the simulated environment.

Prohibited strategies include, but are not limited to:

• Gap trading
• High-frequency trading (HFT)
• Toxic trading flow
• Server spamming
• Latency arbitrage
• Hedging
• Long-short arbitrage
• Reverse arbitrage across accounts or platforms
• Tick scalping
• Server execution
• Opposite account trading
• Copy trading or third-party account management
• Grid trading and Martingale-style loss recovery

Engaging in any of these strategies undermines risk integrity and the objectives of performance assessment. Detection of prohibited behavior may result in account suspension, termination, or disqualification of simulated profits.

Last updated: February 9, 2026

Copy trading is permitted only under strict conditions.

Allowed:

• Copying trades from your own personal strategy within your Verodus account, provided the strategy is independently developed and executed by you.

Not Allowed:

• Copying from third-party signal services
• Using "pass-the-challenge" providers
• Copying trades from other Verodus users
• Mirrored or coordinated trading across multiple participants

The purpose of the evaluation is to assess your individual decision-making, risk management, and execution. Reliance on external signals or coordinated activity undermines this process and may result in account suspension, termination, or disqualification of simulated profits.

Stop Loss orders are not universally enforced on all account types; however, their use is strongly encouraged within the simulated environment.

Trading without defined risk controls significantly increases the likelihood of rule breaches. Certain specialized or advanced account configurations may require a visible Stop Loss upon trade entry. When applicable, these requirements are clearly disclosed prior to account selection.

Last updated: February 9, 2026

Internal Hedging: Allowed. You may hold long and short positions on the same instrument within a single account.

Cross-Account Hedging: Not allowed. Taking opposing positions across multiple accounts—whether owned by you or coordinated with others—is strictly prohibited.

Position Stacking: Allowed, provided total exposure remains within defined risk and leverage limits.

Any attempt at cross-account coordination is considered a violation of risk parameters and may result in account suspension, termination, or disqualification of simulated profits.

The Daily Drawdown is calculated based on the higher of your account balance or equity at the daily reset time (00:00 UTC).

This limit includes:

• Realized losses
• Unrealized (floating) losses

If open positions cause equity to exceed the daily threshold—even temporarily—the account is considered to have breached the limit, regardless of whether trades are subsequently closed.

Last updated: February 9, 2026

The Maximum Loss represents the absolute downside limit for an account. Equity must never fall below the defined threshold relative to the initial account size.

This rule is continuously monitored and enforced automatically. Once the Maximum Loss is breached, the account is permanently closed within the simulated environment to maintain program integrity and risk management standards.

Yes. To discourage execution patterns that exploit the simulated environment, Verodus requires that at least 50% of your gross generated profits (for Qualified Performance Accounts) or total targeted profits (for Evaluations) come from trades that exceed two minutes in duration.

Occasional rapid exits due to errors or market volatility are acceptable. However, if the total profit from trades lasting less than two minutes exceeds 50% of gross generated profits (for qualified accounts) or 50% of total targeted profits (for evaluations), this rule is considered breached, which may result in trade review, profit adjustment, or account suspension or termination.

Last updated: February 9, 2026

Gambling behavior includes, but is not limited to:

• Excessive risk concentration on single trades
• Repeated use of maximum leverage
• Trading without a defined risk management plan
• "All-in" or recovery-based execution patterns

Verodus reserves the right to intervene, issue warnings, adjust profits, or terminate accounts that exhibit behavior inconsistent with professional risk management and the objectives of the evaluation or qualified trading program.

Weekend holding depends on asset class and follows the published Challenge rules for 1-Step, 2-Step Lite, and 2-Step Pro:

• Crypto: Crypto instruments trade continuously and may be held through the weekend.
• Forex, Indices, and Commodities: Weekend holding is not permitted, unless Weekend Holding Addon purchased; positions must be closed before 22:00 UTC Friday (see your program’s rule page).

Traders should be aware of:

• Reduced liquidity

• Increased volatility during market reopenings

Last updated: February 9, 2026

Leverage is designed to balance opportunity with risk control:

• Forex (FX): Up to 1:100 (evaluation-dependent)
• Crypto: Up to 1:3 (instrument-dependent)

Leverage limits are consistent across evaluation and qualified stages unless otherwise stated.

Verodus allows unlimited Assessment (Evaluation) Accounts with no allocation limits.

Qualified Performance Accounts are subject to the following limits for risk management and regulatory compliance:

Household Limit:
Maximum $400,000 total initial allocation across all Qualified Performance Accounts per household.

Per-Strategy Limit:
Maximum $300,000 per trading strategy, where a “strategy” is defined by the specific asset being traded (e.g., GBPJPY, BTCUSD, XAUUSD).

You cannot exceed $300,000 exposure to the same asset across multiple Qualified Performance Accounts, even at different times.

Examples

Allowed:

• Trading GBPJPY on a $300,000 account and EURUSD on a $100,000 account (different assets).
• Trading BTCUSD on a $250,000 account and ETHUSD on a $100,000 account (different cryptocurrencies).

Not Allowed:

• Trading XAUUSD on two accounts (e.g., $200,000 each) — this exceeds the $300,000 per-asset limit.
• Placing the same trade idea on highly correlated assets (e.g., EURUSD and GBPUSD) at the same time if it effectively doubles exposure on one strategy.

Summary

• Assessment Accounts: Unlimited accounts, no limits.
• Qualified Performance Accounts: $400,000 max per household | $300,000 max per asset/strategy.

Verodus offers up to $1,000,000 in total capital availability through its programs and scaling plans. All Qualified accounts remain subject to the household and per-strategy limits above.

These rules promote responsible trading, diversification, and compliance while allowing traders to manage multiple accounts effectively.

• Authorized Access Only: Trading from multiple IP addresses or devices is allowed only if all trades are executed by the verified account holder who completed the KYC process.
• Responsible Use: VPNs and VPS should be used solely to support secure and compliant trading activity and must not be used to bypass platform rules or risk limits.
