What percentage of the profits do I keep?

Last updated: March 19, 2026

Verodus starts every Qualified Trader at an 80/20 split (you keep 80%).

  • After 3 consecutive profitable months (minimum 4% net profit each month, no rule violations), your split increases to 85/15
  • After 6 consecutive profitable months (average 5% monthly net profit, no violations), your split increases to 90/10

Higher performance and consistency result in a permanent increase to your profit share.

How does the scaling plan work?

Last updated: March 19, 2026

Once you reach the 85/15 tier, capital scaling is unlocked.

  • Your account increases by +25% every 4 consecutive profitable months
  • Requirement: average 5% net profit per month, with no rule breaches
  • Scaling continues upon request up to a maximum simulated capital of $1,000,000

Scaling may be applied multiple times.
