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%).

Default split is 80%. 90% is available only with the On-Demand add-on. Weekly and On-Demand cannot both apply at once. There is no performance scale to 90/10.

How does the scaling plan work?

Last updated: March 19, 2026

Capital scaling is optional and on request. It is not unlocked by a rewards-tier climb.

  • 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.

Do I have to hit profit targets once I’m funded?

Last updated: March 19, 2026

No. Funded accounts have no profit targets or monthly requirements.

Trading is fully flexible, provided all risk rules are respected.

Is there a minimum target needed before I can request a performance fee?

Last updated: March 19, 2026

A fixed $100 profit threshold is required for weekly, bi-weekly, and on-demand rewards. The first payout and every payout after use the same rule: that plan’s payout rule and the selected cycle.

  • Same rule for every payout (first and later): $100, that plan’s payout rule, and the cycle
  • Weekly: 7 calendar days (plus Eligibility)
  • Bi-weekly: 14 calendar days (plus Eligibility)
  • On-demand: available when eligibility requirements are met
How do I get paid?

Last updated: March 19, 2026

All payout requests are submitted through the Verodus Trader Dashboard (Payouts tab).

  • All positions must be closed before submitting
  • Most payouts are processed within 2 business days
  • After each successful payout, the account balance resets
Can I request bi-weekly performance fees?

Last updated: March 19, 2026

Yes. You may enable scheduled bi-weekly payouts for consistent withdrawals.

Payout spacing is the cycle you selected: 7 calendar days for weekly, 14 calendar days for bi-weekly, or that plan’s payout rule for on-demand. Every cycle has a $100 minimum. Instant and 1-Step have no minimum trading days. 2-Step Qualified Performance needs 3 trading days on every payout. First and later payouts use the same rule.

How do on-demand payouts work?

Last updated: March 19, 2026

Payouts can be requested through the dashboard once the following conditions are met:

  • $100 since last reward
  • On Instant: no minimum trading days; Best Day ≤20% of Positive Days’ Profit
  • On 1-Step Qualified Performance: $100. No minimum trading days. Best Day ≤50% of Positive Days’ Profit
  • On 2-Step Lite / Pro Qualified Performance: 3 trading days
  • On-demand: available when eligibility requirements are met

Most requests are processed within 1–2 business days.

What are the maximum lot sizes on funded accounts?

Last updated: March 19, 2026

Funded accounts have defined maximum position size limits based on account balance.

  • Limits apply to total open exposure at any given time
  • Exact limits are displayed within the dashboard
  • Increases may be requested after demonstrating consistent performance
What happens if I break a trading rule?

Last updated: March 19, 2026

Consequences depend on the severity of the violation:

  • Major breaches (e.g., drawdown limits, prohibited strategies): account closure
  • Minor breaches: potential profit adjustments or removal

All cases are reviewed individually. For clarification, contact support@verodus.com.

Can I trade during major news releases?

Last updated: March 19, 2026

Yes. News trading is allowed on funded accounts.

  • You may open and close around high-impact news events
  • News bracketing and gap trading remain prohibited

Full details are on the News Trading Policy page and in the dashboard.

What happens if I stop trading for a while?

Last updated: March 19, 2026

A 30-day inactivity rule applies.

If no trades are placed for 30 consecutive days, the account may be permanently closed.

For planned inactivity, notify support@verodus.com in advance.

Is there a legal agreement?

Last updated: March 19, 2026

Yes. After completing KYC, a trader agreement is issued for review and signature.

This agreement outlines profit splits, rules, and partnership terms.

What documentation is required for a funded account?

Last updated: March 19, 2026

You must complete full KYC verification, including:

  • Government-issued identification
  • Proof of address
  • Accurate withdrawal details in your profile
Can I combine multiple funded accounts?

Last updated: March 19, 2026

Yes. Multiple Qualified Trader accounts can be merged, subject to a maximum combined size.

Submit a request to support@verodus.com, and the process will be handled by the team.

Can I get my evaluation fee refunded?

Last updated: March 19, 2026

Yes, on 1-Step, 2-Step Lite, and 2-Step Pro: 100% of the original challenge fee is refunded with your first successful performance reward. Add-ons are not refunded if they were purchased (Weekend Holding, Weekly, On-Demand, or any other add-on). Instant has no challenge-fee refund.
