# Verodus

> Verodus is a simulated proprietary trading firm that evaluates traders through structured, rule-based simulated challenges and pays performance rewards from its own resources for measured success in a fully simulated trading environment. No real client capital is traded at any stage. Available in 175+ countries.

Verodus offers four programs: Instant Funding plus three evaluations (1-Step, 2-Step Lite, 2-Step Pro). Instant sizes are $5,000–$100,000. Evaluations are $5,000–$200,000. Traders who pass an evaluation (or buy Instant) enter the Qualified Performance Phase, keep up to 90% of simulated performance, and can request rewards weekly, bi-weekly, or on demand. Evaluation fees are 100% refundable on the first qualified payout; Instant fees are not refundable.
