Program Rules & Evaluation Agreement

Effective Date: December 2nd, 2025

Welcome to Exodus Trading Ltd.! This document outlines the rules, parameters, and conditions for participating in our 1-Step Evaluation Challenge. By purchasing and participating in this program, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to comply with all rules outlined herein.

Violation of any rule will result in immediate account termination and forfeiture of any simulated profits or eligibility for payouts.

1. Program Overview

1-Step Evaluation Challenge

The Exodus 1-Step Challenge is a single-phase evaluation where traders must demonstrate consistent profitability while adhering to strict risk management rules. Upon successful completion, traders become eligible for simulated funded accounts.

  • Account Sizes: $25,000 | $50,000 | $100,000 | $200,000
  • Challenge Type: Single-Phase (1-Step)
  • Leverage: Up to 1:100
  • Profit Target: 8% of initial account balance
  • Trading Period: Unlimited (no time restrictions)

2. Trading Rules & Risk Parameters

2.1. Maximum Daily Loss (4%)

You must not lose more than 4% of your account balance in any single trading day.

  • Daily loss is calculated from the account balance at the start of the trading day (5:00 PM EST rollover).
  • Both realized and unrealized losses count toward your daily loss limit.
  • Breaching this limit will result in immediate account termination.

Example:

$100,000 account → Maximum daily loss = $4,000

If your balance reaches $96,000 (including open positions), you will breach.

2.2. Maximum Drawdown - Static (6%)

Your account balance must never fall below 94% of your initial starting balance.

  • This is a static drawdown, meaning it does not trail with profits.
  • Both realized and unrealized losses count toward your maximum drawdown.
  • Once you achieve the profit target, the drawdown limit remains at the initial 6%.
  • Breaching this limit will result in immediate account termination.

Example:

$100,000 account → Maximum drawdown = $6,000

Your balance (including open trades) must never go below $94,000.

Even if you profit to $108,000 (8% profit target), your drawdown limit stays at $94,000.

2.3. Profit Target (8%)

To successfully complete the evaluation, you must achieve an 8% profit on your initial account balance.

  • Only closed positions count toward your profit target.
  • Open floating profits do not count until trades are closed.
  • There is no time limit to achieve your profit target.

Profit Targets by Account Size:

$25,000 → $2,000 profit target

$50,000 → $4,000 profit target

$100,000 → $8,000 profit target

$200,000 → $16,000 profit target

3. Allowed Trading Practices

  • Expert Advisors (EAs): Fully allowed – you may use automated trading systems.
  • Trading Bots: Permitted – algorithmic trading is accepted.

  • Copy Trading Between Accounts: Using multiple accounts to mirror trades or hedge risk.
  • Reverse/Arbitrage Strategies: Exploiting price discrepancies across brokers or feeds.
  • Tick Scalping: Exploiting latency or delayed price feeds for guaranteed profits.
  • Account Sharing: Sharing login credentials or allowing others to trade your account.
  • High-Frequency Trading (HFT): Excessive order placement intended to manipulate or overload systems.

Any detected use of prohibited strategies will result in immediate disqualification and account termination, with no refund or payout eligibility.

5. Minimum Trading Days

There is no minimum trading day requirement for Exodus challenges. You may complete your evaluation in as few days as you wish, provided you meet the profit target and adhere to all risk management rules.

6. Consistency Rule

Exodus does not enforce a consistency rule. You may achieve your profit target in a single trade or over multiple trades—there are no restrictions on how profits are earned, as long as all other rules are followed.

7. Account Credentials & Platform

7.1. Upon successful payment, you will receive your MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5 trading credentials via email within 24 hours.

7.2. You are responsible for safeguarding your login details. Exodus is not liable for any unauthorized access resulting from shared or compromised credentials.

7.3. Only one account per trader is permitted unless explicitly authorized by Exodus management.

8. Simulated Funded Account

Post-Evaluation Phase

Upon successfully passing the evaluation, you will receive access to a simulated funded account with the following terms:

  • Profit Split: Determined upon funding (details provided after passing evaluation).
  • Payout Frequency: On-demand – request payouts anytime after meeting minimum payout thresholds.
  • Payout Method: Exclusively USDT (Tron TRC-20).
  • Same Risk Rules Apply: Daily loss and max drawdown limits remain in effect on funded accounts.

All funded accounts remain simulated. No real capital is deployed. Payouts are performance-based rewards, not withdrawals of real trading profits.

9. Scaling Plan

Exodus offers an unlimited scaling program for successful funded traders. Consistent profitability and adherence to risk rules may qualify you for account size increases over time.

Scaling eligibility is reviewed internally and communicated directly to qualified traders.

10. Breach & Account Termination

Your account will be immediately terminated if:

  • You exceed the 4% maximum daily loss limit.
  • Your account balance falls below the 6% maximum static drawdown threshold.
  • You engage in any prohibited trading practice.
  • You violate any term outlined in this agreement or the Terms of Service.

No refunds will be issued for breached accounts. You may repurchase a new evaluation challenge at any time.

11. KYC & Payout Verification

11.1. Before receiving any simulated payout, you must complete our KYC (Know Your Customer) verification process.

11.2. Required documents may include government-issued ID, proof of residence, and a signed trader agreement.

11.3. Failure to complete KYC may result in payout delays or disqualification from the funded program.

11.4. All payout requests are subject to internal compliance review and may be withheld if fraudulent activity or rule violations are suspected.

Exodus reserves the right to monitor all trading activity, review account performance, and conduct audits at any time. This includes but is not limited to:

  • Trade history analysis
