General Questions

What is Exness Funds?

Exness Funds is a proprietary trading firm that funds skilled traders with real capital. We offer multiple funding models designed to match different trading styles—whether you want instant funding or prefer a structured evaluation. Our goal is simple: find the best traders and give them the capital they need to scale. No unnecessary restrictions—just fair funding for serious traders.

We offer four funding options, so traders can choose what fits their style:

  • Instant Funding → Get a live account immediately—no evaluation required.
  • 1-Step Evaluation → A single-phase challenge for traders who want funding fast.
  • 2-Step Evaluation → A traditional prop firm model with two verification stages.
  • 3-Step Evaluation → A lower-cost option with multiple phases for traders who prefer a longer process.


All programs come with no time limits, End-of-Day (EOD) Drawdown, up to 90% profit splits, and the freedom to trade your way.

Exness Funds is open to traders worldwide, as long as your country isn’t restricted due to regulations. Whether you’re a scalper, swing trader, or position trader, if you can manage risk and show consistency, you can qualify for funding.

No prior trading experience or certifications are required—just skill, discipline, and a solid strategy.

Yes. Exness Funds is a real proprietary trading firm that provides traders with access to firm capital once they pass the evaluation. We offer transparent funding with clear risk management and equitable profit sharing. There are no tricks or hidden terms.

We operate transparently, with no trailing drawdowns, no forced time limits, and no unnecessary restrictions. Traders get their payouts on time, and the firm’s rules are built to reward skill, not random luck.

We don’t believe in making things harder than they need to be. A lot of prop firms add unnecessary restrictions or hidden rules that limit traders—we don’t.

Here’s what sets Exness Funds apart:

  • Multiple Funding Choices → Instant Funding, 1-Step, 2-Step, and 3-Step Evaluations—no one-size-fits-all approach.
  • No Time Limits → Take as long as you need to hit your targets. No pressure, no rush.
  • End-of-Day (EOD) Drawdown → Your daily balance, not intraday highs, is used to calculate drawdown.
  • No Minimum Profitable Days → Hit the profit target, get funded—no unnecessary “consistency” rules.
  • 90% Profit Split → Earn the majority of your profits with fast, hassle-free payouts.
  • Fair & Transparent Rules → No shady policies, just clear, trader-friendly guidelines.


Our goal is to support and cultivate the growth of the best traders, not to deceive them.

If you need assistance, you can reach our support team anytime through:

Email: [email protected]
Live Chat: Available through your trader dashboard.
Community: Join our Discord and Telegram to connect with other traders and get updates.

Our support team typically responds within 24 hours for emails, while live chat provides real-time assistance during support hours.

You can track everything inside your trader dashboard. Once you log in, you’ll see:

  • Your current account balance
  • Evaluation progress (profit targets, drawdowns, and completion status)
  • Trading metrics (win rate, number of trades, and overall performance)


The dashboard updates in real-time, so you always know where you stand.

  • If you’re in the evaluation phase, inactivity doesn’t affect your account—since there’s no time limit, you can take breaks whenever you need.
  • If you have a funded account, you must remain active. If you don’t place a trade for 30 consecutive days, your account may be deactivated.


If you need a break due to personal reasons, just contact support before you hit the inactivity limit to keep your account open.

Yes. All funded traders must complete KYC verification before receiving their accounts and payouts. This is to prevent fraud and comply with financial regulations.

The process is simple:

1. Identity Verification → Submit a government-issued ID (passport, driver’s license, or national ID).
2. Address Confirmation → Provide a recent utility bill or bank statement matching your registered details.
3. Selfie Verification → Upload a live photo of yourself for identity confirmation.

The KYC process usually takes 24-48 hours, and once approved, you’re good to go.

If your KYC verification is rejected, you’ll receive an email explaining why. Common reasons include:

Blurry or low-quality documents – Make sure your ID and address proof are clear and readable.
Mismatched information – Your submitted details must match your Exness Funds account.
Expired documents – Only valid, up-to-date IDs and address proofs are accepted.

If you fail KYC, you can resubmit with the correct documents. If there’s a serious issue, contact support, and they’ll guide you through fixing it. No KYC = No funded account & no payouts.

Yes, traders can purchase and manage multiple evaluation accounts at the same time. There are a few rules:

Evaluation Accounts – You can have as many as you want.
Funded Accounts – There may be a maximum allocation per trader.

There’s no account merging for evaluations, so each challenge is separate. If you want to scale your capital, you can take on multiple accounts. Just be smart about risk management—more accounts = more responsibility.

The evaluation process is simple and trader-friendly. Here’s how it works for each program:

1-Step Evaluation

  • One phase, one target. Hit the profit goal, stay within risk limits, and get funded.

2-Step Evaluation

  • Phase 1: Reach the profit target while following drawdown rules.
  • Phase 2: Show consistency with a lower profit target. Pass both, and you’re funded.

3-Step Evaluation

  • A longer, lower-cost evaluation with three phases. Prove consistency across all steps to get funded.


No time limits
– Take as long as you need to pass.
End-of-Day (EOD) Drawdown – Drawdown is based on daily balance, not mid-trade fluctuations.
No minimum profitable days – Just hit the target, no extra hurdles.

Once you pass, your funded account is activated, and you start trading with funded capital.

Yes, but you’ll need to purchase a new evaluation to try again. There’s no free retries, so if you breach the drawdown limits or fail to hit the profit target, you’ll have to restart.

We don’t put time limits on the evaluation, so take your time, manage risk properly, and don’t rush. Failing isn’t the end—it’s a chance to refine your strategy and come back stronger.

Once you complete the challenge successfully, here’s what happens next:

  1. Account Review → Our team verifies your trades to confirm all rules were followed.
  2. KYC Verification → You’ll need to submit ID verification if you haven’t already.
  3. Funded Agreement → You’ll receive a contract outlining your funded account terms.
  4. Funded Account Activation → Once approved, you’ll get your funded account details and can start trading with real capital.


Once you’re funded, you’ll be trading live capital with up to 90% profit splits and fast payouts.

Typically within 24-48 hours.

Once you complete the evaluation, our team reviews your account and verifies compliance with the trading rules. Your funded account will be issued quickly, usually within one business day, if your KYC is approved and everything else is in order.

If there are any delays, our support team will keep you updated.

Trading Rules

No. Exness Funds doesn’t require a minimum number of profitable trading days.

Some firms force traders to be profitable for a set number of days, but we don’t believe in unnecessary restrictions.You pass if you reach your profit target and adhere to the risk management rules.

There are no time limits or time constraints; you can take a few days or months to complete the task. The focus should be on strategy and risk management, not on rushing to meet targets.

Here’s the breakdown of risk management for each program:

1-Step Evaluation
  • Profit Target: 8%
  • Daily Drawdown: 5%
  • Max Loss: 10%
  • Leverage: 1:100

     

2-Step Evaluation

Phase 1:

  • Profit Target: 8%
  • Daily Drawdown: 5%
  • Max Loss: 10%


Phase 2:

  • Profit Target: 5%
  • Daily Drawdown: 5%
  • Max Loss: 10%

3-Step Evaluation

Phase 1:

  • Profit Target: 10%
  • Daily Drawdown: 3%
  • Max Loss: 6%


Phase 2:

  • Profit Target: 6%
  • Daily Drawdown: 3%
  • Max Loss: 6%


Phase 3:

  • Profit Target: 5%
  • Daily Drawdown: 3%
  • Max Loss: 6%

Instant Funding (No Evaluation)
  • Profit Split: 90%
  • Daily Drawdown: 4%
  • Max Loss: 10%
  • Leverage: 1:100


EOD Drawdown is used by all programs, meaning it is based on the account balance at the end of the trading day. There is no trailing drawdown or intra-day fluctuation surprises.

Exness Funds applies strict but fair drawdown limits to ensure proper risk management:

  • Daily Drawdown Limit:
    • 1-Step & 2-Step Evaluations: 5%
    • 3-Step Evaluation: 3%
    • Instant Funding: 4%
    • This limit resets daily and is calculated based on account balance or equity, whichever is higher.
  • Maximum Drawdown Limit (Static End-of-Day):
    • 1-Step & 2-Step Evaluations: 10%
    • 3-Step Evaluation: 6%
    • Instant Funding: 10%
    • This is the total allowed drawdown before the account is breached.


Exceeding either the daily or maximum drawdown results in account termination. Traders should maintain proper risk management to stay within these limits.

Exness Funds uses Static End-of-Day (EOD) Drawdown, meaning drawdown is based on your account balance at the end of each trading day. Here’s how it works:

  1. Your highest end-of-day balance is recorded each day at the market close.
  2. The maximum drawdown limit is calculated from this balance.
  3. Mid-day fluctuations do not affect your drawdown—only the closing balance matters.


For example, if you have a $100,000 account with a 10% max drawdown, your lowest allowed balance is $90,000. Even if your balance briefly drops to $89,500 during the day but closes above $90,000, you remain within limits.

This method provides more flexibility compared to firms that use trailing drawdowns, which constantly adjust and make it harder to manage risk.

Yes, traders are allowed to:

Hold trades overnight – There are no forced closures at the end of the trading day.
Hold trades over the weekend – Positions do not need to be closed before market close on Fridays.

This provides flexibility for swing traders and those holding longer-term positions. However, traders should be aware of potential risks, such as:

  • Weekend gaps – Prices may open significantly higher or lower after market close.
  • Increased spreads – Liquidity can be lower before and after market hours.

Exness Funds does not impose unnecessary restrictions on trade holding periods, allowing traders to execute their strategies without limitations.

No, trading during high-impact news events is not allowed at Exness Funds. This means traders cannot open new trades a few minutes before or after major economic announcements.

Why is news trading restricted?
  • Extreme volatility – News events can cause sudden, unpredictable price spikes.
  • Liquidity issues – Orders may experience slippage, delayed execution, or widened spreads.
  • Risk management – To maintain fair trading conditions, we avoid strategies that rely on exploiting news-related price gaps.

How does the restriction work?
  • Traders are not allowed to enter new trades within a restricted window before or after high-impact economic releases.
  • Existing trades can remain open during news events, but managing risk is the trader’s responsibility.

The specific restricted timeframes are provided in advance through the trader dashboard and economic calendar.

No, Exness Funds does not impose fixed lot size limits. Traders are free to determine their own position sizing as long as they stay within drawdown limits and risk management rules.

What traders should consider when sizing positions:
  • Leverage – Accounts have a maximum 1:100 leverage across all instruments.
  • Account balance – Position sizing should align with available capital and risk tolerance.
  • Risk per trade – Traders should avoid excessive lot sizes that could lead to breaching the daily drawdown.

Traders have full flexibility in managing their trade sizes, but it is their responsibility to use proper risk management to protect their accounts.

No, traders are not required to set a stop-loss on every trade. However, using stop-loss orders is strongly recommended for proper risk management.

Key considerations for using stop-loss orders:

Protects capital – A stop-loss helps prevent excessive losses in case the market moves unexpectedly.
Risk control – Helps traders manage their daily and maximum drawdown limits.
Volatility management – Prevents accounts from being exposed to sharp market movements.

While stop-losses are not mandatory, traders are expected to exercise proper risk management to ensure they stay within the account’s drawdown limits.

Yes, Expert Advisors (EAs) and algorithmic trading are allowed as long as they follow fair trading practices.

Permitted:

  • EAs and bots that execute trades based on structured, rule-based strategies.
  • Algorithmic systems designed for risk management, trade execution, and automated strategies.

🚫 Not Allowed:

  • Latency arbitrage – Exploiting execution delays or price feed differences.
  • High-Frequency Trading (HFT) – Placing and closing hundreds of trades within milliseconds.
  • Grid/Martingale Strategies – Stacking orders without defined risk parameters.

Traders using EAs are fully responsible for managing their risk and ensuring their strategies comply with Exness Funds’ trading rules.

No, copy trading and signal services are not allowed on funded accounts.

🚫 Prohibited Activities:

  • Using third-party trade copying software to mirror another trader’s positions.
  • Subscribing to external signal services to execute trades automatically.
  • Sharing account access with another person to trade on your behalf.


Exness Funds evaluates traders based on their own skills and risk management, so trading must be done manually or using approved EAs.

If a trader violates Exness Funds’ trading rules, the following consequences apply:

1) Minor Violations (Unintentional Errors):
A warning may be issued if the breach was accidental and did not significantly impact the market or the firm.

2) Serious Violations (Drawdown Breach, Rule Exploits, or Prohibited Strategies):
🚫 Immediate account closure – If a trader exceeds the daily or maximum drawdown limits, the account is breached.
🚫 Forfeiture of profits – Any earnings from rule-breaking trades may be revoked.
🚫 Permanent ban – If a trader engages in manipulation, fraud, or repeated violations, they may be permanently restricted from trading with Exness Funds.

All trading activity is monitored, and violations are reviewed before any action is taken. If you believe your account was unfairly flagged, you can contact support for a review.

Funded Accounts & Payouts

Traders can request payouts directly from their trader dashboard once they generate profits.

Payout Process:
  1. Submit a withdrawal request through the dashboard.
  2. Request is reviewed and approved by the Exness Funds team.
  3. Payment is processed via the selected withdrawal method.
  • Processing time: Typically within 24-48 hours after approval.
  • No minimum payout amount – Traders can withdraw any available profits.

 

Funded traders can request withdrawals on demand—there are no fixed payout cycles. Once a trader has generated profits, they can submit a withdrawal request through the trader dashboard.

  • Processing time: Typically within 24-48 hours after approval.
  • No restrictions on withdrawal frequency – Traders can withdraw as often as they like.
  • Fast processing via bank transfer, crypto, or e-wallets.

This allows traders to access their earnings whenever they choose, ensuring full control over their payouts.

No, there is no minimum withdrawal requirement.

Traders can withdraw any available profit in their funded account, regardless of the amount. This ensures that traders can access their earnings without unnecessary limitations.

However, withdrawal methods may have their own transaction fees or minimum limits, depending on the payment provider. Traders should check the details of their chosen withdrawal method before submitting a request.

Exness Funds does not have a traditional scaling plan, but traders can increase their funded capital in two ways:

  1. Reinvesting profits – Traders can keep growing their capital by compounding their earnings.
  2. Purchasing additional funded accounts – Traders can manage multiple accounts, increasing their overall capital allocation.


There is no forced scaling model—traders are in full control of their growth and can manage their capital based on their trading performance.

Yes, Exness Funds refunds your evaluation fee once you pass the challenge and receive your second payout.

  • The refund is added on top of your profit split, meaning you don’t have to deduct it from your earnings.
  • Refunds only apply to evaluation-based programs (1-Step, 2-Step, and 3-Step). Instant Funding accounts are not eligible for refunds.
  • The refund is processed automatically once you qualify, ensuring traders get their money back as part of their funded success.

 

No, once an evaluation is purchased, the account size cannot be changed or upgraded.

If a trader wants a larger account, they will need to:
Purchase a new evaluation for a bigger account size.
Continue with the current challenge and later buy a larger funded account.

This ensures fairness in the evaluation process while allowing traders to choose the account size that best fits their strategy.
