Futures Lite is Veridium Trading’s streamlined, subscription-based futures assessment for traders seeking a direct route to a Funded account.

Instead of completing multiple evaluation stages, traders complete one Assessment. To pass, you must reach the required profit target within the permitted trading period, remain above the Maximum Trailing Loss level, and satisfy the 33.33% Consistency Requirement.

There is no Daily Loss Limit and no minimum number of trading days. However, because no single trading day may contribute more than 33.33% of your total profit, passing will normally require at least three profitable trading days.

Once you pass the Assessment, complete Know Your Customer verification and sign the Trader Agreement, you may receive a Funded account. Eligible Funded account profits are subject to the same 33.33% Consistency Requirement, the applicable non-withdrawable profit buffer, payout review, and an 80% trader profit split.

This guide explains the complete Futures Lite rules, including the Assessment objectives, Maximum Trailing Loss, consistency calculation, payouts, contract limits, permitted products, trading hours and prohibited trading practices.

1. How to Pass the Futures Lite Assessment

Your Assessment begins after you purchase and receive access to your account.

To pass, you must satisfy all three of the following requirements within 30 days:

Reach the applicable profit target

The profit target is 6% of the starting account balance.

Assessment profits are used only to determine whether you have passed. They cannot be withdrawn.

Remain above the Maximum Trailing Loss

Your account equity must remain above its current breach level at all times. Futures Lite uses an intraday equity high-water mark, which is explained in detail below.

Meet the 33.33% Consistency Requirement

Your largest profitable trading day must represent no more than 33.33% of your total accumulated profit.

Meeting the profit target alone is not enough. Your consistency ratio must also be 33.33% or lower before you are eligible to pass.

After meeting the Assessment requirements, you will be required to complete KYC verification and sign the Trader Agreement. Subject to approval and trading review, your Funded account will then be generated.

2. Is There a Minimum Number of Trading Days?

No. Futures Lite does not impose a listed minimum number of trading days.

However, the 33.33% Consistency Requirement means that a trader cannot pass using one or two profitable trading days if the entire profit target was generated during those days.

In practical terms, the fastest possible route would normally require at least three profitable trading days, with the largest day contributing no more than one-third of the total profit.

There is no requirement to rush. Traders should use position sizes and trading frequencies that are appropriate for their strategies and account limits.

3. The 33.33% Consistency Requirement

The Consistency Requirement is designed to discourage traders from reaching the profit target or payout threshold through one unusually large trading day.

It applies during:

• The Assessment phase, before you can pass
• The Funded phase, before you can request a payout

The calculation is:

Consistency Ratio = Best Trading Day Profit ÷ Total Profit × 100

To qualify, the result must be 33.33% or lower.

Example: Consistency Requirement met

Assume a trader has a $100,000 Assessment account with a $6,000 profit target.

The trader earns:

• Day 1: $2,000
• Day 2: $2,000
• Day 3: $2,000

The largest profitable day is $2,000 and the total profit is $6,000.

$2,000 ÷ $6,000 = 33.33%

The Consistency Requirement is met.

Example: Consistency Requirement not yet met

Assume the trader instead earns:

• Day 1: $3,000
• Day 2: $1,000
• Day 3: $1,000
• Day 4: $1,000

Total profit is still $6,000, but the largest profitable day is $3,000.

$3,000 ÷ $6,000 = 50%

The trader has reached the $6,000 profit target, but has not yet met the Consistency Requirement.

The account is not breached solely because the ratio is too high. The trader may continue trading to increase total profit and lower the ratio.

For example, if the largest profitable day remains $3,000, total profit would need to reach approximately $9,000 for that day to represent no more than 33.33% of total profit.

Does failing the consistency test breach the account?

No. The Consistency Requirement is not, by itself, a breach rule.

A ratio above 33.33% prevents you from passing the Assessment or requesting a Funded account payout, but it does not automatically close the account. You may continue trading, provided the account remains active and no other rule has been breached.

4. Maximum Trailing Loss

Futures Lite does not have a separate Daily Loss Limit. Its principal loss restriction is the Maximum Trailing Loss.

The Maximum Trailing Loss is calculated from the highest account equity reached intraday. It is therefore based on the account’s intraday equity high-water mark, not only on the end-of-day balance or closed trade results.

When your account reaches a new intraday equity high, the breach level moves upward by the same amount.

Once the trailing breach level reaches the account’s original starting balance, it locks at that starting balance and does not continue moving higher.

Maximum Trailing Loss by account size*

*Subject to the platform’s displayed calculation and rounding.

Example: The breach level moves with intraday equity

Consider a $100,000 account with a $3,000 Maximum Trailing Loss.

At the beginning, the breach level is:

$100,000 − $3,000 = $97,000

If the account reaches an intraday equity high of $101,200, the breach level rises to:

$101,200 − $3,000 = $98,200

This remains the breach level even if the account later gives back some of the unrealised gain or finishes the day below $101,200.

Example: The trailing loss locks at starting balance

If the same account reaches an intraday equity high of $103,000, the calculated breach level becomes:

$103,000 − $3,000 = $100,000

The trailing level has now reached the original account balance and locks at $100,000.

If account equity later increases to $104,500, the breach level does not rise to $101,500. It remains locked at $100,000.

Monitoring your breach level

Your trader dashboard displays your account metrics and is updated in near real time. It remains your responsibility to monitor your equity, open trades and current breach level.

Because the calculation uses intraday equity, unrealised gains can raise the breach level before those gains are realised. Traders should take this into account when managing open positions.

5. Daily Loss Limit

There is no separate Daily Loss Limit under Futures Lite.

This does not mean that losses during a trading day are unrestricted. Your account must remain above its current Maximum Trailing Loss breach level at all times.

A sufficiently large intraday loss can therefore breach the account even though there is no fixed daily loss amount.

6. Assessment Trading Period

You have a maximum of 30 days to satisfy all Assessment requirements.

Within this period, you must:

• Reach the applicable profit target
• Remain above the Maximum Trailing Loss
• Bring the consistency ratio to 33.33% or lower
• Comply with all position, product and trading-conduct rules

If the Assessment requirements are not completed within 30 days, the account will be considered breached.

The subscription billing cycle and the 30-day Assessment period should not be assumed to be separate extensions of one another. Traders should refer to the dates shown in their account dashboard.

7. Monthly Subscription

Futures Lite is offered as a monthly subscription.

Billing begins on the original purchase date and renews monthly while the account remains active and has not been breached. The subscription continues during both the Assessment and Funded phases.

The subscription may end when:

• The account is breached
• The customer manually cancels the subscription

Manually cancelling the subscription will also cause the associated account to be breached.

There are no refunds for partially used subscription months.

Pricing may vary by platform or commercial offer. The applicable price displayed during checkout is the price that applies to the purchase.

Market data fees are included in the purchase price.

8. Funded Account Payouts

Assessment profits cannot be withdrawn.

Payout eligibility begins only after you receive a Funded account and generate eligible profit in that Funded account.

A payout request is subject to:

• The 33.33% Funded account Consistency Requirement
• The applicable non-withdrawable profit buffer
• The account and subscription remaining active
• The account not having been breached
• Payout and trading-activity review
• The 80% trader profit split
• Compliance with all programme terms and trading rules

There is no listed initial withdrawal delay or subsequent withdrawal delay for this plan. However, this does not mean that every profit becomes immediately payable. All payout conditions must be met when the request is reviewed.

Withdrawals are not permitted from breached accounts.

Profit split

The trader receives 80% of eligible withdrawable profit.

The remaining 20% is retained under the programme’s profit-sharing arrangement.

The 80% split is applied only after the non-withdrawable buffer has been excluded.

9. The Non-Withdrawable Profit Buffer

The profit buffer applies to the Funded account.

It is the minimum amount of profit that must remain in the account and cannot be withdrawn. It is not a fee and is not deducted from your balance. It remains in the account to preserve a cushion above the locked Maximum Trailing Loss level.

Only profit above the required buffer may be considered for withdrawal.

Profit buffer by account size

Example: $100,000 Funded account

The required buffer is $3,000.

Equity of $103,000

The account has reached the required buffer, but there is no profit above it.

Potentially withdrawable amount: $0

Equity of $104,000

There is $1,000 above the buffer.

Potentially withdrawable before the split: $1,000

After applying the 80% trader split:

Potential trader payout: $800

Equity of $106,000

There is $3,000 above the buffer.

Potentially withdrawable before the split: $3,000

After applying the 80% trader split:

Potential trader payout: $2,400

These examples assume that the Funded consistency standard and all other payout requirements have also been satisfied.

10. Contract and Position Limits

Each Futures Lite account has a maximum contract limit based on its starting account size.

The limits use a 1:10 standard-to-micro ratio:

One standard E-mini contract is treated as equivalent to ten Micro contracts.

The limit applies to total open exposure across all products, not separately to each market.

For example, a $50,000 account may hold up to:

• 3 standard contracts
• 30 Micro contracts
• A permitted combination of standard and Micro contracts using the 1:10 conversion ratio

Once maximum exposure has been reached, you cannot open additional positions until existing exposure is reduced.

Traders are responsible for ensuring that combined exposure across all open instruments remains within the applicable limit.

11. Trading Hours and Overnight Positions

On normal, non-holiday trading days, Futures Lite trading is available from the 17:00 CST CME Globex open until 15:55 CST.

Open positions must be closed and pending orders must be cancelled by 15:55 CST each weekday.

Positions may be held overnight within the permitted daily trading session, but they cannot be carried through the daily 15:55 CST cut-off or over the weekend.

On regular trading days, the system may close remaining positions and cancel open orders at approximately 15:55 CST. Traders should not rely solely on automatic liquidation and remain responsible for managing their own positions and orders.

Weekend holding

Weekend holding is not permitted.

All positions must be closed and all open orders cancelled before the applicable Friday cut-off.

Holiday and shortened trading sessions

Trading schedules may differ around exchange holidays and shortened trading weeks.

During holiday sessions, automatic liquidation may not occur at the shortened market close. Traders are responsible for checking the applicable exchange schedule and closing positions before the market closes.

Failure to close a position on time may result in an account breach.

All stated times should be checked against the platform and current exchange schedule, particularly during daylight-saving changes and holidays.

12. Inactivity Rule

The inactivity limit is 30 days during both the Assessment and Funded phases.

You must place at least one executed trade within every 30-day period to keep the account active.

The inactivity timer cannot be paused.

If the inactivity limit is exceeded, the account may be breached.

Submitting or cancelling an order without an execution does not constitute an executed trade.

13. Account Resets

Futures Lite accounts cannot be reset after a breach.

If your account is breached for any reason, you must purchase a new account to begin another Assessment.

This makes it particularly important to monitor:

• Current account equity
• The Maximum Trailing Loss level
• Contract exposure
• Trading deadlines
• Inactivity
• Subscription status
• Product and conduct restrictions

14. Supported Platform

Futures Lite accounts are available on DXFutures only.

DXFutures may be accessed through:

• A supported web browser
• The DXFutures-supported Apple iOS application

Third-party futures platforms are not supported for these accounts.

Account progress, trading metrics and breach levels can be monitored through the trader dashboard. Metrics are updated in near real time, but traders remain responsible for monitoring their own accounts.

15. CME Market Data Attestation

DXFutures users must complete the applicable market-data agreement and confirm that they qualify as a CME Non-Professional subscriber.

As part of the attestation process, users may be asked to provide information such as their job title and employer.

Futures Lite cannot support CME Professional data-subscriber status. Users must qualify as Non-Professional under the applicable CME rules.

Market data fees are included in the Futures Lite purchase.

16. Markets and Products Available

Futures Lite allows trading in approved futures products listed on:

• CME
• CBOT
• COMEX
• NYMEX

Supported categories include:

• Equity index futures
• Currency futures
• Energy futures
• Metals futures
• Agricultural futures
• Micro cryptocurrency futures

Equity index future

Currency futures

Energy futures

Metals futures

Agricultural futures

Micro cryptocurrency futures

The available product list, symbols and specifications may be amended. Traders should verify product availability inside the platform before submitting an order.

17. Front-Month Contract Requirement

Traders must use the active front-month contract for each permitted futures product.

The front-month contract normally has the highest liquidity and open interest. Trading deferred or out-month contracts is prohibited and may result in the loss of the account.

For example, when the March ES contract is the active front-month contract, a trader must use that contract rather than a later July or September contract.

Contract months change throughout the year. Traders are responsible for identifying the active contract and rolling to the appropriate new front-month contract when required.

Do not assume that a platform symbol automatically selects the permitted contract. Check the contract month before placing the trade.

18. Commissions and Trading Costs

Assessment and Funded Futures accounts are charged the applicable pricing and commissions provided by the liquidity provider or exchange.

The supplied per-side commission schedule is:

Commissions are stated per side. A completed round-trip trade normally incurs a charge on both entry and exit.

Applicable fees and commissions may change. The amount shown by the platform at the time of trading should be treated as the operative amount.

19. News Trading

Trading during scheduled news events is not prohibited under the Futures Lite rules.

However, economic releases can create:

• Rapid price movements
• Wider bid-offer spreads
• Reduced market liquidity
• Increased slippage
• Sudden changes in account equity
• A higher risk of breaching the Maximum Trailing Loss

Traders are responsible for monitoring the economic calendar and managing positions appropriately.

The absence of a news-trading prohibition does not override the programme’s risk-management, position-limit or prohibited-trading rules.

20. Automated Trading Strategies

Automated strategies may be used, subject to all Futures Lite rules and the policy on prohibited trading.

Permission to use automation does not permit:

• Strategies designed to exploit platform or pricing errors
• Latency arbitrage
• Challenge-passing services or commercially marketed pass strategies
• Cross-account arbitrage
• Excessive-risk or gambling-style activity
• Any strategy that violates exchange, platform, liquidity-provider or programme rules

The account holder remains responsible for all orders and trades placed by an automated system.

21. Prohibited Trading Activity

Traders may not use any strategy prohibited by Veridium, the programme provider, the liquidity provider or the relevant exchange.

Prohibited practices include, but are not limited to:

Exploiting platform or pricing errors

You may not knowingly exploit stale prices, delayed feeds, technical errors, platform malfunctions or latency in the pricing or execution environment.

Use of non-public information

Trading using material non-public or insider information is prohibited.

Front-running

You may not trade ahead of orders placed elsewhere or use account activity to front-run another person, account or venue.

Cross-account arbitrage

You may not attempt to arbitrage a Funded account against another account held with the programme, another provider or any third party.

Third-party challenge-passing strategies

You may not use third-party or off-the-shelf strategies marketed specifically as a way to pass challenge or assessment accounts.

Activity that harms provider or exchange relationships

Trading that creates regulatory concerns, causes trades to be cancelled, or jeopardises relationships with exchanges, liquidity providers or trading platforms is prohibited.

Gambling-style trading

Traders are expected to follow responsible risk-management practices.

Taking excessive risk—such as using maximum exposure in an attempt to reach the profit target through a single price movement—may be considered prohibited gambling activity.

Position size, trade duration, concentration and hedging activity may all be considered when reviewing whether trading reflects a legitimate strategy.

CME compliance

All activity must comply with applicable CME Group rules and regulations.

Where prohibited trading is detected, the account may be terminated. Consequences may include:

• Account closure
• Failure to receive a Funded account
• Rejection of a payout
• Forfeiture of applicable fees or profits, subject to the governing terms

Trading activity may be reviewed before a Funded account is issued and when a payout is requested.

22. KYC and the Trader Agreement

You do not need to complete KYC before beginning the Assessment.

After passing, and before receiving a Funded account, you must:

• Complete Know Your Customer verification
• Provide the requested identification and information
• Sign the Trader Agreement
• Pass any applicable trading-activity review

If you do not pass KYC, the account will be closed and a Funded account will not be issued.

23. Countries and Eligibility

Subject to applicable laws, regulations and company discretion, traders from most countries may participate.

Residents or persons connected to OFAC-listed or otherwise restricted jurisdictions are not eligible.

Additional country restrictions may be imposed where required for legal, regulatory, platform or payment-processing reasons.

Traders must be at least 18 years old, or meet the higher minimum legal age applicable in their country.

24. Pricing and Execution

During simulated phases, trades use pricing and liquidity supplied through the trading platform and are intended to closely replicate real-market conditions.

Where a trader is moved to an applicable live Funded environment, pricing and execution are sourced from the relevant exchange or exchanges.

The programme does not state that it modifies exchange or liquidity-provider pricing by artificially widening spreads or adding undisclosed markups, markdowns, swaps or commission charges.

Nevertheless, normal market effects—including slippage, volatility, reduced liquidity and exchange fees—may affect execution.

25. Taxes

Funded traders are treated as independent contractors for programme purposes.

Each trader is responsible for determining, reporting and paying any taxes applicable to their payouts or trading-related income.

Tax rules differ by country and personal circumstances. Veridium Trading does not provide individual tax advice.

26. Charges on Your Statement

Programme charges may appear on card or payment statements under the name:

Dashboardanalytix.com

Traders should keep their transaction confirmation and purchase records for reference.

27. Affiliates and Referral Credit

Where an affiliate programme applies, referrals are credited when a customer creates an account through the affiliate’s eligible referral link or discount code.

Affiliate eligibility, attribution and payment remain subject to the applicable affiliate terms.
