NEXUS TWO-STEP

Trading Rules

Version 1.0

1. Program Overview

Nexus Two-Step is a two-phase evaluation program designed to assess a Trader's ability to generate profits while maintaining disciplined risk management.

The Trader must successfully complete both Phase 1 and Phase 2 before becoming eligible for a funded account, subject to all applicable Nexus rules and verification requirements.

2. Account Parameters

3. Profit Target

The Trader must achieve a profit of:

• 8% in Phase 1;
• 5% in Phase 2.

The Profit Target is calculated based on the initial account balance of the relevant phase.

Profit generated through prohibited trading practices will not be considered valid performance.

Achieving the Profit Target does not automatically result in passing the phase if any other applicable requirement has not been satisfied.

4. Minimum Trading Days

The Trader must complete at least 5 Trading Days in Phase 1 and 5 Trading Days in Phase 2.

A Trading Day is a calendar day during which at least one position is opened.

The minimum trading day requirement must be satisfied separately for each phase.

5. Maximum Daily Drawdown

The maximum permitted daily drawdown is 5%.

The Daily Drawdown calculation includes:

• realized profit and loss;
• unrealized profit and loss;
• commissions;
• swaps.

The Daily Drawdown is calculated according to the applicable Nexus daily reset time.

If the account's equity reaches or falls below the applicable Daily Drawdown limit, the account will be considered breached.

6. Maximum Overall Drawdown

The maximum permitted overall drawdown is 10% of the initial account balance.

The Overall Drawdown is static unless otherwise stated on the applicable product page.

If the account's equity or balance reaches or falls below the applicable Overall Drawdown threshold, the account will be considered breached.

7. News Trading

News trading is permitted subject to the following restriction.

The Trader may not open or manually close a position on an instrument directly affected by a designated High-Impact US economic news event during the period beginning 15 minutes before and ending 15 minutes after the scheduled release.

Positions opened before the restricted period may remain open.

Stop Loss and Take Profit orders may remain active during the restricted period and may be triggered automatically.

An automatic execution of a pre-existing Stop Loss or Take Profit order during the restricted period does not, by itself, constitute a news trading violation.

The official economic calendar designated by Nexus shall be used to determine applicable High-Impact events and scheduled release times.

8. Prohibited Martingale Trading

Martingale trading is strictly prohibited.

For the purposes of these Rules, Martingale includes systematically increasing the position size or risk of subsequent trades after a losing trade or series of losing trades with the primary purpose of recovering previous losses.

A Trader may use variable position sizing for legitimate risk-management reasons, provided that the activity does not constitute a Martingale strategy.

9. Tick Scalping

Tick scalping is strictly prohibited.

Tick scalping refers to trading primarily based on individual or extremely small price-tick movements where the strategy depends on exploiting short-term quote changes, execution differences or market-data timing rather than legitimate market movement.

Normal scalping based on an identifiable trading strategy is not prohibited solely because trades are short-term.

10. Quick Strike Trading

Quick Strike trading is strictly prohibited.

Quick Strike refers to opening and closing trades over extremely short periods primarily for the purpose of exploiting execution speed, temporary price discrepancies, latency or similar technical conditions.

A short-duration trade is not automatically a violation. The relevant consideration is whether the trading activity is primarily designed to exploit execution or pricing conditions rather than legitimate market movement.

11. One-Sided Betting

One-sided betting is strictly prohibited.

One-sided betting refers to repeatedly placing excessive directional exposure on a single market outcome while relying on a small number of high-risk trades to achieve the Profit Target.

The use of a directional trading strategy does not, by itself, constitute one-sided betting.

Nexus may review the Trader's overall trading pattern where there are reasonable indications that the account is being operated primarily as a high-risk bet rather than through controlled trading.

12. Other Prohibited Strategies

The following practices are prohibited:

• latency arbitrage;
• price-feed exploitation;
• platform or server exploitation;
• cross-account arbitrage;
• coordinated cross-account trading;
• reverse arbitrage;
• group hedging;
• account sharing;
• third-party trading;
• unauthorized account management;
• deliberate circumvention of Nexus restrictions.

13. EAs and Automated Trading

Expert Advisors and automated trading systems are permitted provided that they do not:

• exploit latency;
• exploit pricing errors;
• exploit technical errors;
• engage in prohibited arbitrage;
• overload or abuse Nexus infrastructure;
• circumvent Nexus rules.

14. Copy Trading

Copy trading between accounts belonging to the same verified Trader may be permitted.

Copy trading between accounts belonging to different individuals is prohibited unless expressly authorized by Nexus .

15. Overnight and Weekend Trading

Overnight Trading

Overnight trading is permitted on Nexus Two-Step accounts.

Traders may keep positions open overnight, subject to all applicable risk parameters, market conditions and other Nexus Trading Rules.

Weekend Trading and Holding

Weekend trading and weekend holding are permitted on Nexus Two-Step accounts.

Traders may:

• hold existing positions over the weekend; and
• open new positions during the weekend on instruments that are available for trading.

Traders remain fully responsible for any market gaps, increased spreads, reduced liquidity, volatility, swaps or other risks associated with holding or trading positions over the weekend.

All Daily Drawdown and Overall Drawdown limits remain applicable.

16. Payout Eligibility

Payout requests may be submitted every 14 calendar days, starting from the activation date of the funded account, provided all applicable payout requirements have been satisfied.

All payouts remain subject to compliance with the applicable Nexus rules and verification requirements.

17. Rule Violations

Depending on the nature and severity of a violation, Nexus may:

• issue a warning;
• place an account under review;
• reject an affected payout;
• suspend an account;
• breach or terminate an account;
• terminate the Trader's participation in the Nexus program.

Material violations, including fraud, account sharing, third-party trading, arbitrage or deliberate exploitation of technical conditions, may result in immediate termination.

18. Final Provision

The Trader is responsible for understanding and complying with all applicable Nexus Trading Rules.

Where a specific product rule conflicts with a general rule, the specific product rule applicable to the selected Nexus program shall apply.

NEXUS ONE-STEP

Trading Rules

Version 1.0

1. Program Overview

Nexus One-Step is a single-phase evaluation program designed to assess a Trader's ability to achieve the required Profit Target while maintaining controlled and consistent risk.

2. Account Parameters

3. Profit Target

The Trader must achieve a profit of 10% of the initial account balance.

Profit generated through prohibited trading practices will not be considered valid performance.

4. Minimum Trading Days

The Trader must complete at least 2 Trading Days.

A Trading Day is a calendar day during which at least one position is opened.

5. Maximum Daily Drawdown

The maximum permitted Daily Drawdown is 3%.

The calculation includes:

• realized profit and loss;
• unrealized profit and loss;
• commissions;
• swaps.

If account equity reaches or falls below the applicable 3% Daily Drawdown threshold, the account will be considered breached.

6. Maximum Overall Drawdown

The maximum permitted Overall Drawdown is 6% of the initial account balance.

The Overall Drawdown is static unless otherwise stated on the applicable product page.

If account equity or balance reaches or falls below the applicable Overall Drawdown threshold, the account will be considered breached.

7. Consistency Rule

Nexus One-Step operates with a 30% Consistency Rule.

The Trader's largest profitable Trading Day may not represent more than 30% of the Trader's total accumulated profit when evaluated for passing the challenge or for any applicable payout requirement.

If the Trader's largest profitable day exceeds 30% of total accumulated profit, the Trader is not considered in violation solely for this reason. Instead, the Trader must generate additional qualifying profit on other Trading Days until the largest profitable day represents no more than 30% of total accumulated profit.

Example:

If the Trader's largest profitable day is $3,000, the Trader must have at least $10,000 in total accumulated profit for that day to represent 30% or less of total profit.

8. News Trading

News trading is permitted subject to the following restriction.

The Trader may not open or manually close a position on an instrument directly affected by a designated High-Impact US economic news event during the period beginning 15 minutes before and ending 15 minutes after the scheduled release.

Positions opened before the restricted period may remain open.

Pre-existing Stop Loss and Take Profit orders may remain active and may be triggered automatically during the restricted period.

Automatic execution of a pre-existing Stop Loss or Take Profit order does not, by itself, constitute a news trading violation.

The official economic calendar designated by Nexus shall determine applicable High-Impact events and scheduled release times.

9. Mandatory Stop Loss

Every position must have a valid Stop Loss attached at the time the position is opened.

The Stop Loss must remain active while the position is open.

Removing or disabling the Stop Loss after opening the position is prohibited.

10. Mandatory Take Profit

Every position must have a valid Take Profit attached at the time the position is opened.

The Take Profit must remain active while the position is open.

Removing or disabling the Take Profit after opening the position is prohibited.

11. Prohibited Martingale Trading

Martingale trading is strictly prohibited.

Systematically increasing position size or risk following losses for the primary purpose of recovering previous losses constitutes Martingale trading.

Variable position sizing based on legitimate risk-management considerations is permitted.

12. Tick Scalping

Tick scalping is strictly prohibited.

Tick scalping means trading primarily around individual or extremely small price-tick movements where the strategy depends on execution timing, quote changes or technical discrepancies rather than legitimate market movement.

Normal short-term scalping is not prohibited solely because trades have a short duration.

13. Quick Strike Trading

Quick Strike trading is strictly prohibited.

Quick Strike refers to extremely short-duration trading primarily designed to exploit execution speed, latency, temporary pricing discrepancies or similar technical conditions.

A trade being closed quickly does not automatically constitute Quick Strike. Nexus evaluates the purpose and pattern of the trading activity.

14. One-Sided Betting

One-sided betting is strictly prohibited.

This includes repeatedly taking excessive directional exposure with the primary objective of achieving the Profit Target through a small number of high-risk outcomes.

Normal directional trading is permitted where appropriate risk management is maintained.

• price-feed exploitation;

Copy trading between accounts belonging to the same verified Trader may be permitted.

Copy trading between accounts belonging to different individuals is prohibited unless expressly authorized by Nexus.

Overnight Trading

Overnight trading is permitted on Nexus One-Step accounts.

Traders may keep positions open overnight, provided that all applicable risk parameters and Nexus Trading Rules continue to be respected.

Weekend Holding

Holding existing positions over the weekend is permitted on Nexus One-Step accounts.

However, Traders may not open new positions during the weekend.

Positions opened before the applicable market closes may remain open throughout the weekend and may be managed once the relevant market reopens.

Traders remain fully responsible for market gaps, increased spreads, reduced liquidity, volatility, swaps and any resulting impact on the account's Daily or Overall Drawdown limits.

19. Payout Eligibility

Payout requests may be submitted every 14 calendar days, starting from the activation date of the funded account, provided all applicable payout requirements have been satisfied.

NEXUS INSTANT

Trading Rules

Version 1.0

1. Program Overview

Nexus Instant provides Traders with access to a funded trading account without completing a traditional multi-phase evaluation.

The Trader is subject to the risk parameters and trading restrictions specified below from the moment the account is activated.

2. Account Parameters

3. Maximum Daily Drawdown

The maximum permitted Daily Drawdown is 2%.

The calculation includes:

• realized profit and loss;
• unrealized profit and loss;
• commissions;
• swaps.

If account equity reaches or falls below the applicable 2% Daily Drawdown threshold, the account will be considered breached.

4. Maximum Overall Drawdown

The maximum permitted Overall Drawdown is 6% of the initial account balance.

The Overall Drawdown is static unless otherwise stated on the applicable product page.

If account equity or balance reaches or falls below the applicable Overall Drawdown threshold, the account will be considered breached.

5. Consistency Rule

Nexus Instant operates with a 15% Consistency Rule.

The Trader's largest profitable Trading Day may not represent more than 15% of the Trader's total accumulated profit when evaluated for payout eligibility.

If the largest profitable day exceeds 15% of total accumulated profit, the Trader is not considered in breach solely for this reason.

Instead, the Trader must generate additional qualifying profit on other Trading Days until the largest profitable day represents no more than 15% of total accumulated profit.

Example:

If the Trader's largest profitable day is $1,500, the Trader must have at least $10,000 in total accumulated profit for that day to represent 15% or less of total profit.

6. News Trading

News trading is prohibited on Nexus Instant accounts.

The Trader may not open or manually close positions during periods surrounding any designated High-Impact economic news event, regardless of whether the event relates to the United States or another country.

For the purposes of this rule, a restricted news period begins 15 minutes before and ends 15 minutes after the scheduled release of a designated High-Impact economic event.

Positions opened before the restricted period may remain open unless otherwise stated.

Pre-existing Stop Loss and Take Profit orders may remain active and may be triggered automatically during the restricted period.

The automatic execution of a pre-existing Stop Loss or Take Profit order does not, by itself, constitute a news trading violation.

The official economic calendar designated by Nexus shall determine which events are classified as High Impact.

7. Mandatory Stop Loss

Every position must have a valid Stop Loss attached at the time the position is opened.

The Stop Loss must remain active while the position is open.

Removing, disabling or deliberately placing a Stop Loss at an unreasonable distance for the primary purpose of circumventing this requirement is prohibited.

8. Mandatory Take Profit

Every position must have a valid Take Profit attached at the time the position is opened.

The Take Profit must remain active while the position is open.

Removing or disabling the Take Profit after opening the position is prohibited.

9. Layering

Layering is strictly prohibited on Nexus Instant accounts.

For the purposes of these Rules, layering refers to placing multiple pending or market orders around a price level or across a narrow price range in a coordinated manner, particularly where the strategy is designed to exploit short-term price movement, execution behaviour or market microstructure rather than represent independent trading decisions.

Normal scaling into a position may be permitted where each entry represents a legitimate trading decision and does not constitute prohibited layering or another prohibited strategy.

10. Martingale Trading

Martingale trading is strictly prohibited.

A Trader may not systematically increase position size or risk following losing trades for the primary purpose of recovering previous losses.

Variable position sizing based on legitimate risk-management considerations is permitted.

11. Tick Scalping

Tick scalping is strictly prohibited.

Tick scalping refers to trading primarily around individual or extremely small price-tick movements where the strategy depends on quote timing, execution speed, latency or temporary pricing discrepancies.

Legitimate short-term trading is not prohibited solely because it is short-term.

12. Quick Strike Trading

Quick Strike trading is strictly prohibited.

Quick Strike refers to extremely short-duration trading primarily designed to exploit execution speed, latency, temporary pricing discrepancies or similar technical conditions.

The duration of an individual trade alone does not automatically determine whether a violation has occurred. Nexus may evaluate the purpose, execution pattern and overall trading behaviour.

13. One-Sided Betting

One-sided betting is strictly prohibited.

This includes repeatedly taking excessive directional exposure with the primary objective of achieving unusually large profits through a small number of high-risk outcomes.

Normal directional trading is permitted where it represents legitimate trading activity and remains within all applicable risk parameters.

14. Other Prohibited Strategies

The following activities are prohibited:

• latency arbitrage;
• price-feed exploitation;
• platform or server exploitation;
• cross-account arbitrage;
• coordinated cross-account trading;
• reverse arbitrage;
• group hedging;
• account sharing;
• third-party trading;
• unauthorized account management;
• deliberate circumvention of Nexus restrictions.

15. EAs and Automated Trading

EAs and automated trading systems are permitted subject to these Rules.

Automated systems may not be used to:

• exploit latency;
• exploit pricing errors;
• exploit technical errors;
• engage in prohibited arbitrage;
• perform prohibited layering;
• overload or abuse Nexus infrastructure;
• circumvent account restrictions.

16. Copy Trading

Copy trading between accounts belonging to the same verified Trader may be permitted.

Copy trading between accounts belonging to different individuals is prohibited unless expressly authorized by Nexus.

17. Overnight and Weekend Trading

Overnight Trading

Overnight trading is permitted on Nexus Instant accounts.

Traders may keep positions open overnight during normal trading days, subject to all applicable Nexus Instant risk parameters and Trading Rules.

Weekend Holding

Holding positions over the weekend is prohibited on Nexus Instant accounts.

All open positions must be closed before the applicable instrument's market closes for the weekend.

Traders are responsible for monitoring market closing times and ensuring that no positions remain open over the weekend.

Failure to close an open position before the applicable weekend market closure may constitute a violation of the Nexus Instant Trading Rules and may result in enforcement action in accordance with the Nexus Rule Violations and Enforcement Policy.

18. Payout Eligibility

Payout requests may be submitted every 14 calendar days, starting from the activation date of the funded account, provided all applicable payout requirements have been satisfied.

All payouts remain subject to compliance with the applicable Nexus rules and verification requirements.

Payouts remain subject to the 15% Consistency Rule, account risk parameters, verification and all applicable Nexus Trading Rules.

19. Rule Violations

Depending on the nature and severity of the violation, Nexus may:

• issue a warning;
• place the account under review;
• reject an affected payout;

• breach or terminate an account;
• terminate the Trader's participation in the Nexus program.

Material violations, including prohibited news trading, account sharing, third-party trading, arbitrage, layering or deliberate exploitation of technical conditions, may result in immediate account termination.
