Exclusive Markets

What is Exclusive Markets?

Exclusive Markets is a proprietary trading firm that lets traders prove their skills on a simulated challenge and then trade a funded account, keeping an 80% profit split. Founded in 2018, it offers flexible evaluation paths across a wide range of assets, with on-demand payouts and challenges starting from just $79.

If you want an established firm with multiple asset classes and a low-cost entry, Exclusive Markets is worth a look.

How Exclusive Markets works

Exclusive Markets offers two evaluation styles so you can pick what suits your trading:

• Elite (1-Step) — a single-phase challenge with a 10% profit target and a 7% max drawdown.
• Pro (2-Step) — a two-phase evaluation (7% target in Phase 1, 5% in Phase 2) with a 9% max drawdown.

All trading is done on MetaTrader 5 (MT5), with account sizes ranging from $10,000 up to $200,000.

Who is Exclusive Markets best for?

Exclusive Markets is a strong fit if you:

• Want an established firm — it has been operating since 2018

• Like flexible payouts — withdraw on-demand every 14 days
• Want a low-cost entry from just $79
• Use EAs (non-arbitrage strategies are allowed)

Things to keep in mind

Exclusive Markets only supports MetaTrader 5, so if you rely on cTrader or TradeLocker it won't suit you. News trading is restricted around high-impact events (4 minutes before and after), so scalpers who trade the news should factor that in. It also restricts a number of countries, including the USA — check the eligibility list before buying a challenge.

Is Exclusive Markets legit?

Exclusive Markets is an established proprietary trading firm founded in 2018 and based in Seychelles, offering simulated-account challenges with clearly published rules — defined drawdown limits, an 80% split, and an on-demand payout process. As with any prop firm, we recommend starting with a smaller account, completing a full payout cycle, and reading the firm's rules in full before scaling up.
