Profit target
How much profit the evaluation account needs to pass, when the pass happens and why the target can rise.
Your plan's values
The profit target is how much the evaluation account needs to make to pass. On EXL Flex 50K, the target is US$ 3,000: the balance needs to reach US$ 53,000.

Why it exists
Respecting the limits shows that you protect capital. The target shows the other side: that your method makes real profit at the account's size. Together, they are what a funded account needs.
How it works
- What counts is net profit: the result of closed trades, after commissions.
- The target alone doesn't pass you. You also need to meet the minimum days (3 days traded) and consistency (40%).
- The pass only happens after the session closes, with the day's result final. Hitting the target during the session doesn't pass you right away.
- If your best day goes over the consistency limit, the target rises, and the dashboard shows the new target.
Example
On the 50K: you start with US$ 50,000. Closed a session with the balance at US$ 53,000 or more? The US$ 3,000 target is met. If the other rules are also met, the review starts on its own.
Hit the target: now what?
You don't need to ask for anything. After the session closes, EXL checks the account and replies within 1 business day. Once you pass, you get a new funded account of the same size, and the evaluation account is closed.
What about Direct?
Direct has no evaluation and no pass target. It has a payout target for each payout cycle, explained in How EXL Direct works.
