Axi Select is a capital allocation programme offered by the broker Axi. It is not a paid challenge: the firm says there is no challenge and no upfront fee. Instead, the trader opens a live Axi account, funds it with their own money and trades it on MT4 or MT5. Axi says that, based on performance, it then adds its own capital on top of the trader's funds, up to $1 million at the top stage.
Progress runs through six stages: Seed, Incubation, Acceleration, Pro, Pro 500 and Pro M. Each stage has a minimum equity, a minimum Edge Score and a profit share, which rises from 0% at Seed to 80% at Pro M. Axi describes the stage conditions, capital allocations and profit share percentages as indicative and subject to change. Everything in this review comes from Axi's own website and help centre as saved on 7–8 October 2026; the help centre pages we saved list Axi Select questions but not their answers, so some topics are left open below.
Everything in this review comes from Axi Select's own web pages, saved on 7–8 October 2026. Rules and prices change, so check the firm's site before you buy.
Axi says Axi Select is free to join, with no sign-up or membership fees. The page also says there are no monthly fees. An existing Axi account qualifies automatically.
The firm sets out three steps: open a live Axi trading account, fund it and trade on MT4 or MT5, then reach an Edge Score of 50 with a minimum $500 balance to enter the Seed stage. Every trade on the account contributes to the Edge Score.
This means the money at risk in the trader's own account is real: the page carries Axi's warning that over-the-counter derivatives carry a high risk of losing substantially more than your initial investment rapidly due to leverage. The stage table refers separately to an 'Allocation Account', and the help centre has articles on how Allocation Account funds are calculated and on trades being copied to it. We did not capture the answers to those articles, so we cannot describe how the Allocation Account works in detail.
Axi publishes one table covering all six stages; the figures below are copied from its international page. The firm says each stage unlocks more Axi capital and a higher profit share. The 'maximum funding' figures are Axi's contribution on top of the trader's own funds, according to the page.
| Stage | Seed | Incubation | Acceleration | Pro | Pro 500 | Pro M |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum equity | $500 | $1,000 | $2,000 | $5,000 | $10,000 | $20,000 |
| Edge Score | 50 | 60 | 70 | 90 | 90 | 90 |
| Max funding multiplier | x10 | x10 | x25 | x40 | x50 | x50 |
| Maximum funding | $5,000 | $20,000 | $100,000 | $200,000 | $500,000 | $1,000,000 |
| Your profit share | 0% | 40% | 50% | 60% | 70% | 80% |
| Profit target (Allocation Account) | 7% | 7% | 7% | 7% | 7% | – |
| Stage duration (min days) | 30 | 60 | 60 | 60 | 60 | – |
| Trades per stage | 20 | 40 | 50 | 50 | 50 | – |
| Leverage | Up to 1000:1 | 100:1 | 100:1 | 100:1 | 100:1 | 100:1 |
| Maximum loss | -7% | -7% | -7% | -7% | -7% | -10% |
Axi states that these conditions, allocations and profit shares are indicative and subject to change. Axi's Traditional Chinese page shows leverage of 100:1 for every stage, including Seed, while the international English page shows up to 1000:1 for Seed; we have used the English page. The help centre also refers to a 'Pre-Seed stage', which does not appear in the stage table; we did not capture its description.
Entry to each stage depends on the Edge Score: 50 for Seed, 60 for Incubation, 70 for Acceleration and 90 for Pro, Pro 500 and Pro M. Axi says the Edge Score is a weighted average of three components, Skill, Risk and Consistency, multiplied by a discount factor that depends on Experience.
Axi does not publish the weights on the pages we saved. The main page lists the question 'What happens if my Edge Score drops?' in its FAQ, but the answer was not in our saved copy.
Profit target. Seed, Incubation, Acceleration, Pro and Pro 500 each show a 7% profit target, measured on the Allocation Account; Pro M shows none.
Maximum loss. The table shows a maximum loss of 7% for Seed to Pro 500 and 10% for Pro M. The table does not say whether this loss is measured from a static or a trailing level, and it lists no separate daily loss figure. The help centre has a 'Quarantine & Drawdown' section, including 'What is Axi Select Quarantine?' and 'Will a withdrawal put my account into Quarantine?', but we did not capture the answers.
Stage duration and trades. Seed has a minimum stage duration of 30 days and a trades-per-stage figure of 20; Incubation 60 days and 40 trades per stage; Acceleration, Pro and Pro 500 60 days and 50 trades per stage each. The same page also says progress has no time pressure and no fixed target window. We read this as no deadline, but each stage still has a minimum duration.
Leverage. The international page shows up to 1000:1 on Seed and 100:1 on every later stage. The help centre has articles titled 'Why can't I increase my Axi Select leverage above 100:1?' and 'Why did the leverage on my Axi Select account change automatically?'.
Axi says Axi Select capital allocations are subject to programme terms and conditions. We did not have those programme terms in our saved pages, so we cannot say whether news trading, weekend holding, expert advisors, hedging or copy trading are allowed or restricted within Axi Select.
The help centre does have articles titled 'Why was I removed from the Axi Select program?' and 'Why did I receive a warning about my trading activity in the Axi Select program?'. We did not capture the answers, so check them before joining.
The profit share is 0% at Seed, 40% at Incubation, 50% at Acceleration, 60% at Pro, 70% at Pro 500 and 80% at Pro M. So the Seed stage pays no profit share; the first share appears at Incubation.
Axi says payouts are automatic and processed on the 1st of every month, 'no exceptions'. One help centre article title refers to 'Axi Select Performance Fee payouts'. The help centre also has articles on withdrawing from an Axi Select account, including withdrawing profit 'with a custom payout percentage', but we did not capture the answers.
Scaling in Axi Select is the stage ladder itself: maximum Axi funding rises from $5,000 at Seed to $1,000,000 at Pro M. Axi's page also states marketing figures: a largest single payout of '$200K+', '$14M+' total paid out to traders and '$600M+' total funds allocated. These are the firm's own claims; we have not verified them.
Axi Select is traded through an Axi MT4 or MT5 account. Axi's trading platforms page says you can manage Axi Select, Standard and Pro accounts from one platform. The help centre has articles on switching an Axi Select account from MT4 to MT5 and on holding both.
Which instruments can be traded within the programme is an FAQ on the Axi Select page, but its answer was not in our saved copy, so we cannot list them.
The footer of Axi's international site says Axi is a trading name of AxiTrader LLC, incorporated in St Vincent and the Grenadines and 'registered by the Financial Services Authority', with an address at Euro House, Richmond Hill Road, Kingstown. The Axi Select page says it is promoted by AxiTrader LLC. The footer also says AxiTrader LLC is a member of The Financial Commission, which it describes as an international organisation engaged in resolving disputes in the Forex market.
The site states that its information is not intended for Australian and New Zealand residents. The help centre lists an article 'Do you offer Axi Select for clients in my country?', but we did not capture the answer, so we cannot give a full list of eligible countries. The site also says AxiTrader is not a financial adviser and provides all services on an execution-only basis.
Axi Select may suit a trader who already trades, or is willing to trade, a funded live Axi account on MT4 or MT5 and wants to avoid paying a challenge fee. It needs patience: the Seed stage pays no profit share, and each stage from Seed to Pro 500 has a minimum duration of 30 or 60 days and a set number of trades per stage. It is less suited to anyone who wants to avoid putting their own money at risk, since the programme starts with a live, self-funded account.
MyPropGenius Rating:
The rating measures how openly Axi Select discloses its rules, pricing, payouts and ownership (our Transparency Index methodology). It does not measure how likely you are to pass or be paid.
Its footer names AxiTrader LLC, incorporated in St Vincent and the Grenadines (4303 LLC 2025), with risk warnings; this is live trading, so no simulated-account statement applies. Its About page names the leadership team, including CEO Rajesh Yohannan, and the parent company AxiCorp. No programme fee is charged, so there is nothing to refund. Its programme page shows only totals and claims ('$14M+' paid out, '$200K+' largest single payout, automatic monthly payouts). Axi's About page says Axi Select was launched in 2023 (Axi was founded in 2007); with no month given, we cannot confirm three years.
Its Transparency Index score is 60/100 (Good). We do not verify payouts or test accounts; this is what the firm’s own pages show.
Check the current rules and prices on the firm's own website before you buy.
We have no commercial relationship with Axi Select. Links to its website are not affiliate links.
Axi Select is a different model from a paid challenge: no entry fee, but you trade your own live Axi account and earn Axi capital and a profit share through six stages. The published table is detailed, but the Seed stage pays 0%, each stage up to Pro 500 has minimum days and a set number of trades, and Axi calls the conditions indicative and subject to change. Read the programme terms, which we could not see, before committing funds.
