Ad Prop firm challenges are paid evaluations on simulated accounts, and most traders do not pass. We never tell you to trade.

Axi Select is not a prop challenge. There is no fee and no simulated test: you trade your own live, real-money Axi account, and the broker adds its capital in six stages as your "Edge Score" improves, up to $1 million and an 80% share. That makes it free to join but not free of risk, because your own deposit is on the line.

Unlike the other firms on our list, Axi Select is real trading: losses on your account are real money. Axi's own warning says OTC derivatives can lose you substantially more than your initial investment, rapidly, because of leverage. Is a funded account real money? →

Our verdict on Axi Select

Axi Select swaps the challenge fee for real risk: you trade your own money, and Axi adds capital slowly as your Edge Score rises. For a disciplined trader who already uses Axi, it is a free extra. For anyone who would rather risk a fixed fee than a live deposit, a normal prop challenge is the safer test.

Axi Select FAQ

Is Axi Select really free?

There is no challenge, sign-up or membership fee, but you must trade a live Axi account with at least $500 of your own money, and that money is at risk.

How does Axi Select work?

Your live trades build an Edge Score. At 50 with $500 equity you enter Seed; higher scores and balances move you up six stages, from $5,000 to $1,000,000 of Axi capital.

What profit share does Axi Select pay?

0% at Seed, then 40%, 50%, 60% and 70%, and 80% at Pro M.

When does Axi Select pay?

On the 1st of every month.

Is Axi Select simulated?

No. It uses your real, live Axi account; there is no simulated challenge.

Can you trade news with Axi Select?

Yes. No news rule: you trade your own live account.

Can you hold trades over the weekend with Axi Select?

Yes. No holding rule stated: you trade your own live account.

What is Axi Select's maximum drawdown?

The widest maximum loss on any Axi Select program is 10% of the starting balance, and at least one program has no daily loss limit. Each program's own limits are in the rules table above.

What leverage does Axi Select offer?

Up to 1000:1 at Seed; 100:1 later. Higher leverage lets a small move cost more of your loss limit, so it makes the daily rule easier to break.

When is the first Axi Select payout?

On the 1st of each month. Axi Select pays by paid to your Axi account.

Does Axi Select have a time limit?

Axi Select works differently: progress is measured over set periods rather than an open-ended challenge.

Prop trading terms used in this review

Maximum drawdown: The total loss allowed from the starting balance. Static means the floor never moves; trailing means it follows your highest balance up.
Consistency rule: A cap on how much of your total profit may come from one day or one trade, so a single lucky win cannot pass you.
Minimum trading days: The fewest days you must trade before a phase counts as passed, even if you hit the target sooner.
Profit split: Your share of the profit on the funded account. The firm keeps the rest.
