Axi Select is Axi's official programme for traders with an Axi live account: it evaluates you with a metric called the Edge Score and allocates trading capital in stages across six stages (official page, checked 27 September 2026). There is no registration fee or annual fee, but joining requires a minimum USD 500 deposit into your Axi Select account, 20 trades and reaching an Edge Score of 50.
This article sets out, as far as Axi's official page and help centre confirm, how Axi Select works, its eligibility conditions, the sign-up steps, supported accounts and leverage, the rules for the six stages, how quarantine and withdrawals are treated, and how it relates to copy trading and bonuses. Stage-by-stage allocation amounts, profit splits and funding multipliers vary by conditions and review, so this article does not publish figures; instead it points you to the official page and the client portal's "Axi Select Pathway."
In short: what is Axi Select
- Axi Select is Axi's official capital-allocation programme, free of registration and annual fees (official help article "What is Axi Select", checked 27 September 2026)
- Eligibility requires a minimum USD 500 deposit into your Axi Select account, 20 trades excluding hedged positions, and an Edge Score of 50 or higher (existing traders qualify if any of their Axi accounts already has an Edge Score of 50+)
- Evaluation uses the Edge Score — "a weighted average of skill, risk and consistency, multiplied by a discount factor based on experience" — and capital is allocated in stages: Seed, Incubation, Acceleration, Pro, Pro 500 and Pro M
- Copy trading is banned on Axi Select accounts, and the accounts have their own rules for quarantine and withdrawals
Axi is an advertising partner of this site, and we receive referral commission on accounts opened through our links. Trading through copy trading and Axi Select carries the risk of loss, and past performance does not guarantee future results. This article organises official information and does not guarantee profit or funding.
The official page states: "Clear six stages and get funded by us up to $1 million. Receive up to 80% of the profits. It's free to join" (official page, checked 27 September 2026). Because stage-by-stage allocation amounts, profit splits and funding multipliers vary by conditions and review, this article does not publish figures. Check the official page and the client portal's "Axi Select Pathway" for the current details.
How Axi Select works and the Edge Score
Axi Select (official help article "What is Axi Select", checked 27 September 2026) is a free capital-allocation programme for AxiTrader LLC clients. Once you're accepted, a separate "allocation account" is created, and your trading performance there determines the funding and profit split you receive. You also get Edge Score dashboard analytics, a trading room and educational content.
The Edge Score, the metric used for evaluation, is defined on the official page as "a weighted average of skill, risk and consistency, multiplied by a discount factor based on experience" (official page, checked 27 September 2026). You can track your Edge Score under "Axi Select" in the "Tools" menu of the client portal.
- A free capital-allocation programme (no registration or annual fee)
- Evaluated by the Edge Score (a weighted average of skill, risk and consistency, times an experience-based discount factor)
- Once accepted, a separate "allocation account" is created
- Includes Edge Score dashboard analytics, a trading room and educational content
Axi Select eligibility: USD 500, Edge Score 50, 20 trades

Axi Select supported accounts and leverage fixed at 1:100, USD only
Only certain account types can join Axi Select (official help article "Axi Select: Account Types and Currency", checked 27 September 2026).
| Eligible accounts | Not eligible |
|---|---|
| Standard account, Pro account (Premium on this site), swap-free account | Demo accounts, PAMM/MAM accounts, corporate accounts |
Leverage on both the Axi Select account and the allocation account is fixed at 1:100 and cannot be changed. Only USD is accepted as the account currency (official help articles "What Is the Leverage on an Axi Select Account?" and "Axi Select: Account Types and Currency", checked 27 September 2026).
A separate official help article, "Axi Select Stages," also states that leverage can be selected and adjusted only during the Seed stage, and is fixed at 1:100 from Incubation onward. Check the client portal's own display for your actual setting.
Axi Select's six stages and promotion requirements
Axi Select's official page describes six stages: Seed, Incubation, Acceleration, Pro, Pro 500 and Pro M (checked 27 September 2026). Everyone starts in the Seed stage.
What changes at each stage falls into three areas: (1) profit split, (2) leverage, and (3) the maximum funding multiplier (official help article "What Are the Stages in Axi Select and What Changes at Each Stage?", checked 27 September 2026). Check the table on the official page and the client portal's "Axi Select Pathway" for the specific allocation amounts, split ratios and multipliers.
- A minimum profit target (7% or 10%)
- A minimum period in the stage
- A minimum Edge Score
- A minimum number of trades
- A minimum equity balance in the Axi Select trading account
- All open positions must be closed before advancing to the next stage
Progress is measured on the allocation account. The specific figures for each requirement aren't stated in the official help centre; you need to check the client portal's "Axi Select Pathway" and "Programme Rules" document (official help article "What Requirements Do I Need to Progress to the Next Stage in Axi Select?", checked 27 September 2026).
You must stay in the Seed stage for at least 30 days, though there's no cap on how long you can remain there (official help article "How Long Can I Stay in the Seed Stage of Axi Select?", checked 27 September 2026).
Axi Select quarantine and how withdrawals are treated
Quarantine is a period during which your allocation account is suspended after exceeding the maximum allowed loss of 7%. That 7% loss is calculated against the initial equity at the start of the stage (official help article "Axi Select and the Quarantine Period", checked 27 September 2026).
- The quarantine period lasts 7 calendar days
- During quarantine, all open positions must be closed and no further capital is allocated
- The allocation account can't be used during quarantine
- Treatment differs for the first, second and third occurrence (check the official help centre and client portal for the specific differences)
- Quarantine does not apply to the Seed stage or the Pro stage
You can withdraw your own funds at any time, but withdrawing during certain periods may affect your participation in the programme and the profits later paid out on the allocation account. A pop-up notice appears when you make a withdrawal, and the allocation account balance is immediately reduced by the withdrawal amount times a multiplier. Open positions are not automatically closed after a withdrawal (official help article "How Do I Withdraw Funds from My Axi Select Account?", checked 27 September 2026).
Axi Select, copy trading, EAs and bonuses (JP25 excluded)
Copy trading through Axi's copy-trading service is banned on Axi Select accounts. EAs (automated trading programmes) themselves can be used, but not for the purpose of replicating trades (official help article "Can I Use Copy Trading in Axi Select?", checked 27 September 2026).

The 25% cushion-style deposit bonus "JP25Axi" that this site tracks excludes Axi Select participants (terms provided by Axi, checked 27 September 2026). Because eligibility for limited-time bonuses varies by promotion, check each promotion's terms before deciding to join Axi Select.
Cautions when using Axi Select
Axi's official page carries a risk disclaimer for over-the-counter derivatives, stating they are "complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage," often exceeding the original investment (checked 27 September 2026). Even with a funded-trader programme, the risk of trading itself does not disappear. Trading through copy trading and Axi Select carries the risk of loss, and past performance does not guarantee future results.
- The Seed stage requires a minimum 30-day stay; passing through stages quickly is not expected
- Falling below the minimum equity standard for a stage can move an account into quarantine
- Only one account per person can participate (either MT4 or MT5)
- Some limited-time bonuses, such as JP25Axi, exclude Axi Select participants
- For allocation amounts, profit splits and funding multipliers, the official page and client portal display are the current and accurate source
