Question 1

What is FundedAxe and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

FundedAxe is a proprietary trading firm. You prove your edge on a simulated account, and once you are funded you keep a share of what that performance earns — paid out in real money. Every account, evaluation and funded alike, runs on Platform 5. The environments are simulated (demo); the rewards are not. Two ways to pick up the axe Pay upfront — FundedAxe Basic and Pro. You buy the account and the attempt is yours from the first candle. Choose 1-Step Standard, 1-Step Pro, 2-Step Standard, 2-Step Pro, 3-Step or Instant, in sizes from $5,000 to $400,000. Pay Later — start for $9.99. The fee is charged automatically the moment you pass. Fail, and you owe nothing beyond that $9.99. Pay Later is 1-Step only, in sizes from $10,000 to $400,000. The essentials Platform Platform 5 Leverage 1:100 (1:50 on Instant) Trading period Unlimited on every program — no deadline Account sizes $5,000 – $400,000 Profit split 80% base, upgradeable to 100% with the paid add-on First reward 14 days after your first trade, then every 14 days Reward methods Bank transfer or crypto There is no clock on any FundedAxe program.

Question 2

How do I get started and set up my account?

Accepted Answer

Three steps and you are trading. 1. Choose your program. Go to /challenges and pick the program and account size that suit how you trade — anything from $5,000 to $400,000. Pay the fee upfront with FundedAxe Pro, or choose Pay Later and start for $9.99, with the fee charged only if and when you pass. 2. Add what you want at checkout. Add-ons are priced as a percentage of your account fee: Add-on Cost 100% Profit Split +20% Weekly Reward +20% No Minimum Trading Days +20% Free Retry — one free retry if you breach during the evaluation phase +25% On-demand rewards are also available as an add-on. Use the public code LAUNCH50 at checkout for 50% off. 3. Log in and trade. Your Platform 5 credentials are issued after checkout and shown in your dashboard. Download MT5 from the official MetaQuotes site (desktop, web or mobile), enter your login, password and server exactly as they appear, and the account connects. If your credentials have not reached you, message support and we will chase them down. Worth knowing before your first trade Your reward clock starts on your first trade, not on purchase — the first reward window is 14 days from that trade. Every program has an unlimited trading period. There is no deadline to beat. KYC is a one-time step, completed before your first reward. Getting it out of the way early keeps that first reward clean. There are no subscriptions and no activation fees — you pay for the account, and that is the transaction. Still need help?

Question 3

Pay Later - Get Funded First, Pay When You Pass

Accepted Answer

Pay Later flips the usual order. You put down $9.99 to open your challenge, prove your edge, and the account fee is only charged when you pass. Fail, and you owe nothing beyond that $9.99. Pay Later is 1-Step only. One phase, one target, then a funded account. Sizes run from $10K to $400K. How it works 1. Pick your account size and start your Pay Later challenge for $9.99. 2. Hit the 3% profit target. There is no minimum trading day requirement on the challenge and no time limit. 3. The moment you pass, the account fee for your size is charged automatically and your funded account is issued. 4. Trade funded. Your first reward comes 14 days after your first trade, then every 14 days. Challenge Structure Rule Step 1 (Challenge) Funded Trading period Unlimited Unlimited Profit target 3% None Max drawdown 8% STATIC 5% TRAILING Max daily loss 5% 3% Minimum trading days 0 4 (min 1% profit each) Consistency rule None 30% Minimum hold time 3 minutes 30 seconds Expert Advisors Allowed Allowed Leverage 1:100 1:100 Profit split - 80% (100% with the add-on) Refundable fee - Refunded on your 4th reward Drawdown: where it is static, where it is trailing This is the part people get wrong, so read it twice. Challenge - 8% STATIC Your challenge floor is measured from your starting balance and it never moves. On a $100K account, 8% is $8,000, so your floor sits at $92,000 from day one. Run the account up to $103,000 and pass, and that floor was still $92,000 the whole way. Funded - 5% TRAILING Once you are funded the floor trails. It follows your account up as you make new highs and it never slides back down. - Start funded at $100,000. Floor: $95,000. - Reach a high of $104,000. 5% of $104,000 is $5,200, so the floor moves to $98,800. - Give it all back? The floor stays at $98,800. Trailing floors only climb. Max daily loss - 5% challenge, 3% funded Your daily limit recalculates at midnight UTC from the higher of your balance or equity, and it includes floating (unrealised) profit and loss. - Funded account, yesterday's high was $102,000. 3% of $102,000 is $3,060, so today you must stay above $98,940. - Challenge account, yesterday's high was $103,000. 5% of $103,000 is $5,150, so today you must stay above $97,850. Break the daily loss or the max drawdown and that account closes. There is no penalty beyond the closed account.

Your fee comes back to you: Pay Later fees are refunded on your 4th reward. Resets Pay Later is the only FundedAxe program with resets. After a breach you have 72 hours to buy a reset at 40% of your account fee. Miss that window and the account cannot be reset - start a new challenge instead. Rewards and profit split - Base split is 80%. Upgrade to 100% with the paid add-on. - First reward 14 days after your first trade, then every 14 days. - Weekly Reward add-on: first reward at 21 days, then every 7 days. An on-demand option is also available. - Rewards go out by bank transfer or crypto. KYC is a one-time step completed before your first reward. Consistency rule - 30% on funded accounts No single trading day may account for more than 30% of your total profit in a reward cycle. If one day runs hot: - You are not breached. - You simply cannot request that reward until your profits are spread more evenly. Keep trading and the ratio corrects itself. Equity Protector On funded accounts, the Equity Protector watches your open risk. At 2% equity drawdown, losing positions are closed automatically. It is a guard rail, not a breach. Add-ons Add-On Cost 100% Profit Split +20% of the account fee Weekly Reward +20% No Minimum Trading Days +20% Free Retry +25% Free Retry gives you one free retry if you breach during the evaluation phase. Frequently Asked Questions When do I pay the full fee? Only after you pass. It is charged automatically at that point. What happens if I fail? Nothing beyond the $9.99 you already paid. Can I reset whenever I want? No. Resets are only available after a breach, and only within 72 hours, at 40% of the fee. Are Expert Advisors allowed? Yes, on the challenge and on the funded account. Is there a time limit? No. Every FundedAxe program has an unlimited trading period. Can I use Pay Later on a multi-phase program? No. Pay Later runs on the 1-Step model only. If you want a multi-phase route, choose 2-Step Standard, 2-Step Pro or 3-Step and pay the fee upfront. When is the fee refunded? On your 4th reward. Still need help?

Question 4

Instant

Accepted Answer

No evaluation. No profit target. You buy the account, and you are funded from the first candle. Instant is for traders who have nothing left to prove and would rather get straight to the spoils. Everything that keeps a funded account honest still applies: a daily loss limit, a trailing max drawdown, minimum trading days and a consistency rule. General Rules Rule Value Trading period Unlimited Profit target None - you are funded immediately Max drawdown 6% EOD TRAILING Max daily loss 3% Minimum trading days 5 (min 1% profit each) Consistency rule 20% Minimum hold time 30 seconds Expert Advisors Allowed Leverage 1:50 Profit split 80% (100% with the add-on) Refundable fee Refunded on your 5th reward Instant accounts are simulated environments on Platform 5. The rewards are real money paid on your simulated performance. Account breaches A breach closes that account immediately. There is no penalty beyond the closed account. You breach an Instant account if: - You exceed the 3% max daily loss, or - You fall through the 6% end-of-day trailing max drawdown. Max daily loss - 3% Your daily limit resets at midnight UTC and is calculated from the higher of your balance or equity on the previous day. It includes floating (unrealised) profit and loss. - Yesterday's high was $100,000. 3% is $3,000, so today's floor is $97,000. - Yesterday's high was $103,000. 3% is $3,090, so today's floor is $99,910. Max drawdown - 6% EOD trailing Your overall floor sits 6% below your high-water mark and is recalculated at the end of each trading day. It moves up as you grow the account and it never moves back down. - Start at $100,000. Floor: $94,000. - A day closes at $103,000. 6% of $103,000 is $6,180, so the new floor is $96,820. - Drop back to $101,000? The floor stays at $96,820. Equity Protector At 2% equity drawdown, the Equity Protector automatically closes your losing positions. It is there to stop one bad session from taking the whole account. It is a protective action, not a breach. Rewards Add-On Reward Schedule None (default) First reward 14 days after your first trade, then every 14 days Weekly Reward First reward at 21 days, then every 7 days An on-demand reward option is also available as an add-on. To be eligible for a reward you must: - Complete 5 trading days with at least 1% profit on each, - Stay inside the drawdown rules, and - Meet the 20% consistency rule. Rewards go out by bank transfer or crypto. KYC is completed once, before your first reward. Profit split - Default: 80% - Add-on: 100% from your first reward, +20% of the account fee at checkout Consistency rule - 20% No single trading day may account for more than 20% of your total profit in a reward cycle. If your best day goes over that line: - You are not breached. - You cannot request a reward until your profits are more evenly distributed.

Question 5

1-Step Pro

Accepted Answer

One phase, a lower target and a tighter leash. 1-Step Pro is built for traders who manage risk well and want the shortest route to a funded account. You give up some drawdown room compared to 1-Step Standard. In exchange, the target drops to 8%, the minimum trading days drop to 4, and the funded account carries no consistency rule at all. Trading Objectives Rule Step 1 Funded Trading period Unlimited Unlimited Profit target 8% None Max drawdown 6% STATIC 6% TRAILING Max daily loss 3% 3% Minimum trading days 4 (min 0.5% profit each) 4 (min 0.5% profit each) Consistency rule 30% None Minimum hold time 3 minutes - Expert Advisors Allowed Allowed Leverage 1:100 1:100 Profit split - 80% (100% with the add-on) Refundable fee - Refunded on your 3rd reward Drawdown: static in the challenge, trailing once funded Step 1 - 6% STATIC Your challenge floor is fixed against your starting balance and never moves. - $100K account. 6% is $6,000. Floor: $94,000. - Run it up to $108,000 and the floor is still $94,000. Profit does not buy you extra room, and it does not take any away either. Funded - 6% TRAILING Once funded, the floor follows your high-water mark upward and never slides back down. - Funded at $100,000. Floor: $94,000. - New high of $105,000. 6% of $105,000 is $6,300, so the floor moves to $98,700 and stays there. Max daily loss - 3% at every stage Recalculated at midnight UTC from the higher of your balance or equity, floating profit and loss included. - Yesterday's high: $100,000. Today's floor: $97,000. - Yesterday's high: $104,000. 3% is $3,120, so today's floor is $100,880. Break the daily loss or the max drawdown and that account closes. No further penalty. Consistency rule - 30% in the evaluation During Step 1, no single trading day may make up more than 30% of your total profit. One monster day does not breach you, but you will need to spread your results before the phase is credited as passed. The funded stage of 1-Step Pro has no consistency rule.

Question 6

2-Step Pro

Accepted Answer

Two phases, low targets, only 3 qualifying days per stage. 2-Step Pro is the quick march version of the classic two-phase evaluation: 7% then 5%, a flat 8% static drawdown across every stage, and no consistency rule anywhere.

Floor: $92,000. - Grow the account to $110,000 and the floor is still $92,000. It never rises, and profit never shrinks your room.

Question 7

3-Step

Accepted Answer

Three short stretches instead of one long climb. The 3-Step is for traders who would rather chip away at 6% three times than swing for a single large target - with a roomy 8% static drawdown that never moves the goalposts.

Question 8

1-Step Standard

Accepted Answer

One phase. One target. Then you are funded. The 1-Step Standard is the straight road: hit 10%, keep inside the rules, and move directly to a funded account with an 80% profit split - or 100% with the add-on. No time limit, no second phase, no surprises.

Step 1 - 7% STATIC Your challenge floor is fixed against your starting balance. It never moves. - $100K account. 7% is $7,000. Floor: $93,000. - Push the account to $109,000 and the floor is still $93,000. Funded - 7% TRAILING Once funded, the floor trails. It rises with each new high-water mark and never falls back. - Funded at $100,000. Floor: $93,000. - New high of $106,000. 7% of $106,000 is $7,420, so the floor moves to $98,580. - Hand the profit back and the floor stays at $98,580. Trailing floors only climb. Max daily loss - 4% at both stages Your daily limit resets at midnight UTC and is calculated from the higher of your balance or equity on the previous day, including floating profit and loss. - Yesterday's high: $100,000. 4% is $4,000. Today's floor: $96,000. - Yesterday's high: $102,000. 4% is $4,080. Today's floor: $97,920. Account breaches Your account closes immediately if you: - Exceed the 4% max daily loss, or - Fall through the max drawdown - 7% static in the challenge, 7% trailing once funded. If you breach you can use a Free Retry (if you bought one) or start a new challenge. There are no resets on this program - resets are Pay Later only. Minimum trading days To pass the challenge, and to qualify for a reward once funded, you need 5 separate trading days with at least 0.5% profit on each. The No Minimum Trading Days add-on waives this.

Question 9

Question 10

$9.99 Pay Later - How Starting for $9.99 Works

Accepted Answer

How the $9.99 model works - Pay $9.99 to start. - Complete the 1-Step Pay Later evaluation - a single 3% target. - Get funded the moment you pass. - The account fee is charged only after you pass. - Trade with an 80% profit split, or 100% with the add-on. Fail, and you owe nothing beyond the $9.99. Pay Later is 1-Step only. Challenge overview Rule Step 1 Funded Trading period Unlimited Unlimited Profit target 3% None Minimum trading days 0 4 (min 1% profit each) Max drawdown 8% STATIC 5% TRAILING Max daily loss 5% 3% Consistency rule None 30% Minimum hold time 3 minutes 30 seconds Expert Advisors Allowed Allowed Profit split - 80% (100% with the add-on) Refundable fee - Refunded on your 4th reward Note the switch: the challenge floor is static at 8% off your starting balance, and the funded floor is trailing at 5% behind your high-water mark. The daily loss limit also tightens from 5% to 3% once you are funded, and it recalculates at midnight UTC from the higher of your balance or equity, including floating profit and loss.

Question 11

What challenge types does FundedAxe offer?

Accepted Answer

FundedAxe runs seven programs. Six are paid upfront; one - Pay Later - starts for $9.99 and charges the fee only when you pass.

Question 12

What is Instant?

Accepted Answer

Instant needs no evaluation. Pay the one-time fee, get your funded account immediately, and start trading from day one with no profit target to chase. - Max daily loss - 3%. Recalculated at midnight UTC from the higher of your balance or equity on the previous day, including floating profit and loss. - Max drawdown - 6% EOD trailing. The floor is recalculated at the end of each trading day, rises as your account grows and never moves back down. - Consistency rule - 20%. No single day may account for more than 20% of your total profit in a reward cycle. - Minimum trading days - 5, each with at least 1% profit, before you can request a reward. - Minimum hold time - 30 seconds. Trades closed faster than that are not permitted. - Leverage - 1:50. - Profit split - 80%, or 100% with the paid add-on. - Fee refund - on your 5th reward. - Trading period - unlimited. The Equity Protector runs on every funded account: at 2% equity drawdown, losing positions are closed automatically. Instant accounts are available from $5K to $400K, priced from $89.

Question 13

What is the difference between 1-Step Standard and 1-Step Pro?

Accepted Answer

Both are single-phase evaluations with an unlimited trading period, an 80% base profit split (100% with the add-on) and a fee refunded on your 3rd reward. Here is what actually separates them. Profit target - 1-Step Standard asks for 10%. 1-Step Pro asks for 8%. Pro gets you funded on a smaller move. Max daily loss - Standard gives you 4% a day. Pro tightens that to 3%. Both reset at midnight UTC from the higher of your balance or equity on the previous day, floating profit and loss included. Max drawdown - Standard runs 7%; Pro runs 6%. On both programs the floor is STATIC during the challenge (fixed against your starting balance) and switches to TRAILING once you are funded (it follows your high-water mark up and never comes back down). Minimum trading days - Standard needs 5 days at 0.5% profit each. Pro needs 4. Consistency in the evaluation - Standard allows one day to be up to 50% of your profit. Pro tightens that to 30%. Consistency once funded - Standard applies a 25% rule. Pro has no funded consistency rule at all, which is Pro's biggest advantage if you trade in bursts. Price - Pro costs a little more at every size. A $100K 1-Step Standard is $455; a $100K 1-Step Pro is $470. Short version Take 1-Step Standard if you want the extra 1% of drawdown room and the wider daily limit. Take 1-Step Pro if you would rather have the lower target, fewer qualifying days and a funded account with no consistency rule. Still need help?

Question 14

What is the consistency rule?

Accepted Answer

The consistency rule caps how much of your total profit is allowed to come from a single trading day. It rewards a repeatable edge rather than one lucky swing. Where it applies Program Evaluation Funded 1-Step Standard 50% 25% 1-Step Pro 30% None 2-Step Standard None None 2-Step Pro None None 3-Step None 25% Instant Funded from day one 20% 1-Step Pay Later None 30% How to work it out Divide your best single day's profit by your total profit. If the result sits above your limit, the fix is simple: keep trading and let your other days grow the total until that best day falls back inside the line. Example — you are on a 1-Step Standard funded account, so the limit is 25%. Total profit is $2,000 and your best day made $600. That is 30% of the total, which is over the line. Keep trading; once the total has grown enough that $600 is less than a quarter of it, you are clear. (Figures are illustrative only.) Your current consistency figure is shown in your dashboard, so you never have to guess where you stand before requesting a reward. Still need help?

Question 15

What are the profit targets, drawdown limits and minimum trading days?

Accepted Answer

Every FundedAxe program is defined by four numbers: the target, the daily loss limit, the max drawdown and the minimum trading days. Here they are in full. Profit targets Program Target 1-Step Standard 10% 1-Step Pro 8% 2-Step Standard 8% (Phase 1), then 5% (Phase 2) 2-Step Pro 7% (Phase 1), then 5% (Phase 2) 3-Step 6% / 6% / 6% Instant None — you are funded immediately 1-Step Pay Later 3% Daily loss and max drawdown Program Daily loss Max drawdown 1-Step Standard 4% 7% static on the challenge, 7% trailing once funded 1-Step Pro 3% 6% static on the challenge, 6% trailing once funded 2-Step Standard 5% 10% static, all stages 2-Step Pro 5% 8% static, all stages 3-Step 5% 8% static, all stages Instant 3% 6% end-of-day trailing 1-Step Pay Later 5% on the challenge, 3% once funded 8% static on the challenge, 5% trailing once funded A static drawdown line is fixed from your starting balance and does not move. A trailing line follows your account up as it grows. Minimum trading days Program Minimum trading days 1-Step Standard 5 days at 0.5% each — on both the evaluation and the funded account 1-Step Pro 4 days at 0.5% each 2-Step Standard 5 days at 0.5% each — per phase and on the funded account 2-Step Pro 3 days at 0.5% each 3-Step 5 days at 0.5% each Instant 5 days at 1% each 1-Step Pay Later None on the challenge · 4 days at 1% each once funded A day counts toward the minimum when it makes at least the stated percentage of your account size. In dollars, that looks like this: Account size 0.5% day 1% day $5,000 $25 $50 $10,000 $50 $100 $25,000 $125 $250 $50,000 $250 $500 $100,000 $500 $1,000 $200,000 $1,000 $2,000 $300,000 $1,500 $3,000 $400,000 $2,000 $4,000 Not keen on counting days? The No Minimum Trading Days add-on (+20% of the account fee) removes the requirement. What happens if I breach? Breaching your daily loss limit or your max drawdown closes that account. There is no penalty beyond the closed account — no debt, no clawback, nothing chasing you afterwards. Two ways back in: Free Retry add-on (+25% of the account fee) — one free retry if the breach happened during the evaluation phase. Pay Later reset — after a breach you have 72 hours to buy a reset at 40% of the fee. Your live progress against every one of these numbers is shown in your dashboard. Still need help?

Question 16

Do I have to close my positions at the end of the day?

Accepted Answer

No. FundedAxe does not force you flat at the end of a session. Overnight holding — allowed, on every program, evaluation and funded. Weekend holding — allowed, on every program. Expert Advisors (EAs) — allowed. There is no end-of-day liquidation rule and no deadline on the account: the trading period is unlimited on every FundedAxe program. What does happen overnight Your daily loss limit recalculates at midnight UTC, measured from the higher of your balance or your equity at that moment. Floating (unrealised) P&L counts toward the limit, so any position you carry into the new day carries its open loss with it. Size what you hold accordingly. The guardrail on funded accounts Equity Protector watches funded accounts. At 2% equity drawdown, losing positions are closed automatically. It is a guardrail, not a punishment — it exists so a bad session does not become a closed account. What you still cannot do Minimum hold time — 3 minutes on all evaluations and on the Pay Later challenge; 30 seconds on Pay Later funded accounts and on Instant. Trades closed faster than the minimum are not permitted. Banned outright — HFT, latency arbitrage, copy trading across accounts (including between your own accounts), and one-sided risk exposure on funded accounts. The full rulebook lives at /rules.

Question 17

What is the Equity Protector?

Accepted Answer

The Equity Protector is the automatic safety net that runs on every FundedAxe funded account. When your open positions push the account 2% into equity drawdown, your losing positions are closed for you — automatically, without you having to lift a finger. It exists because most accounts are not lost slowly. They are lost in one bad session that nobody cut short. Where it applies Funded accounts only. It does not run during an evaluation or challenge phase. In the challenge, your daily loss limit and maximum drawdown are the only guardrails. How it works 1. You have positions open and the market moves against you. 2. Your equity drawdown reaches 2%. 3. Your losing positions are closed automatically. 4. You carry on. The Protector firing is not a breach and does not end your account. Example — $100,000 funded account Your equity starts the day at $100,000. Your open positions run $2,000 into the red. That is 2% equity drawdown. The Equity Protector closes the losing positions. Your account is still alive. Depending on your program, your daily loss limit would have been $3,000 (3%) or $5,000 (5%) — the Protector acted well before you got there. What the Equity Protector is not It is a backstop, not a risk plan. It does not replace anything: Your daily loss limit still applies in full. Your maximum drawdown still applies in full. The rules on prohibited activity still apply in full. If the market gaps hard, or you are carrying size through a violent move, price can travel through the 2% level before positions can be closed. Size your trades as if the Protector were not there — then treat it as a bonus when it saves you. Quick answers Can I keep trading after it triggers? Yes. Nothing is locked, paused or suspended. Re-enter whenever your plan says so. Does it close my winners too? No. It closes losing positions. Does it apply on my challenge account? No. Funded accounts only. Is it a breach? No. A breach is exceeding your daily loss limit or your maximum drawdown. The Protector is designed to keep you away from both. Still need help?

Question 18

Are stop losses required at FundedAxe?

Accepted Answer

No. A stop loss is not mandatory on any FundedAxe program. That is not the same as saying you should trade without one. Undefined risk is the single fastest way to lose an account you paid for. Why we recommend a stop on every trade It fixes your worst case before the market gets a vote. It makes your risk per trade a number you can actually size against your daily loss limit. It keeps you inside the limits while you sleep, commute, or step away from the screen. It builds the habits the funded stage expects. What can go wrong without one Your daily loss limit counts floating P&L. The limit is measured against your balance or equity — an open, unrealised loss can breach you before you ever click close. A trade that "would have come back" is no defence once the account is shut. Your maximum drawdown counts equity too. Same story: you do not need to close a trade to lose the account with it. On funded accounts, one-sided risk exposure is prohibited. Stacking undefined risk in one direction, on one instrument, is exactly the behaviour that rule exists to stop. On funded accounts, the Equity Protector will act for you. At 2% equity drawdown, your losing positions are closed automatically. Without a stop, that will often be the thing that ends your position — on the platform's terms rather than yours. Worked example — $100,000, 2-Step Standard Daily loss limit: 5% = $5,000 Maximum drawdown: 10% static = breach below $90,000 A single unstopped position that runs $5,000 against you ends the account for the day's limit alone. A stop placed at $1,000 of risk leaves you four more chances to be wrong before the day is over. Our suggestion Every trade should carry either a stop loss, or a written, mechanical exit level you will honour without arguing with yourself. If you cannot state your risk in dollars at the moment you enter, you do not have a risk plan — you have a position. Still need help?

Question 19

How is trade risk calculated?

Accepted Answer

Trade risk is the money you stand to lose if the market goes the wrong way — measured at the moment you enter, not after the fact. The formula Risk = Entry price − Stop loss × Lots × Contract size Buy (long): Risk = (Entry − Stop) × Lots × Contract size Sell (short): Risk = (Stop − Entry) × Lots × Contract size Stop losses are not mandatory at FundedAxe, but without one there is no entry price for this formula and your risk is, by definition, undefined. Worked example — $100,000, 1-Step Standard evaluation Your limits on that account: Daily loss limit: 4% = $4,000 Maximum drawdown: 7% static = breach below $93,000 You buy gold. Illustrative numbers: Entry: 2,000.00 Stop loss: 1,990.00 Lots: 1 Contract size: 100 Risk = (2,000.00 − 1,990.00) × 1 × 100 = $1,000 That is a quarter of your daily allowance on one trade. Four of those, back to back, and the day is over. Stacking positions on the same instrument If you are adding to a position, or running several trades on the same instrument in the same direction, treat them as one idea and one number. Add the risk up. The limits do not care that you opened it in three clicks — and on funded accounts, concentrated one-directional exposure is a prohibited activity in its own right. Things that catch people out Floating P&L counts. Unrealised losses feed straight into your daily loss limit and your maximum drawdown. A trade you have not closed can still breach you. Your daily baseline moves. The daily loss limit is recalculated at midnight UTC from the higher of your balance or equity. Recalculate your per-trade size against the new baseline, not last week's. The Equity Protector is a floor, not a plan. On funded accounts it closes losing positions at 2% equity drawdown. Size as though it were not there. Best practice Work out the dollar risk before you click, every time. Express it as a percentage of your daily loss limit, not your account size. Watch equity, not just balance, while trades are open.

Question 20

How long do I have to hold a trade? (Minimum hold time)

Accepted Answer

FundedAxe enforces a minimum hold time. A position closed faster than the minimum for your account is not permitted. The minimums Account Minimum hold time All evaluation phases (1-Step Standard, 1-Step Pro, 2-Step Standard, 2-Step Pro, 3-Step) 3 minutes Pay Later challenge 3 minutes Pay Later funded 30 seconds Instant 30 seconds Where the 30-second exception is not listed above, plan for the 3-minute minimum. If you are not certain which applies to your account, ask us before you place the trade — it takes a minute and it costs nothing. How it is measured From the moment a position opens to the moment it closes. It applies to manual trades and to anything placed by an Expert Advisor alike — an EA does not get a shorter clock. Why the rule exists The minimum hold time is what keeps FundedAxe an evaluation of trading rather than a race against the price feed. It sits alongside our bans on high-frequency trading and latency arbitrage, which target the same behaviour from the other direction: strategies that harvest micro-movements and broker pricing delays instead of taking real directional risk. Practical notes Scalping in general is fine. Scalping faster than the minimum is not. A stop loss that triggers inside the window is still a position closed inside the window — size and place your stops with that in mind. News trading is allowed, but volatile releases are where sub-minimum closes tend to happen by accident. Be deliberate. Still need help?

Question 21

Are “all or nothing” strategies allowed?

Accepted Answer

No. FundedAxe is looking for traders who can repeat a result, not traders who can survive one coin flip. Putting a large share of the account behind a single idea — an "all or nothing" or "double or nothing" swing — is not the kind of trading this program is built to fund, and on funded accounts it runs straight into our ban on one-sided risk exposure. What this looks like in practice Concentrating most of your available risk in one position or one instrument. Sizing so that a single normal move against you would take out your maximum drawdown. Running unhedged, undefined risk right up against your drawdown threshold to try to force a target. Doubling into a loser to get flat. Carrying oversized exposure through high-impact releases on the assumption it will go your way. None of these are strategies. They are one decision repeated until it fails. Where the hard lines sit Two things end an account automatically, with no judgement call involved: Exceeding your daily loss limit Exceeding your maximum drawdown Beyond those, one-sided risk exposure on funded accounts is a prohibited activity. It is reviewed by our team rather than triggered by a counter, and it is assessed on the shape of your risk — where it was concentrated and how it was controlled — not only on whether a number was crossed. What happens if we see it Trading of this kind is reviewed, and the outcome depends on what the review finds. It can include profit from the activity being removed and the account being closed. Nothing is decided by a bot; if your sizing was deliberate and defensible, say so. If you think your strategy might read this way Talk to us first. Genuinely large positions have legitimate uses — event trades, hedged structures, low-volatility instruments where size is normal. Be ready to explain the logic, where the risk was capped, and how the trade fits a plan that survives being wrong. We would far rather answer the question before the trade than after the reward request. The short version Bold is fine. Uncontrolled is not. Trade the account like it is your own, because the spoils only ever come from the accounts that are still open. Still need help?

Question 22

What leverage do I get at FundedAxe?

Accepted Answer

FundedAxe runs on Platform 5, and the leverage is simple enough to state in two lines. Program Leverage 1-Step Standard, 1-Step Pro, 2-Step Standard, 2-Step Pro, 3-Step, Pay Later 1:100 Instant 1:50 That is it — no separate table to memorise, and no change to hunt for halfway through your evaluation. Leverage is not your risk limit This is the part that costs people accounts. Leverage decides the largest position you can open. It has nothing to do with the size you should open. What actually ends an account is your daily loss limit and your maximum drawdown, and both are measured in percent of your account — not in margin. You can be nowhere near a margin problem and still be one oversized trade from a breach. Example — $100,000, 1-Step Pro Daily loss limit: 3% = $3,000 Maximum drawdown: 6% = breach below $94,000 in the challenge At 1:100 the platform will happily let you open far more than $3,000 of risk. The platform is not the rule. The 3% is. Practical notes Size from your stop distance and your daily loss limit, then check the margin will allow it — in that order, never the reverse. On funded accounts, remember the Equity Protector closes losing positions at 2% equity drawdown. Heavier leverage means you reach that 2% sooner. Gaps over weekends and news releases do not respect your margin cushion. Position accordingly. Still need help? Our team is on live chat, Discord (https://discord.gg/funded-axe) or support@fundedaxe.com.

Question 23

Can I hold trades overnight or over the weekend?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Overnight and weekend holding are allowed on every FundedAxe program. No forced flat on Friday, no closing your book before the session ends. That said, the market keeps moving whether you can reach it or not. Here is what to plan for. 1. Gaps Markets close. News does not. A weekend headline or an overnight event can reopen a market at a very different price from where it closed, and your stop can only fill at what is available when trading resumes. Example — $100,000, 1-Step Standard Your daily loss limit is 4% = $4,000. You carry an oversized position into the weekend. The market reopens against you by enough to move your equity $4,000. You never got to manage it, and the account is breached on the daily loss limit alone. The rules do not make an exception for gaps. Size the position for the version of Monday you did not plan for. 2. You cannot manage what you cannot reach While the market is closed there is no closing, no adjusting, no hedging out. Everything you are going to do about the position, you have to have already done. 3. Swaps Positions held past the daily rollover are charged or credited a swap, depending on the instrument and your direction. Rollovers that span a closed weekend carry more than a single day's worth. Swaps hit your balance and your equity, which means they count toward your limits like any other loss. 4. Your daily baseline resets underneath you Your daily loss limit is recalculated at midnight UTC from the higher of your balance or equity — including while a position is open, and including floating P&L. A trade you opened yesterday is measured against today's baseline. If you went to bed in profit and the baseline reset higher, your room to be wrong is smaller than you think. 5. The Equity Protector still runs On funded accounts, losing positions are closed automatically at 2% equity drawdown — overnight and at the weekend included. It is a floor, not insurance against a gap that jumps straight past it. How to hold sensibly Use stops, and accept that a gap can slip through them. Trim size before long closures if you are not sure. Check the calendar for high-impact releases landing while you are away. Price the swap into the trade before you take it, not after. Recheck your daily baseline first thing — it changed at midnight UTC. Still need help? Our team is on live chat, Discord (https://discord.gg/funded-axe) or support@fundedaxe.com.

Question 24

What happens if I trade without a stop loss?

Accepted Answer

Nothing happens automatically. Trading without a stop loss is not itself a breach at FundedAxe. What it does is remove the only thing standing between a bad move and your limits. What the loss actually does It hits your daily loss limit while the trade is still open. The daily limit counts floating, unrealised P&L. You do not have to close the trade for it to end the account. It hits your maximum drawdown the same way. Depending on your program that is 5% to 10% of the account, measured on balance or equity. Cross either one and the account closes. That is a hard breach: the daily loss limit or the maximum drawdown, exceeded. The account is done. On funded accounts, two more things are true The Equity Protector closes your losing positions at 2% equity drawdown. Without a stop, this is frequently what ends the trade — at a level the platform chose, not you. One-sided risk exposure is a prohibited activity. Undefined risk piled into one direction on one instrument is precisely what that rule covers. What a hard breach costs you The account closes. There is no penalty beyond that closed account — no ban, no black mark, no charge. Depending on your situation you may be able to: Use a Free Retry if you bought that add-on and the breach happened during the evaluation phase. Buy a reset on a Pay Later account — available for 72 hours after the breach, at 40% of the fee. Start a new challenge whenever you like. The case for the stop It caps the loss without you having to be at the screen. It converts "how bad could this get" into a number you can size against your daily limit. It keeps you in the program long enough for an edge to show up. One unmanaged position is enough to end an account. A stop is the cheapest thing in this business. Still need help?

What is a hard breach?

Accepted Answer

A hard breach is the point where an account stops. It is mechanical — there is no judgement call and no review. What causes a hard breach You hard-breach when you exceed either of these: Your daily loss limit Your maximum drawdown Both are measured on balance or equity, and both include floating (unrealised) P&L. You do not need to close a trade to breach with it. Your limits, by program Program Daily loss limit Maximum drawdown 1-Step Standard 4% 7% — static in the challenge, trailing once funded 1-Step Pro 3% 6% — static in the challenge, trailing once funded 2-Step Standard 5% 10% static, all stages 2-Step Pro 5% 8% static, all stages 3-Step 5% 8% static, all stages Instant 3% 6% trailing (end of day) 1-Step Pay Later 5% in the challenge, 3% once funded 8% static in the challenge, 5% trailing once funded Example — $100,000, 2-Step Standard Daily loss limit: 5% of the day's baseline. On a $100,000 baseline that is $5,000 — drop below $95,000 during the day and the account is breached. Maximum drawdown: 10% static from your starting balance. Drop below $90,000 at any point and the account is breached, however much profit you had made first. What happens next The account closes. There is no penalty beyond the closed account. You are not banned, you are not charged, and nothing follows you to your next account. From there you can: Use a Free Retry if you bought that add-on and the breach was in the evaluation phase. Buy a reset if it was a Pay Later account — 72 hours to take it, at 40% of the fee. Start a fresh challenge, on any program, whenever you want. How to stay clear of it Recheck your daily baseline after midnight UTC — it is recalculated from the higher of balance or equity. Watch equity, not just balance, whenever trades are open. Know which of your two limits is nearer. It is not always the one you are watching. On funded accounts, treat the Equity Protector at 2% as an early warning, not a safety harness. Still need help?

Question 26

What trading activity is prohibited?

Accepted Answer

FundedAxe keeps the rulebook short on purpose. Everything below is prohibited on FundedAxe accounts. Read it once, properly — these are the rules that decide whether an account survives. High-frequency trading (HFT) Automated, high-turnover execution designed to extract profit from micro-movements is not permitted. This includes tick scalping and any strategy whose edge is speed of execution rather than direction. Latency arbitrage Strategies that exploit delays between price feeds — trading against a quote you already know is stale — are not permitted. Trading inside the minimum hold time Positions closed faster than the minimum hold time for your account are not permitted: 3 minutes on all evaluations and the Pay Later challenge 30 seconds on Pay Later funded accounts and Instant Cross-account copy trading Copying trades between accounts is prohibited — including between accounts you own yourself. This is the rule most often misread, so to be unambiguous: running the same strategy across two of your own FundedAxe accounts via a copier, bridge or trade-mirroring tool is not allowed. Neither is copying from or to an external account, or from or to another person. One-sided risk exposure (funded accounts) On funded accounts you must keep your risk balanced. Concentrating your exposure in a single direction — one instrument, one idea, undefined or oversized — is prohibited. It is reviewed on the shape of the risk you took, not only on whether a numeric limit was crossed. What is explicitly allowed To save you asking: News trading — allowed on every account. On funded accounts, profit from trades opened or closed within 5 minutes of a high-impact release may be removed. Expert Advisors — allowed, provided they respect every rule above. Overnight and weekend holding — allowed on every program. Consequences Prohibited activity is reviewed by our team. Depending on what the review finds, profit from the activity can be removed and the account can be closed. Separately and automatically, exceeding your daily loss limit or maximum drawdown closes that account. There is no penalty beyond the closed account. If you are not sure Ask before you trade, not after you request a reward. The full terms live at /terms — this article covers what we are asked about most, and the terms govern in every case.

Question 27

How is the daily loss limit calculated?

Accepted Answer

The daily loss limit caps how much you can lose in a single day. It is the rule that ends the most accounts, and the one worth understanding line by line. How it works Every day at midnight UTC, your daily baseline is recalculated from the higher of your balance or your equity at that moment. Your daily loss limit is a fixed percentage of that baseline. Let your balance or equity fall below it at any point during the day and the account is breached. Three details that matter: It includes floating P&L. Unrealised losses count. You do not need to close a trade to breach with it. It uses the higher of balance or equity. If you are sitting in open profit at midnight UTC, that higher equity becomes the baseline — and the limit is measured down from there. It is fixed for the day. The baseline does not move intraday, no matter how much you make or lose after midnight UTC. Daily loss limit by program Program Daily loss limit On a $100,000 baseline 1-Step Standard 4% $4,000 1-Step Pro 3% $3,000 2-Step Standard 5% $5,000 2-Step Pro 5% $5,000 3-Step 5% $5,000 Instant 3% $3,000 1-Step Pay Later 5% in the challenge, 3% once funded $5,000 → $3,000 The dollar column assumes a baseline of exactly $100,000. Your real number is whatever the midnight UTC recalculation produced. Example 1 — $100,000, 2-Step Standard (5%) At midnight UTC: Balance: $100,000 Equity: $102,000 The higher value is used, so the baseline is $102,000. 5% of $102,000 = $5,100 Your floor for the day is $96,900 If balance or equity touches below $96,900 at any point that day, the account is breached — even though you started the day $2,000 in profit. Example 2 — $100,000, 1-Step Pro (3%) At midnight UTC: Balance: $103,000 Equity: $104,000 Baseline: $104,000 3% of $104,000 = $3,120 Your floor for the day is $100,880 Note what happened: you are $4,000 up on the account overall, but you only have $3,120 of room today. Profit does not buy you a bigger daily allowance. Example 3 — the trade you left open You open a position on Tuesday and hold it overnight. At midnight UTC the baseline recalculates around your current equity. On Wednesday that position is measured against Wednesday's floor, not Tuesday's. Overnight holders should recheck the number first thing. What happens if you breach it The account closes immediately. There is no penalty beyond that closed account — no ban, no charge. You may be able to use a Free Retry (add-on, evaluation phase only), or a reset on a Pay Later account within 72 hours at 40% of the fee. Otherwise, start a new challenge whenever you like. Staying inside it Work out your floor after every midnight UTC reset and write it down. Size each trade as a fraction of the daily limit, not of the account. Watch equity while trades are open — the limit does not wait for you to close them. On funded accounts, the Equity Protector closes losing positions at 2% equity drawdown, well before the daily limit. Do not treat it as your stop. Still need help?

Question 28

What is the maximum drawdown limit?

Accepted Answer

Maximum drawdown is the hard floor of the account. Cross it and the account is closed — in an evaluation or on a funded account alike. It is measured on your balance or equity, and it includes floating (unrealised) P&L. Maximum drawdown by program Program Maximum drawdown Static or trailing Breach level on $100,000 1-Step Standard 7% Static in the challenge → trailing once funded $93,000 in the challenge 1-Step Pro 6% Static in the challenge → trailing once funded $94,000 in the challenge 2-Step Standard 10% Static, all stages $90,000 2-Step Pro 8% Static, all stages $92,000 3-Step 8% Static, all stages $92,000 Instant 6% Trailing (end of day) starts at $94,000, then follows your account up 1-Step Pay Later 8% in the challenge → 5% once funded Static in the challenge → trailing once funded $92,000 in the challenge; funded starts at $95,000 Static drawdown Static means the floor is set from your starting balance and never moves. Profit does not raise it, and losses do not lower it. Example — $100,000, 2-Step Standard (10% static) Breach level: $90,000, permanently. You run the account to $112,000. The floor is still $90,000. You give it all back and drop below $90,000 — the account is breached, regardless of how much you had made. Example — $100,000, 2-Step Pro (8% static) Breach level: $92,000, for the life of the account. Trailing drawdown Trailing means the floor follows your account upward as it grows, so the distance between your high-water point and the breach level stays the same. It follows you up. It does not come back down when you give profit back. Where trailing applies: Instant — 6%, trailing on your end-of-day balance. On a $100,000 account it starts at $94,000; as your end-of-day balance climbs, the floor climbs with it. 1-Step Standard, funded — 7% trailing (the challenge stage is static). 1-Step Pro, funded — 6% trailing (the challenge stage is static). Pay Later, funded — 5% trailing (the challenge stage is 8% static). Two things to internalise about a trailing floor: 1. Your buffer never grows. Making money moves the floor up with you; it does not give you more room. 2. The step from challenge to funded tightens things. On Pay Later, for instance, the drawdown goes from 8% static to 5% trailing, and the daily loss limit goes from 5% to 3% at the same time. Recalculate your position sizing the day you get funded. Your live drawdown level is always shown on your dashboard. That number is the one that counts. What happens if you breach it The account closes. There is no penalty beyond the closed account — no ban, nothing carried forward. You may be able to use a Free Retry (add-on, evaluation phase only), or reset a Pay Later account within 72 hours at 40% of the fee. Otherwise, start again on any program you like. Staying inside it Know your exact breach level in dollars, not in percent. Track equity, not just balance — open trades count. Know whether your floor is static or trailing. They demand different sizing. Recheck the number after every funded-stage transition. Still need help? Our team is on live chat, Discord (https://discord.gg/funded-axe) or support@fundedaxe.com.

Question 29

Can I trade the news?

Accepted Answer

Yes. News trading is allowed on every FundedAxe program — evaluations, funded accounts and Instant alike. There is no blackout window you have to sit out, and no instrument list you have to avoid before a release. There is one condition, and it applies only once you are funded. The funded-account condition On funded accounts, profit from a trade opened or closed within 5 minutes of a high-impact news release may be removed. Read that precisely: It applies to funded accounts, not to evaluations. The window is 5 minutes around the release — a trade opened inside it counts, and so does a trade closed inside it, even if it was opened hours earlier. What is at stake is the profit from that trade. Trading the news is not a breach and does not close your account on its own. What still applies during news All the normal rules, without softening: Your daily loss limit — recalculated at midnight UTC from the higher of balance or equity, and counting floating P&L. Your maximum drawdown. Your minimum hold time — 3 minutes on evaluations and the Pay Later challenge, 30 seconds on Pay Later funded and Instant. This is where releases catch people out: a violent spike closes the position inside the window, and the trade is not permitted. On funded accounts, the Equity Protector, which closes losing positions at 2% equity drawdown. On funded accounts, the ban on one-sided risk exposure. Practical notes Spreads widen and fills slip around releases. A stop is not a guaranteed price. If you are on an evaluation, the 5-minute condition does not apply to you — but the minimum hold time absolutely does. If you hold through a release rather than trading it, the 5-minute window only matters if your open or close lands inside it. Check the calendar before you size. A gap through your level costs the same whether you saw it coming or not. Still need help? Our team is on live chat, Discord (https://discord.gg/funded-axe) or support@fundedaxe.com.

Question 30

How many minimum trading days do I need?

Accepted Answer

Most FundedAxe programs ask for a minimum number of trading days, and a day only counts if it produces a minimum profit. Hitting the target in one session is not enough on its own. Minimum trading days by program Program Minimum trading days Profit needed for a day to count 1-Step Standard 5 (both stages) 0.5% per day 1-Step Pro 4 0.5% per day 2-Step Standard 5 per phase, plus funded 0.5% per day 2-Step Pro 3 0.5% per day 3-Step 5 0.5% per day Instant 5 1% per day 1-Step Pay Later 0 in the challenge, 4 once funded 1% per day on the funded stage What "0.5% per day" means on $100,000 0.5% = $500 of profit for the day to count. 1% = $1,000 of profit for the day to count. So on a $100,000 1-Step Pro evaluation you need 4 days of at least $500 profit each, on top of reaching the 8% target. On a $100,000 Instant account you need 5 days of at least $1,000 each. A day where you trade and finish below the threshold does not count against you — it simply does not count toward the total. Good news on the clock There is no time limit on any FundedAxe program. The trading period is unlimited, so minimum trading days are a floor, never a deadline. Take a week or take a year. Skipping the requirement The No Minimum Trading Days add-on removes the requirement. It costs +20% of the account fee and is chosen at checkout. Notes Some programs also carry a consistency requirement, which caps how much of your profit can come from one day. The two rules work together: consistency spreads the profit out, minimum trading days sets how many qualifying days you need. Minimum trading days apply on funded stages too on several programs — check the table above for yours. Your dashboard tracks qualifying days for you. Still need help?

Question 31

Are Expert Advisors and automated strategies allowed?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Expert Advisors are allowed on every FundedAxe program. We run on Platform 5, so if your EA runs there, it runs here. An EA is held to exactly the same rules as a human hand on the mouse — no more, no less. What your EA must respect Minimum hold time. Positions closed faster than the minimum are not permitted: 3 minutes on all evaluations and the Pay Later challenge 30 seconds on Pay Later funded accounts and Instant This is the rule that catches most automated strategies. Check your exit logic before you attach the EA, not after the first breach. No high-frequency trading. High-turnover execution designed to harvest micro-movements is prohibited, automated or otherwise. No latency arbitrage. Strategies whose edge is a delay in pricing rather than a directional view are prohibited. No cross-account copy trading. Running one EA's signals across multiple accounts through a copier or bridge is prohibited — including between accounts you own yourself. No one-sided risk exposure on funded accounts. An EA that piles concentrated, undefined, one-directional risk into a single instrument falls under this rule the same way a manual trade would. The limits do not change for automation Your daily loss limit is recalculated at midnight UTC from the higher of balance or equity, and counts floating P&L — including your EA's open positions. Your maximum drawdown applies the same way. On funded accounts, the Equity Protector closes losing positions at 2% equity drawdown. Your EA may try to reopen them. Make sure that is what you actually want it to do. Practical advice Test the EA on the exact program you are buying. Different programs have different daily limits, drawdown types and hold times. Set a hard cap in the EA below your daily loss limit, so the EA stops before the platform has to. If the EA martingales or averages into losers, look hard at your maximum drawdown before you run it — those strategies and static floors do not mix well. Do not leave an untested EA running through a high-impact release. Still need help? Our team is on live chat, Discord (https://discord.gg/funded-axe) or support@fundedaxe.com.

Question 32

How does trailing drawdown work on a funded account?

Accepted Answer

Some FundedAxe programs move from a static drawdown floor during the evaluation to a trailing floor once you are funded. A trailing floor climbs with your account. Once it has climbed, it never drops back — a losing day does not pull it down again. Which programs trail once funded Program Evaluation Funded 1-Step Standard 7% static 7% trailing 1-Step Pro 6% static 6% trailing 1-Step Pay Later 8% static 5% trailing Instant Funded from day one 6% end-of-day trailing 2-Step Standard 10% static 10% static 2-Step Pro 8% static 8% static 3-Step 8% static 8% static Static means the floor is set once and stays put for the life of the account. Trailing means the floor sits the stated percentage below the highest point your account has reached. A worked example A $100,000 1-Step Standard funded account, 7% trailing. The floor is always 7% below your high-water mark: Point Account high Floor Start $100,000 $93,000 Up to $102,000 $102,000 $94,860 Up to $104,000 $104,000 $96,720 Pull back to $102,500 $104,000 $96,720 On the losing day the floor holds at $96,720. It rose with the high, and it stays there. On Instant accounts the floor updates at the end of each trading day rather than continuously — that is what "end-of-day trailing" means. Trailing floors and rewards A reward takes money out of the account, so your balance sits closer to the floor afterwards. Before you request, open your dashboard: it shows your live floor, your current balance and the amount available to request on that account. Treat the dashboard as the authority — it is the same engine that enforces the rule. Your daily loss limit is a separate rule and is checked separately.

Question 33

What are the rules on a funded FundedAxe account?

Accepted Answer

Getting funded does not change the Code — it sharpens it. Here is everything that governs a live FundedAxe account. Limits by program Program Daily loss Max drawdown (funded) Minimum trading days Consistency (funded) 1-Step Standard 4% 7% trailing 5 days, each with at least 0.5% profit 25% 1-Step Pro 3% 6% trailing 4 days, each with at least 0.5% profit None 2-Step Standard 5% 10% static 5 days, each with at least 0.5% profit None 2-Step Pro 5% 8% static 3 days, each with at least 0.5% profit None 3-Step 5% 8% static 5 days, each with at least 0.5% profit 25% Instant 3% 6% end-of-day trailing 5 days, each with at least 1% profit 20% 1-Step Pay Later 3% 5% trailing 4 days, each with at least 1% profit 30% Minimum trading days must be complete before you can request a reward. The No Minimum Trading Days add-on (+20% of the account fee) removes that requirement if you would rather not wait. How the daily loss limit is measured Your daily loss allowance recalculates at midnight UTC, taken from the higher of your balance or your equity at that moment. It includes floating profit and loss, so an open position in the red counts against you in real time — not only when you close it. Equity Protector Every funded account runs with the Equity Protector. At 2% equity drawdown, your losing positions are closed automatically. It is a shield between a bad session and a blown account, and it is always on. News trading News is allowed on every FundedAxe program. On funded accounts, profit from a trade opened or closed within 5 minutes of a high-impact news release may be removed from the account. Minimum hold time Trades closed faster than the minimum are not permitted. 3 minutes — all evaluations and the Pay Later challenge 30 seconds — Pay Later funded accounts and Instant Allowed Holding over the weekend Holding overnight Expert Advisors Unlimited time — no FundedAxe program has a deadline Not allowed High-frequency trading Latency arbitrage Copy trading across accounts, including between two of your own One-sided risk exposure on funded accounts If you breach Breaching the daily loss limit or the maximum drawdown closes that account. There is no penalty beyond the closed account — no debt, no clawback. What you keep The base profit split is 80%. The 100% Profit Split add-on (+20% of the account fee) raises it to 100%.

Question 34

Can I hold more than one funded account?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can run more than one FundedAxe account at the same time, across different programs and account sizes. Each account stands alone Every account carries its own target, its own drawdown floor, its own daily loss limit, its own minimum trading days and its own consistency requirement. Nothing is pooled. A reward on one account has no effect on another. That cuts both ways: breaching the daily loss limit or maximum drawdown closes that account only. Your other accounts keep running, and there is no penalty beyond the account that was closed. What you cannot do across accounts Copy trading between accounts is banned — including between two accounts you own yourself. Mirroring the same positions across your own accounts is treated the same as copying someone else's. One-sided risk exposure on funded accounts is also banned. Splitting one directional bet across several accounts to dodge a single account's limits falls under this. Both are grounds for closure of the accounts involved. Verification You complete KYC once, before your first reward — not once per account. How many can I hold? Your dashboard shows every account on your profile and what you are eligible to purchase. If you want to run a larger stack than the dashboard allows, talk to us first rather than buying and hoping. Still need help?

Question 35

What happens if my reward is paid late?

Accepted Answer

We put a number on it. The 48-Hour Oath Reward requests are reviewed within 24 hours of submission. Once approved, your reward is initiated within 48 hours. If we initiate later than 48 hours after approval, we credit $1,000 to that reward. One credit per reward request. When the clock starts The 48 hours run from approval, not from the moment you submit the request. Review comes first (within 24 hours), then the 48-hour initiation window begins. Initiated means we have sent the money on its way; how long it then takes to land depends on your chosen method and provider. When it does not apply Three exclusions, and they are the whole list: Your identity verification (KYC) is incomplete. Complete KYC early — it is the most common reason a first reward stalls. A payment provider or blockchain network outage outside our control. Your reward is under an active rule-breach review. If you believe a reward was initiated late If your reward passed the 48-hour mark after approval, contact support with your account number and the request date. We will check the timestamps and apply the credit if it is owed. The full wording is in section 13 of our Terms. Still need help?

Question 36

How are rewards processed?

Accepted Answer

When your reward cycle comes due, you request it from your dashboard and we send the money to you. Rewards are real money, paid on your simulated account performance. Reward methods You can be paid by: Bank transfer Crypto You choose your method and enter your details in the dashboard. Check them twice — a wrong wallet address or account number is the single most common cause of a delayed reward, and it is the one thing we cannot fix from our side once funds have moved. KYC — once, before your first reward Identity verification happens one time, before your first reward is released. Complete it early rather than on the day you want your money: verification is a document check, not a formality you can skip, and there is nothing to gain by leaving it until the last minute. Once you are verified you never repeat it, no matter how many accounts you run. Before you request, confirm Your minimum trading days are complete, each with the required daily profit for your program Your consistency requirement is satisfied, if your program has one Your account is not sitting on an open rule issue Your reward details and KYC are in place After the reward is sent Requesting a reward does not end your funded account. You carry on trading it under the same rules, and the next cycle starts counting. Amounts, fees and timing Any processing fee, minimum amount or expected timing for your chosen method is shown in the dashboard at the point you request, before you confirm. Those details are attached to the method and country you pick, so read the screen rather than assuming. Still need help?

Question 37

How does the Reward On-Demand add-on work?

Accepted Answer

The standard cycle pays your first reward 14 days after your first trade, then every 14 days after that. The Reward On-Demand add-on takes the fixed calendar out of it, so you are not waiting on a date to collect what you have already earned. Standard versus On-Demand First reward Ongoing Standard 14 days after your first trade Every 14 days On-Demand Requested when you meet your program's funded requirements On request You still have to earn it On-Demand changes when you can ask, not what you have to do. Your program's funded requirements still apply in full: Program Minimum trading days Consistency (funded) 1-Step Standard 5 days, each with at least 0.5% profit 25% 1-Step Pro 4 days, each with at least 0.5% profit None 2-Step Standard 5 days, each with at least 0.5% profit None 2-Step Pro 3 days, each with at least 0.5% profit None 3-Step 5 days, each with at least 0.5% profit 25% Instant 5 days, each with at least 1% profit 20% 1-Step Pay Later 4 days, each with at least 1% profit 30% Your profit split is unchanged: 80% as standard, 100% if you hold that add-on. Is it worth it for you? It suits traders who reach their required days quickly and would rather bank profit than watch it sit in the account. Traders who prefer to let a balance build have less use for it — the standard 14-day cycle costs nothing extra. Getting it On-Demand is bought as an add-on. The price and the exact request conditions are shown at checkout and in your dashboard. Still need help? Our team is on live chat, Discord (https://discord.gg/funded-axe) or support@fundedaxe.com.

Question 38

How do rewards work on an Instant account?

Accepted Answer

Instant skips the evaluation entirely — you are funded from purchase, with no profit target to clear first. The reward rules that follow are specific to Instant. Before your first reward You need 5 trading days, each with at least 1% profit. Days that do not clear 1% do not count toward the five. The No Minimum Trading Days add-on (+20% of the account fee) removes this requirement. Consistency Instant carries a 20% consistency requirement on the funded account. Your profit needs to be spread across your trading rather than resting on one outsized session. Your dashboard tracks where you stand. The cycle Your first reward comes 14 days after your first trade, then every 14 days. The Weekly Reward add-on (+20%) moves that to a first reward at 21 days and every 7 days after. Reward On-Demand is also available as an add-on. Your split 80% as standard, or 100% with the profit split add-on (+20%). Fee refund On Instant, your account fee is returned to you on your 5th reward. The rules that protect the account Maximum drawdown: 6%, end-of-day trailing — the floor updates at the close of each trading day and never moves back down Daily loss: 3%, recalculated at midnight UTC from the higher of balance or equity, including floating P&L Equity Protector: at 2% equity drawdown, losing positions close automatically Minimum hold time: 30 seconds Leverage: 1:50 on Instant Trading period: unlimited Amounts The exact amount available to request on any given cycle is shown in your dashboard.

Question 39

What is the profit split on a funded account?

Accepted Answer

The base profit split at FundedAxe is 80% — yours — on every funded account, every program, from your first reward onward. No tiers to climb, no waiting period before the real split kicks in. Taking it to 100% The 100% Profit Split add-on costs +20% of the account fee and raises your share to 100% of eligible profit. You can add it: At checkout, when you buy the account, or From your dashboard afterwards It applies to every program. What comes out of your reward The split, and nothing hidden behind it. Any processing fee tied to your chosen reward method is shown in the dashboard before you confirm the request. Your fee comes back too The split is not the only money that returns to you. Your account fee is refunded on a set reward: Program type Fee refunded on Upfront programs (1-Step Standard, 1-Step Pro, 2-Step Standard, 2-Step Pro, 3-Step) 3rd reward Pay Later 4th reward Instant 5th reward Other add-ons worth knowing Weekly Reward — +20% No Minimum Trading Days — +20% Free Retry — +25% (one free retry if you breach during the evaluation phase) Still need help?

Question 40

How often can I request a reward?

Accepted Answer

By default your first reward lands 14 days after your first trade on the funded account, and every 14 days after that. Two paid add-ons change the rhythm if that does not suit you. Reward frequency Reward type First reward Ongoing Add-on required? Standard (bi-weekly) 14 days Every 14 days No Weekly 21 days Every 7 days Yes — +20% of the account fee On-Demand On request, once you meet your program's funded requirements On request Yes The clock starts at your first trade on the funded account, not at purchase and not at your first winning day. Weekends and days you do not trade still count toward the cycle — the calendar keeps running whether you do or not. What else has to be true The cycle is a gate, not the only gate.

Question 41

How do I request a reward?

Accepted Answer

Rewards are requested from your FundedAxe dashboard. Log in, open the rewards section for the account you want to withdraw from, and submit. Run through this first Cycle — your first reward is available 14 days after your first trade, then every 14 days (or on the schedule set by the Weekly or On-Demand add-on) Minimum trading days — complete, each day carrying the profit your program requires Consistency — within your program's funded threshold, where one applies KYC — completed; it is required once, before your first reward Reward details — bank or crypto details entered and checked If any of these is outstanding, the request button stays closed. The dashboard tells you which one is holding you up. Minimum trading days and consistency by program Program Minimum trading days Consistency (funded) 1-Step Standard 5 days, each with at least 0.5% profit 25% 1-Step Pro 4 days, each with at least 0.5% profit None 2-Step Standard 5 days, each with at least 0.5% profit None 2-Step Pro 3 days, each with at least 0.5% profit None 3-Step 5 days, each with at least 0.5% profit 25% Instant 5 days, each with at least 1% profit 20% 1-Step Pay Later 4 days, each with at least 1% profit 30% How much can I take? Your dashboard shows the amount available to request on that account, after your split is applied. On trailing-drawdown programs, remember that the withdrawal lowers your balance while your floor stays where it climbed to. What happens next Your request goes for review, then payment by bank transfer or crypto. Processing timing and any fee for your chosen method are shown in the dashboard when you submit. Your account stays open and you keep trading it. Still need help? Our team is on live chat, Discord (https://discord.gg/funded-axe) or support@fundedaxe.com.

Question 42

Are there caps on how much I can withdraw?

Accepted Answer

FundedAxe does not publish a fixed dollar cap per reward, and there is no "first three rewards are capped" ladder to work through. What shapes the size of a reward is your program's own rules. What actually limits a reward Profit in the account. You withdraw from profit above your starting balance, with your split applied — 80%, or 100% with the add-on. Your consistency requirement. Where your program has one, profit has to be spread out rather than concentrated in a single session: Program Consistency on funded 1-Step Standard 25% 3-Step 25% Instant 20% 1-Step Pay Later 30% 1-Step Pro None 2-Step Standard None 2-Step Pro None Your drawdown floor. On trailing programs the floor stays at its high-water mark after a withdrawal, so a large reward leaves you trading closer to it. That is a risk consideration rather than a rule blocking the request, but it is worth weighing. The number that counts Your dashboard shows the exact amount available to request on each account at that moment, with the split already applied. It reflects every rule above, so use it rather than doing the arithmetic yourself. Still need help? Our team is on live chat, Discord (https://discord.gg/funded-axe) or support@fundedaxe.com.

Question 43

When do I get my account fee back?

Accepted Answer

Your account fee is not gone — it comes back to you as a refund on a specific reward, once you have proven the account. Program Fee refunded on 1-Step Standard 3rd reward 1-Step Pro 3rd reward 2-Step Standard 3rd reward 2-Step Pro 3rd reward 3-Step 3rd reward 1-Step Pay Later 4th reward Instant 5th reward In short: every upfront program refunds on your 3rd reward, Pay Later on your 4th, Instant on your 5th. On Pay Later With Pay Later you start for $9.99 and the fee is charged automatically when you pass — fail and you owe nothing beyond that $9.99. The fee that gets refunded on your 4th reward is the one charged at the pass. What counts as a reward Each completed reward on that funded account counts as one reward, in order. The refund is attached to the account it came from, so if you are running several accounts each one tracks its own count. Where to see it Your dashboard shows how many rewards you have taken on each account and where you stand against the refund. The refund arrives with the qualifying reward — there is nothing to claim and nothing to submit. Still need help?

Question 44

How does the funded consistency rule work?

Accepted Answer

Consistency is how we check that a funded account is being traded, not gambled. On the programs that carry it, your profit needs to be spread across your trading rather than resting on one enormous day. Where it applies Program Evaluation Funded 1-Step Standard 50% 25% 1-Step Pro 30% None 3-Step None 25% Instant Funded from day one 20% 1-Step Pay Later None 30% 2-Step Standard None None 2-Step Pro None None A lower percentage is a stricter rule. In practice it means no single trading day should carry more than that share of the profit behind your reward. Keeping on the right side of it Size positions so that one session cannot dwarf the rest of your record Take the required minimum trading days seriously — they exist for the same reason Check your consistency score in the dashboard before you request, not after What happens if you are outside it You are not breached and your account is not closed — consistency is not a drawdown rule. The reward request simply is not available until your profit distribution comes back inside the threshold, which it does as you keep trading. Where the live number lives Your dashboard shows the consistency score for each account as it stands right now, and the exact calculation applied to your program. That figure is the one that governs your request. Still need help? Our team is on live chat, Discord (https://discord.gg/funded-axe) or support@fundedaxe.com.

Question 45

Can I get a refund on my purchase?

Accepted Answer

Yes, within a cooling-off window — and this is a different thing from the fee refund funded traders earn. The 14-day cooling-off period An evaluation purchase may be eligible for a full refund within 14 days of purchase, provided the trading account has not been accessed, activated or logged into. Logging in once ends eligibility, so if you are unsure about a purchase, do not open the account while you decide. Two different refunds, do not mix them up Type What it is Purchase refund Your money back within 14 days, if the account was never accessed.

Question 47

How much leverage do I get, and how large can my positions be?

Accepted Answer

Leverage Account Leverage All evaluation and funded accounts 1:100 Instant 1:50 What really caps your size Leverage sets what you are able to open. Your risk numbers set what you should open — and those are the lines that actually close accounts: Daily loss limit — recalculated at midnight UTC from the higher of your balance or your equity, and it includes floating P&L. An open position eats into your day whether or not you have closed it. Max drawdown — static or trailing depending on your program. See /rules for your exact figures. Equity Protector — on funded accounts, losing positions are closed automatically at 2% equity drawdown, a line that sits inside every program's daily loss limit. One-sided risk exposure is banned on funded accounts. Stacking your whole account into a single directional bet is not a strategy we fund. Your program's exact target, daily loss limit and max drawdown are shown in your dashboard alongside your live figures. Still need help?

Question 48

What platform do I trade on, and what markets can I trade?

Accepted Answer

Every FundedAxe account — evaluation and funded — runs on Platform 5. Download MT5 from the official MetaQuotes site (desktop, web or mobile), then log in with the account number, password and server shown in your dashboard. Which instruments are available The instruments quoted in your MT5 Market Watch are the instruments you can trade. That list, live in your own platform, is the authoritative one — no separate sheet to cross-reference. What the platform allows Expert Advisors (EAs) — allowed. Overnight and weekend holding — allowed. News trading — allowed everywhere. On funded accounts, profit from trades opened or closed within 5 minutes of a high-impact news release may be removed. Leverage — 1:100, or 1:50 on Instant. What is banned on every account HFT and latency arbitrage Copy trading across accounts, including between your own accounts One-sided risk exposure on funded accounts Closing trades faster than the minimum hold time — 3 minutes on evaluations and the Pay Later challenge, 30 seconds on Pay Later funded accounts and Instant The full rulebook is at /rules.

Question 49

How is the daily loss limit calculated, and when does it reset?

Accepted Answer

When it resets Your daily loss limit recalculates at midnight UTC, every day. That is your reset. There is no session close to beat and no forced flat. What it is measured from At the reset, the limit is set from the higher of your balance or your equity. Whichever is greater at midnight UTC becomes the reference your day is measured against. Floating P&L counts Unrealised profit and loss counts toward the daily limit. An open position deep in the red can breach your day exactly as a closed one can — it does not have to be closed to count. This is the single most common way traders lose an account by surprise, so watch your equity, not just your balance. Your limit by program Program Daily loss limit 1-Step Standard 4% 1-Step Pro 3% 2-Step Standard 5% 2-Step Pro 5% 3-Step 5% Instant 3% 1-Step Pay Later 5% on the challenge, 3% once funded If you breach it Breaching your daily loss limit — or your max drawdown — closes that account. There is no penalty beyond the closed account: no debt, no clawback. Free Retry add-on (+25% of the account fee) — one free retry if the breach happened during the evaluation phase. Pay Later — 72 hours after a breach to buy a reset at 40% of the fee. The guardrail on funded accounts Equity Protector closes losing positions automatically at 2% equity drawdown on funded accounts — a line that sits inside every program's daily loss limit.

Question 50

Pay Later: Reset Fee Policy

Accepted Answer

Breached a Pay Later account? You do not have to start again from scratch. Pay the reset fee inside the window and you carry on with a fresh balance and new credentials. Resets are available on Pay Later accounts only. Programs paid upfront do not have a reset option. You are prompted to pay the reset fee automatically once the account has breached. There is no obligation to take it — it is simply a cheaper way back in than buying a new challenge at full price. Reset fee pricing A reset costs 40% of the fee for your account size. Account size Program fee Reset fee (40%) $10K $93 $37.20 $25K $185 $74.00 $50K $280 $112.00 $100K $525 $210.00 $200K $1,025 $410.00 $300K $1,595 $638.00 $400K $1,940 $776.00 The exact figure is shown on the reset prompt in your dashboard before you pay anything. How the reset works You have 72 hours from the breach to pay the reset fee. Once payment clears you are issued new account credentials. Your balance is reset to the starting amount and all previous trading activity is cleared. Clean slate. The new account is the same size as the one that breached. Rules after a reset Nothing loosens and nothing tightens. Your 1-Step Pay Later account continues under the same Code: Rule Challenge Funded Profit target 3% — Max drawdown 8% static 5% trailing Daily loss 5% 3% Minimum trading days none 4 days at 1% profit or more Consistency none 30% Minimum hold time 3 minutes 30 seconds Important notes A reset applies to an account closed by a daily loss or max drawdown breach. That is the only penalty for those breaches — the account closes, and nothing else happens to you. Accounts closed because of a prohibited practice (HFT, latency arbitrage, cross-account copy trading, one-sided risk exposure on funded accounts) are handled under our Terms rather than by reset. Every other rule on the Rules page continues to apply after the reset. Still need help? Our team is on live chat, Discord (https://discord.gg/funded-axe) or support@fundedaxe.com.

Question 51

What Add-Ons Does FundedAxe Offer, and How Do They Work?

Accepted Answer

Add-ons let you shape the account around the way you actually trade. Each one is priced as a percentage of your account fee and is selected at checkout. Add-on Price What it changes 100% Profit Split +20% You keep 100% of the profit instead of 80% Weekly Reward +20% First reward at 21 days, then every 7 days No Minimum Trading Days +20% Removes the minimum trading day requirement Free Retry +25% One free retry if you breach during the evaluation 100% Profit Split Add-On What it does: raises your split from the standard 80% to 100%, so every reward comes to you whole. Who it is for: traders who want to maximise the spoils from the very first reward rather than growing into a better split later. Weekly Reward Add-On What it does: moves you off the standard fortnightly cycle. Your first reward can be requested 21 days after your first trade. After that you can request a reward every 7 days. Who it is for: traders who want profit off the account and into their own hands more often. No Minimum Trading Days Add-On What it does: removes the minimum trading day requirement, so you can complete the evaluation as soon as you hit the profit target and satisfy the other conditions — no waiting out extra sessions. For reference, here is what the requirement looks like without the add-on: Program Minimum trading days 1-Step Standard 5 days at 0.5% profit or more, both stages 1-Step Pro 4 days at 0.5% or more 2-Step Standard 5 days at 0.5% or more per phase, plus funded 2-Step Pro 3 days at 0.5% or more 3-Step 5 days at 0.5% or more Instant 5 days at 1% or more 1-Step Pay Later none in the challenge, 4 days at 1% or more when funded Who it is for: traders with fast setups who do not want a calendar standing between them and a funded account. Free Retry Add-On What it does: gives you a second attempt at no extra cost if you breach during the evaluation phase. You restart without buying a new challenge. Note: Free Retry covers a breach in the evaluation phase. It does not apply once you are on a funded account. Reward schedules at a glance Setup First reward Then Standard 14 days after your first trade every 14 days Weekly Reward Add-On 21 days after your first trade every 7 days An on-demand reward option is also available — the Rewards page has the current detail. Buying add-ons Add-ons are chosen at checkout when you buy the account, and the total is recalculated in front of you before you confirm.

Question 52

How Is the Fee Refund Processed for Funded Traders?

Accepted Answer

Your account fee is not gone — it comes back to you as a reward milestone. Trade well, follow the Code, and the money you paid to get in is returned. When your fee is refunded Program Fee refunded on 1-Step Standard 3rd reward 1-Step Pro 3rd reward 2-Step Standard 3rd reward 2-Step Pro 3rd reward 3-Step 3rd reward 1-Step Pay Later 4th reward Instant 5th reward How it is paid The refund is processed alongside your regular reward, so there is no separate request to make and no extra waiting period. It lands with the reward that triggers it. Reminder on the reward cycle itself: your first reward can be requested 14 days after your first trade, then every 14 days (or 21 days then every 7 with the Weekly Reward add-on). Rewards are paid by bank transfer or crypto, and KYC is completed once, before your first reward. Refunds on a purchase This article is about the fee refund earned by funded traders.

Question 53

How Does the Reset Fee Work?

Accepted Answer

If your Pay Later account breaches by hitting a drawdown limit, you can keep going by buying a reset instead of a brand-new account. The reset option is open for 72 hours after the breach. Resets are offered on Pay Later accounts only. How it works 1. Your account breaches the daily loss or max drawdown limit and closes. That closure is the whole penalty — there is nothing further to pay and nothing held against you. 2. You are prompted to reset. The clock is 72 hours from the breach. 3. You pay 40% of the fee for your account size. 4. A new account of the same size is issued with fresh credentials and the balance back at the starting amount. Previous trading activity is cleared. Reset pricing Account size Program fee Reset fee (40%) $10K $93 $37.20 $25K $185 $74.00 $50K $280 $112.00 $100K $525 $210.00 $200K $1,025 $410.00 $300K $1,595 $638.00 $400K $1,940 $776.00 What if I paid upfront? Programs bought upfront — 1-Step Standard, 1-Step Pro, 2-Step Standard, 2-Step Pro, 3-Step and Instant — do not have a reset. If you want cover against an evaluation breach on those, add Free Retry (+25%) at checkout: it gives you one free retry if you breach during the evaluation phase. After the reset Your rules are unchanged. On 1-Step Pay Later that means a 3% target, 8% static max drawdown and a 5% daily loss in the challenge, moving to a 5% trailing max drawdown and a 3% daily loss once funded, with a 30% consistency rule on the funded account. Minimum hold time stays at 3 minutes in the challenge and 30 seconds when funded. Accounts closed for a prohibited practice rather than a drawdown breach are handled under our Terms. Still need help?

Question 54

Do You Offer Discount Codes or Promotions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There are two public codes, and they are applied at checkout. The current public codes WELCOME55 — 55% off your first purchase. LAUNCH50 — 50% off, the standing code for every purchase after that. If this is your first FundedAxe account, use WELCOME55 — it is the larger discount. Only one code applies per purchase. The code is shown at checkout, so you do not have to hunt for it. Enter it in the discount field, and the recalculated total appears before you confirm the purchase. How to use it 1. Choose your program and account size on the Challenges page. 2. Add any add-ons you want — 100% Profit Split (+20%), Weekly Reward (+20%), No Minimum Trading Days (+20%), Free Retry (+25%). 3. Enter the code at checkout. 4. Check the total shown on screen. That figure is what you pay. Things worth knowing Always confirm the price displayed at checkout before paying — that total, not any figure quoted elsewhere, is what is charged. Discounts change the price of the account. They do not change the rules, targets, drawdown limits or reward schedule for the program you bought. On Pay Later you start for $9.99 and the fee is charged automatically when you pass, so the economics are different from an upfront purchase. The amount you will be charged on passing is shown before you buy. For questions about a code that will not apply, send us the code and the account you are trying to buy and we will look at it directly. Still need help?

Question 55

Why Should I Choose FundedAxe Over Other Proprietary Trading Firms?

Accepted Answer

Plenty of firms will sell you a challenge. Fewer will hand you rules you can actually read and a path to keeping everything you make. Here is where we stand. A split you can take to 100% Every FundedAxe trader starts on an 80% profit split. Add the 100% Profit Split add-on (+20% of the fee) and you keep the lot — every reward, from the first one. Your fee comes back Pass, trade, get paid, and the money you spent to get in is returned to you alongside a reward: Upfront programs (1-Step Standard, 1-Step Pro, 2-Step Standard, 2-Step Pro, 3-Step) — 3rd reward 1-Step Pay Later — 4th reward Instant — 5th reward No clock on the evaluation The trading period is unlimited on every program. There is no deadline pushing you into trades you would not otherwise take. Hit the target when your setups appear, not when a countdown says so. Prove yourself first, pay later Our Pay Later route starts at $9.99. The fee is charged automatically when you pass. Fail and you owe nothing beyond that dollar. Sizes run $10K to $400K, 1-Step. Trade the way you trade News trading is allowed everywhere. On funded accounts, profit from trades opened or closed within 5 minutes of a high-impact release may be removed — the trade itself is not forbidden. Expert Advisors are allowed. Weekend and overnight holding are allowed. What is banned is short and specific: HFT, latency arbitrage, cross-account copy trading (including between your own accounts), and one-sided risk exposure on funded accounts. Equity Protector on funded accounts On a funded account, when equity drawdown reaches 2%, losing positions are closed automatically. One bad session should not cost you the account. Rules written to be understood Targets, drawdowns, daily loss, minimum trading days and consistency are published per program on the Rules page. The daily loss recalculates at midnight UTC from the higher of balance or equity and includes floating P&L — stated plainly, because that is the rule that catches people out. Evaluations and funded accounts are simulated environments on Platform 5. Rewards are real money, paid by bank transfer or crypto, based on your simulated performance. We would rather say that than dress it up. A crew, not a queue Our Discord is where traders compare setups, ask about rules and get answers from the team. Live chat and email are open too. Ready?

Question 56

Do I Need to Be an Expert Trader to Join FundedAxe?

Accepted Answer

No. There is no experience requirement and no application to be judged. What the evaluation measures is whether you can hit a target while respecting risk limits — and that is a skill you can build. Who joins New traders learning position sizing and discipline in a simulated environment. Intermediate traders who want to prove consistency and manage a larger account. Experienced traders after the largest sizes and the fastest route to rewards. What actually helps Understand the drawdown rules before your first trade. Max drawdown and daily loss are the two things that close accounts. Daily loss recalculates at midnight UTC from the higher of balance or equity, and it counts floating P&L — an open loser can breach you. Use the unlimited trading period. No program has a deadline, so there is no reason to force a trade. Start with a size you are comfortable with. Accounts run from $5K to $400K. Nobody has to start at the top. Consider Pay Later. Start for $9.99, pay the fee only when you pass. It is the cheapest way to find out where you stand. Mind the minimum hold time. Trades must be held at least 3 minutes on evaluations and the Pay Later challenge, and 30 seconds on Pay Later funded accounts and Instant. Choosing a program that suits your level Softer targets with tighter daily limits, or bigger targets with more room — it is a real choice, not a formality. The Challenges page lists the target, max drawdown, daily loss, minimum trading days and consistency rule for each program side by side. Can a newer trader pass? Yes — if the risk rules are respected. Passing is not about a heroic week. It is about staying inside the limits long enough for a normal edge to reach the target, with no clock forcing your hand.

What Is FundedAxe?

Accepted Answer

FundedAxe is a proprietary trading firm. You prove your edge on an evaluation; when you pass, we back you with a funded account and pay you a share of what you make.

Question 58

What Evaluation Options Are Available at FundedAxe?

Accepted Answer

Seven routes to a funded account. Every one of them has an unlimited trading period — there is no deadline on any FundedAxe program. Program Profit target Max drawdown Daily loss Minimum trading days Consistency 1-Step Standard 10% 7% static (challenge) → 7% trailing (funded) 4% 5 @ 0.5%/day, both stages 50% eval / 25% funded 1-Step Pro 8% 6% static (challenge) → 6% trailing (funded) 3% 4 @ 0.5%/day 30% eval / none funded 2-Step Standard 8% then 5% 10% static, all stages 5% 5 @ 0.5%/day per phase + funded none 2-Step Pro 7% then 5% 8% static, all stages 5% 3 @ 0.5%/day none 3-Step 6% / 6% / 6% 8% static, all stages 5% 5 @ 0.5%/day none eval / 25% funded Instant none — funded immediately 6% EOD trailing 3% 5 @ 1%/day 20% funded 1-Step Pay Later 3% 8% static (challenge) → 5% trailing (funded) 5% challenge → 3% funded 0 challenge / 4 @ 1%/day funded none eval / 30% funded 1-Step Standard One phase, a 10% target, a 7% static max drawdown during the challenge that becomes a 7% trailing drawdown once funded, and a 4% daily loss. Five qualifying trading days of 0.5% or more apply in both stages. Consistency is 50% during the evaluation and 25% when funded. 1-Step Pro The tighter one-phase route: an 8% target against a 6% max drawdown (static in the challenge, trailing when funded) and a 3% daily loss.

Question 59

How Do I Join FundedAxe?

Accepted Answer

Four steps from browsing to trading. Step 1: Choose your route FundedAxe Pro — pay upfront 1-Step Standard — 10% target, 7% max drawdown, 4% daily loss 1-Step Pro — 8% target, 6% max drawdown, 3% daily loss 2-Step Standard — 8% then 5%, 10% static max drawdown, 5% daily loss 2-Step Pro — 7% then 5%, 8% static max drawdown, 5% daily loss 3-Step — 6% per phase, 8% static max drawdown, 5% daily loss Instant — no evaluation, funded immediately, 6% EOD trailing drawdown, 3% daily loss Pay Later — start for $9.99 Start the 1-Step challenge for $9.99 and the fee is charged automatically when you pass. Fail and you owe nothing more. Pay Later is 1-Step only. Then pick your account size. Every program runs from $5,000 to $400,000. Step 2: Add-ons and checkout At checkout you can shape the account: 100% Profit Split — +20% of the fee Weekly Reward — +20% No Minimum Trading Days — +20% Free Retry — +25% (one free retry if you breach during the evaluation) Use the public code LAUNCH50 for 50% off — it is shown at checkout. Payment options are listed on the checkout page; the total you see before confirming is the amount charged. Step 3: Credentials and platform Your account is created after payment and your login details are emailed to you. Platform: Platform 5, on desktop, web and mobile. Leverage: 1:100 (1:50 on Instant). Trading period: unlimited — start when you are ready. Before your first trade, read the two rules that close most accounts: the daily loss limit (recalculated at midnight UTC from the higher of balance or equity, floating P&L included) and the max drawdown for your program. Also note the minimum hold time — 3 minutes on evaluations and the Pay Later challenge, 30 seconds on Pay Later funded accounts and Instant. Step 4: Pass, and get funded Hit the target, stay inside the limits, meet the minimum trading days and any consistency rule, and your funded account is issued. From there: first reward 14 days after your first trade, then every 14 days. Split 80%, or 100% with the add-on. Your fee comes back on the 3rd reward for upfront programs, the 4th on Pay Later, the 5th on Instant. KYC once, before your first reward. If you breach: the account closes, and that is the end of it — there is no further penalty. If you bought the Free Retry add-on, you get one free retry on an evaluation breach. On Pay Later, you have 72 hours to buy a reset at 40% of the fee. Otherwise, start a new challenge whenever you like.

Question 60

Can Beginners Join FundedAxe?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There is no experience gate on any FundedAxe program. Getting started as a beginner The evaluation is a test of risk management as much as profitability: hit the target without breaching the daily loss or max drawdown. Those are habits you can build, and the environment is simulated, so your exposure is the fee you paid — not market losses. Tips for new traders Start small. Accounts begin at $5K. Build confidence before you scale. Try Pay Later. Start for $9.99 and pay the fee only when you pass. A cheap way to see whether your plan survives contact with the rules. Take your time. The trading period is unlimited on every program. No deadline, no reason to force trades. Learn the daily loss rule first. It recalculates at midnight UTC from the higher of balance or equity and includes floating P&L, so an open losing position can breach you before you close it. Respect the minimum hold time. 3 minutes on evaluations and the Pay Later challenge; 30 seconds on Pay Later funded accounts and Instant. Check the consistency rule for your program. Some programs cap how much of your profit a single day may contribute. It is listed per program on the Rules page. If you breach The account closes. That is the whole penalty — nothing further is owed and nothing is held against you. You can buy another challenge, use the Free Retry add-on if you bought it, or, on Pay Later, take the 72-hour reset at 40% of the fee. Where to ask questions Our Discord is open, and so is live chat.

Question 63

Can I choose my own broker?

Accepted Answer

Why the broker and platform are fixed Every FundedAxe evaluation and funded account runs on Platform 5, through the broker environment we provide. You cannot point a FundedAxe account at your own broker, and there is no second platform to pick from. That is a deliberate choice, not a limitation we are hiding: One set of conditions for everyone. Same feed, same execution, same spreads. Nobody passes or fails because their broker was kinder than yours. Rules that can actually be checked. Drawdown, daily loss, minimum hold time and consistency are all measured off one clean stream of trade data. One thing to support. When something looks wrong on your account, our team is looking at the same platform you are. What this means in practice Download Platform 5, log in with the credentials issued for your account, and trade. Leverage is 1:100 on our programs, and 1:50 on Instant. Accounts are simulated (demo) environments. Your performance is simulated; the rewards you earn from it are real money. There is no time limit on any FundedAxe program, so you are never racing the clock while you get comfortable with the platform. Still need help?

Question 64

What is the largest account size I can be funded on?

Accepted Answer

The ceiling on a single account The biggest account FundedAxe issues is $400,000. Account sizes run $5K, $10K, $25K, $50K, $100K, $200K, $300K and $400K, and that range is the same whether you pay upfront with FundedAxe Pro or start for $9.99 with Pay Later. Can I go past $400K? Growth beyond the standard sizes is handled through our scaling programme. The terms are being finalised, so ask support for the figures that apply to your account rather than planning around any number you see quoted elsewhere. Running more than one account Nothing here stops you holding several accounts at once. Two things to know before you stack them: Each account is judged entirely on its own — its own target, its own drawdown, its own minimum trading days. Copy trading between your own accounts is banned. Mirroring the same trades across a stack of FundedAxe accounts is a breach, not a strategy. We do not publish a combined-allocation figure in this article. If you are planning to hold several large accounts at the same time, read the Terms or ask support first — better to check than to find out afterwards. Still need help?
