Every Axion challenge runs on a clear set of rules that are visible before you buy. This article explains what each rule means and lists the exact values for the Instant, 1-Step and 2-Step models.
Key terms explained
- Profit target — The profit you need to reach to pass an evaluation phase, shown as a percentage of your starting balance. Funded accounts have no profit target.
- Daily loss limit — The most your account may lose in a single trading day, measured from your balance/equity at the start of that day. Breaching it ends the account.
- Maximum loss limit — The lowest your account may fall overall. Breaching it ends the account.
- Static drawdown — Your maximum loss level is fixed from your starting balance and does not move up as you make profit.
- Minimum trading days — The number of separate days you must place at least one trade before passing a phase or requesting a reward. Every Axion model uses 5.
- Consistency rule — On funded accounts, your single best trading day cannot make up more than the stated percentage of your total profit when you request a reward.
- Leverage — Fixed at 1:100 across all models.
- Reward (profit) split — Your share of simulated profit on a funded account, paid as a reward under the program terms.

How a breach works
Exceeding your daily loss limit or your maximum loss limit breaches the account and ends the challenge. If you'd like a safety net, the Reset Protection add-on includes one free reset. You can also raise your limits with the Extra Drawdown add-on.
Good to know
- Evaluation time is unlimited — there is no maximum number of trading days.
- By default, positions must be closed before the weekend and high-impact news trading is restricted. Both can be enabled with add-ons.
- Full legal terms are on the Challenge Rules page.
All Axion accounts are simulated. Balances are virtual, and reward splits are paid under the program terms.
