Trading Rules

Each firm’s daily and maximum loss limits, as the firm sets them. Each firm’s profile says how its limits are measured.

2 firms
Daily loss limitAcross the firm's programsNot listed3% to 5%
Max loss limitAcross the firm's programsNot listed6% to 8%
Daily drawdownNo daily loss limit is set in the Axi Select Program Rules.
3% on Zero and Standard, 5% on Swing, 4% in the Nova evaluation and 3% on funded Nova. Measured from the greater of the previous day's closing balance or closing equity, resets at midnight UTC, and counts floating losses, swaps and commissions.
Max drawdown
Maximum loss of 7% on the Allocation Account at every stage from Seed to Pro 500, and 10% at Pro M, measured in real time including open positions and fixed at the Allocation Account balance at the start of the stage, so it does not trail. Breaching it closes open Allocation Account positions; at Incubation and Acceleration the account goes into a one week quarantine, while at Seed and the Pro stages the account is removed and the trader restarts from Seed. A third quarantine also sends the trader back to Seed.
Static for Orion Standard (6%) and Orion Swing (8%), fixed from the initial balance. Trailing lock for Orion Zero (6%) and Orion Nova (8% in evaluation, 5% funded): the floor follows the balance upward and locks at the funded starting balance once the first payout is approved.
Minimum trading days
Minimum stage duration of 30 days at Seed and 60 days at Incubation, Acceleration, Pro and Pro 500, with 20, 40 or 50 trades required per stage.
4 trading days in each evaluation for Standard and Swing; none for Zero and Nova; none on any funded account
Time limitNo maximum time limit is stated.Unlimited on all programs; accounts with no trades for 30 consecutive calendar days expire
News tradingThe program rules and terms do not mention a news trading restriction.
No timing restrictions during any evaluation, but news trading used as a strategy is prohibited on all programs. Funded Nova and Standard accounts may not open, close or modify trades from 2 minutes before to 2 minutes after a high impact event. Funded Swing accounts have no restriction. Orion Zero allows it, but trades opened or closed within 5 minutes of a high impact event are rewarded at 50% instead of 80%.
Overnight and weekends
No holding restriction is stated, but profit share is only paid when the Allocation Account has no open positions at the end of the calendar month; keeping a position open defers the payout.
Overnight and weekend holding allowed on every program in evaluation and funded stages. Opening trades specifically to capture price gaps is prohibited.
EAs and copy trading
Own Expert Advisors are allowed. An EA built by someone else, or supplied to others, may only generate signals and trades must be placed manually. Automated copy trading and copying another trader's trades are prohibited. Scalping is prohibited and can lead to removal from the program.
EAs are permitted only for risk and trade management (stop loss, take profit, break even, trailing stops, partial closes, position sizing, drawdown protection). Third party EAs, signal generating or autonomous bots, HFT, tick scalping and automated copy trading are prohibited, and automation above 2,000 server requests a day is not allowed. Copy trading is allowed only between accounts owned by the same person; external copy services are prohibited.
Consistency rule
No separate consistency rule. Progression depends on the Edge Score, a weighted measure of skill, risk and consistency adjusted for experience.
Best Day Rule of 20% on Orion Zero and on funded Orion Nova accounts: the best single day may not exceed 20% of total profit in the reward cycle before a reward can be requested. No Best Day Rule on Standard, Swing or the Nova evaluation.

Payouts

When and how each firm pays once you are funded.

2 firms
Profit split0% at Seed, 40% at Incubation, 50% at Acceleration, 60% at Pro, 70% at Pro 500 and 80% at Pro M80% on all programs, rising to 90% after qualifying for the scaling plan
First payout
Profit share starts at Incubation, which requires completing Seed (at least 30 days, 20 unique trades, a 7% Allocation Account gain), an Edge Score of 60 and $1,000 of equity. A payment is made after a calendar month in which the Allocation Account ends above its starting amount with no open positions. Withdrawing from the Axi Select account during the month forfeits that month's profit share.
The first reward can be requested only after the first 14 day period has passed, even if the account is already in profit, and the minimum request is $100. On Zero and Nova funded accounts the first 3% of profit is a buffer that cannot be withdrawn. Approved rewards carry a 48 hour processing guarantee (full reward plus program fee refund if missed, subject to listed exclusions). Program fee refunded on the fourth successful reward.
Payout frequencyMonthly, credited automatically on the first day of each calendar monthEvery 14 calendar days

Scaling plan
Six stages with maximum funding of $5,000 (Seed), $20,000 (Incubation), $100,000 (Acceleration), $200,000 (Pro), $500,000 (Pro 500) and $1,000,000 (Pro M). The allocation is the trader's own equity multiplied by a stage multiplier of x10 to x50, capped at the stage maximum. Minimum equity rises from $500 to $20,000 and the Edge Score requirement from 50 to 90. Deposits made during a stage do not raise the allocation.
Available on all funded programs. Qualifying requires a 15% return over a rolling three month period, at least two of three months positive and at least three reward requests. Each qualifying cycle adds 25% to the account balance and moves the split to 90%, up to a maximum allocation of $4,000,000.
