20 to 50 trades per stage. A consistency score. A hard -7% max loss. Axi Select rewards exactly the profile a disciplined EA produces and a tired human struggles to fake.
No challenge fee. Real account from $500. Staged funding up to $1M. And no, none of that makes it easy: it makes it honest.
Axi Select is Axi's capital allocation program. You open a live account with your own deposit (from $500), you trade it, and Axi allocates capital alongside you as you climb stages: from a $5,000 allocation at Seed up to $1M at Pro M, with profit share rising from 0% to 80%.
There is no challenge fee to lose and re-buy. The flip side is real: it is your own money at risk, the early stages pay little or nothing, and advancing takes months of consistent trading, not one lucky week.
That trade-off is the whole point. A challenge model sells you speed and profits when you fail. A broker model pays for consistency and profits when you trade. Pick the incentive structure you want to live inside.
Current program criteria as published by Axi (July 2026). Always confirm the live version on Axi's site before you commit: programs change.
| Stage | Max funding | Profit share | Min equity | Edge Score | Profit target | Min days | Trades/stage | Max loss |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seed | $5,000 | 0% | $500 | 50 | 7% | 30 | 20 | -7% |
| Incubation | $20,000 | 40% | $1,000 | 60 | 7% | 60 | 40 | -7% |
| Acceleration | $100,000 | 50% | $2,000 | 70 | 7% | 60 | 50 | -7% |
| Pro | $200,000 | 60% | $5,000 | 90 | 7% | 60 | 50 | -7% |
| Pro 500 | $500,000 | 70% | $10,000 | 90 | 7% | 60 | 50 | -7% |
| Pro M | $1,000,000 | 80% | $20,000 | 90 | 0% | 0 | 0 | -10% |
Leverage: up to 1:1000 at Seed, 1:100 from Incubation onward. Max funding multiplier grows from x10 (Seed) to x50 (Pro 500 / Pro M).
A conservative manual trader grinds for weeks to log 50 clean trades. Alpha Pulse running a small portfolio generates them as a byproduct of normal operation. The requirement that exhausts humans is the one the EA does not even notice.
One bad day can end the stage. Prop Firm Mode caps total loss at 6.3% (a 10% cushion under Axi's cap) and adds a self-imposed 3% daily budget that Axi does not even ask for. Losing 3% in a day hurts. Losing 7% ends the conversation.
Axi scores how you trade: risk management and consistency, not lucky streaks. Same risk per trade, stops always in place, no revenge doubling at 2am. That profile is hard for a human to sustain for 60 days and trivial for a supervised EA.
With the Prop Firm Steady preset, the remaining loss budget and the news calendar are part of the AI's decision context. Near a limit it sizes down instead of swinging for the fences. That behavior is exactly what a consistency score rewards.
Plenty of traders sign up for funded programs, deposit nothing or deposit and freeze, and never place a trade. The account sits there while they wait to feel ready. Nobody fails the program; they just never start it.
The stage requirements are literally a schedule: minimum days, minimum trades, a target, a loss cap. What kills most attempts is not the market. It is inconsistency and inactivity.
This is the one problem an EA genuinely solves. It shows up every session, follows the same rules on day 43 as on day 1, and builds the trade history the program requires while you live your life. You still choose the risk. It just executes without moods.
Type these into the Prop Firm Mode section (Section 6) of the EA inputs. There is no .set file to download, on purpose: loading one would wipe your API keys and your configuration. Two minutes of typing, zero surprises.
| Input | Value | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Daily Loss Limit Mode | PERCENT | Axi imposes no daily cap. This one is self-imposed. |
| Daily Loss Value | 3.0 | Protects the Edge Score and stops one bad day from eating half the -7% budget. |
| Max Overall Loss Mode | PERCENT | Axi cap is -7% per stage (permanent stop). |
| Max Overall Loss Value | 6.3 | A 10% cushion under the cap. The EA stops before Axi has a reason to. |
| Challenge Initial Balance | 0 | Snapshot taken automatically at activation. |
| News Blackout ±Minutes | 2 | Optional on Axi Select, kept on for cleaner history and calmer fills. |
| Blackout Trigger Impact | High only | Only high-impact releases pause trading. |
| Close Before Weekend | OFF | Axi Select allows holding over the weekend. Turn ON only if you prefer flat weekends. |
| Randomize SL/TP ±5% | ON | Your fills should not mirror another customer tick for tick. |
| AI Sees Economic Calendar | ON (default) | Budget and news become part of the AI's decision context. |
| Strategy Preset | Prop Firm Steady | Budget-aware preset: risk steps down as you approach a limit. |
These are starting values with cushions, not magic numbers. Your deposit size and stage do not change them: the limits are percentages.
If you want a guaranteed pass, this page cannot help you. Nothing legitimate can.
Yes, EAs are permitted. What Axi's rules actually police is mirrored trading: accounts copying someone else's trades. Alpha Pulse does not work that way. Each license runs its own AI decision engine on your account, with your settings, your risk and your market context, so no two instances produce the same trade history (the SL/TP randomization adds another layer on top). Scalping is prohibited on Axi Select; Alpha Pulse is not a scalper. Rules can change, so always check the current program terms before you deposit.
No. Alpha Pulse is a licensed EA you run on your own MT5 account with your own settings and your own API keys. Your account, your risk, your decisions.
Yes, $500 is the Seed minimum equity. It is calibration money: 0% profit share, small sizing, the goal is a clean 30-day record with 20+ trades, not income.
The stage ends and you restart. That is why the EA stops at 6.3% instead: a controlled stop you walk away from beats a breach that resets the clock. A reset is a plan adjustment, not a personal failure.
No. The Edge Score reflects your account's actual trading. What the EA provides is the raw material a good score is made of: consistent sizing, stops always in place, no emotional spirals. The score itself is Axi's math on your results.
Because loading a .set file replaces your entire configuration, including your API keys. Eleven typed values are safer than one file that silently wipes your setup.
Open the account, fund the Seed stage, type in the Section 6 values above, and let the schedule work. The program rewards consistency. The EA is consistency.
