{quote} Just filled out the account application and it looks suspicious, country selection is in French and UK is missing... Could be a scam site?!
I think I will chat with axi and they should confirm immediately if this is part of the same company. My gut is screaming scam. Take a big broker name, change the name a bit and create a website.

{quote} If you can pass the test than this is good. I read that there is also an option to insure your trade. They insure it by hedging it using options I read, I do not know what the cost of this is.
I don't think they are that sophisticated!

Interesting detail is why do they charge commissions on what is effectively their own account?
They just hedge every trade automomously with no commission costs to themselves, if it loses so what? If the trade wins, hey we'll take that round trip thank you very much, add it to your fee....tax write off, genius.

The insurance is for real accounts not related to prop trading. I do not know if there are many brokers that are offering this service, cost of this is very important but I don't know how much the cost is.

I think it is a very sophisticated scam, it's part French or French Canadian with some links that have been missed. Even though it's supposed to be UK English?

No they don't offer insurance (if it is a real account) and if you think you need it, don't trade, get more experience. Takes years..

Well the real axi is now aware of it. If it is legit, I'm in immediately, but I have exactly ZERO confidence that it is.

Regarding Axi, I may have missed something, but I would not say that they are automatically a scam just because of the name, unless they are claiming to be associated with the original group. That being said, they are allowing 25% draw-down on a 400K account, which is certainly a red flag.

axifundings.com is a fake / spoof site an not part of AXI Group. They are pretending to be them and are not them, using their links and registration details etc.

I was just given a tip for the ones who have enough funding, I read this also yesterday on this forum.

I find the test for the funding not that easy, 100% in one month.

I noticed they weren't allowing US citizens which is in line with the real Axi but they ARE claiming association with the real AXI, look at their about us page. What a scam.

No it is not easy and they are designed to make you fail even if you have a decent strategy and are professional. Some days you just have bad runs, nothing you can do about it. If you get a dull string of trades you lose.

IF you can afford to lose the cost of a challenge and have a very solid method/routine to trade with the account and keep it forever after you have passed then it's worth it. If not don't waste your money and believe in the hype... passing these challenges is just the start. It's a grind.

We do need more than MFF though and while FTMO have this silly news rule I can't risk it with them, so currently I am exposed only to MFF, which is a concern.
I'm sure you know that FTMO has a swing account allowing trading news. You can't get around with just 1:30 leverage ?
This is honest question, I'm usually only around 1:5, sometimes more (but not much more), sometimes less. That depends very much on the trading style, of course.

I think that only 1 of 100 participants succeed in this challenges. Maybe the ratio is even much lower. Let’s say for 100 k account. You have to pay 500. So they collect 50000. And the succeeded one gets 10000 account in reality. If that trader remains strong than that 10 k could also deliver them money. But I think they count a large percentage of it as loss
Difficult to say because there aren't audited stats but relying on MFF February stats it seems 31% pass phase 1 and 14% second phase. In
December phase 1 was aprox the same but phase 2 was 18%. So, if this is true only about 4.5% to 5.5% get to funded.
Then only 4% of new funded get to a profit split in the first month.

Why does phase 2 has a lower pass rate ? Target is more than 2x the stop loss and there's more time...

3) And best thing. They can copy trades of their best traders without they know getting 100% of generated profit
That's the biggest challenge because a business model based on subscriptions fees to pay profits can be ruined by a couple of successful traders.
Algorithms that separate the lucky trader from the winning trader is paramount in this business. Small and incumbent props have a more difficult life . They have much less data to work on and outliers can be a problem.
FTMO or MFF are now sitting in a huge pile of data which makes their life easier.
