Revenue model

1. Challenge & Account Access Fees: One-time fees paid by traders to access evaluation (CORE/PRO challenges) or simulated funded accounts (INSTANT/PRIME). CORE challenge fees range from $100–$1,600; PRO from $150–$2,400; INSTANT fees are 10% of account size ($550–$22,000); PRIME fees are 10% of account size ($1,000–$40,000). CORE and PRO fees are refunded upon first approved payout. Fees are non-refundable once access is granted and trading begins.
2. Profit Split (Performance Fee): AXIS retains a percentage of simulated profits from funded accounts as its primary ongoing revenue: 50% from INSTANT, 20% from CORE, 10% from PRO and PRIME. Revenue increases as traders generate more volume and profits — revenue is directly tied to trader performance and platform activity, not to trader losses.
3. Social Trader Performance Fees (PRIME): Social traders on PRIME accounts charge an additional performance fee on top of AXIS's standard 10% cut. This fee is deducted from the trader's 90% share and agreed directly between trader and social trader. AXIS earns a share of this performance fee ecosystem.
4. Affiliate / Partner Revenue Share: The affiliate program pays partners up to 10% revenue share on challenge purchases and up to $10/lot on funded account trading volume. This is a cost of customer acquisition rather than a direct revenue stream.
5. Internal Hedging via FX-EDGE: AXIS's active dealing system routes profitable trader positions through its internal FX-EDGE hedging network. Revenue is generated from trading volume as positions are netted and routed through institutional liquidity relationships, similar to a market-maker's spread capture on netted flow.

Core offering

AXIS Funded sells access to simulated funded trading accounts (CORE, PRO, INSTANT, PRIME) running on real market price feeds, with profit splits from 50% to 90% and account sizes from $10,000 to $400,000. Traders either pass a 1- or 2-phase evaluation challenge or purchase direct-access simulated capital, then trade forex, metals, indices, and crypto via the proprietary FX-EDGE-powered Active Dealing System with sub-12ms execution. Revenue is generated from one-time access fees, ongoing profit splits, and internal hedging through FX-EDGE.

Product overview

AXIS Funded is a simulated funded trading platform operated by ACG Technology LLC, offering four account types across two access models. The challenge model includes CORE (2-phase, 80% split) and PRO (1-phase, 90% split) accounts for traders who pass evaluation. The direct-access model includes INSTANT (50% split, no evaluation) and PRIME (90% split, no evaluation, with optional copy trading) accounts. All accounts operate on simulated capital with P&L calculated on real market price feeds. The platform is powered by the proprietary Active Dealing System and FX-EDGE institutional liquidity network, available via Match-Trader and MetaTrader 5 platforms with TradingView integration. Additional offerings include a Partner Program for affiliates and an Institutional Programme for VIP clients.

Direct peers

• FunderPro: Retail prop firm offering challenge-based funded accounts across FX, indices, commodities, and crypto with similar evaluation mechanics. Directly cited by AXIS customer Daniel R. as a previous platform he used, indicating head-to-head competition for the same retail trader audience.
• The5ers: Established prop trading firm offering both instant funding and evaluation-based accounts with profit splits up to 100%. Targets the same retail trader segment with similar account tiers and operates an active dealing / hybrid model comparable to AXIS's FX-EDGE approach.
• Surge Trading: Retail prop firm offering simulated funded accounts with evaluation mechanics and active dealing infrastructure. Direct competitor in the same product category, serving similar retail FX/CFD traders with comparable tiered account structures.
• FTMO: The largest and most established retail prop trading firm globally, offering evaluation-based funded accounts (Challenge, Verification, Funded) with similar profit-split mechanics. AXIS customer testimonials directly reference FTMO as a comparison point, and both target the same retail FX/CFD trader segment with simulated capital models.
• Funded Trading Plus: Retail prop firm offering challenge-based funded accounts with no time limit on evaluation phases. Competes in the same retail FX prop segment with similar account sizing, profit splits, and self-serve onboarding mechanics.
• TopStep: US-headquartered retail prop trading platform primarily focused on futures (CME futures via simulated funded accounts). Operates a similar evaluation-to-funded model and represents the same product category for a different but adjacent asset class — highly comparable in business model, target customer, and operational mechanics.
• E8 Funding: Retail prop firm offering evaluation-based funded accounts across FX, indices, metals, and crypto with tiered account structures. Competes head-to-head with AXIS for the same retail trader audience using a comparable simulated-capital model.
• True Forex Funds: Retail prop trading firm operating in the same simulated-funded-account category as AXIS, offering evaluation challenges with profit splits for FX and CFD trading. Targets the same self-directed retail trader segment.

Emerging players

• MyForexFunds (historical reference): Former major retail prop firm (2020–2023) that operated the same simulated-funded-account model until CFTC enforcement action shut it down in 2023. Included as a cautionary peer reference rather than an active competitor — illustrates the regulatory tail risk that offshore-domiciled prop firms, including AXIS, face in the US market.

Regional players

• Hantec Trader: Retail prop firm with strong UK/European presence offering evaluation-based funded accounts. Comparable business model and target customer, but with a more concentrated geographic footprint than AXIS's 60+ countries.
