Help: Sim Funded

Once a trader enters the Sim Funded Phase, several key changes and expectations are introduced to foster sustainable performance while reinforcing professional discipline.

The Sim Funded Phase isn’t just a payout checkpoint — it’s a crucial discovery period.

This is where our team carefully observes traders in a more flexible, yet structured environment to identify which performance profiles show true scalability. We look for traders who demonstrate not just profitability, but repeatable, risk-adjusted edge.

The goal is to separate one-time performers from those who can be supported, trusted, and eventually scaled in our Copied Trader Phase.

This phase allows us to validate both your consistency and your ability to trade within structure — two qualities essential for long-term opportunities and deeper partnership.

Traders receive a drawdown increase from 6% to 8%, offering more breathing room to operate their strategy while still maintaining structure and accountability.

To unlock evaluation earnings and enter the bi-weekly payout cycle, traders must:
- Achieve 5 profitable days in the Sim Funded Phase
- Each of these 5 days must generate at least 75% of the average of the trader’s top 5 most profitable days from the evaluation phase

Once this requirement is fulfilled:
- The trader can request their evaluation split
-They are then entered into the bi-weekly performance split cycle

Example:
If a trader’s top 5 most profitable days in the evaluation phase amount to $300, $350, $360, $365, $370, then this trader’s average of their top 5 most profitable days would be $349.

75% of this average would be $261.75

To unlock their evaluation earnings, the trader would need to put up 5 profitable days of at least $261.75. Once this is completed, the trader can unlock their evaluation split as well as enter into the bi-weekly performance split cycle.

Unlike other firm’s that place arbitrary measures, we are asking trader’s to replicate a percentage of what they have already shown to be able to do.

During the Sim Funded Phase, the Axestreet team begins actively monitoring trader performance using a mix of automated analytics and manual reviews.

Key Metrics We Evaluate:
- Consistency of returns
- Trade frequency vs. personal baseline
- Adherence to average risk profile
- Behavior during high-volatility periods
- Deviation from normal sizing or execution style
- Psychological behavior patterns (e.g., revenge trading or tilt)

To remain in good standing and retain payout eligibility, traders must follow Axestreet’s core risk standards which are the same as in the evaluation phase.

Profits made on soft-breach will not count toward performance splits.

Every 90 days, traders undergo a formal quarterly performance review by the Axestreet team. These reviews are designed to assess the trader’s ongoing performance, risk discipline, and growth potential.

Quarterly Review Covers:
- Profit factor
- Average win vs. average loss
- Hold time ratios
- Account health and drawdown behavior
- Behavioral and psychological trends

Traders demonstrating consistent, risk-adjusted performance may become eligible for:
- Account scaling
- Increased drawdown allowances
-Consideration for exclusive copied trader tiers

Once in the bi-weekly cycle, traders must:
- Trade for a minimum of 5 days per cycle
- Ensure no single day accounts for more than 40% of total profits in that period

This ensures that payouts reflect consistency and sustainable performance — not single-day spikes or anomalies.
