Retaining part of your profit keeps that amount in your Allocation Account instead of paying it out immediately. The retained amount increases the equity buffer above your Equity Stop and affects how your funding multiplier is calculated.
The following explains how retained profit affects your Allocation Account, funding multiplier, and profit share.
When you choose not to withdraw part of your profit, that amount remains in your Allocation Account.
This increases the equity cushion above your Equity Stop — your maximum drawdown level — providing additional equity before the Equity Stop is reached.
A retained amount is not paid out immediately. It remains subject to the applicable Axi Select payout rules and may be included in a later payout, subject to those rules.
Retention of profit does not by itself change your stage profit-share percentage.
Your multiplier is always calculated as:
Allocation Account equity ÷ your trading account equity, capped at your stage's maximum multiplier.
Because retained profit increases Allocation Account equity, retaining profit increases your multiplier over time, up to your stage's cap.
Example: With $5,000 in your trading account and $20,000 in your Allocation Account, your multiplier is 20,000 ÷ 5,000 = x4. If you retain profit and your Allocation Account grows to $22,000, your multiplier becomes 22,000 ÷ 5,000 = x4.4 (subject to your stage's cap).
When you retain profit, both your share and Axi's share of that profit remain in the Allocation Account together — retention isn't limited to your own portion.
Example: Your stage profit share is 80%, your total monthly profit is $1,000, and you set your payout percentage to 50%.
Your share (80%) | Axi's share (20%) | |
|---|---|---|
Total earned | $800 | $200 |
Paid out (50%) | $400 | $100 |
Retained in Allocation Account | $400 | $100 |
The Allocation Account balance rises by $500 in this example, but only $400 of that increase is yours. The remaining $100 is Axi's retained share — it sits in the account as part of the overall equity buffer, but it isn't withdrawable by you or part of your own capital. Choosing a payout percentage below 100% always retains both portions proportionally; you cannot retain only your own share while Axi's is paid out in full.
Your stage profit share rate (e.g., 70%, 80%) is calculated first, before your payout percentage is applied. A lower payout percentage doesn't change your earned rate — it only changes how much of what you've earned is paid out versus retained.
