Ascent (3-Step): three small targets instead of one big one

Ascent splits the evaluation into three phases of +5% each, with tight limits and a low price. How it works, who it suits and a pacing plan.

By the Axora Funded Research Team

Ascent is the Axora programme with three short evaluation phases instead of one or two long ones. Each phase asks for +5%. It is the cheapest way into a large account size: from $29 for $5K up to $629 for $200K, with an 80% profit split once funded.

The rules

  • Three phases, each with a 5% profit target and at least 3 trading days.
  • Daily loss 3% and maximum loss 6% static in every phase and once funded.
  • Consistency rule: best day no more than 50% of the phase's profit.
  • Positions closed before the weekend.

Why three steps can be easier

A 5% target is psychologically lighter than 10%. Each phase is a short, contained task, and you reset your mental counter after each pass. The trade-off is tighter limits: 3% daily and 6% maximum loss.

Pacing plan

  • Risk 0.5% per trade.
  • Target 1% per good day: five good days complete a phase.
  • Stop at -1.5% on the day.
  • Treat each phase as a fresh start with the same rules.
