How much you can earn from South Africa
On the funded account you keep 90% of the profit above the 3% buffer, paid in USDT to your wallet after the processing fee. Net examples on $25K:
- A 5% profit ($1,250) → you receive $434.25 (≈ ZAR 7,166) net.

How much you need to make per day on the $25K Futures
The phase 1 target is $1,500 (≈ ZAR 24,751). With at least 3 trading days and the consistency rule (best day ≤ 40% of the profit, so at least 3 profitable days), the fastest possible pace is $500 (≈ ZAR 8,250) a day for 3 days.
Spread over 10 trading days it is $150 (≈ ZAR 2,475) a day, 20% of your $750 (≈ ZAR 12,376) daily loss limit. Going slower costs nothing: the smaller the daily goal, the less you need to risk per trade.
Example for a trader in South Africa: risking 0.5% per trade ($125) for twice that in profit, each winner adds $250 (≈ ZAR 4,125); you need 6 winning trades for the phase, plus one more for every two losers.

Paying, getting paid and tax from South Africa

Payouts are sent in USDT only, on TRC20, ERC20, BEP20, to the wallet you save in your dashboard, with no KYC. Changing the wallet pauses payouts for 24 hours for security. The challenge fee is one-time and non-refundable, so try the platform with the free trial first.

Tax: Axora Funded does not withhold tax or give tax advice. How USDT rewards are treated in South Africa depends on local rules and your situation; check with a qualified tax adviser in South Africa and keep the payout history from your dashboard (date, amount, network and transaction hash).
