🛡️ Is Traxent legit?
Is Traxent legitimate and safe to use?

Yes. Traxent is a real trading-education and analytics product operated by Akpan Holdings Limited, a company registered in England & Wales. It is free to start with no card required.

It takes no deposits and holds no client funds, connects to trading platforms on a read-only basis, stores data on AWS in the UK with Auth0 authentication, and lets you delete your account and data at any time under UK GDPR.

Because Traxent never holds money, there are no "withdrawal fees" or "release fees." If anyone asks you to pay a fee to release funds in Traxent's name, that is a scam impersonating us — report it to us at [email protected].

Is Traxent a broker, and is it regulated by the FCA?

No — and it does not need to be. Traxent is educational software and analytics. It does not execute trades, offer trading accounts, hold client money, or give investment advice, so it is not a broker or a regulated financial firm.

FCA authorisation applies to firms that handle client funds or provide regulated financial advice. An education and readiness tool falls outside that scope, in the same way a trading course or a spreadsheet does. All trading practice inside Traxent is simulated.

Does Traxent hold my money or charge withdrawal fees?

No. Traxent never takes deposits, never holds funds, and has nothing to withdraw. The only optional payment is a monthly subscription processed securely by Stripe — card details never touch Traxent's servers.

Anyone claiming you must pay Traxent a fee to "release" or "withdraw" funds is impersonating us.

Can I connect my trading account and import my trades?

Yes — this is what makes Traxent different. You can connect popular trading platforms including MetaTrader 4 and 5, cTrader and TradingView on a read-only basis, or log trades manually.

Traxent then analyses your real closed trades and scores them against each prop firm's published rules — so your readiness reflects how you actually trade, not a guess.

How is Traxent different from TradingView or MetaTrader?

They solve different problems, and Traxent works alongside them. TradingView and MetaTrader are charting and execution platforms; Traxent is a readiness layer on top.

You import your trades from those tools, and Traxent measures them against the specific published rules of at least 16 prop firms — daily loss limits, drawdown type, consistency rules and minimum days — to tell you which funded challenge you are actually ready to attempt.

How much does Traxent cost — is there an early-bird discount?

Traxent is free to start; paid plans begin at £4.99/month. There is no time-limited "early-bird" or percentage discount (if you have seen one quoted elsewhere, it is out of date).

Instead, founding members who join during the waitlist lock in their price for life — the price you see when you join is the price you keep, protected from future rises for as long as you stay subscribed.

About Traxent
What is Traxent and how does it work?

Traxent is a trading education platform designed to help you build the habits and knowledge needed to pass a proprietary trading firm evaluation — without risking real money in the process.

It works in three stages. First, you learn through structured modules covering trading fundamentals, chart patterns, and risk management. Second, you practise by logging simulated trades in your journal — no real money involved, just paper trading against live market data. Third, your habits are scored in real time against the actual published rules of the prop firms you want to target.

The result is a readiness score that tells you not just whether you're ready for a funded challenge, but exactly what to fix before you pay for one.

Traxent is not a brokerage, not a prop firm, and not a financial adviser. It is an educational tool — everything on the platform is simulated and for learning purposes only.

Will Traxent guarantee I pass a prop firm challenge?

No — and any platform that makes that claim should be avoided. Traxent cannot guarantee trading results because no one can. Markets are unpredictable, and trading involves genuine risk.

What Traxent does is give you the best possible preparation. A high readiness score means your simulated trading habits align with a firm's rules — your drawdown is within limits, your consistency is within the required threshold, your risk per trade is appropriate. That is strong preparation. It is not a guarantee.

The traders who pass challenges consistently are not the ones who got lucky. They are the ones who built disciplined habits over time, understood the rules they were being evaluated against, and managed their emotions when trades went wrong. Traxent is designed to help you build exactly those habits.

How many lessons are there — and is it good for a complete beginner?

Traxent's curriculum is 10 modules with 50+ lessons and quizzes, built for complete beginners. The first three — Trading 101, 201 & 301 — are free (Trading 101 needs no account at all) and start from the very basics: what a share is, how markets work, how to place a trade, and how to manage risk.

From there it goes deeper into chart patterns, prop-firm rules, trading psychology, building a measurable edge, and going live by connecting your account. So Traxent does teach you to trade from scratch — the rule-matching analytics sit on top of a full curriculum, they don't replace it.

🎯 Readiness scores
How does the readiness score work?

Your readiness score is calculated by comparing your trading habits — logged through your sim trade journal and self-reported inputs — against the published rules of whichever prop firms you choose to track.

Each firm has a set of rules with different weightings based on how critical they are to passing. For example:

  • Daily drawdown limit — if your worst simulated day exceeds the firm's limit, this rule fails
  • Consistency rule — if your best single day represents more than the allowed percentage of total profit, this flags
  • Activity requirement — if you're not trading enough days per week to meet the minimum, this scores down
  • Stop loss usage — whether you consistently use hard stop losses on every trade

Rules that are close but not quite passing show as amber — giving you a specific target to improve rather than just a failing score.

All readiness scores are based on publicly available information from each firm's website and documentation. They are indicative only — always verify current rules directly with the firm before purchasing a challenge.

What inputs feed my readiness score?

Your score is built from a combination of inputs you provide:

  • Sim trade journal entries — each trade you log includes whether it was a win or loss, your risk percentage, and your R:R ratio. These feed your consistency and drawdown calculations.
  • Trading days per week — self-reported, used to check minimum activity requirements
  • Best single day percentage — the proportion of your total profit made in your best single session, which feeds the consistency rule check
  • Stop loss habits — whether you always use hard stops, which some firms require explicitly

As you use Traxent more, your score becomes more accurate. A score based on 50 logged trades reflects your habits far better than one based on 5.

🏢 Prop firms
What prop firms do you track?

Traxent currently tracks at least 16 of the most widely used prop firms globally:

  • FTMO — established forex/futures firm, available in most countries outside the US
  • Apex Trader Funding — futures-focused, popular with US and international traders
  • MyFundedFutures — futures, end-of-day drawdown, fast payout track record
  • FundedNext — forex and futures, multiple challenge formats, strong global presence
  • Topstep, The5ers, FXIFY, E8 Funding, FundingPips, Tradeify, Alpha Capital, Goat Funded Trader, Take Profit Trader, Funded Trading Plus, Maven Trading and Bulenox — covering futures, forex, indices and CFDs

See every firm's rules side by side on our prop firm comparison page. Firms are only added once we have verified their rules from official sources — we do not track firms based on unconfirmed information.

On the Challenger plan and above, you can choose up to 3 firms to track your readiness against simultaneously.

Is Traxent affiliated with any prop firms?

No. Traxent is completely independent. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially connected to FTMO, Apex Trader Funding, MyFundedFutures, FundedNext, or any other firm we track.

All prop firm rules and requirements displayed on Traxent are sourced from each firm's publicly available documentation. Rules change — we do our best to keep information current, but always verify requirements directly with the firm before purchasing any evaluation.

📈 Existing traders
Can I use Traxent if I already trade?

Absolutely — Traxent is useful at every stage of a trading journey, not just for beginners.

If you already trade but haven't attempted a prop firm challenge, Traxent helps you understand whether your current habits would pass — often revealing gaps you weren't aware of. Many experienced traders are surprised to find they consistently violate consistency rules or hold trades too long, which would fail a challenge even with a profitable overall track record.

If you've attempted challenges and failed, Traxent helps you diagnose exactly what went wrong and track your improvement before attempting again.

The learning modules are designed to work as refreshers too — you can skip what you know and focus on the areas that are relevant to your specific weaknesses. The content is accessible to beginners but doesn't talk down to experienced traders.

Why not just use YouTube?
How is Traxent different from watching YouTube videos or reading trading books?

YouTube and books are excellent for learning concepts — and we'd encourage you to use them alongside Traxent. The limitation of passive learning is that it doesn't tell you whether you've actually internalised the habits that matter.

Knowing that you should risk 1% per trade is very different from consistently doing it under pressure. Knowing that a consistency rule exists is different from actually tracking whether your trading behaviour passes it.

Traxent bridges that gap. The journal holds you accountable. The readiness score tells you whether your actual behaviour — not your intended behaviour — meets the standard. That feedback loop is what passive learning cannot provide.

Think of it this way: YouTube teaches you the rules of chess. Traxent is the chess clock that tells you whether you're actually playing at the speed required to compete.

Traxent is not a replacement for good educational content. It is the layer that turns knowledge into measurable, tracked habit.

Your account
How do I cancel my subscription?

You can cancel at any time — there are no long-term contracts or cancellation fees.

To cancel, go to your dashboard and click on your plan badge in the top right corner. This will take you to your subscription settings where you can manage or cancel your plan. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period — you'll retain full access until then.

If you have any trouble cancelling, email us at [email protected] and we'll sort it within one business day.

We don't offer refunds for partial months, but we will never charge you after cancellation.

Can I switch plans or downgrade?

Yes — you can upgrade or downgrade at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately. Downgrades take effect at the start of your next billing period so you keep your current access for the remainder of the month you've paid for.

If you downgrade from Challenger or Funded Trader to Observer, your journal data and readiness scores are preserved — you just won't be able to access them until you upgrade again. Nothing is deleted.
