In this video, Victor interviews Albert Host, an algorithmic trader who shares his journey to becoming a top trader on Axi Select, a platform where traders can manage up to $1 million with a small initial deposit. Albert details the mistakes he made, including rushing phases and misunderstanding the H-Score, and offers key tips for avoiding these pitfalls to accelerate progress.
Albert is a computer engineer with 10 years of experience automating business workflows, now applying his skills to algorithmic trading.
After a year of testing in 2024, Albert decided to start trading in January 2025, using Strategy One for his portfolios.
Albert admits to approaching Axi Select impatiently, trying to rush through phases manually, which led to a low H-Score and eventual reset.
Victor attended an event with many traders, where he met Albert, who stood out due to his rapid success in managing capital.
Albert became a top trader in many companies in just over a year and a half, managing millions in capital, despite early setbacks.
Axi Select allows traders to open an account with $500 and pass phases, respecting a 7% drawdown rule, to manage up to $1 million with 80% profit share.
Albert reached the 500k phase, taking 70% of profits with only $10,000 in his account, but made mistakes that delayed his progress.
Albert wants to share the mistakes he made so others can avoid them and progress faster on Axi Select.
Victor encourages viewers to check the link to Axi Select in the description to open an account in 5 minutes.
Albert explains his background in automation and how he got into trading, dedicating 2024 to learning and testing strategies.
Albert started trading in production in January 2025, with 2025 going well and 2026 starting turbulently but holding up.
Albert is currently at the 500k stage in Axi Select, one step away from the million, and uses Strategy One for all portfolios.
Albert's main mistake was rushing through the initial phases manually, not understanding the importance of the H-Score.
Albert initially thought Axi Select was like other funding companies, but it's different: it uses your own capital and has a score system.
The H-Score evaluates your trading and follows you throughout your career; the beginning is more important because it's based on an average of 10 trades.
Albert tried to pass the first phase quickly by trading manually, which hurt his H-Score, leading to a score of 64 instead of the required 70.
After realizing his H-Score was stuck, Albert decided to reset his account, losing three months of progress and an amount he could have withdrawn.
After resetting, Albert used his bots from the start, passing phases quickly with a high H-Score, reaching 93 in Acceleration.
Albert discovered that resetting phases doesn't reset the H-Score; there's a hidden option to reset the Edge, which closes the account and opens a new one.
Albert advises reading all platform rules carefully to avoid mistakes like withdrawing capital mid-phase or not resetting the H-Score.
After the reset, Albert passed all phases with a high H-Score, reaching 93 in Acceleration, showing the importance of controlled risk.
Albert's main mistake was leaving trades open for hours, staying in the red, which the H-Score dislikes; he should have used stop-losses.
Albert shares that his win rate is 50/50, but the key is average duration: cutting losses quickly and letting winners run, which Axi likes.
Axi doesn't want traders who let losses run because they fund with real money; they prefer traders who cut losses fast and extend winners.
Albert traded gold because his gold portfolio had a good backtest and performed well in 2025, and gold allows for better capital partitioning.
Gold was chosen because the contract size is smaller, allowing more flexibility with small capital, unlike Nasdaq which had a contract size of 20.
Albert shows his current H-Score of 93, and reflects on having completed seven phases (four successful, three lost) to reach the Pro 500.
Albert was flagged for copy trading because his gold trades were similar to others, leading to a phase restart and loss of profits.
Albert contacted support and then the Head of Axi on LinkedIn, explaining his situation and showing his track record to prove he wasn't copy trading.
Albert had a meeting with Greg, the Head of Axi, who acknowledged the false positive and offered to keep him on Pro 500, but couldn't pay the profits.
Albert agreed to stay on Pro 500, and Greg suggested he create new bots on other assets to avoid copy trading flags, which Albert is now testing.
Albert's other audited portfolios and professional background helped him gain credibility with Axi, leading to the favorable resolution.
Albert is currently on Pro 500, testing new portfolios, and hopes to reach the million soon, though he acknowledges the journey has been long.
Albert advises traders to stick to their strategy, not overtrade or rush, and treat the H-Score like a diamond because it's crucial for success.
Albert notes that humans are used to dopamine and want fast results, but rushing leads to mistakes; it's better to take it easy and be consistent.
Albert has a training project to help others become profitable, with a first edition of 15 people, and plans a second edition in May.
Albert's journey on Axi Select highlights the importance of understanding the platform's rules, especially the H-Score, and avoiding the temptation to rush. By learning from his mistakes, traders can progress faster and achieve their capital management goals.

35:26
The H-Score is Crucial
Understanding that the H-Score is based on an average of 10 trades makes early mistakes disproportionately impactful, a key insight for new traders.
10:37Hidden Reset Option
The fact that resetting phases doesn't reset the H-Score is a non-obvious platform detail that can cost traders months.
16:31Avoid Leaving Trades Open
Albert's mistake of holding losing trades for hours is a common pitfall that directly lowers the H-Score.

Knowing that Axi rewards cutting losses quickly and letting winners run is a strategic principle for success on the platform.
21:26Credibility Saves the Day

30:25[00:01] years automating business workflows, and now with artificial intelligence. Sure, I come from the world of automation, I've been testing all year, I'm doing it with Strategy One until at the end of 2024 I said, well that's it
[00:14] , I'll start in January 2025, right? And I think Posttrack Records, I start in different places, one of the Axis, yes, all traders have a bad moment, I always had some screw-up, right?, speaking badly, I mean, some
[00:28] problem and in my [music] case it has been in Axius. So I approached it impatiently, didn't I? Because you're starting out and you say, well, look, I want to get through the first phases of the do. I am an algorithmic trader and I got involved and tried to do it
[00:41] inside, wow, it's hard for me to get to 70, imagine how hard it will be to get to the pro stage at 90. And this was the difficult decision, wasn't it? What I do? And I thought about it many nights, didn't I? What I do? What I do? What I do? What I do?
[00:56] Hello, traders. The other day I went to an event where there were 150, 200 traders. go to these kinds of events where I can talk to other traders in 're all always in our caves, I think it's really interesting to be able to
[01:09] traders. Every time I do these things, I realize that there are traders today You talk to one and suddenly he tells you that he's destroying the small caps. Uh, you talk to someone else and they tell you they're succeeding managing millions in
[01:24] Suddenly you talk to someone else and they show you that they've been banned from money. What's happening in this sector is truly unbelievable. And people I was able to chat with, there was one story that stood out, it
[01:39] surprised me the most, and it was a trader who explained to me and showed me that he had a regarding how he has become a top trader in many companies in just over a year and a half capital, millions in capital management companies
[01:51] . Well, it has gone through phases similar to other very fast companies. Ah, as I said, he made money in funding companies and they had to ban him from them. He explained to me some story that he had with, uh, this whole process. Specifically, it has been
[02:04] very successful on Ax Select, which you know is a platform where, by opening an account with them with $500, you go through a series of phases, as you can see here on the screen, where if you respect one rule, which is to never
[02:16] exceed 7% Drawdown, you go through phase by phase until you can manage one million dollars, of which they pay you 80%. OK? It is one of the trading with little capital, because you manage real money, not
[02:29] leverage, it is real money that they lend you at the end of has managed to reach the 500,000 phase, in which, as you can see, he takes 70% of what he generates and only needs $10,000 in his account, which has been the
[02:42] as he has passed through phases. And he was explaining this to me, how he got to the 500,000 stage. And right with this process he was telling me that he had had a lot of mistakes, a series of problems that he didn't know about, that he didn't
[02:55] know why they were happening, that had slowed down to manage 500,000 in almost a year, and he could have done it in much less time, according to what he told me and what he if it weren't for the mistakes he made, which he wants to explain in this
[03:10] people don't make them. So we're going to talk to Albert Host, an algorithmic trader who will explain how he has become a top trader for many Actually, I'll be interviewing him soon where you'll see where he's
[03:25] and I wanted him to come here to explain exactly how he managed to get to managing these amounts of money so quickly, had the other day, which you'll see , explains the tips that for
[03:38] me are most key to not making certain mistakes, really, certain mistakes that people don't fall into, that can delay you for a long time, months and even if you know them and do it well, you can go much faster like
[03:51] he has done. So without further ado, let's see how he did it, let's see what link below to Axis Select. If you want to do the same as try to manage third-party capital, in this case from Ax Select,
[04:04] all the information in the description of this video and a link where you can open an account in just 5 minutes. Now, let's watch the talk. Albert, How are you, Victor? Everything's great, I'm delighted to be here. The pleasure is all mine. We
[04:17] met just recently, dude. We met a couple of days ago, three, I mean, it was last weekend, and we were if you feel the same way, but we were just talking about it
[04:29] I personally prefer because you have time to put a face to people, to break down the barrier that exists on the internet. And that's what happened to us all, and we were talking to traders we had in common. We were
[04:42] introduced somehow, right? And that's how it's turned out , so I really appreciate you Thanks to you. Yes, yes. That's what's beautiful about it, isn't it? Ultimately, we go to these are in the same sector, who do n't have the opportunity to
[04:55] talk about trading on a daily basis, and the truth is that we do coincide and, well, we fit together a same places, right? 100% 100%, right? And it's total, and besides, what you told me about you being,
[05:09] do a longer interview soon, if we can, so people can get to know you and see what you do, but you're killing it, you're achieving incredible results on both in terms of capital management and funding, I mean, you're
[05:21] want to achieve, and in a relatively short time, right? From what I 've seen. So, in the end, how is this? Can you explain how you achieved this so I can introduce myself a little and let people know?
[05:35] I am a computer engineer and I have spent 10 years automating business workflows. Well, before, with the typical RPA, without also introducing artificial intelligence. Of course, I come from the world of
[05:48] automation, where it's typical, right? You see trading and it piques your interest, and if you come from this sector, I'm automating companies, right? Well, I can also automate trading and such, and you learn it.
[06:00] And so I started to really push myself in 2024, I mean, the beginning of 2024 and the whole year was well, I'm a technician, so [sighs] I also like it and I'm very much a before starting anything, right? where all this year testing, uh, and I do it with
[06:16] and well, I dedicated all this year to learning as much as possible, testing many assets, testing different types of strategies until at the end of 2024 I said, well that's it, January 2025 I start, right?, and I think Posttrack Records, I start
[06:31] that we will talk about today. And well, look, since they're in production, I mean, working more at a level with a more realistic portfolio, right? that weren't my own tests, since
[06:43] January 2025. The truth is that 2025 went very well and now we'll see how 2026 goes. 2026 has started a bit more turbulently, holding up well, which is also important, because not everything has to be
[06:57] good times, but rather to maintain your position in the bad times , which is what has strategies at least have kept me there and haven't made the recover everything from, you know? [laughs] Totally. Absolutely, absolutely.
[07:09] I think this whole mixing thing is super amazing , don't you? This is because you come lot to do with this. So, you've somehow transferred your tu, haven't you? Your knowledge from there to here. That seems brutal to me. And you mentioned
[07:23] this video. First of all, in this, as people will have seen in the thumbnail, in the description, it has to do with Axi, because when we you are currently at the 500,000 stage in Axi. Wow, that's
[07:37] really. You're already one step away from the million and I'm sure you'll get there soon. because I collaborate with Axi to try to bring examples like you, right?, of people want to achieve, who want to climb
[07:52] do it. So, I see you've mentioned Strategic One, explain a bit about your current situation at Axe? How did you get time, so that people can get a sense of it ?
[08:06] Yes, well, the truth is that I do all my portfolios with Strategy One and well, since it's algorithmic trading, it also allows you to, I mean, it seems like in a year you're everywhere, that's the good thing
[08:20] about algorithmic trading, right? In the end, you can run it in parallel, and if you goes very well for you, well, that's what I did, right? I started in 2025 like that, so in the having it everywhere, right? So now I'll explain
[08:35] all traders have a bad moment, I mean, everyone I've talked to has always had some kind of screw-up, right? Speaking badly, I mean, some problem and in my case it was Naxi, I mean, where it says my screw-up was
[08:48] [laughs] Naxi, so it will be useful to me. I mean, I had a rough time for a while, now I've come to terms with what want to explain it here because I think it not to do and that sometimes long-term patience will show you
[09:04] that it's the right path because, well, we'll explain that later, but I wanted to go too fast at the beginning, didn't I? And the truth is, Okay, so explain a little bit about this whole journey to get to that point, how do
[09:16] you start in Ax in this case and what happens? How's the process going? Okay, end, of course, when I started at Axi too, like I said, right? I started in many other industries and in the end you don't really know what Axis
[09:30] Select is, do you? Now I can define it for you and I know what it is, but when you start you think that maybe it's like another plumbing company, right? So for me, this was the mistake. You can make it
[09:44] this topic very interesting, specifically the fact that it's not the same as funding. Why isn't it like that ? Why, what have you discovered? Sure, first of all because in the end, well, it 's our own capital, okay? In the end, you don't really have to take exams
[09:57] as such; you do have to go through phases that have become a bit more complicated each time since I started, but in the end, well, they're not as complex as funding, right? Ultimately, the philosophy that everyone has
[10:10] for funding is to pass the test quickly, almost like gambling, and then immediately start making withdrawals, and that's not how it works here. So I approached it wrong and thought the first phases, which in this case is the sit-in, were
[10:24] quickly because in the end they don't allocate capital here either, and the faster the better because the ones that make money are the following. But there is one factor here, which is the score. So [snort] here's the factor
[10:37] where I screwed up, right? In other words, you don't take it into account, from minute one because you have this Jcore that evaluates you. So, this JCOR will follow you throughout your career. And also, now with time I've seen, have
[10:51] n't I?, and I've learned that the beginning is even more important than the end. Because? Let me explain why. Because in the end, this is based on an average of the of 10 trades, where mistakes can quickly go wrong, is not the same as
[11:05] having 300 trades. If something strange happens in one of those trades, a trade out of 300 won't have the same impact as a trade out of 10. Okay? So, that's kind of what happened to me. So I approached it impatiently, didn't I? Because you're starting out and
[11:19] you say, well, look, I want to get through the first phases of the SIT quickly, and you do what you shouldn't do. I'm an algorithmic trader, so I got involved and tried to do it manually, right? A bit of a "well, come on quickly, I'm going to 5%" kind of thing, because
[11:31] before you had to do 5%, now it's seven, so I started with the And what happened? Well, that's good, I got through this phase, but I didn't know what this later, but anyway, I got through this phase. I got through it in a week, and
[11:46] you think, "There's a mistake here, because if they give you 30 days, I still had to wait. So if you want to rush it out of eagerness, saying, 'Okay, I got there before the 30 days
[11:59] .' Yes, it's useful for negative things, like messing up your score and all that, right? So, well, I got through the SIP and the second phase, which is the incubation phase, and there I started to think, okay, I'll do some
[12:15] manual trading too, right? And the typical thing, of course, you don't control it as much. I know that in the end, I'm someone who, well, I trade breakouts, okay? With tight SLS, I don't let losses run either, which is also what
[12:30] Axi likes, right? And in these traditional trading systems, well, maybe I'd spend a few hours... The trade was in the red, well, the edge score was off. So, when I got to the halfway point of
[12:42] incubation and started using my bots—a portfolio I knew worked and had tested—what happened? Because, well, I passed the incubation phase, I reached 5%, but my H-score wasn't going up. I mean, it's not just about reaching 5% or now
[12:56] 7%, they require a score of What was happening? Well, mine was at 64, and of course, I already had 5%, I could have moved on
[13:09] , but it wasn't going up, you know? And then, after doing some research online, and also reading some interviews, even yours and others', talking about the score, you realize it's very
[13:22] important, you know? It's just that now... I mean, of course, my decision here, which was the difficult one, was, what do I do now? You know? Or... I'm dragging out a year, because , well, sure, if I had been a trader, I would have been trading well
[13:36] after a year. Like I was saying, since I'll have many more good trades than bad, my losses will always keep increasing a little. You're already behind, of course, because you're behind. So, I thought to myself,
[13:48] wow, it's taking me a while to get to level 70, imagine when I have to reach the pro stage at level 90, because I knew I'd get there someday. I mean, if good backtest and it's working on other platforms and the same portfolio, it should
[14:00] I thought, wow, hm, do I really want to wait a year? And that was the hard decision, wasn't it? What do I do? Do I reset or not? And I thought about it many nights, right? What do I do? What do I do? What do I do? What do I do? And I
[14:13] also saw some other people who were also stuck at the want that either, do I?" Until finally I said, look, it doesn't matter, I'll lose this 10% I 've done from the two phases, it doesn't matter. So I've lost these three months, have
[14:27] n't I?, of my life and of trading. I even remember that I already had an amount to withdraw and I reset without withdrawing it. In other words, I didn't even wait to get paid. I say, "It doesn't matter, let's buy some time, right? I've already messed up, so it is what it is, accept it,
[14:40] right? And in the end, you learn from your mistakes, right? . [laughs] So, now comes the good part, I mean, I reset and I hit the reset button and that's it. And they take you back to the sit-and-go. And me, well, already
[14:55] mentally prepared, I say, okay, now I'll put the bots back in from the beginning, we'll do it right, we won't mess it up again, the bots back in from the beginning, we'll do it right, we won't mess it up again, and I kept and I kept trading. So I get through this sit-and-go phase. In the
[15:07] end, it's also normal to get through the first phases quickly because, since we're trading with little capital, you quickly go into a lot of risk. So it's almost not a matter of luck, but it is about getting a good dynamic with
[15:21] positive variance. Of course, of course, it's just that it didn't give you more. I mean, if you start with 500, which I Yes, the first time I started with 500. This second have a little more margin, not to be so leveraged, right?
[15:35] Well, I reset, I went back and did it again , I made this 5% and I looked at the score and it did seem strange to me because I reset and it was still at 60, similar to what I had before, and I thought, "Okay, well, wow, I'm starting much better and I
[15:49] well, wow, I'm starting much better and I start with the quote at 60, I do the S, also 60 and something." Well, and I clicked on incubation and the first incubation trades were the same and I thought, "Damn, the
[16:04] be?" I thought, I can't be going through the same situation again, right? And it turns out I opened a support ticket with Axi and explained, I said, wow, look, the first time I did have problems With this whole thing about seeing how
[16:18] the tool was working, I don't know how it's going. Now I've reset it to also reset the HCORE and I'm finding the same thing and they told me, "No, no, resetting the phases is one thing and resetting the HCORE is another ."
[16:31] It's a hidden option in the settings, and it turns out that when you reset the Edge, they close your account and open a new one. Okay, right? So, you had reset the phases, but with the same Edgar, the
[16:43] Damn, that sucks. Anyway, I lost another phase, the third one I lost. I mean, this can't be happening. That's why it's good to explain it here; a lot of people come across this because it's a really good platform, but it does
[16:55] the first tip I give is that people should study it carefully because it's very easy to make a mistake like You can also make a mistake like withdrawing your capital in the middle of a phase, and you'll go
[17:08] first of all, before you start, read everything thoroughly, right? To go back to this case, well, of course, I told them, and they said, "Do you want us to hold the Edge for you?" I said, "Yes, of course, that from the beginning,
[17:21] yes, thank you, right?" And they close your account and open a new one, mentally it was tough because you think, "I've missed three phases." I mean, three phases are incubation and acceleration. Yeah, yeah, it's 15%, and yeah,
[17:34] 's 15% that's not even because of the earnings, because in the first phases you do earnings, because in the first phases you do pro, but you think, wow, I went from being a pro to starting like this, you know? But oh
[17:46] well, it doesn't matter, in the end you say, it's a mistake, right? And that's it. Where they did and I started like that. Very good. And I checked it just today because I had to talk to you about it because I did n't remember and I reset to June
[17:59] okay? And now in February they were already at 500. Spectacular. The good thing is that I've always passed all the phases That's great. So , yeah, I haven't
[18:13] talked about this much, but I did do Seat, Incubation, and Acceleration Pro, and there the H score was really hitting the mark. I mean, I'm at 93 and it was consistent. I mean, imagine what I was able to do manually, so it would
[18:27] n't go up by 60-something, when the second time, doing it right with controlled risk, with my bots, I at 92 in Acceleration. I mean, you can't even explain it since you're in the game,
[18:43] difference between the score not going up the first time and it going up this time? I mean, four elements, right? Consistency, kind of calculation or conclusion about what you think is most important?
[18:57] Yes, Yes, yes. I have a screenshot ready if you want me to share it, and then we can talk about it a bit. Well, we'll share three screenshots because, yes, what I think is a mistake with Axis Select,
[19:09] when you move to a new phase, you lose your history. It would be great to be able to keep the statistics, at least to consult them, for all the phases. to know how long it took and all that. So I'll
[19:23] share this screenshot from when I went from Acceleration to Pro. Okay, so you can show you a bit of what I've learned that makes more sense and what I think they like best. Okay, we're seeing it now.
[19:37] Okay. So this is one of the statistics from when I was in Acceleration, okay? And in the end, I think they really like my trading style, okay? In the connect it to what you were asking me, right? About what was the The mistake. Basically, the
[19:52] mistake is that by doing it manually, I'd leave the trade open for many hours and think, well, if this is going negative now, I'll wait for it to turn around in the next few hours, right? And all that time you 're in the red, in the end, well, the score does
[20:04] n't like it that way, okay? And many times I was in the red and when I reached break-even I'd close it, right? Because of break-even and then another trade because So, what happens? In the end, the score detects that you're not a good
[20:17] trader. In the end, you've been in the red for a lot of hours, which maybe in the first hour could have been a stop-loss, and then when you recover and it's going your way, you close it, you close it there, it's
[20:29] it's a trader that, well, right, [clears throat], it doesn't like. And statistic, well, it's very clear. I mean, in the end, the win rate is similar, right? 50/50 so it's a bit like that, huh? Roughly speaking, right? But what does change
[20:44] a lot is, if you look, the biggest gain, okay? This means you let it run longer, right? The bigger the gains, the bigger the losses, okay? And even the average gain and the average loss, okay? If you look, it's like twice as much
[20:57] , but what I think is essential, and what they really like, and what triggers a lot of interest, is the average duration. someone from Axis, and there are people starting to do
[21:11] play this a bit to raise their H- score. In my case, I haven't needed it strategies already work very well with what Axis likes, which is that, in the end, it's at the end, the average duration, the loss goes
[21:26] to the stop loss, the stop loss adjuster, and the one that's going well is extended for longer, you allow more expansion, and this is kind of what they want, right? That when it's not going your way The way forward, right? Well, close quickly and extend
[21:41] when things are going well. So, I think this is the best tip you can have, and what my stats like most, even when they were inversely related. [laughs] So, of course, the score tells you, well, you 're not good enough to move on
[21:55] to the end. Remember, when you finally reach a million and they're going to lend it to you, what they do n't want is people who let losses run because if they're going to fund you with risking an incredible amount of money. So they have traders like you, traders who know
[22:08] get into the mess of letting trades run, or wait for the market to logical. It seems totally logical to me within their model. also so that people could know the type, right? I traded gold
[22:24] because, well, I already created a gold portfolio and had a very good backtest on gold, which in fact, when I did it... I couldn't believe 2024, you know? And did it... I couldn't believe 2024, you know? And I started this one in 2025 and I said, "It can't
[22:36] be, all strategists, whatever , but well, I'm not putting it into production yet." And the truth is, well, it's gone really well for me, I mean, 2025 has been spectacular and it was in line with
[22:48] the Bactés, right? Well, they were gold Bactés, I mean, they were two gold bots that, well, had similar entry and exit points, but different ones, trend-following. So, in the end, I think this is also what Axis likes,
[23:03] this is also what Axis likes, you know? what they prefer. On the other hand, my statistics show that when, well, if it does a breakout, it either goes up a lot from the long positions and keeps going,
[23:18] you know? Or if it's really a false breakout, it's quick and the next one is three, like. Great, man. Great. And What assets traded gold, right? Here at Axi, I started with Nasdaq and gold,
[23:33] And I stuck with gold. Why? Well, the gold bot more and I liked it better, but also because of a key factor: at Axi, we trade with very little capital, so this small amount of capital
[23:50] Because in the end, it only goes so far. I mean, if you start with 500 or 1000, wow, just opening at 0.01 lots means that, risking $, you
[24:02] 're already at 3% risk. So, of course, gold allows you to partition more, but the Nasdaq contract size was 20, so in the end, you risk more, the minimum, right? 0.01
[24:17] example, or that The Forex one. So, of course, at the beginning it's the same as bots have you put in?" At first, I can't put in many. I only have one or two So it was kind of a decision like that. Besides, I liked it more, I mean, they
[24:32] trade more gold, and it also suited me to gold. That's great, that's great. and you were also showing me your
[24:44] current situation earlier, for example. You're at 93, you told me. Can we see how you Yes. Now this is in real time, I mean, yes, today's current situation. Now okay? I mean, nothing's really happening, I mean, it's not break-even. But, well,
[24:59] what happened, well, from here I went through phases. It was tough you're explaining, Right? I mean, to get here I've done four phases plus the three I lost, that's seven, and you stop to add it up and you say that's already a million,
[25:13] and with almost a 10% return, right? So, well, at night, you think, going from being one of the first to reaching a million and being at a million and making a profit, you're still in the Pro 500, right? And so on. But well, in the end,
[25:26] I'm also relieved to be doing this interview here because at least my appreciate it, and with this, it's also a bit of a Absolutely, absolutely, man, absolutely. And then another problem happened to me, okay?
[25:40] It's a problem that's currently being seen, okay? When I moved up to the Well, I was also trading gold, as I said, I mean, the same portfolio from minute one, and a misfortune happened to me that In the end, nobody likes it, right? I
[25:55] that In the end, nobody likes it, right? I mean, I had already reached 7% of the Pro mean, I had already reached 7% of the Pro 500. This was in January; in fact, I had about a month and a half at break-even, so
[26:07] by Christmas I was already in the Pro 500 and I suffered a bit with Draudon, but then at the end of January I had a spectacular week and made spectacular week and made 7%, so I recovered everything I had and
[26:20] then left it to move up to the Pro 500 at the end of January. And I said, of course, since to move up to the Pro 500 you have to put in €10,000 of capital and I was a little short, so I said, look, instead of putting in the rest out of my own
[26:34] pocket now and moving to the Next Stage, I'll wait because I had €8,500 to, well, dollars to cash out on February 1st. I said, well, with what I get So, with the profit you had
[26:47] , with the profit from the Pro, from the whole pro phase, well, I said, look, I'll just upload what's the minimum capital they require, which is 10,000 for the Pro 500, and that's it . And I waited, because it ended up being January 25th, I said, I'll wait for 5 days
[27:01] Well, these 5 days passed and to my surprise, on February 1st, I surprise, on February 1st, I received an email as soon as I woke up. Hey, phase restart, hey, welcome to SIT, SIT stage. And I said, what do you mean,
[27:15] SIT stage? I was supposed to get paid today and move up to Pro 500, right? And then, of course, I logged in, I thought, this must be bugged, did they make a mistake? No, I logged in and nothing about getting paid appeared and I was in the SIT stage.
[27:28] directly in SIT, I mean, SIT, I mean, like starting over, nobody has accessed my computer or reset it, I don't think it was a Well, a mistake, I don't know, I did n't open a support ticket and they told me they'd
[27:41] detected copy trading and that because of the copy trading, my ? What? I mean, it's like I was using someone else's bots. Oh, someone else's voices, you know? I mean, yeah, more than
[27:55] too, but basically, there were more than 10 people and the exits were very similar. So, sure, it could be at the end, sure, we were coming off a few months of the gold boom. When I started, there wasn't a
[28:11] gold album, I mean, at the beginning of 2025 it was going up, but it was at the end of the year . Everyone was trading value and everyone was trading per value, yeah, everyone, right? So, what happens? A lot Guys, I think he started trading gold
[28:25] too, with similar strategists. In the end, it's not the same bot, but if you trade gold breakouts, that is, if you trade highs, Victor is going to set the same high as me. So, of course, we'll enter at the same time,
[28:39] right? And the exits can be different. Well, I opened a support ticket and they trading the same way and that it was some bot that had spread. I said, well, that 's impossible because I've been using the same bot since the beginning of 2025.
[28:54] I can prove it. I created them myself; I even sent screenshots from Strategy One, showing that I was creating them , right? And nothing, they told me, "Well, we'll talk about it, I don't know what." Well, they were
[29:06] n't really answering me much, and then I also did what I do anyway: I use the tool, right? I also used LinkedIn, because of such, and I looked for the Head of Axi, who is
[29:20] So, of course, since he's the boss there, well, in the end I wrote to him, I wrote to him, I opened a direct message on LinkedIn and explained my situation. I told him, "Look, Greg, well, this has happened to me, and in the end, I'm
[29:34] professionally." I even showed him all my results from other audited portfolios also had a bit of credibility. Yes, that I was doing things right. Yes, yes, yes, of course, of course I was doing things right, that I had even started a
[29:46] training project to help other people, a lot of things, and I think he saw that it was true, right? I mean, he saw that I had found a guy who wasn't a copycat, probably, right? And I really
[29:58] liked him. In the end, he's the head, right? I mean, he's the head of who's in n't even reply to these profiles anymore. Of course, he could have ignored right. And he replied to me on LinkedIn, he said, "Wow, Albert, uh, I'm really sorry
[30:11] " That's great. We had a meeting, and we had a meeting in English, and I explained to him what I was dealing with, and he was already prepared and showed me,
[30:25] right?, the alarm that was going off for them There, and I think there were about 14 people operating the same thing. And I told him, "Of course, the exits are different, for sure, because the probability of me exiting via ATR is higher, right?" "The same
[30:38] impossible, right?" And he [cleared his throat] said, "Yeah, yeah, that's what we're running into ." And he hinted that there might be some the profiles, they're all Spanish, he told me. I mean, as if some academy
[30:51] were distributing similar bot templates , I don't know. And I said, well, not in my created a training project, I'm in the first edition, and the people or other academies, I can't really tell you, right? So, well, we reached an
[31:06] agreement, I mean, in the end he told me, "Look, you had $8,600, I ca copy trading has come up for you and other people, and of course, if I pay one person, Well, in the end I said, look, and he
[31:20] offered me something, he said, look, I know that you do the I work well, you've shown me your methodology, I was explaining it and all, and I know you do it well. So, uh, I'm proposing that you stay on Pro 500 because you deserve it. He
[31:32] here in six months since I started, and said, "You deserve to be here." Then, since the issue of payments didn't depend on him, basically, right? Well, he said, "Look, I can keep you on Pro 500, and as for the
[31:46] payment, well, I'm sorry, we can't right now." And I said, "Well, look, it doesn't matter here, no, just let me have the money, yes, it's money, but well, right?" Resetting because he's stupid, right? All
[31:58] these things, now I'd go back to them as if I were to start all over again. Then he told me, "Look, uh, stick with Pro 500, do it right." I even liked something about him here too. He's a really good person for someone with that kind of
[32:10] let's do one thing." I told him, "Well, I'm not trading gold anymore because I don't want to live copy trading happening to me every day." And he told me that it was like a hot asset, basically And I told him, well look, I'll try other assets, I'm doing some tests, that's why you
[32:24] because, well, I'm trying to put some bots on Nasdaq, some "Look, make new bots." Since you have the ability to do it, then create new bots and when you've made some trades, write to me and we'll check it again,
[32:38] some assets, which won't be the final portfolio because in the end I have to decide which asset I want to use to reach a million, ruling out gold because of the risk involved. , I said, "Look, Greg, how's it going now? Are you getting copy trade results?" No, it just ca
[32:51] n't be, right? And he told me, "No, no, now everything's fine, uh, with other fine." And so, well, that's kind of how Like [laughs] yeah, there's a long story, isn't there? It's not
[33:03] awesome, dude. It's awesome. It's great because at least you do lose this was your profit, but since it's not out of your own pocket, and you weren't due to get paid yet, look, I prefer to stay in the industry here, stay in the Pro 500
[33:16] and be able to make returns now and in the future, and well, to have met him. He work, and if there is any other problem someday, he already knows that I don't do trading Total, total, total. Furthermore, I think that what makes
[33:29] is what you were saying, to show that you have other track records, you have another kind of someone who just came here who doesn't know anything about trading and started throwing in a really knows their stuff and that gives you credibility, man."
[33:42] different assets and he said, "Of course, told me, "Basically, it's poor, I mean, he did what he could, right? Like, I interested in you being on the Pro 500 because you do a good job,
[33:54] depended on other departments, it was more complicated, and we reached this agreement, right? Other portfolios that aren't gold, so there wouldn't be any That's great, man. I'm done. Yeah. And now I'm like this, Pro 500,
[34:08] doing some testing. I'm also really busy lately and I haven't planned the final portfolio yet, but well, we'll keep breaking even here, more or less, as you see here, and let's see if we can get into a good rhythm with
[34:21] a portfolio and maybe reach a million after so many passes [laughs], and . Yeah, of course, but I understand the catharsis and the odyssey you've been through, but really, let's imagine you go over a
[34:33] million in a couple of months at most, or so, it's been a year." More or reach a million. Yes, no, it's more like what I was of the first to get there, it's always more exciting,
[34:46] Axi in mind, right? It's also more like a reward, and well, it could have been, and it was n't because I messed around, right? It's the learning everyone has to go through , I mean, to try and run two
[34:59] I've wasted a year on this, you know? So it didn't make sense because I could have left the bots for a month, since you have to wait the same amount of time in the in the Incubation, I probably would have passed the phase anyway. The only thing I messed with was to get it through
[35:13] in a week, which didn't help me at all, but since I was a complete beginner, I didn't know Muchoxel, well , in the end it's not the same happen to me now, right? Well, this happened to me at the beginning and that's why... Everyone
[35:26] mean, whether it's manual or algorithmic, if it's algorithmic, leave then stick to your strategy pattern, don't overtrade or try to rush it , because the score in this industry, in Acis Select, is
[35:39] treat it like a diamond because otherwise you won't ultimately about being disciplined because that's what all n't so much how much you earn or if you make huge profits
[35:53] 're disciplined in making decisions. If you demonstrate that you don't make mistakes, that you don't put your , that helps a lot to see that your decisions are consistent and good advice, man. Definitely, definitely. And it's difficult, huh? I mean, now I What
[36:06] I'm saying is that the problem is that we humans are used to dopa now, I mean, everything's geared towards that. So you start here, you see the Million or the Pro 500 in five stages and you say, "Wow, I
[36:18] want to get there as soon as possible, I want to move forward, I don't want to go fast." And this is what fast and then you'll go slower later because you have to reset or that, well, at least I think it's going to
[36:32] be [laughs] about taking it easy and doing the things Definitely, man, definitely. Hey, Albert, man, I really appreciate it, people not to make the same mistakes. I'll leave all the
[36:45] profile, to wherever you want. You mentioned the training topic, that you're really cool project, you'll find it below, okay? If you want, If you want to can contact you. It came about out of a sense of vocation, I mean, in the end, it
[36:58] also involves companies, right? Like I was saying, I do automation, automate their businesses, right? Also, so they do n't always depend on one person and a third party, right? And this, out of a sense of vocation, I said, "Wow, I
[37:10] also teach clients, right?" And I'm used to talking to them in teams and stuff, I mean, wow, what I experienced in 2025, I mean, when dedicated hours to it and that you're profitable, well, I'd
[37:22] like everyone to be able to experience that, you know? So it was like a edition, which I released in January, we 've just finished it now, and at an affordable price, because in the end, no, I have my job, I mean, it's not something I can
[37:35] job, but it's also to help people, and I you when we met, right? In the end, you're talking about the same thing. I don't talk about trading in my day-to-day life, but I do have this community, right? These
[37:48] become profitable, well, I also have people to interact with, right? And thought about it, well, I already made an edition of 15 people. Fifteen people, almost like you're all friends, because you talk every week, and I think that
[38:02] also to learn after the project, and now let's see if in May or so we can do a second edition and keep growing and continue helping people because it's really cool, I mean, they really have to
[38:16] everyone can achieve good results. this contact here in case anyone wants to learn from you and give it a try. You do an incredible job, and your results speak for themselves. So everyone, check out
[38:28] Albert's social media and links here, and we'll be in touch, man, for that We can have a relaxed chat about everything you 're doing because people are going to thank you from the bottom of my heart, man, I really do. Thanks for stopping by.
[38:40] Thank you, Victor. Thanks to you. Hug. It was a pleasure. Thank you. I'm a pleasure. Thank you. I'm wondering the same.
