LMI TradeOur role in this program
VolFix Academy — Erlan Tazhibayev's school — is LMI Trade's representative in Kazakhstan. We are not LMI and we do not manage capital: trader evaluation, funded accounts and payouts are run by Liberty Market Investment. Our part is to explain the terms, help you choose an account and get you into the program.

- We get in touch, answer your questions and help you pick a program and account size
- We guide you through LMI registration and setting up the VolFix platform
Why LMI
One trading environment. Everything in one place.
LMI brings together the trader evaluation program, the VolFix trading platform, performance analytics and risk-management tools. From your first evaluation trade to the Funded Session you work inside one ecosystem — no switching between platforms or third-party tools.
LMI Trade Report
A module inside VolFix that updates as you trade:
- ›trade history
- ›profit and loss statistics
- ›account results
- ›evaluation progress
- ›trading rule parameters
- ›risk limits
One ecosystem
The evaluation program and the trading platform work together: VolFix is fully integrated into the LMI environment. Account parameters, trading activity, statistics and risk limits are visible right in the platform.
Built-in risk management
Account rules and risk parameters are built right into the trading environment: limits are tracked in real time and your account status is always in view.
Max trailing drawdown (EOD)Daily pause
VolFix included
LMI program participants get access to VolFix: advanced futures market analytics, order-flow and volume analysis tools, professional trading features. No need to buy the platform separately for your LMI account.
Transparent evaluation
Rules, account parameters and pass requirements are published in advance. No hidden trading conditions and no hidden activation fees on No Activation Fee accounts.
One stage to the Funded Session
A simple one-step evaluation: show consistent trading and sound risk management in the Qualifying Session and move on to the Funded Session.
No risk to your own capital
LMI programs run in a simulated trading environment: you demonstrate your approach and manage risk without putting your own trading capital at risk.
Built for traders
Trade wherever and whenever suits you — from any continent. Your account and rules are visible in real time, so you can focus on trading.
LMI provides the infrastructure. VolFix provides the technology. You do the trading.
Evaluation process
One step to a funded account
The evaluation program is as close as possible to real trading conditions: in a safe environment you build the skills to manage capital and risk without risking your own money.

Final · Funded Session
Funding
Trade a funded account from anywhere in the world. 100% of the first $30,000 in profit is yours, then 90%. Payouts every Monday and Thursday.
Qualification rules
- The goal is to grow total profit steadily: your best day's profit must be below 51% of total profit (52% for MINI accounts)*.
- The subscription runs for the term in the accounts table (MINI — 15 days, others — 30 calendar days) and can be renewed for the same term as many times as you need. No automatic renewal.
- Broke a rule? Restart with the “Request Restart” button in the LMI Trade Report module: balance and rules reset, and the subscription end date stays the same.
- Intraweek overnight trading is allowed in both the Qualifying and Funded stages.
- Direct accounts have no profit target, restart fee, activation fee or subscription term; the Consistency Target is 20%.
* If your best day's profit is 51% or more (52% for MINI), keep trading until its share of total profit drops below the threshold.
Accounts and pricing
Choose a program and account size
Risk limits are the same in every program. The difference is how you pay to get in: a subscription plus an activation fee, a subscription with no activation fee, or a one-time price for a Direct funded account.
Subscription + activation fee ($0 for MINI).
- Max trailing drawdown (EOD): checked in real time, recalculated at end of day.
- LMI prices are in US dollars; subscriptions do not renew automatically. LMI runs promotions from time to time — we will confirm the current price when you apply.
- Daily pause — a temporary lock until the next trading day if the daily limit is exceeded.
- For registrations from regions with restricted service (Russia, Belarus), LMI applies separate High Risk (HR) conditions.
