The discrepancy is due to how unique trades are counted. Not every trade you place is counted as a unique trade.
A unique trade is counted only when a trade is both opened and closed, with no other trades for the same symbol being open at the same time.
If you open multiple trades on the same symbol simultaneously and close them together, the entire group counts as just 1 unique trade — regardless of how many individual trades were placed.
If you open and close trades for the same symbol one at a time (each fully closed before the next is opened), each counts as a separate, unique trade.
Hedged positions do not count as unique trades and do not contribute toward the 20 unique trade requirement.
The unique trade count differs from the minimum required trades at each stage of the Axi Select program — these are two separate counts.
