AXIORY has only Belize license, and does not have other licenses. But AXIORY has been provided service from 2013 and already obtained high reputation and reliability, mainly with fast execution, narrow spread, and transparency, based on strategically located global infrastructure including Equinix data centers.

Especially, spread of Nano account “0.2” (EURUSD) is the narrowest among other brokers.

Spread and swap

AXIORY discloses average spread and swap points on the official website. In addition, AXIORY discloses “real time spread” on the official website.
Average spread and swap of major currency pairs are as follows.

Currency Pair Average Spread (pips) Swap (points)
Nano Account Standard Account MAX Account Long Short
  EURUSD 0.2 1.2 1.9 -4.57 0.02
  USDJPY 0.4 1.4 2.2 -2.06 -4.08
  GBPUSD 0.5 1.5 2.2 -4.72 -3.55
  AUDUSD 0.6 1.8 2.5 -3.577 -2.89
  USDCAD 0.9 2.1 3.2 -2.46 -3.64
  USDCHF 0.8 2 2.7 0.42 -4.41
  NZDUSD 0.8 2 2.7 -2.37 -2.15
  EURGBP 0.7 1.5 2.1 -4.1 -1.94
  EURJPY 0.6 1.6 2.5 -3.61 -1.56
  EURAUD 1 2.2 3.4 -6.17 -0.11
  GBPAUD 1.8 3 4.3 -6.22 -5.2

in addition to above spread, in case of Nano account, AXIORY offers 6USD per 1lot as “commission” (that means 3USD as one way).

6USD commission per 1lot is equivalent to 0.6pips. If we add 0.6pips on 0.2pips on spread of Nano account of EURUD, the total pips is 0.8pips. The 0.8pips is still lower than spread of standard account, and quite competitive to compare with other forex brokers. In conclusion we recommend Nano account.

Leverage

The maximum leverage of AXIORY is 1:400 for “Nano” account and “Standard” account, 1:500 for “Max” account.

If clients balance exceed $100,000 will have the leverage lowered to 1:300.

Margin call and Stop out level

Margin call level on all accounts (Nano, Standard or MAX) is 50%.
Stop out level on all account is 20%.

Stop out logic is different between MT4 and cTrader as follows.
Stop out logic in MT4:
The most unprofitable position is closed first and subsequently all other positions are closed starting from least to most profitable.

Stop Out logic in cTrader;
Smart stop out works by partially closing the position which is taking the most margin. This position will be partially closed in the smallest possible increment needed to restore customers’ margin level to above the stop out level.

To compare with other competitive brokers, stop out level “20% is on middle level.

All updates are focused on improving traders experience and helping them to manage their risk and trade effectively.

Advantages of cTrader as follows.

  • Modern and user-friendly architecture
