Looks nicer. The other one looked cheap. Still having issues here though... No, i have not contacted them yet… This week was a bit better. Waiting to see if they are reading this thread.

They have a US site too now.
What was the issue? I haven't really been having any with Axi lately. I suppose you could hope they read the thread but you would be alot more likely to get some action by contacting them. Most brokers don't participate on forums as the few that do generally get shouted down and abused by traders who have no clue and it probably puts the rest off to be honest.

Website is nice isn't it, much more professional and user friendly now.

I think any time a trader spends time on a forum and isnt 'angry' enough he is labelled a rep. I participate in Pepper too, there are lots of people on there who are just looking to chat about the broker, positives and negatives or communicate with other traders (one on the pepper forum has the same surname as me though is in Canada!) who might want to know answers to questions they may not get from brokers.. It's supposed to be a traders discussion which is what usually occurs here. I don't mean to get too defensive and hope no one has taken me too seriously.. Some brokers deserve a good rep which I'm sure is why other people help out on Axi and Pepper.

Well, my first compliment was that my fills where better than others. So my venting would be about my fills way worse than others and spreads wider than others. Especially CADJPY pair. Making losses bigger and profits smaller. Did contact them about it. The response was that they don’t control the prices being an stp/ecn broker. Execution was a bit “lagier” too. I expect a difference between brokers, but that week was something else.

Was a bit better last week, as i said.

About the them not reading threads, pretty sure most brokers do. But don't interact.

Nah, it’s all good. Seeing that it is our money we are taking about and good brokers are/where hard to come by does get some of us all riled up. I have been caught doing that too. Forums are for sharing and resolving issues we might be having. I always assume it is something on my end before I contact a broker and ask around a bit to see if anyone else is having similar ones. The Axi thread is actually quite quiet. So I would presume that they are doing an overall good job. Or they have no clients, we are it, lol.

I've read in various places that they are the largest Australian forex broker. I believe it to be true as well

Yeah, read that too. I’m sure they are. Would love to get my hands on some financial statements. It’s just funny how there threads in different forums are quiet. Like I said, it must mean that they are doing a good job. So far, I have nothing really negative to say. Except for what I said. Issue is better today.

The website is cooler. They have the F ,T and Y buttons. tried them out. he,he. Haven’t gone farther than that yet. Will give it a whirl later.

Hello,

Axi have created something like ICM's 1 click order script for scalping on MT4. Altho it doesn't have all of the features yet it was what I was missing with them by now They told me via email that they will implement the other functions (eg. predifined S/L T/P and so) very soon. Other than that I didn't observe any issues last 2 weeks.
I believe it's actually a metaquotes update that has introduced the one click trading feature. This article explains it well.

Yeah no issues for a long time for me either. One less thing to worry about

I've been trading with Axitrader for around 6 months now. Great spreads and 90% of TP's hit have good slippage in my favour. Nothing bad to say about them. Deposits clear within 1 day and withdrawals are not delayed.

After reading GlobalPrime's site, they state that they offer raw spreads plus a 0.1 pip buff on the raw spread bringing spread minimum to 0.1 pips. They say they do this to cover "operational" costs and server maintenance and what not. Now, after looking at pepper's and axi's spreads, it seems like both of them offer a minimum spread of 0.1 while the only broker i see offering 0.0 spreads is ICM. now, these are the three bigger brokers in aus and nz, or around that area should i say. anyways, does this mean that axi's spreads are actually buffed by 0.1 pips as well to cover any maintenance fees? I find this outrageous especially as they charge one of the higher commissions at $7 RTL last time I checked. And yes, I consider $7 RTL to be quite high compared to some other leading brokers such as ExcelMarkets over in NZ with a $5 RTL and perhaps Armada with a 4 unit commission per 100,000 units. Now, Armada could be quite debatable depending on the market conditions, but generally speaking, looks like there's a spread buff for axi or is there some other explanation?

Axi spreads on pro server (New York based) vary but are as sweet as you'll find on any broker anywhere (less than 1 pip), and commission is .65 pip.

Common cost round trip on aud/usd is 1.2 pips including commission, eur/usd is less.

Been with them over 12 months, excellent Aussie broker, they answer the phone immediately and execute instructions to a T.

hi, have a question for axi users, myfxbook is showing spread on eur/usd on pro account as around 2.2 without commision and around 3.2 with. This differs geatly to what is being said on here (post 198) and on their website, can anyone who trades with them advise me on this? I'm thinking its some sort of problem with myfxbook as surely no one would use them if this was correct.

Spread is typically 0.3 and fluctuating. Open a Demo or a small Live account to see it for yourself. Commission can be reduced through any introducing agent.

Down for 25 minutes so far on LIVE accounts, from 18:29 AEST

Or 04:29 New York time

What could the problem be?

Demos are fine

Quite frustrating ..... had widening spreads and missing bars on Armada Markets and slow executions on IC Markets. And now hearing that AxiTrader is down on Live accounts.
Back now, about the time I posted actually, not sure what happened. I have VPS in New York and that was no connection either & they are supposed to be in same building
