Summary

Axiory is an award-winning CFD broker that offers multiple assets on modern trading platforms. Regulated by the IFSC, Belize, and a member of the financial commission, clients’ funds are safe. Trade execution is very fast, and trading fees are competitive. Over 150 instruments in the CFD assets classes of forex, indices, stocks, metals, and energies can be traded on its cTrader, MT5, and MT4 trading platform. The platforms are sophisticated, loaded with trading tools, support trade automation as well as mobile trading. Trading tools like Autochartist, economic calendar, news, and analysis are also available.

However, most forex trading experts, analysts, and professionals believe that offshore regulators are substandard when compared to reputable regulators like the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the UK, Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC), and Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). Also, limiting account currencies to USD and EUR is not a good idea. Tradable instruments are limited when compared to other brokers. Axiory investors are not offered managed accounts or social trading accounts, except the ‘cTrader copy,’ which is a platform feature.

Nevertheless, we can conclude that Axiory is a credible and reliable broker but not short of flaws.
