SPREADS & COMMISSION
Spreads on forex pairs start at 0.8 pips for the EUR/USD, 1.5 pips for the EUR/GBP, and 1.6 pips for the GBP/USD. Spreads are around 1 point for the FTSE 100 and 0.04 for Brent oil. For precious metals, spreads on gold are around 0.39. Overall, the broker is around average in terms of trading fees.
Clients should also be aware of swap charges for overnight positions and a monthly inactivity fee if accounts are unused.
LEVERAGE
Leverage at Axes varies depending on the asset:
· Shares – up to 1:25
· Forex – up to 1:500
· Metals – up to 1:200
· Indices – up to 1:500
· Energies – Up to 1:100
These are high leverage rates and allow clients to take sizeable positions with small capital outlay. This does, of course, also increase the size of potential losses

There are three accounts to choose from: Live, Professional, and VIP. Benefits, as you move up the account tiers, include up to 30% off spreads with the VIP account, unlimited VPS use, and dedicated account managers. The standard Live account will suit most retail traders while experienced, high volume traders may prefer the VIP option.

CUSTOMER SUPPORT
Axes claims to offer support in multiple languages and from various locations. However, upon testing, we were disappointed. The live chat feature doesnt work and the FAQ portal contains broken or outdated links.

Selecting the right forex broker can make the difference between trading success and frustration for most investors, especially retail investors. As retail traders gain unprecedented access to global markets, the choice between platforms like JustForex and JustMarkets becomes increasingly significant. Both brokers offer some shining features within the forex and CFD trading space, but their approaches differ in some areas.

Vault Markets, a South African-based broker, has attracted much attention in recent days, particularly within its region. This online broker only offers access to focused trading opportunities on Indices, Currencies, Energies, and Metals, yet it shines on low minimum deposits plus various bonus programmes, which would encourage more investors, especially beginners, to trade with a small budget. However, Vault Markets operates outside of the authorized scope, so we don't consider it solid to trade with.
