Pros
A strong range of advanced tools are available for experienced traders, including the Autochartist market scanner, VPS solutions and exclusive MT4 NexGen features The broker's inactivity fee terms are fairly generous, only charging a $10 fee after a long inactivity period of 12 months - some brokers charge after only 3 months The broker’s free trading resources are geared towards short-term traders, including various market calendars and dividend forecast schedules Experienced traders can benefit from the Axi Select funded trader programme, offering funding up to $1 million and up to 90% profit share The $0 minimum deposit, zero-commission pricing structure, and user-friendly copy trading service will appeal to beginners Traders can choose between 10 base account currencies plus a wide range of free deposit methods, including cryptos Among other educational resources, there’s an excellent selection of free eBooks for newly registered beginners Axi is a well-regulated and established broker, with a strong track record since 2007	I was glad to see the MT4 platform with flexible desktop, web and mobile access, plus an unlimited demo account for those who want to practice strategies continuously Experienced traders will appreciate the generous leverage up to 1:500 with no trading restrictions on strategies I'm pleased with the low minimum deposit requirement of $10 (equivalent in BTC), which ideal for novice investors or those on a budget I'm a fan of the 24/7 live chat alongside an email address and FAQ help section to help new traders get started quickly
Cons
There's a limited choice of third-party charting platforms compared to other brands, with only MT4 available alongside the proprietary app The demo account expires after only 30 days - many alternative brokers that we test allow you to practice for 60 days or more The tightest round-trip commission fees of $3.50 are only available to those who can deposit $25,000 The Axi Select program requires a $500 minimum deposit to enter the first Seed stage	I would urge traders to be cautious since Hugo's Way is an unregulated brand, registered offshore in the Seychelles I find the overall market offering is very uncompetitive compared to other brands, with only 160+ assets on offer There are also no additional trading tools such as VPS or copy trading for those looking to broaden their trading experience It's a shame that deposits can only be made via Bitcoin or credit/debit card with higher minimum deposit requirements for using card

CFD
Axi offers 220+ products covering forex, shares, commodities, indices and cryptos. Spreads on EUR/USD come in at around 0.2 pips in the Pro account and 1.1 pips in the Standard account. These are competitive and aligned with equivalent accounts at leading low-cost brokers like Pepperstone.	My tests found 200+ CFDs across six asset classes such as forex, crypto and stocks with leverage up to 1:500. The broker has a low minimum deposit requirement of $10 so new and budget-conscious CFD traders can get started easily.

Forex
Axi continues to offer a strong selection of 70+ currency pairs - more than many top brokers including award-winner AvaTrade, with only 50+. There are no restrictions on trading strategies including algo trading and scalping, which will serve both short-term and long-term traders.	Hugo's Way offers a good selection of 50+ major, minor and crosses with leverage up to 1:500 on the MT4 terminal. I was glad to see micro lot (0.01) trading available, as well as hedging, scalping and news trading strategies.

Cryptocurrency
The broker offers a strong selection of 30 popular cryptos paired with fiat currencies, other tokens and metals. The high leverage up to 1:200 will serve experienced crypto traders, whilst the zero-commission pricing structure will appeal to beginners.	I was impressed with the 35 crypto pairs on offer 24/7 on the MT4 terminal. Some of my favorites are available including BCH/BTC, ETH/BTC and BTC/USD with leverage up to 1:100. Traders also benefit from Bitcoin deposit options, though this might feel restricting for some.
