Pros
The online platform and app cater to traders, offering advanced charts, a customisable interface, and multiple order options like one-cancels-the-other (OCO). Trading fees for crypto futures contracts are quite competitive, with maker fees at 0.01% and taker fees at 0.02%. PrimeXBT offers ultra-fast execution speeds, averaging 7.12ms, making it an ideal choice for traders seeking optimal pricing during market volatility. Round-the-clock customer support, accessible through live chat, demonstrated outstanding performance during testing. Additionally, the comprehensive help centre offers ideal self-assistance resources. PrimeXBT has introduced new trading options with the addition of tokens such as 1Inch, Aave, and Injective for exchange and investment.	Axi provides an excellent MT4 experience, enhanced by the NextGen plug-in for sophisticated order management and analytics, with low execution latency around 30ms. Axi Academy offers a wealth of educational resources, from free eBooks and video tutorials to interactive quizzes. These are particularly beneficial for novice traders. Based on our tests, Axi's new trading app is highly intuitive. It offers practical filtering options to align strategies with individual risk preferences. Experienced traders are invited to join the Axi Select funded trader programme via the broker's international branch. This scheme offers up to $1 million in capital with the benefit of a 90% profit share.
Cons
Despite enhancements, the range of approximately 100 instruments lags significantly behind competitors, such as OKX, which offers over 400 assets. PrimeXBT operates widely in the crypto sector but without approval from a recognised regulator, significantly increasing the risk for retail traders. The absence of integration with established platforms such as MT4 restricts traders accustomed to the globally popular forex software.	Axi lags by solely providing MT4, while competitors have upgraded to MT5, cTrader, TradingView, and bespoke platforms, delivering a smoother user experience with enhanced tools. Even with the expansion of stock CFDs in the US, UK, and EU markets, its range still falls short compared to companies like BlackBull, which provide thousands of equities for varied trading opportunities. Axi retains our confidence. However, recent issues with ASIC and FMA require it to maintain a secure environment and comply with licensing standards. Although Axi delivers excellent performance, its support is not available 24/7. This unavailability can be inconvenient for traders operating in different time zones or requiring help beyond regular trading hours.
