Does Capital.com or Axiory have a better trust and regulation rating?

Trust and regulation are some of the most important factors to consider when choosing a Forex broker. Trust in the Forex trading business is almost entirely founded upon regulation. We spend many hours evaluating the safety of each broker by delving into their fine print and confirming each one of their regulatory licences on the online registers. The more top-tier authorities a broker is regulated by, the higher its trust rating.

Does Capital.com or Axiory have lower costs?

Another important aspect we consider when comparing brokers is the cost of trading. When evaluating trading costs, we always consider the minimum deposit required to open an account and the ongoing trading costs, including the spreads and commissions. When calculating trading costs, we measure the cost to trade one lot of EUR/USD using the broker’s account with the lowest minimum deposit. The cost includes both the spread and any commission charged. 

Not all brokers publish their trading costs, so we often open accounts and trade on their platforms to verify the spreads and commissions. Based on our reviews, we found that Capital.com has overall lower trading costs than Axiory. 

 

Does Capital.com or Axiory offer a better choice of trading platforms?

Traders want Forex brokers to offer them a choice of trading platforms, so we give brokers who offer multiple platforms higher ratings. Trading platforms we consider include MetaTrader4, MetaTrader5, cTrader and proprietary mobile and web-based platforms.

Although brokers may have reasonable trading fees, many traders are caught out by the high non-trading fees charged by some brokers, including deposits and withdrawals. Traders want to be able to deposit and withdraw funds quickly and cheaply.

Which broker offers better educational support?

We often find that brokers offer very little in the way of educational materials, forcing traders to use other third-party sites or self-educate elsewhere. Beginner traders need well-structured, well-presented materials in multiple formats to get a good start at trading. More experienced traders also benefit from webinars led by experts in the field and advanced trading strategy sections with new trading ideas. 

Axiory and Capital.com both have very good educational support. Both Axiory and Capital.com offer educational support for more experienced traders.

 

Which broker offers better market analysis materials?

To successfully predict the price movements of an instrument, traders will need access to frequent market research and analysis. We find that research and market analysis are always better when they are produced in-house and updated frequently. Third-party resources don’t show the same expertise in trading ideas, so we place a strong emphasis on frequent in-house updates. Some brokers also often offer interactive webinars where traders can learn from experts in the field. 

We found that Capital.com offers better research analysis than Axiory and that both Axiory and Capital.com offer frequent webinars.

 

Our overall Verdict on Capital.com

With one of the lowest-cost trading environments in the industry and a large number of tradable assets, Capital.com provides a welcoming environment for both beginners and professional traders looking for a new MT4 broker. 

A well-regulated broker, Capital.com offers trading on an extensive range of tradable instruments, including over 138 Forex pairs, over 3600 share CFDs, 22 indices, 22 commodities, and over 200 cryptocurrencies - one of the largest sets in the industry.

Although Capital.com only offers one trading account its trading costs are significantly lower than average, with spreads starting at 0.60 pips on the EUR/USD and no commission. Additionally, no fees are charged for deposits, withdrawals, or on inactive accounts. Unlike other brokers, Capital.com charges swap fees based only on the leverage provided rather than the trading position's entire value. This is a welcome development in an industry where extra fees are charged on most transactions. 

Trading is offered on MT4 and Capital.com's award-winning proprietary web platform, and customer service is available 24/7 to help with any technical queries. Notable is Capital.com’s world-class educational and market analysis section, providing exceptional value for beginner and experienced traders alike.

One drawback is the lack of technical and fundamental analysis tools on offer. Most other brokers offer tools like Autochartist, Trading Central, and free VPS services, to help traders make better trading decisions.

Our overall Verdict on Axiory

With a wide range of trading accounts available on three of the most popular trading platforms (MT4, MT5, and cTrader), Axiory appeals to beginner traders with its low minimum deposit requirements and strong educational support. 

Axiory's educational and market analysis materials are well-organized, detailed, and in-depth, a real benefit to beginner traders. Webinars are run bi-weekly by industry experts, and Axiory's trading academy offers courses, articles, and tutorials, among other materials. 

Axiory offers a wide range of tradable assets, including over 60 Forex pairs. All trading accounts have a minimum deposit of 10 USD, and trading costs that range between 8 USD and 18 USD per lot of EUR/USD traded, which is average compared to other brokers. 

One drawback is that although Axiory is an international broker, it is only regulated by the IFSC in Belize – so regulatory oversight is weak compared to other similar brokers.
