Review the permission behind the AI feature and the contract behind the crypto name
Axi's current English site combines portfolio analysis, an MT5 connection to Claude and several cryptocurrency products. These features have different powers and costs. An AI answer, a trade instruction and an accepted order are separate events; a spot holding and a perpetual derivative require different documents.
Scope: current international public pages, global help articles, selected provisions of the current linked client agreement and Axi Platform schedule, and official UK source context. No account or connector was authorised, no personal data uploaded, and no trade or payment performed. Live permissions, execution and personal eligibility remain untested.
Start with the international company and the correct schedule
The checked international homepage identifies AxiTrader LLC, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines company number 4303 LLC 2025. The currently linked client agreement, effective 7 July 2026, uses that company. Its introduction expressly says the FSA does not license or supervise margin-FX and CFD issuers and has not approved the agreement. This is a provider disclosure, not an independent current register finding or a conclusion about every group company.
The legal catalogue lists separate Axi Trading Platform, MetaTrader 4/5 and US10/US15 server schedules. Match the accepted agreement, account server and platform. A specification from one route cannot automatically determine another route's price, fee or available instruments.
The FCA's 2 February 2023 clone warning distinguishes genuine AxiCorp Limited, reference 509746, from Axi Financial Services (UK) Limited, reference 466201, and from the impersonator. The warning concerns the clone; it is not evidence of wrongdoing by the genuine firms. Its historical company details do not establish a new permission review or transfer UK protection to AxiTrader LLC. The existing UK and Australian relations have not been freshly reverified in full.
“Always allow” changes the meaning of approval
Axi's MCP feature page describes account data access plus opening, modifying and closing MT5 trades. It says approval is required for every action and that Claude cannot transfer funds. These are provider descriptions; this review did not verify them in an authorised account.
| Choice | Described effect | Question before granting it |
|---|---|---|
| Allow once | Approve the single requested tool action. | Does its exact account, symbol, quantity and operation match the request? |
| Always allow | Approve that specific tool going forward without another prompt. | What later actions can this tool perform, and how will you review them? |
| Deny | Block that action. | Has any other trading tool retained an independent permission? |
The global permission guide separates read-only and trading tools and says permissions can be changed without reconnecting. Its “Always allow” option means the marketing statement is not an unconditional promise of a fresh prompt for every subsequent action.
The connection guide requires an active MT5 account. Seeing an MCP settings page with only MT4, a closed account or an Axi-platform-only account does not establish connection eligibility. Ask for the currently supported account and tools; do not infer permissions from an accessible menu.
An instruction in a chat and a standing tool permission are different controls. Review the actual permissions and proposed action before granting access. This page documents the public feature; it does not connect or place an order on the reader's behalf.
Ask Axi analysis is separate from Claude's trading connection
The current Ask Axi page describes portfolio analysis, market questions and asset comparisons. Its disclaimer says output may be inaccurate or incomplete and is informational rather than personal advice or direct trading signals. The legacy URL wording does not prove that the current page is a paper-trading simulator.
The same page offers shareable Trade Analysis images, with choices about displaying a name and monetary amounts. A curated performance image does not establish a complete statement, identical measurement periods or future results. Before sharing, inspect what the image reveals, retain the underlying period and ledger, and check that omissions do not distort the result. No analysis image or account record was uploaded or shared during this review.
MetaTrader's own documentation separately describes its built-in AI assistant and MCP interface, with configurable access to trading and other operations. This software capability is not proof that Axi's broker-hosted connection exposes every MetaTrader tool or supports the same clients. Review the particular integration's actual tool list.
A crypto name does not tell you whether withdrawal to a wallet is available
The checked crypto comparison distinguishes CFDs, perpetual futures and Buy Crypto. It labels the first two as having no ownership and Buy Crypto as ownership with a footnote. That footnote says transfers to external wallets are not yet available. A “coming soon” statement is not an active withdrawal facility.
The spot page markets real crypto assets held through the Axi Trading Platform. This review did not obtain a complete spot-custody agreement, verify the custodian or confirm transfer, segregation, insolvency, fork or recovery rights. A product label and a displayed holding do not answer those contractual questions.
Retain the exact product label and symbol, company, custody or counterparty terms, and available exit method. Ask whether the holding can only be sold within the platform, what currency the proceeds use, and which cash withdrawal conditions apply. Do not assume an external wallet address will be accepted.
For UK retail readers, the FCA's crypto-ETN announcement explicitly leaves its retail cryptoasset-derivatives ban in place. An international perpetual offer and a UK-listed ETN are different products; neither this website's English language nor a group UK reference establishes personal access.
Resolve the public fee difference and include periodic funding
The perpetual page shows a typical taker commission of 0.035% in its comparison, but elsewhere labels maker 0.035% and taker 0.025%. Its dollar example uses an US$80,000 price and a comparison dated 29 May 2025. This review does not select one public label as the current rate for every account or repeat that historical comparison as today's cheapest price.
The linked Axi Platform schedule, effective 6 October 2026, describes perpetual transaction fees on entry and exit, assessed on trade value, with rates shown in the platform. It separately describes funding: normally every eight hours at 00:00, 08:00 and 16:00 UTC, unless specified otherwise. Positive funding debits longs and credits shorts; negative funding reverses the direction. This is a selected provision of that schedule, not a live rate check.
For each fill, retain the applicable rate, trade value, execution classification, account currency and debit. For each funding event, retain the open quantity at assessment, rate sign, assessment time and balance entry. Reconcile entry commission, exit commission and funding separately. Closing a position and seeing its price profit does not prove that all costs have been counted.
The account page uses “recommended minimum deposit” for US$100 Standard/Premium and US$25,000 Elite. It advertises Premium US$4.50 and Elite US$3.50 round-trip commissions, without establishing the complete product/quantity basis in the retrieved labels. A recommendation is not a universal mandatory minimum, and that account headline is not a verified perpetual-fee schedule.
Reconcile a chat request with the actual order history
The global trade-identification guide says MCP-executed trades carry “Placed via MCP” in the history comment and directs trade queries through the normal investigation process. Treat that as the provider's described trace, not a substitute for matching the order and execution records; no actual tagged order was tested.
- Before an action: preserve the account/server, effective tool permission, full request and proposed operation. Check direction, quantity, symbol and protective levels rather than relying on a natural-language summary.
- After the response: distinguish proposed, submitted, rejected, filled and partially filled states using server records. Retain order/deal identifiers, timestamps and prices, then reconcile positions and protective levels.
- For an unexplained difference: retain the conversation and approval record, tool result, history comment, server statement and fee calculation. Ask the contracting firm's support for the applied rule and a case identifier. No external investigation or complaint was submitted here.
Help text says disconnection prevents new connector tasks while previous chats remain available. Do not treat a chat transcript as a current account view. After changing access, verify the permission state separately from the continuing order or position state. This review did not test token revocation, position closure or retained-data deletion.
Questions before relying on an AI feature
Does Ask Axi automatically trade through Claude?
The checked pages describe separate services: Ask Axi provides analysis, while the MCP connection can expose MT5 trading tools. This review did not activate either.
Will every MCP trade always prompt me again?
Not as an unconditional rule. The global guide allows standing permission for a particular tool. Inspect the actual effective settings and review the intended action.
Can Buy Crypto be transferred to my external wallet today?
The checked public comparison says external transfers are not yet available. Personal custody and withdrawal terms still require verification; no transfer was tested.
