Hi there,
I work at AxiTrader on the Sales/Trading desk. We were in partnership with ODL Securities in the UK but broke away at the start of the year before they were acquired by FXCM. As for the question about funds held in Australia, they are ASIC regulated Client segregated accounts with HSBC.. We've been in the market for over 2 years, just because a company is new or small doesn't mean it is necessarily more risky than a bigger company. Our CEO has been in the FX market for over 40 years and has a vast experience in running a Margin FX business. Please don't hesitate to contact us or visit the website for any other questions.
