Axi says more than 60% of its customers are now using MetaTrader 5, following a migration that has intensified over the past three years. The figure comes from an October 7 vendor case study published by MetaQuotes. It marks material adoption of the newer platform, but it should not be confused with a count of account deposits, actively traded lots or users who have abandoned every other system.[1]
The broker’s technology operations team points to more granular access permissions, management automation and flexible deployment of access servers as operational reasons for the shift. Those are internal administration capabilities as well as client-terminal features. For a multi-jurisdiction broker, a platform migration also means configuration, plugins, symbols, trade histories, risk controls and regional connections must be maintained across successive release cycles.[1]
Adoption and trading volume measure different things
MetaQuotes cites more than 1.4 million Axi users served over its history in over 100 countries and fiscal-2025 trading volume of $3.45 trillion. Those marketing metrics are not denominators that can safely be multiplied by the 60% adoption figure to produce current active MT5 accounts. They cover different concepts and possibly different observation periods. Likewise, a large annual notional trading figure does not itself prove profitability or fill quality.[1]
What the published metrics mean
| Point | Documented position | Practical interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| More than 60% | Axi customers using MetaTrader 5, as stated by the vendor | No disclosed active-account or last-trade denominatorSource 1 |
| More than 1.4m | Cumulative users served according to the announcement | Not a current funded-customer countSource 1 |
| $3.45tn | FY2025 trading volume reported for the group | Not client assets or revenueSource 1 |
| Ultency | Recently adopted liquidity infrastructure | Deployment described as early-stage, not a completed independent speed auditSource 1 |
Axi also describes an early-stage deployment of Ultency, reporting initial improvements in performance and execution experience. The case study supplies no matched latency, rejection-rate or fill-quality measurements, so those comments remain company assessments rather than a measured advantage over another platform.[1]
The useful operational finding is the shift from client-terminal adoption to managing permissions, automation and distributed access servers at scale. That is a narrower and better-supported conclusion than declaring MT5 universally superior for traders. The case study was published on 7 October and is not a new end-of-month adoption update.[1]
