What Axi asks
Axi doesn't give a VPS away: it credits up to $36 of the monthly ForexVPS fee, for a Basic VPS with 1 GB of memory, or up to $35 of a CNS VPS fee, to customers who trade more than 20 lots in a calendar month. Its page promises nothing at 20 lots or below. ForexVPS's own Axi page says up to $34.99, for a Basic VPS, on Axi's approval.
| Route | Volume | Money in the account | Only if |
|---|---|---|---|
| Axi's credit towards a ForexVPS Basic VPS | More than 20 lots a month | Not stated | A credit of up to $36, not a server, and only if Axi approves the application, for a Basic VPS (Axi: "applies to Basic VPS edition with 1GB of RAM") |
Axi's credit towards a ForexVPS Basic VPS: what its page says, and our notes
“Axi will credit up to $36 of the monthly ForexVPS fee for customers who trade more than 20 lots in a calendar month (applies to Basic VPS edition with 1GB of RAM).” What counts: "more than 20 lots in a calendar month"; the page doesn't say which instruments. If you fall short: The page promises the credit only above 20 lots; it doesn't say what happens below. A capped credit, not a free VPS. You apply on ForexVPS's Axi page: "Your application will be submitted to Axi for approval, and if accepted, your VPS will be provisioned by ForexVPS.net." That page says "up to $34.99" and "This offer is for a Basic VPS"; nothing we read says a plan bought outright is credited. Axi's page also credits "up to $35 of the monthly CNS VPS fee" above 20 lots, with another VPS company. Source
Is it worth trading more to keep it?
Only if you would trade those lots anyway. Lots added to keep a server cost spread and commission, which can come to more than the server.
How to check it with your own numbers
Type what one lot costs you to trade into the checker and it prices the lots you are short. Set that against the page's own fee for a short month, where it names one, and against paying for a VPS outright: the forex VPS cost calculator prices that for your terminals.
