Before opening an Axi account, many traders want to know at what percentage a stop out happens. In short, maximum leverage is 1:1000, and the official pages for Japan do not state a single stop out level.
This article draws on the official account types page and the Help Centre (confirmed 17 October 2026). It covers margin call notices, the margin level formula and a required margin example. By the end, you will know what to check on your own account.
Conclusion: Axi leverage is up to 1:1000, and no single stop out level is stated officially
- Maximum leverage is 1:1000 (the same for Standard, Premium and Elite)
- The official pages for Japan do not state a single stop out level
- A margin call notice is sent when the margin level falls below 100%
- Margin level is equity divided by required margin, multiplied by 100
- Lowering leverage does not change profit or loss per pip
The figures in this article rely only on Axi's official account types page and Help Centre (confirmed 17 October 2026). Where a level could not be confirmed, we do not guess. We write that no single level is stated officially.
Axi leverage: 1:1000 maximum and the conditions that can change the limit
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Maximum leverage | 1:1000 (Standard, Premium, Elite) |
| Differences by account | Not stated on the official account types page |
| Conditions that change the limit | May differ by account, instrument or balance. The sign-up screen and the latest terms take priority |
| Dynamic margin | A tiered system where leverage falls as positions grow. The Help Centre says it applies to some regions and accounts only |
| FX and spot metals | Product leverage in the contract specifications applies (Help Centre) |
| Other CFDs | Not affected by the account's leverage setting (Help Centre) |
The official account types page shows a maximum of 1000:1 for all three accounts. It does not state any difference in leverage between accounts.
The leverage you can actually use may change with account, instrument or balance. Check it on the sign-up screen and in the latest terms.
The Help Centre does not say whether dynamic margin applies to accounts for Japan. Check the leverage for each instrument in the trading platform and the contract specifications.

Axi margin level and margin call notices
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Margin level | A ratio showing the health of the account. Equity divided by required margin, multiplied by 100 |
| Total required margin | The sum of initial margin and variation margin. It must be kept in the account at all times |
| Initial margin | The minimum balance needed to open a trade |
| Variation margin | The floating profit or loss on open positions |
| Free margin | The amount available for new trades. Equity minus the margin used by open positions |
Axi's Help Centre says a margin call notice is sent when the margin level falls below 100%. It lists four options when you receive one.
- Wait for the price to recover
- Deposit additional funds
- Close the troubled trades
- Hedge (the Help Centre explains the risk of double swaps and of losses on both trades)
The Help Centre does not guarantee that you will have enough time to act after a notice. It states that you are responsible for checking required margin and keeping enough free capital. It also states that Axi has no duty to prevent your losses.
Axi stop out level: no single level is stated officially
A stop out is a mechanism that closes trades automatically when margin runs short. Axi's Help Centre also says that positions may be stopped out automatically if margin is insufficient.
| Item checked | Result |

| How stop out works | Positions may be stopped out automatically if margin is insufficient (Help Centre) |
| Stop out level (%) | No single level is stated on the account types page for Japan or in the Japanese Help Centre |
| Margin call notice | When the margin level falls below 100% (Help Centre) |
| Level differences by account type | Not stated officially |
Axi provides services through several entities. The contracting entity for Japan is shown on the sign-up screen, and in our check it is AxiTrader LLC. Do not read a percentage from guidance for another entity as the level for your own account.
Until you know the level, size your trades on the assumption that you must act before the 100% margin call. Avoid estimating your room from a figure you have not confirmed.
Forex stop out calculation: how to work out margin level and a list of levels by broker →
Worked example: required margin by leverage and room before the margin call
Assume USD/JPY at 150.00 and 1 lot as 100,000 units. The trade value is JPY 15,000,000. Required margin is trade value divided by leverage.
| Leverage | Required margin | Margin level (JPY 100,000 balance) | Floating loss to reach 100% |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1:1000 | JPY 15,000 | about 667% | about JPY 85,000 (about 85 pips) |
| 1:500 | JPY 30,000 | about 333% | about JPY 70,000 (about 70 pips) |
| 1:100 | JPY 150,000 | Cannot hold: balance too low | - |
※ The leverage ratios are examples for the calculation. They do not show settings you can choose at Axi. Because no single stop out level is stated officially, the table shows room up to the 100% margin call notice. Check the units per lot in the contract specifications of your trading platform.
For 1 lot, 1 pip is worth about JPY 1,000. With a JPY 100,000 balance at 1:1000, an adverse move of about 85 pips takes the margin level below 100%.
Lowering leverage from 1:1000 to 1:500 doubles required margin. Profit or loss per pip does not change. With the same balance, the margin level actually falls. What decides your room is trade size and balance.
Four steps to check at Axi to avoid a stop out
- 01Save the contracting entity and the terms
Save the entity name shown on the sign-up screen and the terms that apply. A screenshot is enough.
- 02Find the margin level in your trading platform
In the platform you use, find where equity, required margin and margin level are shown. The labels may differ from screen to screen.
- 03Calculate required margin before you open a trade
Use a tool such as Axi's trading calculator to find the required margin for a position. From the ratio to your balance, estimate your room for an adverse move first.
- 04Ask support for the stop out level
Ask Axi's customer support for the level on your own account. Save the reply together with its date.

Frequently asked questions
Q. What is Axi's maximum leverage?
A. The official account types page shows a maximum of 1000:1 for Standard, Premium and Elite (confirmed 17 October 2026). The actual limit may change with account, instrument or balance, so check the sign-up screen and the latest terms.
Q. What is Axi's stop out level?
A. We could not find a single stop out level on the official account types page for Japan or in the Japanese Help Centre (17 October 2026). Do not guess a figure. Check the level for your own account in the trading screen or by asking Axi support.
Q. How is Axi's margin level calculated?
A. The Help Centre calls it margin level and says to divide equity by required margin and multiply by 100. For example, equity of JPY 100,000 with required margin of JPY 15,000 gives about 667%. Check the label used in your trading platform.
Q. What should I do if I get an Axi margin call notice?
A. The Help Centre says a notice is sent when the margin level falls below 100%. It lists four options: wait for a price recovery, deposit funds, close troubled trades or hedge. Hedging is high risk, and time to act after a notice is not guaranteed. Also consider reducing trade size.
Q. Does lowering Axi leverage make a stop out less likely?
A. No. With the same balance and lot size, lowering leverage raises required margin and lowers the margin level. Profit or loss per pip is set by lot size. To gain room, reduce trade size or increase your balance.
