## The full story

Axe Trader Funding sold Single Axe and Double Axe evaluations plus a Funded Axe instant product, with funding up to $250,000, on cTrader, Match-Trader and DXtrade.

In December 2024 the firm announced an immediate suspension of all trading operations, saying accounts would be paused where they were, without giving a date to resume (Finance Magnates, 17 December 2024). It never reopened. Its UK company, AXE TRADER LTD, was dissolved on 3 June 2025 according to Companies House. No compensation process has been published.

**A note on 'fund recovery' services:** companies that contact traders of collapsed prop firms claiming they can recover lost funds are a well-documented follow-up scam. No legitimate recovery process exists outside official channels or formal insolvency proceedings.
