Trustworthiness & Regulation

Infinox is a well-established broker, founded in 2009, and is regulated by multiple authorities including the UK FCA, MU FSC, ZA FSCA, and BS SCB. This multi-jurisdictional regulatory oversight enhances its trustworthiness and reliability. However, it's important to remember that even highly regulated financial firms have faced failures in the past.

The broker segregates client funds and provides negative balance protection across all its entities. Despite being highly popular, ranked 45 out of 815 brokers based on organic traffic with 672,975 monthly visits, Infinox currently has zero user reviews, which could be a concern for potential clients.

It is ranked 104 out of 815 forex brokers based on user ratings and 43 out of 815 based on expert ratings, indicating a strong but not top-tier position in the market. The broker is privately owned and does not provide its financials publicly, which may impact transparency for some investors.

INFINOX Capital Ltd	United Kingdom - UK FCA		up to £85,000			30 : 1

Deposit Insurance

Infinox supports investor compensation schemes under some of its regulatory frameworks. Specifically, the UK FCA mandates a deposit compensation scheme that compensates investors if an authorized financial firm fails. This scheme adds a layer of security for traders under the UK FCA regulation.

However, it's worth noting that other regulatory jurisdictions such as MU FSC, ZA FSCA, and BS SCB do not provide such compensation schemes, which may be a consideration for risk-averse investors.

Spreads and Costs

Infinox generally offers competitive spreads, particularly in the Forex and Commodities asset classes. Compared to industry-leading brokers, its Forex average spreads are in line with the market, while its Commodities spreads are relatively low.

However, spreads on indices can be higher compared to some competitors.

Combined Spread/Commission Costs by Asset Class Compared to Market Leading Brokers

Crypto averages comprise (BTCUSD, ETHUSD), forex averages comprise (EURUSD, USDJPY, GBPJPY, EURGBP, AUDNZD, CADCHF), indices averages comprise (US30, AUS200), and commodities average comprises (XAUUSD, XAGUSD) and that data is sampled every 10 seconds for 24 hours to calculate the average. Forex is stated in pips, and the others are stated in base currency. All spreads including both spread and commission calculated in.

Our data comes from our sophisticated spread analyzer tool, which collects live account information and syncs with our performance analytics system. To compare all brokers and instruments with the latest live data, visit our spread analyzer tool. A spread is the difference between the bid (sell) and ask (buy) price of an asset and can vary widely between brokers and account types.

Some brokers charge higher spreads but no commission, while others charge both, making it crucial to assess the total cost, which includes both spread and commission. Our values reflect this all-in cost. Note that some brokers may set low costs on popular pairs like EURUSD but higher rates on other instruments.

Many brokers also advertise "as low as" spreads that may not reflect the true average or include commissions. Comparing true all-in cost averages across various instruments and asset classes is vital for accurate assessment.

Swap Rates/Financing Fees

Swap fees, also known as overnight fees, are charged when a trading position is held overnight. Positive swap rates result in a payout, while negative swap rates incur a cost.

Infinox does not publish its swap rates, which can be a disadvantage compared to other brokers that provide these fees.

Does Infinox Offer Islamic/Swap-free Accounts?

Islamic trading accounts, also known as swap-free accounts, comply with Sharia law by not charging or earning swap or rollover interest on overnight positions. Infinox offers swap-free accounts for traders who adhere to Islamic finance principles.

Traders can apply for these accounts by providing appropriate documentation and verifying their eligibility through the broker's customer support.

These accounts are available on both MT4 and MT5 platforms, ensuring that Muslim traders can engage in forex trading without violating their religious beliefs.

Other Fees

In addition to spreads and swap rates, Infinox charges other fees that traders should be aware of:

Comparison to other Brokers

Infinox, founded in 2009, is a well-established broker regulated by multiple authorities including the UK FCA, MU FSC, ZA FSCA, and BS SCB. This multi-jurisdictional regulatory oversight enhances its trustworthiness. However, with zero user reviews, potential clients might find it challenging to gauge user satisfaction compared to other brokers like IC Markets or FBS, which have numerous positive reviews.

In terms of spreads and costs, Infinox offers competitive rates in the Forex and Commodities asset classes, but its indices spreads are higher compared to some industry-leading brokers like IC Markets and Vantage Markets. The broker's popularity, with 672,975 monthly visits, indicates a strong client base, but it is still ranked 104 out of 815 forex brokers based on user ratings, suggesting room for improvement in customer satisfaction.

Infinox provides a variety of trading platforms, including MT4, MT5, IX Social, and IX Sync, catering to different trading preferences. High leverage options up to 1000:1 are available under MU FSC regulation, which can be appealing to experienced traders but also risky for beginners.

Overall, while Infinox is a reliable and well-regulated broker, traders may want to consider their specific needs and compare with other brokers before making a decision.

Trading Platforms - Mobile, Desktop, Automated

Infinox offers a range of trading platforms suitable for various trading styles and preferences:

MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 are the primary platforms offered by Infinox, known for their robust charting tools, extensive range of indicators, and automated trading capabilities through Expert Advisors (EAs). MT4 uses the MQL4 programming language, which is relatively easy to learn, while MT5 uses MQL5, offering more advanced features but with a slightly steeper learning curve.

IX Social and IX Sync are additional platforms focusing on social trading and trade synchronization across devices, respectively. However, these platforms do not support automated trading.

Overall, Infinox provides a comprehensive suite of platforms to cater to different trading needs, from beginners to advanced traders.

What Can you Trade?

Infinox offers a diverse range of tradable instruments across various asset classes:

Infinox primarily offers CFDs (Contracts for Difference), which allow traders to speculate on the price movements of assets without owning the underlying asset. This includes forex pairs, cryptocurrencies, stocks, indices, commodities, bonds, and futures.

Trading CFDs enables the use of leverage, which can amplify both gains and losses, making it a double-edged sword. Traders should carefully manage their risk and be aware of the potential for significant losses.

For more detailed information on the individual instruments available, visit Infinox's official website.

Available Leverage

Infinox offers varying leverage levels depending on the regulatory jurisdiction and the type of instrument being traded. Under the UK FCA regulation, retail clients can access leverage up to 30:1.

In contrast, clients trading under the MU FSC regulation can utilize leverage up to 1000:1. The ZA FSCA regulation allows for leverage up to 400:1, and the BS SCB regulation offers leverage up to 200:1.

High leverage can increase the potential for profit but also significantly raises the risk of substantial losses, especially for inexperienced traders.

Prohibited Countries

Infinox does not provide services to residents of certain countries due to regulatory restrictions. As of the latest update, Infinox cannot open accounts for residents of the United States, Iran, North Korea, Belgium, and a few other jurisdictions.

Potential clients should check with Infinox's customer support for the most up-to-date list of prohibited countries.
