Is NYX a scam?

• Brand: NYX Broker (also styled NYX)
• Legal entity: NYX Markets Ltd, named only in the website footer and privacy policy. It is not named in the client agreement, and no active company registration for it could be located.
• Registered: The privacy policy states 'an international company registered in Istanbul, Turkey'. No Turkish registry record supports this, and Ltd is not a Turkish company form. The only registry record anywhere for that exact name is UK company 11086086, dissolved on 18 June 2019.
• Address: none published on the broker's own website. Its own Facebook page places it in Şişli, Istanbul; listings give a flat in the Propa Plus residence, a 38-unit residential development.
• Website: nyxbroker.com, with the client area at my.nyxbroker.com. The client agreement also names nyxmarket.com as an official company website.
• Only licence: none. No regulator, no licence number, no verification link anywhere on the site.
• Offers: leveraged forex, metals, commodities, indices and crypto CFDs on MetaTrader 5, up to 1:300, plus copy trading, PAMM-style accounts and an introducing-broker scheme. Minimum deposits of 1,000 dollars (ECN), 1,500 dollars (Copy Trade) and 20,000 dollars (Custom).
• Funding: bank transfer and cash at a 'local office' from 5,000 dollars at 6 to 8% each way, or USDT, Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana from 100 dollars. No card or regulated payment provider.
• Not accepted: residents of the USA, the UAE and Turkey, the last being the country where the company says it is registered.
• Age claim: the footer reads 2019 to 2026 and the overview page claims a team with 'over nine years of experience'. Both domains were registered on 9 July 2020 and the earliest site content dates to January 2021.

The verdict does not rest on complaints. It rests on documents the broker publishes itself, read against the Turkish regulator's own register.

• No licence exists. The Capital Markets Board of Türkiye licenses leveraged currency dealing and publishes every authorised intermediary. All 70 are joint-stock companies and none is NYX. The broker names no other regulator, offshore or onshore, on any page of its site in any of its five languages. It takes deposits of up to 20,000 dollars with no supervisor of any kind.
• The contract inverts the withdrawal right. Clause 35 states that if an account loses up to 75% of its balance the client may withdraw all or part of it 'without any restrictions', but that where the trading results in a profit the required volume is 2,000 lots per 100,000 dollars. On a 100,000 dollar deposit that is in the region of 200 million dollars of turnover, which the spread alone would consume. Losses are released; gains are held behind a requirement most clients will never clear.
• And it charges for the exit. The same clause provides that on a withdrawal request the broker takes a commission of up to 15% of the total deposit. The published schedule adds 6 to 8% on the way in and 6 to 8% on the way out for bank transfers and cash.
• There is no identified counterparty. The agreement runs to 14 pages and never names the company, a registration number, a registered office or a country. It says the contract is governed by 'the laws of the State of the Company' and that those courts have exclusive jurisdiction, without saying which State. A client cannot know who holds the money or where to sue. The anti-money-laundering page goes further, asserting that the client's 'movable or immovable properties are confiscated and distrained' and that the agreement may be cancelled 'without any noticing'.
• The fund-safety claims are not true. The page headed 'What NYX do with your money' tells clients that firms like NYX 'are required' to segregate client money, that their money sits in 'segregated client bank (independent trust) accounts at regulated banks' split across 'credit-worthy high street banks such as HSBC', and that it is 'ring-fenced and protected' if NYX becomes insolvent. An unlicensed company is subject to no client-money regime at all, so none of that protection exists. The privacy policy similarly tells clients the firm is subject to 'financial services regulations'.
• The platform belongs to another firm. In English, Persian, Russian and Spanish, the Download MT5 for Windows button serves the Mishov Markets installer from the MetaQuotes network. Mishov Markets' own site serves the identical file and describes itself as a Saint Lucia company, registration 2023-00616, with offices including Tehran, and is itself unregulated. NYX has no MetaTrader server of its own and discloses this arrangement nowhere, not on the platform page and not in the agreement.
• The corporate trail is a dead end. The entity in the footer matches no active registration. The single registry record for the name is a UK private company dissolved on 18 June 2019, more than a year before these domains existed, sitting at a Companies House default address.
• The performance figures are not real. The copy-trading page lists the same named traders twice with different results: Fu Chen at 172% in one block and 103% in the other, ARIA 2020 at 103% and then 48%. Figures that contradict themselves on one page are decoration, not a track record.
• It will not serve its own jurisdiction. The footer refuses residents of Turkey while the privacy policy says the company is registered in Istanbul. An operation that cannot lawfully offer leveraged trading at home and so sells it abroad instead is the regulatory-arbitrage pattern in its plainest form.

Weighing the six dimensions gives 74%. On that evidence we assess the risk of fraud as high. We stop short of calling it confirmed because two things are missing: no regulator anywhere has published a warning naming this domain, and we found no documented pattern of clients reporting that money was not returned.

Note on operating history: the 6.2-year track record rests on domain registration alone. No company incorporation date could be established, so this is an upper bound rather than a confirmed age.
