Broker Summary

What Wikilix has recorded about SHYING: its history, the licences it holds, its trading conditions and its fees.

Introduction of SHYING

The Forex Trading Industry is growing rapidly, and with that growth, it has become more difficult for traders to choose brokers based on a safe, dependable trading environment and rapid, simple trade execution. Shying Global Limited is a new broker that has gained recognition in the Forex industry for its offshore registration and high-leverage trading opportunities. However, there is a lot more to know about this broker than what meets the eye, and it's essential to research everything about their service.

This analysis provides a comprehensive overview of Shying Global Limited. It will include the broker's history, trading opportunities offered, licensing and regulatory requirements, and the broker's reputation within the industry. Based on our own research and the data we have collected, we will help you learn about the risks and issues associated with trading with Shying Global before you decide to invest with them.

Background and History of SHYING

Incorporated in 2021 in the British Virgin Islands, Shying Global Limited is a popular choice among many traders due to its offshore registration and high-leverage trading options. Although Shying Global Limited is a relatively new company established to provide Forex and CFD trading to retail traders, its primary target clients are located in Europe and Asia.

Currently, Shying Global Limited has no publicly available information on its ownership or management team, and there have been no known corporate announcements of mergers or acquisitions involving the company since its inception. To date, there have been no press releases from the broker, nor is there a website offering information on corporate releases.

Key Features and Offerings

Trading Platforms

The services provided by Shying Global Limited consist of two separate trading platforms. The first platform is MT4, a widely used trading platform with many charting and market analysis capabilities. The second platform is a proprietary web-based platform that allows clients to use basic trading features without any additional software downloads.

Shying Global Limited offers three account types and multiple trading instruments.

1. Standard Account

2. ECN Account

3. Islamic Account/SWP Account

Clients of Shying Global Limited have access to numerous financial instruments, including Major, Minor, and Exotic Currency Pairs; Precious Metals (including but not limited to Gold and Silver); Cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin); and a limited selection of Indices.

Regulations and Licensing

One of the most important aspects of selecting a Forex broker is understanding the broker's regulatory compliance. Although Shying Global Limited is registered as a Company in BVI with Company Number 202100000000, this registration does not represent the Financial Regulation Authority.

In addition, Shying Global Limited is not registered with any major international Financial Regulatory Authorities, such as the FCA (UK), ASIC (Australia), CySEC (Cyprus), MAS (Singapore), FINMA (Switzerland), or the SEC (USA). Furthermore, Shying Global Limited is also not listed on the BVI Financial Services Commission (FSC) website as a licensed Forex broker.

Furthermore, many regulators and Financial Watchdogs have flagged Shying Global Limited as a Clone Trading Firm and a potential scam broker, raising serious concerns about the veracity of this broker and the safety of its clients.

Technology for trading and trading requirements

Trading requirements

Several elements may make Shying Global Limited an attractive choice for specific retail traders, such as low entry costs and high leverage.  The high leverage available (up to 1000:1) varies by traders' jurisdictions and accounts.

SPREADS start FROM 1.0 PIPS ON THE STANDARD ACCOUNT AND 0.0 PIPS ON THE ECN ACCOUNT, WITH COMMISSIONS APPLYING ON THE ECN ACCOUNT.  The minimum deposit for an account with Shying Global is $100.  This provides easy access to traders with limited capital.

Platform Technologies

MetaTrader 4 enables clients to trade on their desktop or mobile devices and provides access to fundamental charting and technical analysis tools. It also offers customers access to its proprietary web platform via their internet browsers. However, it does not offer advanced features such as API access, algorithmic trading, or the ability to copy trades onto other traders' accounts (copy trading).

Shying Global Limited has not yet developed a mobile application for its customers, which could result in a loss of convenience for customers who prefer trading on mobile devices.

Shying Global Limited claims to offer a straightforward fee structure with no deposit or withdrawal fees, which is appealing to cost-conscious traders. However, these claims have not been independently verified, and caution is advised given the broker’s unregulated status.

Commissions apply only to the ECN Account, ranging between $3 and $7 per lot (round turn). The Standard Account operates on a spread-only basis with no additional commissions. There is no official disclosure regarding inactivity fees or currency conversion charges.

User Experience and Market Reputation

Shying Global Limited has a weaker internet presence than other online forex brokers. There are no profiles or reviews of Shying Global Limited on major online broker rating platforms (such as Trustpilot, ForexPeaceArmy, or BrokerCheck), which is concerning for potential clients. There are many complaints on social media and trading forums about withdrawal delays, unresponsive customer support, and difficulty contacting the company. The regulatory body has warned people that Shying Global Limited is likely a clone firm or a potential scam.

Shying Global Limited offers several advantages for traders, including the option to open an account with a small deposit and access high leverage. However, without Shying Global Limited being regulated by any government authority, the upside of any potential trading benefits alone cannot justify the risks associated with the lack of regulation.

Recent Developments

The corporate profile of Shying Global Limited has declined significantly in recent corporate announcements and regulatory progress since 2024, when the company was first identified as a non-regulated entity. Shying Global Limited continues to be flagged on an increasing number of scam watch lists and clone firm alerts.

Shying Global Limited was explicitly named as a reported scam company on the "List of Reported Scam Companies in 2025 - Part 3" from cryptolegal.uk. There is no indication from any sources that Shying Global Limited has made any movement toward obtaining a legitimate regulatory license or becoming more transparent in its business dealings.

Conclusion

Shying Global Limited markets itself as a low-cost, high-leverage forex broker that provides access to some of the most popular trading platforms (such as MetaTrader 4). Most importantly, they are not regulated, lack transparency, and have a negative history with the financial watchdog community. As previously stated, this is a significant cause for concern.

 

Any potential traders are advised to seek out regulated brokers with an active licence and operate under regulation, rather than risk their investments with an unregulated company that does not provide sufficient transparency into its operations. The risk of losing funds and the limited customer service capabilities of a broker far outweigh the advantages of Shying Global Limited's trading conditions.
