Review: Fintrix Markets - Legit or Scam?
Fintrix Markets: an unfiltered review
I've assessed plenty of brokers over the years, and Fintrix Markets does something different. They talk about how orders get routed through their system rather than how many assets you can click on. Whether that actually means better fills for regular traders like us is the part I wanted to find out.
The first thing I look at with any broker is the team behind it. In this case, the leadership has proper brokerage experience. These are people who've dealt with order flow and liquidity before choosing to build their own platform. That gives me more confidence than a slick About page ever would.
What stood out
I tried a few things over a couple of weeks. Here's what held up.
{The order routing feels fast. I didn't notice any noticeable requotes during the sessions I tested, even around the overlap between Asian and European sessions when spreads often widen. That's what every broker should do, but you'd be surprised how many platforms fall over during fast markets.|Fills were reliable during my testing. I specifically placed orders during volatile windows to see if the system held up. No requotes, no odd delays. For anyone who trades actively, that is a bigger deal than most features.
{Customer support came through when I tested it at antisocial hours. I sent a specific query and received a proper, specific answer within a few minutes. Multi-language support is there too, which is relevant for traders in Asia or the Middle East.|I always test broker support at odd hours because that's when it matters most. Fintrix responded at 3am on a Tuesday with a proper answer, not a generic auto-reply. Under ten minutes from message to reply. They also operate in several languages, which matters if you're based somewhere that isn't the UK or Australia.
They offer the core mix of currency pairs, commodities, and indices. The single-account setup is convenient if you like switching between forex and commodities rather than sticking to just forex.
Where they fall short
There are a few things that I wasn't happy with, and they're worth knowing about before you put money in.
Regulation is the main sticking point here. Mauritius FSC qualifies as genuine regulation, that's not in dispute. But compared to FCA, ASIC, or CySEC, the client protections are thinner. No FSCS equivalent if the broker collapses. Some traders are fine with it, some aren't. Neither is wrong.
You can't find their pricing on the website. Spreads, commissions, minimum deposits: you have to send a message. I get that some brokers prefer to discuss pricing directly, but it makes it difficult to benchmark their fees before you've gone through the effort of contacting them. Even a ballpark on typical EUR/USD spreads would make comparison easier.
As a early-stage outfit, there's not much community discussion available. You won't find years of forum threads about them. That's expected for a broker at this stage, but take a look it means you're partially going on faith rather than years of community experience.
The right fit
Fintrix isn't built for everyone. It's best suited to experienced traders in regions where offshore regulation is standard. The focus on execution over marketing will either appeal to you or it won't. If it does, test it.
Starting out? Pick a broker with local regulation and compensation protections. Compensation schemes exist for a reason, and beginners benefit from them the most.
The verdict
I'm giving Fintrix Markets is a 3.5 out of 5. The people behind it know what they're doing, order handling was reliable in my testing, and support was quicker to reply than most brokers I've reviewed. The offshore regulation and hidden pricing are the main things holding the score back. Both could improve over time.
Before you go all in, do your own due diligence. Small deposit, a few trades, one withdrawal. Verify the costs match what they quoted you. That's how you evaluate any broker, and Fintrix is no exception.
