Lirunex review.

Overview

TrueBroker is a free broker safety checker, and this page is our review of Lirunex, scored 4.0 out of 10 across regulation, fees, platform, support and reviews.

Lirunex is a CFD broker whose regulated entity, LIRUNEX LIMITED, is registered in Cyprus as HE 353862 (Cyprus Registrar of Companies, status Active, registered 24/03/2016) and holds CySEC licence 338/17, confirmed on the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission register. The single most important thing to know before reading further: that CySEC licence, per the register’s own scope note, covers the lirunex.eu site reviewed here, but does not cover a separate site trading under the same brand, lirunex.com, which offers 1:1000 leverage with no retail loss disclosure. Every page we fetched from lirunex.eu also carries a banner reading “Lirunex is changing trading name, namely, LX Prime. Lirunex is changing its domain address to www.lxprime.eu,” so the brand and domain are mid-transition at the time of this review.

Overview Table

Facts List

• LIRUNEX LIMITED is confirmed on the CySEC register under licence 338/17, but the register’s own scope note says this covers lirunex.eu and not the separate lirunex.com site, which per an earlier review of that site advertises 1:1000 leverage with no retail loss disclosure.
• On the FCA register, LIRUNEX LTD’s entry (FRN 792308) carries a status of “No longer authorised,” effective 1 February 2023.
• As HE 353862, LIRUNEX LIMITED appears on the Cyprus Registrar of Companies as a Limited Company with status Active, registered 24/03/2016.
• The UAE Capital Market Authority’s SCA register confirms LIRUNEX FINANCIAL SERVICES L.L.C as CP-0001614, status Active, but lists the firm’s website as lirunex.com, not lirunex.eu, the site this review covers.
• That register publishes a CP code and not a licence number, so the number 20200000423 quoted elsewhere for this brand cannot be matched on it, and none of its 328 entries lists lirunex.eu as its website.
• We searched 1,444 warning-list entries mirrored from CySEC, the FCA and the FSC Mauritius, running a positive control on six registers first, and Lirunex appears on none of them.
• CySEC’s own List of Non-Approved Domains names a separate site, lirunexltd.com, as not authorised to provide investment services under any Cypriot licence; CySEC does not say which firm it imitates, and lirunexltd.com is not the Lirunex entity reviewed here.
• Lirunex’s Trading Account Types page labels its per-lot fee “Commission per side per lot” in the account table, then footnote ➁ on the same page calls the LX-PRIME figure “the total commission … per lot,” leaving it unclear whether the quoted number is charged once per trade or twice.
• Lirunex’s regulation page states the Investor Compensation Fund caps payable compensation at “twenty thousand Euros (EUR 20,000), or 90% of the covered investor’s claim, whichever is lower, regardless of how many trading accounts the client has.”
• Lirunex’s deposit and withdrawal page charges no listed method fee-free: bank wire and SEPA deposits are free of a Lirunex fee but withdrawals cost 35 EUR (wire) or 6 EUR (SEPA), and card deposits and withdrawals each carry a 2% Lirunex fee.

Why Lirunex’s CySEC licence doesn’t cover the whole brand

The CySEC register confirms licence 338/17 for LIRUNEX LIMITED in an active-format entry with licence number, date and registration details, which is a financial-services authorisation rather than a plain company listing. But the register check on that licence is explicit that it covers only part of the readers of this brand: lirunex.com, checked separately, serves an offshore proposition at 1:1000 leverage with no retail loss disclosure, and that proposition sits outside the CySEC licence. Elsewhere, LIRUNEX LTD’s FCA registration (FRN 792308) shows as “No longer authorised” on the FCA register as of 1 February 2023, and the UAE Capital Market Authority’s SCA register confirms an active CP-0001614 entry for LIRUNEX FINANCIAL SERVICES L.L.C. while giving lirunex.com, not lirunex.eu, as that entity’s website. That register shows a CP code and not a licence number, so the number quoted elsewhere for this brand cannot be matched on it, and none of its 328 entries lists lirunex.eu. A claimed Labuan FSA credential (MB/20/0050), linked from lirunex.eu’s own site header, belongs to a real licensee: the Labuan FSA’s directory lists Lirunex Limited as a money broker, though the directory does not publish licence numbers, so the number itself is not confirmed.

What Lirunex charges to deposit and withdraw

Lirunex’s fee page sets a 300 EUR/USD minimum for bank wire and SEPA deposits, clearing in 24 hours with no Lirunex-applied fee, though the bank or payment provider may charge its own. Card and e-wallet deposits (Mastercard, Visacard, Epay.bg, Giropay, Mistercash, Sofort, Webmoney) have a 50 EUR/USD minimum and carry what the page itself labels a “Lirunex service fee” of 2%. On withdrawal, the same page lists a 35 EUR fee for Global Transfer wires, a 6 EUR fee for SEPA, and a 2% fee for Mastercard/Visacard withdrawals, the last taking 7-10 banking days to process. Lirunex’s three account tiers, LX-STANDARD, LX-PRIME and LX-PRO, scale from a 300 EUR/USD minimum deposit with spreads “as low as 2 pips” and no per-lot commission, up to a 10,000 EUR/USD minimum with spreads “as low as 0.0 pips” and an 4 EUR/USD commission per lot, per Lirunex’s Trading Account Types page.

Key Takeaways

The overall score is 4 out of 10, built on regulation at 5.2, fees at 4.1, platform at 2 and support at 4.3, with a reviews figure of 4.6. The platform figure is the low point, and the register and evidence below explain why.

What the CySEC licence actually covers

• The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission register confirms licence 338/17 for LIRUNEX LIMITED, an active entry with licence number, date and registration details. That is a financial services authorisation, not a bare company listing.
• The register check notes this licence covers only part of the readers of the Lirunex brand. lirunex.com runs an offshore proposition at 1:1000 leverage with no retail loss disclosure, a proposition the CySEC licence does not cover.
• Cyprus’s Registrar of Companies confirms the underlying company, LIRUNEX LIMITED, registered as HE 353862, a limited company registered 24 March 2016 and marked Active. That is a company registry entry, not a regulatory licence, and the two should not be read as the same thing.
• The FCA register shows FRN 792308, held by LIRUNEX LTD, as “No longer authorised” with effect from 1 February 2023. The firm’s own disclosure of this lapsed status matches what the FCA register shows.
• On the UAE side, the Capital Market Authority (SCA) register lists LIRUNEX FINANCIAL SERVICES L.L.C. as CP-0001614, status Active, with lirunex.com given as its website, not lirunex.eu, the site this review covers. The register publishes that CP code rather than the licence number the firm quotes elsewhere, so the company is confirmed on the register and the number is not.
• A separate licence number, 20200000423, cannot be matched on that list, which publishes CP codes and not licence numbers, and none of the 328 listed companies gives lirunex.eu as its website.
• The Labuan FSA directory lists Lirunex Limited as a licensed money broker, which fits the MB prefix of the claimed licence MB/20/0050; the directory does not publish licence numbers, so the number itself is unconfirmed.

The redirect and the offshore site

Every page fetched from lirunex.eu carries a banner stating: “Lirunex is changing trading name, namely, LX Prime. Lirunex is changing its domain address to www.lxprime.eu.” The site under review is mid-transition to a new domain and brand.

Lirunex’s own CySEC warning matters here too. CySEC’s List of Non-Approved Domains names lirunexltd.com as a website not authorised to provide investment services under any Cypriot licence. CySEC does not say which firm that domain imitates, so this is not a listing against the firm under review, but it is a live risk for anyone searching the Lirunex name and landing on the wrong site. Our search of 1,444 warning-list entries mirrored from CySEC, the FCA and the FSC Mauritius turned up no match for Lirunex itself.

What Lirunex’s fee pages show

• The account types page lists three tiers: LX-STANDARD at a €/$300 minimum with spreads from 2 pips and no per-lot commission; LX-PRIME at €/$1,000 with spreads from 0.6 pips and an €8 per-side, per-lot commission; and LX-PRO at €/$10,000 with spreads from 0.0 pips and a €4 per-lot commission.
• That same account types page carries a contradiction worth flagging directly: footnote 2 on LX-PRIME calls its €8 figure “the total commission … per lot,” while the page header labels it “Commission per side per lot,” and the homepage separately calls the LX-PRO $4 figure “Commission Per Round Turn Lot.” A per-side figure is double a round-turn figure for the same nominal trade, and the site does not resolve which basis applies to which account.
• The deposits and withdrawals page states a 0% Lirunex fee on bank wire, SEPA and Global Transfer deposits, with a minimum of 300 EUR/USD and clearing in 24 hours, though the receiving bank or payment provider may apply its own charge.
• Card and e-wallet deposits (Mastercard, Visacard, Epay.bg, Giropay, Mistercash, Sofort, Webmoney) carry a 2% charge the fee page itself labels “Lirunex service fee,” with a 50 EUR/USD minimum. That is a fee the broker applies itself, not a pass-through from the card network.
• Withdrawals cost money by every published route: 35 EUR by Global Transfer wire, 6 EUR by SEPA, and 2% by Mastercard or Visacard, the last taking 7 to 10 banking days to process. The fee page names no free withdrawal method.

Terms that bind a client

• The Legal Documents page states the Investor Compensation Fund cap in these words: “maximum payable compensation to each covered Client of the Company shall be equal to twenty thousand Euros (EUR 20,000), or 90% of the covered investor’s claim, whichever is lower, regardless of how many trading accounts the client has.” A client with losses above that ceiling, or holding several accounts, recovers no more than that combined cap if the firm fails.
• Footnote 1 on the account types page states that “a maximum leverage of up to 1:100 can be offered only to Professional Clients,” while Negative Balance Protection is stated as offered specifically “to all retail clients.” A client who accepts reclassification to Professional status for higher leverage moves outside the category the firm’s own pages tie to Negative Balance Protection.

Why platform scores so low, and what Lirunex does not name

We read every page on lirunex.eu that could plausibly name a trading platform: homepage, account types, instruments, deposits, regulation, contact and FAQ. None of them names one. The FAQ page refers only to “the trading platform,” without saying which. MT4 and MT5 are named only on lirunex.com, the separate offshore site running the 1:1000 leverage proposition outside this CySEC licence, not confirmed as available to the retail clients this licence covers.

Support channels Lirunex publishes

The contact page lists five separate email addresses split by function (general inquiries, reception and transmission, account inquiries, support inquiries, and document verification), a Cyprus phone line staffed Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., a fax number, and a Larnaca office address. That is a specific, checkable set of contact points, which is more than the platform page offers.

Licenses & Regulation

Lirunex’s own regulation page identifies the entity behind lirunex.eu as LIRUNEX LIMITED, a Cyprus company. We searched the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission register directly and confirmed licence 338/17 there, listed under CySEC’s register of licensed Cypriot investment firms with an active licence entry giving the licence number, date and registration details. That is a financial-services authorisation, not just a company listing, but it covers only part of what the brand serves: lirunex.com, an offshore proposition, offers 1:1000 leverage with no retail loss disclosure, and CySEC’s licence 338/17 does not reach that site.

We also checked the Cyprus Registrar of Companies, via the CyprusRegistry.com mirror of that official register, and confirmed LIRUNEX LIMITED as company HE 353862, a Limited Company registered 24 March 2016 with status Active. That register confirms the company exists; it says nothing about a licence to provide investment services, which is a separate question answered by the CySEC entry above.

Why LIRUNEX LTD’s FCA number no longer helps a UK reader

Our earlier review’s regulatory table names LIRUNEX LTD against FCA reference number 792308. We searched the FCA register directly and confirmed that reference is held by LIRUNEX LTD, but its status there is “No longer authorised”, effective 1 February 2023, not Authorised. The firm’s own disclosure that this permission has ended matches what the register shows, so this is a case of the register corroborating an ended permission rather than contradicting a live claim.

The UAE listings do not match the site under review

We searched the UAE Capital Market Authority (SCA) register of licensed companies directly. LIRUNEX FINANCIAL SERVICES L.L.C appears there under code CP-0001614, status Active, listed since 2026, with lirunex.com given as its website. That is not lirunex.eu, the site this review covers. The register publishes a CP code rather than the licence number the firm itself quotes, so the company is confirmed on the register and the number the firm cites is not.

Separately, our earlier review’s regulatory table also names a Capital Market Authority number, 20200000423, for “Lirunex Financial Services L.L.C” via lirunex.com. The SCA register does not publish licence numbers, so that number cannot be matched against it, and none of its 328 entries lists lirunex.eu as its website. Before running that search we ran a positive control against a firm known to be listed, on this register among six others, so an empty result reflects absence rather than a broken search. Our earlier review describes the credential tied to that number as Category 5, “Financial Consultation and Introduction of Financial Services only”, and per that same source the entity “does not provide investment advice, execute transactions on behalf of clients, or manage client funds or assets”; that makes it a referral registration rather than a brokerage authorisation.

Credentials we could not check

A header link on Lirunex.eu points to labuan.lirunex.com, where the site describes itself as authorised and regulated by Labuan FSA under license number MB/20/0050. The Labuan FSA’s own directory lists Lirunex Limited as a money broker at a Labuan address, with a lirunex.com contact email, so the licensee is real; the directory does not publish licence numbers, so MB/20/0050 itself is not confirmed. Per the earlier review, the labuan.lirunex.com hostname did not resolve when checked by DNS from two countries. Our earlier review also reports an “MT4 Main Label License” from MetaQuotes printed against the firm’s Hong Kong entity in the same block as its financial licences; that is a software vendor agreement, not a financial-services authorisation, and we hold no register for MetaQuotes to check it against either way.

What Lirunex’s own terms say binds a client if the firm fails

The regulation page states the Investor Compensation Fund caps payouts: “maximum payable compensation to each covered Client of the Company shall be equal to twenty thousand Euros (EUR 20,000), or 90% of the covered investor’s claim, whichever is lower, regardless of how many trading accounts the client has.” A client’s recoverable compensation is capped at that figure or 90% of the claim, whichever is lower, no matter how many accounts they hold with the firm.

The account types page states, in footnote marked ➀, that “a maximum leverage of up to 1:100 can be offered only to Professional Clients,” while Negative Balance Protection is stated as offered specifically “to all retail clients.” A client who accepts reclassification as a Professional Client to access leverage above the retail cap moves outside the category the firm’s pages tie to Negative Balance Protection.

Every page we fetched from lirunex.eu carries a banner stating: “Lirunex is changing trading name, namely, LX Prime. Lirunex is changing its domain address to www.lxprime.eu.” Per our earlier review, the destination domain, lxprime.eu, discloses an 85.71% retail loss rate for the same legal entity and licence, against 36.84% shown on lirunex.eu currently, so the brand is mid-transition to a domain carrying a different disclosed loss rate under the same CySEC licence.

The warning list search and a lookalike domain

We searched 1,444 warning-list entries mirrored from CySEC, the FCA and the FSC Mauritius, and Lirunex appears on none of them. That count covers only the lists we mirror, not every regulator anywhere, but it is a clean result across those three. One related entry did turn up: CySEC’s List of Non Approved Domains names lirunexltd.com as a website not authorised to provide investment services under any Cypriot licence. CySEC does not say that domain imitates Lirunex specifically, and lirunexltd.com is not the firm reviewed here; a reader searching for Lirunex could land on it by mistake, which is the risk worth naming, not a finding against LIRUNEX LIMITED itself.

Terms and Conditions, Client Agreement and Risk Disclosure PDFs linked from the Legal Documents page failed text extraction across all four countries we deep crawled (UK, UAE, Indonesia, Australia), so the binding contract language behind the account and regulation pages used here could not be read directly.

How to Trade

Lirunex’s Cyprus-regulated site, lirunex.eu, lists five instrument groups on its markets page: Forex (Major and Minor pairs), Spot Metals (gold and silver, listed as XAUUSD and XAGUSD), Energies (UKOIL, USOIL and Natural Gas), a wide list of US and European single-stock CFDs under Shares, and cash index CFDs such as US 30, US 500 and Germany 30 under Indices. Every one of these is traded as a CFD, and the markets page carries per-symbol spread and swap tables rather than a single headline number.

How Lirunex executes and closes out a position

All three of Lirunex’s account tiers use the same execution model: Instant Execution, described on the account-types page as STP/NDD (straight-through processing, no dealing desk). The same page sets two numbers that bind every open position regardless of tier: a margin call at 80% and a stop out at 50%. Position size is bounded too, at a minimum of 0.01 lots and a maximum of 100 lots per trade.

Leverage is tiered by client classification. The account-types page states in a footnote that “a maximum leverage of up to 1:100 can be offered only to Professional Clients,” which sits above the retail caps (1:5 to 1:30) that apply otherwise. The account-types page states Negative Balance Protection is offered “to all retail clients” specifically, so a client who accepts reclassification as a Professional Client to reach the higher leverage moves outside the category the firm’s own pages tie to that protection.

Lirunex’s three account tiers

The account-types page sets out LX-STANDARD, LX-PRIME and LX-PRO as tiers of spread and commission rather than of instrument access:

• LX-STANDARD: minimum deposit €/$300, spreads “as low as” 2 pips, commission per side per lot €/$0.
• LX-PRIME: minimum deposit €/$1,000, spreads “as low as” 0.6 pips, commission per side per lot €/$8.
• LX-PRO: minimum deposit €/$10,000, spreads “as low as” 0.0 pips, commission per side per lot €/$4.

All three tiers carry the same stated guarantees: segregation of client funds, negative balance protection and hedging are each marked with a checkmark on the account-types page.

The commission figures themselves are not consistent across Lirunex’s own pages. The account-types page labels the LX-PRIME charge “Commission per side per lot,” but footnote ➁ on that same page calls it the total commission for LX-PRIME … per lot, and the homepage separately labels the LX-PRO $4 figure “Commission Per Round Turn Lot.” A per-side commission is charged twice on a round trip (once to open, once to close); a round-turn commission is charged once for the whole trade. Reading the account-types page alone does not tell a client which of these applies to LX-PRIME, so the real cost of a closed trade on that tier is ambiguous by a factor of two.

What platform Lirunex actually runs

We checked lirunex.eu’s homepage, account-types, instruments, deposits, regulation, contact and FAQ pages for a named trading platform and found none; the FAQ page refers only to “the trading platform” without naming it. MT4 and MT5 are named, but only on lirunex.com, the separate offshore site that our earlier review describes as advertising 1:1000 leverage with no retail loss disclosure, not on lirunex.eu itself. On the evidence we hold, retail clients of the CySEC-regulated entity are not told which software they will be trading on before they open an account.

What a lost account is actually worth at Lirunex

The regulation page on lirunex.eu states the Investor Compensation Fund cap in full: the maximum payable compensation to each covered Client of the Company shall be equal to twenty thousand Euros (EUR 20,000), or 90% of the covered investor’s claim, whichever is lower, regardless of how many trading accounts the client has. That cap is fixed per client, not per account, and it is the backstop only if Lirunex itself becomes unable to meet its obligations, not a guarantee against trading losses.

Account Types

Lirunex publishes three tiers on its accounts page, LX-STANDARD, LX-PRIME and LX-PRO, and prices them by minimum deposit, spread and commission rather than by any bonus or promotional tier.

The three Lirunex account tiers

• LX-STANDARD: minimum deposit €/$300, spreads “as low as 2 pips”, commission per side per lot €/$0.
• LX-PRIME: minimum deposit €/$1000, spreads “as low as 0.6 pips”, commission per side per lot €/$8.
• LX-PRO: minimum deposit €/$10000, spreads “as low as 0.0 pips”, commission per side per lot €/$4.

All three are described on the same page as Instant Execution (STP/NDD), with margin call set at 80%, stop out at 50%, and a minimum trade size of 0.01 lots up to a maximum of 100 lots. The page also states that segregation of funds, negative balance protection and hedging apply across all three tiers.

The commission figure does not add up cleanly

The Account Types page labels the LX-PRIME charge “Commission per side per lot” at €8, but footnote 2 on that same page calls it the total commission for LX-PRIME … per lot, and Lirunex’s homepage separately labels the LX-PRO $4 figure “Commission Per Round Turn Lot”. A per-side figure is double a round-turn figure for the same nominal number, so a client reading the accounts page cannot tell whether the quoted commission is charged once per trade or twice, once on opening and once on closing. That makes the real per-trade cost of LX-PRIME and LX-PRO ambiguous by a factor of two, and it sits in a footnote rather than the account comparison itself.

What funding a Lirunex account costs

The firm’s fee page shows no charge on its own for bank wire, Global Transfer or SEPA deposits (minimum 300 EUR/USD, cleared within 24 hours), beyond whatever the bank or payment provider applies separately. Card and e-wallet deposits, covering Mastercard, Visacard, Epay.bg, Giropay, Mistercash, Sofort and Webmoney, carry a 2% charge that the fee page itself labels “Lirunex service fee”, on a minimum deposit of 50 EUR/USD. That means a client funding a LX-STANDARD account by card at the minimum pays 6 EUR to Lirunex before placing a single trade.

Withdrawals are not fee free by any published route. The same fee page lists 35 EUR on a Global Transfer withdrawal, 6 EUR on SEPA, and 2% on Mastercard or Visacard withdrawals, the last of which the page says takes 7 to 10 banking days to process. E-wallet methods are marked “not applicable for Withdrawals,” and the page notes some deposit methods are not applicable in every jurisdiction.

Leverage and the professional client trade-off

A footnote on the Account Types page states that “a maximum leverage of up to 1:100 can be offered only to Professional Clients,” while the regulation page describes Negative Balance Protection as offered specifically “to all retail clients.” A client who accepts reclassification as a Professional Client to get the higher leverage therefore moves outside the client category the firm’s own pages tie to negative balance protection.

If something goes wrong: the compensation cap

Lirunex’s legal documents, read directly, state that the maximum payable compensation to each covered Client of the Company shall be equal to twenty thousand Euros (EUR 20,000), or 90% of the covered investor’s claim, whichever is lower, regardless of how many trading accounts the client has. That cap applies once per client across every account they hold with the firm, not once per account, under the Cyprus Investor Compensation Fund arrangement referenced on the regulation page.

What the accounts page does not name

Across Lirunex’s homepage, account types, instruments, deposits, regulation, contact and FAQ pages, no trading platform is named anywhere on the firm’s own site; the FAQ mentions only “the trading platform,” and execution is described only as “Instant Execution (STP/NDD).” It is the separate lirunex.com site that names MT4 and MT5, and our earlier review describes that site as an offshore, unregulated proposition rather than the CySEC entity covered here; for that reason we cannot confirm those are the platforms actually provided to a retail client opening one of the three accounts listed above.

Negative Balance Protection

Lirunex’s account-types page carries the same two numbers across all three of its tiers, LX-STANDARD, LX-PRIME and LX-PRO: a margin call at 80% and a stop out at 50%, with a minimum trade size of 0.01 lots and a maximum of 100 lots per trade. Next to those figures, all three tiers carry a checkmark for “negative balance protection,” alongside separate checkmarks for segregation of funds and hedging.

Who Lirunex’s negative balance protection actually covers

The account-types page does not qualify that checkmark by client type. The only footnote on the page states that “a maximum leverage of up to 1:100 can be offered only to Professional Clients,” a leverage tier not open to retail accounts, which under the CySEC framework are capped lower. A client who applies for reclassification as a Professional Client in order to trade above the retail leverage cap is stepping into a tier the page’s negative balance protection checkmark does not address one way or the other. The account-types page does not state what protection, if any, applies to a Professional Client’s account once reclassified.

What happens if Lirunex cannot meet its obligations

Separately from negative balance protection, Lirunex’s regulation page sets out the ceiling on what the Cyprus Investor Compensation Fund would pay out if the firm itself failed. It states that the maximum payable compensation to each covered Client of the Company shall be equal to twenty thousand Euros (EUR 20,000), or 90% of the covered investor’s claim, whichever is lower, regardless of how many trading accounts the client has. That figure caps recoverable compensation per client at EUR 20,000, or at 90% of a smaller claim, and the “regardless of how many trading accounts” wording means running several accounts with Lirunex does not raise the ceiling. Any loss above that amount, should the firm become unable to pay, falls outside the fund’s cover.

The licence that carries these protections does not cover every Lirunex site

The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission register confirms licence 338/17 as an active entry for the Cypriot investment firm behind lirunex.eu, the site the account terms and the Investor Compensation Fund clause above are both drawn from. But the same register check found that this licence covers only part of the readers of the Lirunex brand: lirunex.com runs an offshore proposition advertising 1:1000 leverage with no retail loss disclosure, and that proposition sits outside what licence 338/17 authorises. A client who ends up trading through that offshore site, rather than through lirunex.eu, is trading at leverage ten times the professional-client maximum quoted above, under an entity the CySEC licence does not extend to, and the margin call, stop out and negative balance protection terms quoted from the account-types page describe lirunex.eu’s accounts, not that offshore proposition.

Our earlier review adds that lirunex.com names entities in Mauritius, the UAE and Hong Kong rather than the Cyprus entity, and that the destination domain Lirunex is currently migrating to, lxprime.eu, discloses a retail loss rate of 85.71% against the 36.84% shown on lirunex.eu for the same legal entity and licence. Every page fetched from lirunex.eu during this check carried a banner stating that “Lirunex is changing trading name, namely, LX Prime. Lirunex is changing its domain address to www.lxprime.eu,” meaning a visitor following that redirect today would land on a page disclosing a materially higher proportion of retail accounts losing money than the site the account terms above were read from.

What we could not check

The negative balance protection checkmark and the margin call and stop out levels above come from Lirunex’s account-types page, not from the Risk Disclosure or Client Agreement documents that would normally set out how a stop out is executed and what, if anything, a client owes if a position closes through a gap. Those PDFs, linked from Lirunex’s own Legal Documents page, failed text extraction across every country version of the site pulled for this review, so the clause-level wording behind the account page’s summary has not been read here and cannot be quoted.

Trading Instruments

Lirunex’s account types page groups what it offers into five instrument categories: forex (major and minor pairs), spot metals (gold and silver, listed as XAUUSD and XAGUSD), energies (UKOIL, USOIL and natural gas), shares (a long list of US and European single stock CFDs) and indices (cash index CFDs including US 30, US 500, Germany 30 and UK 100), each with its own spread and swap table on the markets page.

How Lirunex prices access to those instruments

The same markets sit behind three account tiers on lirunex.eu. LX-STANDARD needs a minimum deposit of 300 EUR/USD, quotes spreads “as low as” 2 pips and charges no commission per lot. LX-PRIME needs 1,000 EUR/USD, quotes spreads “as low as” 0.6 pips and charges a commission of 8 EUR/USD per lot. LX-PRO needs 10,000 EUR/USD, quotes spreads “as low as” 0.0 pips and charges a commission of 4 EUR/USD per lot. All three list the same trade limits (0.01 to 100 lots), the same margin call level (80%) and stop out level (50%), and all three tick boxes for segregation of funds, negative balance protection and hedging, per the account types page.

The commission figure is not consistent within that same page. The account types page labels the LX-PRIME charge “Commission per side per lot”, but its own footnote calls the identical figure the total commission for LX-PRIME … per lot, while the homepage separately labels the LX-PRO 4 USD figure “Commission Per Round Turn Lot”. A per side commission is double a round turn commission for the same headline number, so a reader cannot tell from the site whether the quoted figure is charged once per trade or twice, once on opening and once on closing.

What Lirunex does not name

Nowhere on lirunex.eu, not on the homepage, the account types page, the markets page, the deposits page, the regulation page, the contact page or the FAQ, is a trading platform actually named. The FAQ refers only to “the trading platform”. The account types page describes execution as “Instant Execution (STP/NDD)” without saying what software carries that execution. Our earlier review reported that MT4 and MT5 are named on lirunex.com, a separate, offshore site, but that is second hand: we did not confirm MT4 or MT5 availability to the retail clients of the CySEC-regulated entity reviewed here.

The leverage split between Lirunex’s sites

Lirunex’s own account types page states that “a maximum leverage of up to 1:100 can be offered only to Professional Clients”, and ties negative balance protection specifically “to all retail clients”, the lower leverage category. The CySEC licence (338/17) confirmed on the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission register covers lirunex.eu, which the register shows carrying a retail loss disclosure. That licence’s scope does not extend to lirunex.com: per our earlier review, lirunex.com advertises leverage of 1:1000, with no retail loss disclosure at all, for entities registered in Mauritius and Hong Kong rather than Cyprus. The same instruments, forex, metals, energies, shares and indices, are therefore offered at very different risk settings depending on which of Lirunex’s sites and entities onboards the client, and only the Cyprus entity’s leverage cap and disclosure sit inside the licence the register confirms.

Every page we fetched on lirunex.eu also carries a banner reading “Lirunex is changing trading name, namely, LX Prime. Lirunex is changing its domain address to www.lxprime.eu.” Per our earlier review, the destination site, lxprime.eu, discloses an 85.71% retail loss rate for the same legal entity and the same licence that lirunex.eu discloses at 36.84%. A client trading the instruments listed above during this transition is reading two different loss figures for the same account types depending on which of the firm’s own domains they land on.

Where Lirunex will not open an account

Lirunex’s own site lists the jurisdictions it will not serve regardless of instrument: the United States, Canada, Australia, Iraq, Iran, Syria, North Korea, Malaysia, Japan, the occupied area of Cyprus, Russia, Belarus, Crimea, and the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics.

Education & Analysis

Lirunex’s Cyprus site, lirunex.eu, does not name a trading platform anywhere we checked: not on the homepage, not on the account-types page, not on the instruments, deposits, regulation, contact or FAQ pages. For a CFD broker, that is a gap in the material itself, not an inference we are drawing from its absence: we read the account-types page, the markets page, the fees page, the contact page and the regulation page, and none of them names software.

What Lirunex’s own pages describe instead of naming a platform

The account-types page describes execution as “Instant Execution (STP/NDD)” across all three tiers, LX-STANDARD, LX-PRIME and LX-PRO, alongside spread and commission figures, margin call and stop-out levels, and lot-size limits. That is order-handling detail, not platform detail. Nowhere in the pages we fetched does Lirunex show a platform name, a download link, a mobile app, a web-trader screenshot or a list of charting tools, timeframes or order types available to a client once they are actually placing trades.

MetaTrader appears only on the other Lirunex

MT4 and MT5 are named on lirunex.com, according to our earlier review’s cross-domain check, not on lirunex.eu, the CySEC-licensed site this review covers. Our earlier review describes lirunex.com as an offshore proposition naming Mauritius, UAE and Hong Kong entities, running 1:1000 leverage with no retail loss disclosure, against the 1:30 retail cap and 36.84% loss disclosure published on lirunex.eu for the same brand. We cannot say a reader of lirunex.eu gets MT4 or MT5, because the regulated site never says so; the platform reference sits on a different site, under different entities, at a different risk profile. Naming a platform on the sister site and staying silent on the regulated one is a distinction worth flagging rather than blurring into “MT4/MT5 available.”

The Hong Kong entity named in our earlier review’s account of lirunex.com lists an “MT4 Main Label License” from MetaQuotes as one of its credentials, printed in the same block as its financial licences. That is a software vendor agreement, not a financial-services authorisation, and register checks issued above for this review’s actual authority list carry a unchecked status for MetaQuotes as a claimed regulator, since MetaQuotes is a software vendor and no licence number was given to look up. We flag it here because it is the clearest documented link between “MT4” and the Lirunex brand in our evidence, and it sits on the entity least connected to the CySEC-licensed site.

What the redirect banner changes

Every page we fetched on lirunex.eu carries a banner: “Lirunex is changing trading name, namely, LX Prime. Lirunex is changing its domain address to www.lxprime.eu.” Per our earlier review, the destination domain, lxprime.eu, discloses an 85.71% retail loss rate for the same legal entity and licence that currently shows 36.84% on lirunex.eu. We have no platform information for lxprime.eu at all; nothing in our evidence describes what trading software will sit behind the new domain, or whether the platform silence carries over. A reader following that in-page redirect notice today lands somewhere our evidence has not fetched.

Charting and analysis tools: nothing to report

We looked for charting packages, indicator counts, automated trading support (Expert Advisors or equivalent), economic calendars or research feeds on the lirunex.eu pages in our evidence and found none described. The instruments page lists what can be traded, forex majors and minors, spot metals, energies, shares and indices as CFDs, each with per-symbol spread and swap tables, but the page that lists what is tradeable is not the same page as one that would describe how a client analyses it, and no such page turned up in what we fetched.

A contract term that outlasts the platform

Separately from platform naming, the account-types page carries an internal inconsistency in how it labels commission: the page calls the LX-PRIME charge “Commission per side per lot” (€8) while its own footnote ➁ describes the same figure as the total commission for LX-PRIME … per lot, and the homepage labels the LX-PRO $4 figure “Commission Per Round Turn Lot.” A per-side figure is double a round-turn figure for the same number, so a client reading the account-types page cannot tell from Lirunex’s own wording whether the commission is charged once per trade or twice, a factor-of-two difference in cost that has nothing to do with which platform carries the trade.

Special Offers

Lirunex’s own account types page, fees page, regulation page and contact page carry no promotions page, no bonus schedule and no deposit match offer among the material we fetched. The pages describe LX Standard, LX Prime and LX Pro as priced through spreads and a per side per lot commission, not through any promotional credit, and the fee page’s deposit and withdrawal tables list only processing charges, not incentives. We did not fetch a dedicated offers or promotions page for lirunex.eu, so this section reports what the fetched pages say rather than a confirmed absence of promotions elsewhere on the site.

What the account tiers actually charge instead of a bonus

The account types page gives three tiers. LX Standard asks a minimum deposit of 300 EUR or USD, spreads described as low as 2 pips, and a stated commission per side per lot of 0 EUR or USD. LX Prime asks a minimum of 1,000 EUR or USD, spreads as low as 0.6 pips, and a commission per side per lot of 8 EUR or USD. LX Pro asks a minimum of 10,000 EUR or USD, spreads as low as 0.0 pips, and a commission per side per lot of 4 EUR or USD. All three carry the same margin call at 80 percent, stop out at 50 percent, and the same stated minimum and maximum trade size of 0.01 to 100 lots. None of the three is framed on the page as an introductory rate, a limited time rate, or tied to a deposit threshold promotion; they read as the standing fee structure.

A wording gap in Lirunex’s own commission figures

The account types page labels the LX Prime charge “Commission per side per lot”, but footnote 2 on the same page calls the identical 8 EUR or USD figure the total commission for LX Prime … per lot. The homepage separately labels the LX Pro 4 EUR or USD figure “Commission Per Round Turn Lot”. A per side figure and a round turn figure for the same nominal number are not the same charge, a round turn commission is typically double a per side one, and Lirunex’s own pages do not resolve which reading applies to LX Prime. A trader sizing the real cost of a trade from these pages cannot tell from the site alone whether the quoted number is charged once per trade or twice.

What the deposit and withdrawal fees cost, with no offsetting credit

The fees page states Lirunex applies no fee itself on bank wire, Global Transfer or SEPA deposits, with a minimum of 300 EUR or USD and clearing within 24 hours, while the card and e-wallet route (Mastercard, Visacard, Epay.bg, Giropay, Mistercash, Sofort, Webmoney) carries what the page itself labels a “Lirunex service fee” of 2 percent, with a minimum deposit of 50 EUR or USD. On withdrawal, the same page lists a flat 35 EUR fee for Global Transfer, 6 EUR for SEPA, and 2 percent for Mastercard or Visacard, the last taking 7 to 10 banking days to process. Every published withdrawal method on this page carries a charge; none is waived as part of any tier or promotion described on the pages fetched, and funds are returned only through the method originally used to deposit.

Leverage and the Professional Client route

The regulation material states negative balance protection is offered “to all retail clients”, while a maximum leverage of up to 1:100 “can be offered only to Professional Clients”, against the retail cap the same material puts at 1:5 to 1:30. This is not framed anywhere in the fetched pages as a promotional upgrade; it is a reclassification that the client requests, and accepting it moves the client outside the category the firm’s own pages associate with negative balance protection. A reader looking for a leverage boost as a promotional feature will find this route instead, not an offer.

The rebrand banner is not itself an offer

Every page fetched from lirunex.eu carries a banner reading that Lirunex is changing its trading name to LX Prime and its domain to www.lxprime.eu. This is a notice of a name and domain change, not a promotional offer, and the pages fetched give no indication that the transition carries any bonus, matched deposit or fee waiver for existing or new clients. Readers should treat the banner as an operational notice rather than a campaign.

What we searched and did not find elsewhere

We searched 1,444 warning list entries mirrored from CySEC, the FCA and FSC Mauritius, and Lirunex appears on none of them, a result that speaks to sanction status rather than to promotions. Separately, CySEC’s own List of Non Approved Domains names lirunexltd.com as a website not authorised to provide investment services under any Cypriot licence; CySEC does not identify which firm that domain imitates, and it is not the Lirunex entity reviewed here. A reader searching for Lirunex offers who lands on a similarly named domain should treat any promotional claim found there with that warning in mind, since it sits outside the register entry that covers lirunex.eu.

Opening an Account

Opening an account with Lirunex means choosing one of three tiers published on its account-types page, funding it to a stated minimum, and clearing a document check before trading. The pages we fetched describe those steps; they say nothing about a demo-to-live conversion process or a step-by-step signup wizard, so we report only what is published.

Lirunex’s three account tiers

Lirunex’s account-types page lists three tiers, distinguished mainly by minimum deposit and spread. LX-STANDARD asks for a minimum deposit of 300 EUR/USD, LX-PRIME for 1,000 EUR/USD, and LX-PRO for 10,000 EUR/USD. All three are described on that page as Instant Execution (STP/NDD), with a margin call level of 80% and a stop-out level of 50%, and minimum and maximum trade sizes of 0.01 and 100 lots. The same page states that segregation of funds, negative balance protection and hedging apply to all three tiers.

Who Lirunex will not onboard

Lirunex’s own site states it does not provide services to residents of the United States of America, Canada, Australia, Iraq, Iran, Syria, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Malaysia, Japan, the Occupied area of Cyprus, Russia, Belarus, Crimea, or the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics (DNR and LNR). A reader in any of those places is excluded before the deposit-minimum question arises.

Document verification

Lirunex’s contact page routes onboarding paperwork through a dedicated address, legal@lirunex.eu, listed separately from its general, brokerage, account and support inboxes as the channel for “Verification of Documents”. The firm does not publish, on the pages we fetched, a list of which documents that verification requires.

The professional-client route and what it costs a Lirunex client

Lirunex’s Trading Account Types page states, in footnote ➀, that “a maximum leverage of up to 1:100 can be offered only to Professional Clients”, against the lower cap that applies to retail accounts. The same source states negative balance protection is offered “to all retail clients”. Read together, a client who accepts reclassification as a Professional Client to trade at the higher leverage moves outside the category the firm’s own pages tie to negative balance protection. Separately, the Cyprus Investor Compensation Fund clause on Lirunex’s regulation page caps recoverable compensation, if the firm cannot meet its obligations, at “twenty thousand Euros (EUR 20,000), or 90% of the covered investor’s claim, whichever is lower, regardless of how many trading accounts the client has”.

Which Lirunex entity is actually opening the account

The CySEC register of licensed Cypriot investment firms confirms licence 338/17 for Lirunex, but that confirmation covers only part of what the brand offers: lirunex.eu, the site these account terms are drawn from, operates under that licence, while a separate site, lirunex.com, is described in our earlier review as an offshore proposition offering 1:1000 leverage with no retail loss disclosure, a proposition the CySEC licence does not cover. Every page fetched from lirunex.eu also carries a banner stating “Lirunex is changing trading name, namely, LX Prime. Lirunex is changing its domain address to www.lxprime.eu.” Per our earlier review, the destination domain, lxprime.eu, discloses an 85.71% retail loss rate against the 36.84% currently shown on lirunex.eu for the same entity and licence, so a client who opens an account now and is later redirected would be onboarding under a different published risk disclosure than the one live today. The same site’s header links to labuan.lirunex.com, described there as authorised and regulated by Labuan FSA, under license number MB/20/0050; per our earlier review, that hostname did not resolve when checked by DNS from two countries, so that credential could not be independently verified. Separately, CySEC’s List of Non-Approved Domains names lirunexltd.com as a website not authorised to provide investment services under any Cypriot licence. CySEC does not identify which firm that domain imitates, and it is not the entity reviewed here, but a reader searching for Lirunex and landing on the wrong domain by mistake would have no way to tell from that listing alone.

Deposits & Withdrawals

Lirunex’s own fee page, fetched for the UAE-facing version of the site, sets out separate charges for funding an account and for pulling money back out, and the two sides are not symmetrical: deposits are mostly free, withdrawals never are.

Funding a Lirunex account

Lirunex’s fee page lists bank wire, SEPA and what it calls “Global Transfer” as carrying a 0% deposit charge from Lirunex itself, with a footnote that the bank or payment provider may still apply its own fee. The minimum for these methods is 300 EUR or USD, and the page states funds clear within 24 hours. Card and e-wallet deposits, covering Mastercard, Visacard, Epay.bg, Giropay, Mistercash, Sofort and Webmoney, carry a 2% charge that the fee page itself labels “Lirunex service fee”, meaning the broker takes the cut, not the card network. The minimum on these methods is lower, 50 EUR or USD, also stated to clear in 24 hours, and the page notes some of these methods are not available in every jurisdiction. On a 300 EUR card deposit, that 2% works out to 6 EUR taken before a single trade is placed. Which account a client opens sets its own floor on top of this: Lirunex’s account-types page gives a 300 EUR/USD minimum for LX-STANDARD, 1,000 for LX-PRIME and 10,000 for LX-PRO.

What Lirunex charges to withdraw

Every withdrawal route on the fee page carries a cost, and none of them is waived. A Global Transfer (wire) withdrawal costs 35 EUR, processed within 24 hours per the page. A SEPA withdrawal costs 6 EUR, also stated at 24 hours. Card withdrawals, Mastercard or Visacard, cost 2% of the amount withdrawn, and the same page gives their processing time as 7 to 10 banking days, far slower than the wire or SEPA options. The e-wallet methods used for funding, Epay.bg, Giropay, Mistercash, Sofort and Webmoney, are marked on the fee page as not applicable for withdrawals at all, so a client who deposited by one of those routes cannot use it to get money back out. Lirunex’s own material states that funds are returned only through the method originally used to deposit, which means a card deposit locks a client into the slower, 2% card withdrawal path rather than the cheaper wire or SEPA options, and switching to a different channel requires extra compliance checks before the broker will release funds by that route.

What a deposit or withdrawal actually costs

The asterisks are Lirunex’s own, carried over from its fee page: the 0% marker on wire and SEPA deposits notes that a client’s own bank or payment provider can still add a charge Lirunex does not control or disclose, and the 2% marker on card and e-wallet deposits identifies that cut as Lirunex’s own service fee rather than a pass-through cost.

If Lirunex cannot pay

Separately from day-to-day transfer costs, Lirunex’s legal documents page sets a ceiling on what a client recovers if the firm itself fails. The Investor Compensation Fund clause states that the maximum payable compensation to each covered Client of the Company shall be equal to twenty thousand Euros (EUR 20,000), or 90% of the covered investor’s claim, whichever is lower, regardless of how many trading accounts the client has. That figure caps recoverable funds at EUR 20,000 even for a client who has spread deposits across several account types, and the 90%-of-claim alternative only reduces the payout further for smaller balances; it is the entity-level backstop behind every deposit made under the CySEC licence, not a per-account guarantee.

A domain that is not this broker

A warning-list search we ran covering 1,444 entries mirrored from CySEC, the FCA and the Mauritius FSC turned up nothing for Lirunex itself. It did surface lirunexltd.com, which CySEC lists on its List of Non-Approved Domains as a site not authorised to provide investment services under any Cypriot licence. CySEC’s listing does not name which firm the domain imitates, and lirunexltd.com is not the site reviewed here, lirunex.eu; a client sending funds to the wrong domain on the strength of a similar name would not be dealing with the CySEC-licensed entity described above.

Customer Support

Lirunex publishes five separate email addresses rather than one general inbox: info@lirunex.eu for general inquiries, brokerage@lirunex.eu for reception and transmission of orders, admin@lirunex.eu for account inquiries, support@lirunex.eu for support inquiries, and legal@lirunex.eu for verification of documents. The firm’s contact page also gives a phone line, +357 2469 4888, staffed Monday to Friday from 8a.m. to 5p.m., plus a fax number, +357 2469 4889, and a postal address at Gorgonon 14, Patsalos Plaza, 3rd Floor, Flat/Office 305, 6047, Larnaca, Cyprus.

What Lirunex’s contact page does not cover

The contact page splits inquiries by department but names no live chat option, no support ticket portal, and no stated response time target for any of the five inboxes. Phone support runs only during the Monday to Friday office hours given above; the page says nothing about weekend or after-hours cover, so what happens to a query raised outside those hours is not stated on the page we fetched.

Terms that shape a complaint against Lirunex

The material we hold does not include the Terms and Conditions, Client Agreement, or Risk Disclosure PDFs linked from Lirunex’s Legal Documents page: all three failed text extraction across the four countries crawled, so we cannot quote the contractual complaints or dispute process from those documents here. One binding figure we can quote comes from the regulation page instead, on Investor Compensation Fund cover: it states the “maximum payable compensation to each covered Client of the Company shall be equal to twenty thousand Euros (EUR 20,000), or 90% of the covered investor’s claim, whichever is lower, regardless of how many trading accounts the client has.” A client escalating a dispute that results in the firm being unable to meet its obligations recovers at most that amount, capped at EUR 20,000 or 90% of the claim, no matter how many accounts they hold with Lirunex.

A support channel that is not Lirunex

Anyone searching for Lirunex’s support contacts should be aware that the domain lirunexltd.com is listed by CySEC on its List of Non Approved Domains, meaning it is not authorised to provide investment services under any Cypriot licence. CySEC’s listing does not name which firm the domain imitates, so nothing here identifies it as posing as Lirunex specifically, but the similarity of the name is close enough that a reader could reach it by mistake while looking for the broker reviewed here. Separately, we searched 1444 warning list entries mirrored from CySEC, the FCA, and the FSC Mauritius, and Lirunex itself appears on none of them.

The trading name change and what it means for support continuity

Every page we fetched from lirunex.eu carries a banner stating: “Lirunex is changing trading name, namely, LX Prime. Lirunex is changing its domain address to www.lxprime.eu.” The contact details listed above, the emails, phone line, and address, are current for lirunex.eu as fetched; the page does not say on this banner whether the same emails and phone line carry over once the domain moves to lxprime.eu, so a client relying on these contacts during the transition has no stated confirmation of continuity from the page itself.

Prohibited Countries

Lirunex’s own site names the countries it will not onboard. The restriction sits on the root page of lirunex.eu, the domain carrying the firm’s CySEC licence 338/17, and it reads as a flat list rather than a tiered set of exceptions.

Who Lirunex says it will not serve

The root page states that Lirunex does not provide services to residents of the United States of America, Canada, Australia, Iraq, Iran, Syria, the Democratic Republic of Korea, Malaysia, Japan, the Occupied area of Cyprus, Russia, Belarus, Crimea, and the DNR and LNR (Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics).

The list mixes three different kinds of exclusion without saying so. The US, Canada, Australia and Japan are large, regulated retail markets where a CySEC passport does not extend and a firm without a local licence would be operating outside its authorisation. Iraq, Iran, Syria, North Korea, Russia, Belarus, Crimea, and the DNR and LNR line up with sanctions regimes. Malaysia and the Occupied area of Cyprus are their own category and the page gives no reason for either. Lirunex does not explain this distinction on the page itself, and nothing in the material we fetched fills that gap, so the categorisation above is ours, not the firm’s.

What the page does not cover

The restriction is published on lirunex.eu, the site carrying the CySEC licence. The register check on that licence notes that lirunex.com, an offshore proposition named in our earlier review, runs at 1:1000 leverage with no retail loss disclosure, a leverage figure the CySEC authorisation does not cover. We did not fetch a residency-restriction list from lirunex.com, so nothing here says whether that offshore proposition applies the same exclusions, a shorter list, or none at all. A reader moving between the two domains should not assume the lirunex.eu list carries over.

Pages we fetched from lirunex.eu also carry a redirect banner stating the brand is changing its trading name to LX Prime and moving to the domain lxprime.eu. We hold no restricted-countries page from lxprime.eu, so we cannot say whether the list above will carry forward unchanged once that migration completes.

Where Lirunex is confirmed to operate instead

A different Lirunex entity is licensed in the UAE: LIRUNEX FINANCIAL SERVICES L.L.C appears under CP-0001614 on the UAE Capital Market Authority (SCA) register of licensed companies, listed as Active since 2026. That listing gives lirunex.com as its website, not lirunex.eu, the domain where the restricted-countries list above was published. A separate registration, number 20200000423 and described in our earlier review as Category 5, “Financial Consultation and Introduction of Financial Services only,” could not be matched to any company on the Capital Market Authority register during our search of 328 licensed companies; none of the 328 lists lirunex.eu as its website either. Our earlier review states that registration’s own wording: the entity holding it “does not provide investment advice, execute transactions on behalf of clients, or manage client funds or assets.”

The firm’s UK entity, LIRUNEX LTD, held FCA reference number 792308. The FCA register shows that permission’s status as “No longer authorised,” effective 1 February 2023, which confirms what our earlier review reports rather than contradicting it.

A lookalike domain, not Lirunex

Our search of 1,444 warning-list entries mirrored from CySEC, the FCA and the FSC Mauritius returned no match against Lirunex itself. It did surface a separate domain, lirunexltd.com, which CySEC lists on its List of Non-Approved Domains as not authorised to provide investment services under any Cypriot licence. CySEC’s listing does not name which firm, if any, that domain imitates. It is not Lirunex, and it is not covered by licence 338/17; a reader searching for Lirunex who lands on it should know the domain carries no Cypriot authorisation at all.

Conclusion

Lirunex lands at an overall score of 4, and the component numbers explain why: regulation 5.2, fees 4.1, support 4.3, reviews 4.6, and platform dragging the average down at 2. The gap between that platform score and everything else is the story of this review. The firm has a real Cyprus licence and a paper trail that mostly checks out, but the site reviewed here will not tell a client what software they are actually trading on, and the corporate structure behind the brand is harder to pin down than the licence number alone suggests.

What the registers say about Lirunex

The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission register confirms licence 338/17 for the Cypriot entity behind lirunex.eu, with an active-format entry showing the licence number, date and registration details. That is a financial-services authorisation, not just a company listing, and it is the strongest thing in this file. The Cyprus Registrar of Companies separately confirms LIRUNEX LIMITED as company HE353862, active since 24 March 2016. But the licence has a scope, and lirunex.com, a different site under the same brand, is reported by an earlier review as offering 1:1000 leverage with no retail loss disclosure, which CySEC’s 338/17 entry does not cover. The FCA register confirms FRN 792308 is held by LIRUNEX LTD but shows the status as “No longer authorised”, effective 1 February 2023, not an active permission. On the UAE side, the SCA register confirms LIRUNEX FINANCIAL SERVICES L.L.C as licensed company CP-0001614, but gives lirunex.com, not lirunex.eu, as that entity’s website, and CP-0001614 is not the licence number the firm quotes elsewhere. None of the 328 licensed companies on that register lists lirunex.eu as its website. The Labuan FSA’s directory confirms Lirunex Limited as a licensed money broker, though not the licence number the site quotes, and the MetaQuotes “MT4 Main Label License” cited for the Hong Kong entity is a software vendor agreement, not a regulator record, so there is no register to check it against. Across six registers checked directly, the picture is one genuine, currently active Cyprus licence attached to lirunex.eu, and a scatter of other credentials that either do not cover this site, do not match the site’s own numbers, or could not be verified.

On the warning-list side, we searched 1,444 entries mirrored from CySEC, the FCA and the FSC Mauritius, and Lirunex does not appear on any of them. That is a clean result worth stating plainly. It sits alongside a separate finding a reader should know before searching for this broker online: CySEC’s List of Non-Approved Domains names lirunexltd.com as a site not authorised to provide investment services under any Cypriot licence. CySEC does not say which firm that domain imitates, and lirunexltd.com is not Lirunex under review here, but the resemblance is close enough that a search for “Lirunex” could turn it up.

What Lirunex charges

The account-types page sets out three tiers: LX-STANDARD from €/$300 with spreads “as low as 2 pips” and no per-lot commission, LX-PRIME from €/$1,000 with spreads from 0.6 pips and a stated commission of €/$8, and LX-PRO from €/$10,000 with spreads from 0.0 pips and a stated €/$4 commission. That page’s own footnote on the LX-PRIME figure calls it “the total commission… per lot,” yet elsewhere on that same page these charges are labelled “commission per side per lot,” and the homepage instead labels the LX-PRO figure “Commission Per Round Turn Lot.” Since a round-turn amount and a per-side amount for the same nominal figure are not equal, one is double the other, and nothing on the site clarifies which measure actually applies. Turning to deposits, Lirunex’s fee page shows bank wire and SEPA transfers over a 300 EUR/USD minimum carry no fee from Lirunex itself, although the bank or payment provider involved may still apply its own charge; for card and e-wallet deposits over a 50 EUR/USD minimum, a 2% charge applies, described on the page as a “Lirunex service fee.” No withdrawal route is free: wire transfers cost 35 EUR, SEPA withdrawals cost 6 EUR, and card withdrawals carry a 2% charge, with those taking 7 to 10 banking days to process. Withdrawn funds go back only by the same method used for the original deposit. The regulated entity’s Investor Compensation Fund terms cap recoverable compensation at “twenty thousand Euros (EUR 20,000), or 90% of the covered investor’s claim, whichever is lower, regardless of how many trading accounts the client has.”

Why Lirunex scores so low on platform

We read lirunex.eu’s homepage, account-types, instruments, deposits, regulation, contact and FAQ pages, and none of them names a trading platform. The FAQ refers only to “the trading platform,” without saying what it is. MetaTrader is named only on lirunex.com, the separate offshore site an earlier review associated with the 1:1000-leverage, undisclosed-risk proposition, not on the regulated site this review covers. A CFD broker that will not tell a prospective client what software they will be trading on, on the site carrying its actual regulated licence, is the direct cause of the 2 score here.

Contact and support

Lirunex’s contact page lists five separate email addresses split by function (general, brokerage, account, support, document verification), a Cyprus phone line staffed Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm, a fax number, and a physical office address in Larnaca. That is a fuller support setup on paper than many brokers publish, which is reflected in the 4.3 support score, though we did not test response times or call the number ourselves.

On cost, the LX-Standard account’s 2-pip EUR/USD spread with no commission works out at about $20.00 per round-turn lot, compared with a median of $6.00 across the 88 CFD brokers we have scored on the same basis, more than three times the middle of the market.

Lirunex holds a confirmed, currently active CySEC licence for the entity behind lirunex.eu, but the site names no trading platform anywhere and pairs a genuine license with commission wording that leaves the actual per-trade cost unclear. That combination puts Lirunex’s overall score at 4.0 out of 10, down from our previous score of 5.0.

FAQ
