IUX (IUX Markets) — where it wins, where it loses
IUX (IUX Markets) does not currently take a column outright against this field. It loses on entry cost. Priced across ten round-turn EUR/USD lots it comes 27 of 39 in this field.
Column by column
The split
Two lists, no averaging. A broker that takes a column outright appears on the left of it; one that gets beaten on a column appears on the right. Nothing is scored into a single number, because a single number hides which side you actually care about.
Wins on
No column where IUX (IUX Markets) takes the field outright.
Loses on
- entry cost
Cost per 10 lots is the EUR/USD spread cost of ten round-turn standard lots at the figure above, commission excluded. Where a broker publishes a "from" spread rather than an average, the comparison inherits that limitation — see the unconfirmed list further down.

Facts the comparison runs on
On the record
- The contracting entity in IUX's General Business Terms is IUX Markets Limited, incorporated in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines under number 26183 BC 2021.
- IUX's own regulation page states that IUX Markets AU Pty Ltd 'does not operate, control, or provide any products or services through this website', so the ASIC entity is not the one onboarding clients on iux.com.
- The ASIC register extract published by IUX shows AFSL 529610 for IUX MARKETS AU PTY LTD, commenced 22/07/2021 — the figure '5296120' seen in some directories is not the register number.
- IUX states it does not solicit or provide services to persons in Australia, Canada, the UK, the USA or Malaysia.
- The company's General Business Terms set a $200 minimum deposit to activate a Raw account; third-party directories report entry points from $10 to $50 on other account types.
- IUX has been a member of The Financial Commission (external dispute resolution) since November 2024, via IUX Markets (MU) Ltd.
- IUX's published fee schedule lists a typical EUR/USD spread of 0.9 pips on the Standard account and 0.7 pips on the Pro account, with a $7 per-lot commission on the Raw account (iux.com/en/trade/fees, 'typical spreads under normal market conditions').
- IUX's Client Agreement states the Company 'shall provide Negative Balance Protection to ensure that it is not possible for Client Account balance to fall below zero', with balances below zero automatically reset to zero (policy.iux.com/en/client-agreement/).
- Cost positioning, from the records in this file: IUX's typical 0.9-pip Standard spread beats tier-1 desks recorded here at 1.0 pips (OANDA, FOREX.com) on the same pair, and its 0.7-pip Pro spread matches Pepperstone and IG Group on their standard accounts — while its $200 minimum is above the $0 entry those desks offer.
- Financial Commission membership gives IUX clients access to its external dispute resolution process and a compensation fund capped at €20,000 per client (financialcommission.org/what-we-offer/compensation-fund/).
- Execution runs on MetaTrader 5, which supports Expert Advisors, hedging and netting account modes and depth of market; IUX additionally operates its own web platform and mobile app against the same pricing.
