What Star Net does

Star Net FX is a forex and CFD brokerage founded in 2018, operating through Star Net Limited with registrations in Mauritius (FSC authorization AU22200246), the United Arab Emirates (registration 2018), and St. Vincent & the Grenadines (Business Company 25773 BC 2020). The company serves retail traders and partner network participants with access to over 60 currency pairs, 150 stock CFDs across 16 global exchanges, 10 indices, commodities including gold and crude oil, and 30 cryptocurrencies. Star Net FX concentrates distribution in emerging markets — India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, and Singapore — with India-specific localization including a fixed INR exchange rate of 80 INR per USD, UPI/Net Banking/PhonePe integration, and Hindi-language educational webinars.

The company's core technology stack is built on MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 platforms, supported by an ECN/STP execution model designed for transparent pricing without requotes. The platform supports copy trading with sub-5ms execution, over 50 technical indicators, algorithmic trading via Expert Advisors, and integrations with third-party services including Autochartist for pattern recognition and TradingView for charting. Star Net FX offers Islamic (swap-free) accounts for Sharia-compliant trading and provides negative balance protection as a risk management feature. A tiered account structure spans Micro ($200 minimum, 1:400 leverage), Mini ($1,000, 1:200), and Standard ($5,000, 1:100) tiers.

Star Net FX generates revenue primarily through spread revenue across all tradable instruments, supplemented by Introducing Broker commissions of $3–12 per lot, Master IB network commissions (10% of sub-IB activity), and Master Trader copy trading commissions of 0–50% of copier profits. A $300 account fee applies for opening, maintenance, and closure. Go-to-market combines product-led growth via self-serve online account opening, channel partnerships through IB networks and White Label solutions, and community-led growth via copy trading marketplaces and promotional contests. The company does not disclose revenue, funding, or financial performance metrics in the available source data.
