Is Eclipse Macro a Scam?

When we at FXCanary sit down to judge whether a broker is safe or a scam, we do not rely on a single data point. Our methodology layers several independent checks: we verify regulatory licences against official public registers, we comb through aggregated industry databases for historical complaints and disciplinary actions, we analyse the substance and tone of real user reviews, and we look for structural red flags such as clone websites or a complete absence of oversight. Each of these inputs feeds into a weighted Scam Risk Score, which we publish so that traders can see at a glance how much danger they are exposing themselves to.

For Eclipse Macro, that score is 75 out of 100, which we classify as 'Severe'. That is not a number we arrived at lightly. It reflects a broker that has no verified licence on file, a withdrawal-related complaint already on the record, and a corporate profile that shows zero employees. In our experience, a score in this range is a strong warning that retail traders should treat the broker with extreme caution, if not avoid it altogether. The rest of this investigation explains exactly what we found and why we reached that conclusion.

The single most important finding in our review of Eclipse Macro is that it holds no verified regulatory licence anywhere in the world. Our cross-checks against the public registers of major financial watchdogs, including those in the United States, the United Kingdom, Cyprus, and Australia, returned nothing. The company's registered address is 125 Maiden Ln, New York, NY 10038, United States, which would normally put it under the jurisdiction of US regulators such as the SEC or CFTC, but we found no evidence that Eclipse Macro is registered with either body.

This matters because regulation is the backbone of client protection. A licensed broker is required to segregate client funds from its own operating capital, to submit to regular audits, and to adhere to conduct rules that prohibit market manipulation and misrepresentation. In many jurisdictions, clients also benefit from compensation schemes that reimburse them if the broker goes bust.

None of that applies to Eclipse Macro. There is no segregation requirement, no compensation fund, and no independent body to complain to if things go wrong. In our assessment, trading with an unregulated broker is not merely risky; it is a gamble where the house writes the rules.

Let us be specific about what the absence of regulation means for a retail trader's money. In a regulated environment, client funds are typically held in segregated accounts at a bank, separate from the broker's own accounts. If the broker collapses, those funds are ring-fenced and can be returned to clients. In the European Union, for example, clients are also covered by investor compensation schemes that guarantee up to €20,000 per person, and negative balance protection ensures that a trader cannot lose more than their deposit. In the United States, the SIPC provides similar protections for securities accounts, and the CFTC requires forex brokers to maintain strict capital requirements.

Eclipse Macro offers none of these safeguards. There is no evidence of segregated accounts, no compensation scheme, and no negative balance protection. If the broker were to become insolvent or simply disappear, clients would have no legal claim to their funds beyond whatever the company chooses to return. We have seen this pattern before in our investigations of unregulated brokers: they often operate for a while, collect deposits, and then shut down, leaving clients with nothing. The lack of any regulatory oversight makes Eclipse Macro a prime candidate for that kind of outcome.

Our review of the user record found one withdrawal-related complaint already on file. While the sample size is small, we treat any withdrawal complaint as a serious red flag, because it goes to the heart of whether a broker actually pays out. We have seen many cases where a broker is happy to take deposits but then delays, blocks, or simply refuses to process withdrawals. The complaint in question is not detailed in the public record, but its very existence suggests that at least one client has had trouble getting their money out.

We cross-referenced this complaint with the broker's overall review profile. The positive reviews we found praise the customer service and low fees, but none of them mention a successful withdrawal. That asymmetry is telling. In our experience, brokers that are genuinely reliable tend to have a mix of reviews that include specific, verifiable withdrawal experiences. The absence of any such testimony for Eclipse Macro, combined with the one complaint, reinforces our concern that the broker may not be honouring withdrawal requests in a timely or consistent manner.

It would be unfair to ignore the positive feedback that Eclipse Macro has received. Two reviewers gave the broker five stars, with one noting that a staff member named Janson helped them access a second account they had forgotten about, and another describing the broker as 'transparent' with 'low fees and excellent customer service'. These comments suggest that, at least for some clients, the broker has delivered a decent experience on the customer service front.

We also note that the broker's own description mentions a range of trading assets, including cryptocurrencies, forex pairs, gold, and indices, as well as demo accounts and 24/7 support. These are not inherently bad features. A demo account is a useful tool for testing a platform, and 24/7 support is a plus for traders in different time zones.

However, we must stress that these green flags are superficial. They do not compensate for the absence of regulation, and they do not address the withdrawal complaint. In our assessment, a broker can be friendly and still be unsafe.

Beyond the lack of regulation, we identified several structural red flags that deepen our concern. First, the company reports zero employees. That is unusual for a broker that claims to offer 24/7 support and a full range of trading services.

It raises the question of who is actually running the platform and handling client funds. Second, the broker does not offer the industry-standard MT4 or MT5 platforms, which are widely used by retail traders and are a hallmark of established, credible brokers. Instead, clients are likely directed to a proprietary platform, which gives the broker more control over the trading environment and makes it harder for traders to verify execution quality.

Third, we found no evidence of any clone or impersonator sites, which is a small positive, but it also means that the broker itself is the only entity operating under this name. That is not necessarily a bad thing, but it does mean there is no legitimate parent company or well-known brand behind it. Finally, the broker was founded only in January 2024, making it a very young operation. While age alone is not a disqualifier, a new broker with no regulatory oversight and a withdrawal complaint is a dangerous combination.

If, despite our warnings, you are still considering trading with Eclipse Macro, we strongly urge you to take every possible precaution. First, do not deposit more than you can afford to lose. Treat the entire balance as a high-risk gamble, not an investment.

Second, test the withdrawal process with a small amount as soon as you have any profit or even before you start trading. If the broker delays or refuses, that is your answer. Third, keep detailed records of all communications, deposit confirmations, and trade statements.

These may be useful if you need to escalate a dispute, although without a regulator to complain to, your options are limited.

We also recommend that you avoid linking your bank account or credit card directly to the platform. Use a prepaid card or a separate account with a limited balance to minimise the damage if the broker misuses your payment details. And be wary of any pressure to deposit more money or to 'verify' your account with additional documents.

These are common tactics used by unregulated brokers to delay withdrawals. In our view, the safest course of action is to walk away entirely and choose a broker that is properly licensed and regulated. The peace of mind is worth far more than any potential savings on fees.

In summary, FXCanary's investigation of Eclipse Macro has found a broker that is unregulated, has a withdrawal complaint on record, reports zero employees, and lacks the industry-standard trading platforms. The positive reviews are outweighed by these structural deficiencies. We therefore maintain our Scam Risk Score of 75 out of 100, which we classify as 'Severe'. This is not a broker we can recommend to any trader, and we advise extreme caution if you choose to engage with it.

We will continue to monitor Eclipse Macro and update our review if new information emerges. In the meantime, we encourage traders to prioritise safety over flashy promises. The forex market is already risky enough; adding an unregulated broker to the mix is a recipe for financial loss. If you have had a negative experience with Eclipse Macro, we urge you to share it on public review platforms so that other traders can benefit from your story. Our goal at FXCanary is to arm retail traders with the information they need to make informed decisions, and we hope this investigation has done exactly that.
