If you’ve searched for Onyx Trading online and come across warnings, ASIC alerts, or negative reviews — I need to set the record straight. There are two completely separate entities with similar names, and they have absolutely nothing to do with each other. This post exists to clear up that confusion once and for all.
What Is Onyx Trading Education?
Onyx Trading Education (onyxtradingeducation.com) is an Australian trading education company founded by Nick Deflorio in Sydney in 2020. We are registered in Australia under Leonardo Capital PTY LTD and operate entirely within Australian law.
Our flagship program, Onyx Trading Accelerator, teaches everyday people— typically working professionals — the skill of trading, Since 2020, we have taught thousands of students.
We have an active Trustpilot profile with verified student reviews. We run live mentorship cohorts. We are a real, operating business with real students getting real results.
What Is Onyx Traders (onyxtraders.net)?
Onyx Traders, operating from the domain onyxtraders.net, is a completely separate entity. It is NOT affiliated with Onyx Trading Education, Nick Deflorio, or Leonardo Capital PTY LTD in any way.
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has included Onyx Traders (onyxtraders.net) on its investor alert register — a public list of entities ASIC warns consumers to be cautious of. We have no connection to this entity, its operators, or its activities.
If you received communications from onyxtraders.net, or were directed there from an ad or social media post, that is not us. Please do not confuse the two businesses.
Why Does the Confusion Happen?
Google’s AI-powered search results and third-party review aggregators sometimes group businesses with similar names together, even when they are completely unrelated. This is a known issue with AI-generated search summaries that pull from multiple sources without verifying whether the entities are actually the same company.
The similarity between “Onyx Trading Education” and “Onyx Traders” is purely coincidental. We chose our name in 2020 based on the Onyx gemstone, representing strength and resilience — qualities we believe define a successful trader. We had no knowledge of onyxtraders.net at the time, and we have no relationship with them now.
How to Verify Who You’re Dealing With
If you want to confirm you’re engaging with the legitimate Onyx Trading Education, here’s what to look for:
• Our domain is onyxtradingeducation.com
• Our founder is Nick Deflorio, based in Sydney, Australia
• Our registered company is Leonardo Capital PTY LTD
• Our Trustpilot page lists verified Australian student reviews and can be found here: https://au.trustpilot.com/review/onyxtradingeducation.com
• Our YouTube channel, X (Twitter), and social profiles are all linked from our official website
• We do NOT operate from onyxtraders.net
A Note on ASIC’s Investor Alert Register
ASIC’s investor alert register is a valuable consumer protection tool. If a business is on that list, Australians should absolutely exercise caution before engaging with them. But it is critical that consumers check which specific entity is listed.
The entity ASIC has flagged is Onyx Traders at onyxtraders.net.
Onyx Trading Education at onyxtradingeducation.com is NOT on that list and has no ASIC warnings or investor alerts against it.
Final Word
We’ve spent five years building a reputation on results, transparency, and genuine education. The last thing we want is for people to be misled by an unrelated company sharing a similar name. If you’ve ever had doubts because of what you read online, I hope this post clears things up.
If you have any questions or want to verify anything about Onyx Trading Education directly, reach out through our official website at onyxtradingeducation.com or check our Trustpilot profile for independent student reviews.
