🏁 VantageFx Review Conclusions

Vantage FX is an ECN/STP Forex broker based in Australia. Founded in 2006, it has offices in Sydney and London and is regulated by the Australian ASIC. Client funds are kept separate from company funds through the Australian National Bank. The broker also has a $20 million insurance policy with Lloyd’s of London. That is probably important as ASIC (Australia) does not offer compensation if a member broker becomes insolvent.

Vantage FX offers two main account types. The Standard Account provides STP execution with moderate spreads. It includes a rebate plan that offers AUD 2 in cash rebates per lot traded (up to 10% of the initial deposit) and a free VPS under certain conditions. The minimum deposit for a Standard Account is $100. The RAW ECN account offers tighter spreads and true ECN execution, but it does not include rebates or a free VPS. The minimum deposit for a RAW ECN account is $500. Funding methods include bank wire, cards, Neteller, BPay, and Skrill, and six account currencies are supported.

Trading platforms include MT4, MT5, and WebTrader. Social trading is available through MyFxBook, and mobile trading is offered for iOS and Android, with versions for both smartphones and tablets. Scalping and automated trading are fully allowed. Available instruments include over 40 Forex pairs, Gold, Silver, Platinum, Crude Oil, and 8 stock indices. Vantage FX also offers MAM/PAMM accounts with advanced features, including support for scalping and expert advisors (EAs).

Overall, Vantage FX is a fair choice for Forex traders and also suitable for those who want their funds managed by professionals through MAM/PAMM accounts.
