The Raw ECN account at Vantage is brilliant. $6 round-turn on EUR/USD with genuinely tight spreads. ASIC regulated and withdrawals always arrive on time. Very happy.

Good broker with great copy trading. I follow 3 signal providers on Vantage Copy and they all have transparent stats. The interface is clean and easy to navigate.

Good pricing but the standard account is expensive at 1.4 pips. You really need to use the Raw ECN account to get value. Customer support is OK but not the fastest.

5/5

Switched from a bigger broker and found Vantage's execution speed to be excellent. The ProTrader platform is smooth and the TradingView integration is a nice addition.

Solid ASIC broker at competitive prices. The copy trading ecosystem is growing quickly. I'd like to see more research tools but otherwise very impressed.

Customer support was slow when I had a deposit issue. The trading conditions themselves are fine but service responsiveness needs improvement.

Best combination of competitive pricing, regulation, and copy trading I've found. The Vantage Copy trader statistics are detailed and the social features are improving each month.

Good broker but limited product range outside of forex and indices. If you want stocks or a broader asset mix, look elsewhere. For pure forex trading it's excellent.
