VantageFx Review Conclusions:

Vantage Fx is an ECN/STP Forex broker based in Australia. Vantage FX was found in 2006 and maintains offices in Sydney and London. It is regulated by the Australian ASIC. The broker segregates client funds from corporate funds via the Australian National Bank. Also, there is a $20 million insurance plan with Lloyd's of London. Overall as concerns safety of money, we may conclude that Vantage Fx is a safe place to trade.

Vantage Fx provides two main account types. The simple account type (Standard Account) offers STP execution and not very tight spreads. There is a rebate plan which is applied on Standard Accounts and provides $2 AUD cash rebates (up to 10% of the initial deposit). The standard account offers also a free VPS under a certain policy. You may open a Standard Account with $100. The other account type, RAW ECN, offers tight spreads and real ECN execution. There are no rebates in the RAW ECN account and no free VPS. You may start a RAW/ECN account with $500. The available fund methods include Wire, Cards, Neteller, BPay and Skrill, and Vantage Fx supports also 6 different account currencies.

The platforms offered by Vantage Fx include mainly MT4, MT5, and WebTrader. Social trading is available via the MyFxBook and mobile trading is available for iOs and Android (different versions for Smartphones and Tablets). Scalping and automated trading are fully allowed. The Financial instruments available by VantageFx include 40+ Forex pairs, Gold, Silver, Platinum, Crude Oil, and 8 Stock Indices. Vantage Fx provides also MAM/PAMM accounts with some advanced features including the allowance for scalping and EAs.

Overall, VantageFx is a good choice for day-traders, and scalpers offering relatively tight spreads and fast execution. It is also a fair choice for all those wanting their funds traded by professionals via managed MAM/ PAMM accounts.
