BrokersNest score

We don't link to Vantage Markets from your region, because it doesn't serve retail clients here through a locally regulated company. You can still read our full review. Vantage Markets serves UK and Australian clients through local entities. EU clients are taken on by its offshore Cayman Islands (CIMA) entity; it has no EU licence.

We don't link to brokers from the US or Canada, because retail CFD trading isn't offered to residents there. You can still read our full review.

We don't link to brokers from your country. You can still read our full review.

Account links appear once we can confirm your region. You can still read our full review. Vantage Markets serves UK and Australian clients through local entities. EU clients are taken on by its offshore Cayman Islands (CIMA) entity; it has no EU licence.

You open directly with the broker — we never take your documents or your money.

The verdict

Commission-based pricing on MT4, MT5 or its own ProTrader terminal, with crypto and share coverage on one account.

Vantage prices within a dollar of the cheapest all-in cost we track, and pairs that with ProTrader, an in-house platform that holds its own. The fifty-dollar minimum and slower withdrawals are the trade-off. UK and Australian clients get a local licence. EU clients are served from an offshore entity.

What we'd open it for
Cheapest in the UK and Australia

Raw pricing $1 over the cheapest all-in figure we track (Exness, Global only).

ProTrader is genuinely good

An in-house web platform that does not feel like a compromise.

What would send us elsewhere
Withdrawals run slower

One to two business days per its own published policy, against one for the leaders.

Offshore for EU clients

EU residents are onboarded to the CIMA entity. There's no EU licence.

What it costs

What each account costs you

All-in cost: $7.00 per standard lot — spread plus commission, on the cheapest account.

At 5 lots a month, that's about $420 a year in trading costs.
