Vantage FX claims to be regulated by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and holds clients' funds in segregated accounts with top-tier banks. The broker also provides various educational resources and trading tools to assist traders in making informed trading decisions.

In terms of customer support, Vantage FX offers 24/5 customer support through various channels, including phone, email, and live chat.

Being a member of the Vantage Group of companies has its advantages, and VT Markets offers access to both the MetaTrader platform family and its own VT Pro trading software.

VT Markets struggles to compete with the finest forex brokers due to its scant research material, scant educational materials, and its constrained selection of available markets, despite its support for a variety of third-party features and social copy trading.

Offering of investments

The 168 symbols in VT Markets' CFD offering cover a wide range of asset classes, including equities, commodities, metals, indices, and FX pairs. The many investment products that are offered to VT Markets clients are listed in the table below.

Commissions and fees

Whether you select the Raw ECN or the Standard STP account will affect the price of trading at VT Markets. Both accounts have a $200 minimum deposit requirement, and the Standard STP account is commission-free but has wider spreads than the Raw ECN account.

Average spreads: According to VT Markets, the EUR/USD typical spread for their Standard STP account is 1.2 pip, while the RAW ECN effective spread is 0.83 pip (based on 0.6 round turn commission and 0.23 average spread for September 2021). While the pricing for the Regular STP account is less appealing, it is fairly standard for the industry for the VT Markets Raw ECN account.

Mobile trading apps

VT Markets simply cannot compete with what the leading MetaTrader brokers have to offer in this category, despite full support for the MetaTrader suite and a proprietary mobile app. The VT Pro mobile app from VT Markets has shown considerable promise, but further development is required for it to reach its full potential.

VT Markets has a proprietary mobile app called VT Pro in addition to being primarily a MetaTrader broker. For Android and Apple iOS devices, directly from the Google Play and Apple App stores, are VT Pro, MetaTrader 4 (MT4), and MetaTrader 5 (MT5).

Usability: The VT Pro mobile app from VT Markets is simple to use and features a well-designed display with nicely integrated research content. It offers resources like its newsletter articles that cover Pivot Point analysis across a collection of six well-known trading symbols, as well as practical tools like watchlist items.

Additionally, there is a separate news tab with articles on technical analysis and a complete economic calendar with event subscription capabilities (as well as a useful function that populates calendar events when you view a particular symbol).

The only basic capabilities available for charting on VT Pro are the option to rotate the display into landscape mode and the addition of tick chart functionality. Only seven indicators are accessible, ten time frames can be chosen, and there are no drawing tools or additional capabilities.

Final thoughts

If VT Markets wants to compete with the top forex brokers, it must drastically improve its research, financial markets education (which is now completely lacking), mobile app, and research capabilities.
