Vantage Markets

Vantage Markets offers a transparent and flexible fee structure across its different account types, tailored to various trading needs. Here's a clear overview of how fees are applied:

1. Spreads

Spreads represent the difference between the bid and ask price of a trading instrument and are a core part of trading costs. Vantage offers tight, competitive spreads depending on the account type:

• Standard STP Account: Spreads start from 1.0 pip, with no commission charged. Ideal for beginners or traders seeking simplicity.

• RAW ECN Account: Spreads start from 0.0 pips, but a commission is applied (see below). Best suited for active traders.

• PRO ECN Account: Institutional-level spreads from 0.0 pips, with the lowest commission structure available.

For popular forex pairs like EURUSD or AUDUSD, spreads can be as low as 0.0 to 0.3 pips during high-liquidity periods on ECN accounts.

2. Commissions

Commissions apply to ECN accounts only and vary by account type and base currency:

• RAW ECN Account:

  • Example in USD: $3 per side per lot (round turn: $6)

• PRO ECN Account:

  • Example in USD: $1.50 per side per lot (round turn: $3)

Commission rates also differ depending on the trading account currency (e.g., AUD, EUR, GBP, JPY, etc.).

Product-specific commissions also apply:

• Forex: $6 round turn (RAW ECN) or $3 (PRO ECN)

• ETFs: $12 per trade

• Precious metals: $6 (RAW) or $3 (PRO) per lot

• Shares: Percentage-based, depending on the region

3. Swap Rates

Swap fees (or rollover interest) are charged or credited for positions held overnight. These depend on the interest rate differential between the currencies in a pair and may result in either a cost or credit. Swap rates vary based on:

• Position size

• Duration held

• Market interest rates

• Currency pair

Swap fees are applied at 24:00 server time and are tripled on Wednesdays for forex and metals due to the weekend.

4. Deposit and Withdrawal Fees

• Deposits: No internal fees charged by Vantage. However, third-party banks or institutions may impose transfer or conversion fees.

• Withdrawals: Free for most methods. A flat fee of 20 units of the account currency applies to international bank transfers. Additional intermediary bank charges may also occur.

5. Copy Trading Fees

Vantage’s copy trading service has no management or subscription fees. Traders only pay applicable spreads or transaction costs. Performance fees may apply if a signal provider has enabled profit-sharing.

6. Internal Transfers

Transfers between accounts in the same base currency are fee-free. Transfers between accounts with different currencies may incur conversion costs based on the exchange rate.
