eu.vtmarkets.com has been flagged by AMF (France) for "Unauthorised". Category: Forex This company appears in our regulatory warnings database. Always verify with official regulatory sources before investing or doing business with this firm. Website domain: eu.vtmarkets.com.
I opened an account with eu.vtmarkets.com for close to eighteen months ago. The platform frequently logs you out, orders fail to execute at the stated price, and when you complain they blame your internet connection. I have screenshots proving otherwise.
Pros: Helpful community forum|Reliable uptime|Good mobile app|Instant funding
Cons: Cannot customize dashboard fully
The hidden fees at eu.vtmarkets.com are the real scandal here. What they advertise and what they actually charge are two different things. By the time I realized how much I was paying in various fees and spreads, I had already lost a meaningful amount.
Pros: Social trading features|Good analytical tools
Cons: Desktop app not available on Linux|Wait times can be long during peak hours
I referred a friend to eu.vtmarkets.com based on a colleague's recommendation. We both deposited. The referral bonus never arrived. Support said we did not meet the terms. When we asked which terms they pointed to a clause that was added after we signed up. Shady.
Pros: Copy trading available|Automated trading options
Cons: Limited cryptocurrency options|Minor UI glitches occasionally
The spread at eu.vtmarkets.com is not what they advertise. During volatile markets it widens so much that you lose before the trade even starts. I found them after seeing their ad online and initially thought the platform was good - until I started trading seriously.
Pros: Regular platform improvements|Two-factor authentication|Low minimum deposit|Reliable uptime
Cons: Withdrawal takes 1-2 business days|No phone support on weekends
eu.vtmarkets.com changed their fee structure with one month notice. What was a flat fee became a percentage. For my account size it meant a huge increase. When I objected they said I could leave. So I am leaving and writing this review.
Pros: Portfolio tracking tools|Customizable dashboard|Easy withdrawals
Cons: Could offer more webinars|No dark mode on mobile
The only good thing about eu.vtmarkets.com is that they remind you why regulation matters. I found them from a review site like this one. They are regulated in a jurisdiction with weak consumer protection. When things went wrong I had nowhere to turn. Stick to well-regulated brokers.
Pros: Excellent charting|Smooth onboarding|Detailed reporting|Automated trading options
Cons: Charting tools need more indicators|Withdrawal takes 1-2 business days
KYC with eu.vtmarkets.com is a nightmare. I submitted my ID and proof of address. They rejected it and asked for a utility bill. I sent it. They asked for a bank statement. Then they asked for a selfie with the ID. Then they said the selfie did not match. I gave up.
Pros: Fast execution|Competitive fees|Intuitive for beginners
Cons: No fractional shares|Currency conversion fee exists
The mobile app from eu.vtmarkets.com is dangerous. I placed an order that showed as pending, so I placed another. Both executed and I was overexposed. When I complained they said it was user error. The app design is misleading.
Pros: Risk management tools|Portfolio tracking tools|Fast execution
Cons: Email notifications too frequent|Wait times can be long during peak hours
I wanted to transfer my portfolio from another broker to eu.vtmarkets.com. They said they do not accept in-kind transfers for my asset type. I had to sell, withdraw, deposit, and rebuy - incurring taxes and spread costs. They did not tell me this before I signed up.
Pros: Good analytical tools|Market news feed|Risk management tools
Cons: Account statements could be more detailed
My withdrawal from eu.vtmarkets.com was rejected three times for vague reasons. Each time they asked for more documents. When I finally provided everything, they said my account was under review. for just over a year of being strung along.
Pros: Good mobile app|Easy to use platform|Dividend tracking
Cons: Search feature is basic|Inactivity fee applies after 12 months
