www.vantagetrades.com has been flagged by AMF (France) for "Unauthorised". Category: Forex|Usurpation This company appears in our regulatory warnings database. Always verify with official regulatory sources before investing or doing business with this firm. Website domain: www.vantagetrades.com.
My withdrawal request from www.vantagetrades.com has been pending for over two weeks now. Every time I contact support, I get the same copy-paste response about processing times. This is unacceptable for a financial platform in this day and age.
Pros: No hidden fees|Regular updates
Cons: Withdrawal takes 1-2 business days
After since last summer with www.vantagetrades.com I requested to close my account and withdraw. They said I had to complete a 30-day cooling-off period. Then they said there was a minimum holding period for my last deposit. They make it as hard as possible to leave.
Pros: Social trading features|Real-time alerts
Cons: Email notifications too frequent
KYC with www.vantagetrades.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: Professional team|Educational resources|Portfolio tracking tools|Multi-currency support
Cons: Minimum deposit could be lower|Slow to add new assets
Their execution during news is terrible. I had limit orders in place. When the news hit, my orders were not filled at the limit price - they were filled much worse. www.vantagetrades.com said it was market conditions. Same news, another broker filled me properly. They are not honest.
Pros: Regular updates|Instant funding
Cons: No crypto staking
Opened my account with www.vantagetrades.com after attending a webinar they hosted and regretted it within the first month. The platform crashed during a critical moment, I lost potential gains, and support basically told me it was not their problem. Absolutely unacceptable behavior.
Pros: Detailed reporting|Smooth onboarding|Economic calendar
Cons: Minimum deposit could be lower
www.vantagetrades.com locked my account without warning and demanded documents I had already submitted. since I opened my account last year later I still do not have access to my funds. Their compliance team does not respond to emails. I am considering legal action.
Pros: Portfolio tracking tools|Real-time alerts|Market news feed|Regular platform improvements
Cons: Charting tools need more indicators
www.vantagetrades.com had an outage that lasted several hours during a major market event. Not only did they fail to prevent it, but they also failed to communicate what was happening. We were left in the dark while our investments were at risk.
Pros: Multi-currency support|Competitive fees|Easy to use platform|Clean UI
Cons: Nothing significant|Limited cryptocurrency options
I joined www.vantagetrades.com after a trusted YouTuber reviewed them and from the start, things felt off. The signup process collected far more personal information than necessary, the verification took unreasonably long, and when I finally got access, the platform was nothing like what was advertised.
Pros: Wide product range|Demo account available|Multiple order types|Fast deposits
Cons: Minimum deposit could be lower
The spread at www.vantagetrades.com is not what they advertise. During volatile markets it widens so much that you lose before the trade even starts. I found them through a podcast recommendation and initially thought the platform was good - until I started trading seriously.
Pros: Helpful community forum|Good mobile app|Stable platform|Good analytical tools
Cons: No dark mode on mobile|Slow to add new assets
