Vantage Trading Conditions
Account types, spreads, commission and leverage at Vantage — the numbers the broker publishes, in plain terms.
Open Account →Vantage runs three live account types. Standard STP is spread-only with no separate commission and EUR/USD spreads from 1.0 pips. Raw ECN prices from 0.0 pips and charges USD 3.00 per standard lot per side; Pro ECN prices from 0.0 pips at USD 1.50 per side. Standard STP and Raw ECN open from USD 50; Pro ECN starts at USD 10,000. Leverage reaches 1:500 through the Vanuatu entity, and INR is not an account base currency.
How Vantage prices a trade
- Standard STP is a spread-only account: EUR/USD spreads start from 1.0 pips and no separate commission is charged.
- Raw ECN quotes from 0.0 pips and adds USD 3.00 per standard lot per side (USD 6.00 round turn).
- Pro ECN quotes from 0.0 pips and adds USD 1.50 per standard lot per side (USD 3.00 round turn), from a USD 10,000 minimum deposit.
- Spreads are variable: the “from” figure is a floor, not an average, and widens around scheduled releases, the daily rollover and thin liquidity hours.
- Positions held past the daily rollover are charged or credited a swap; the swap-free option removes it on eligible accounts, on request.
- Account base currencies are AUD, USD, GBP, EUR, NZD, SGD, JPY, CAD and HKD. INR is not among them, so traders in India usually hold a USD account and convert once when funding.
- Leverage of up to 1:500 is available through the Vanuatu (VFSC) entity; other group entities apply lower retail caps, so your cap follows the entity that accepts the account.

Frequently asked questions
Which Vantage account is cheaper overall?
It depends on how much you trade. Raw ECN usually works out cheaper for active traders because the raw spread plus USD 6.00 round-turn commission is often narrower than the all-in Standard STP spread.
Are Vantage spreads fixed?
No. Spreads are variable and widen around economic releases, the daily rollover and thin liquidity hours.
Can I hold an INR account at Vantage?
No. The published account base currencies are AUD, USD, GBP, EUR, NZD, SGD, JPY, CAD and HKD; INR is not among them, so traders in India usually hold a USD account and convert once when funding.
