Vantage
Overall
I used to trade Vantage in the early summer of 2010 but they had some real issues with spread widening on Fridays that would take out even generous stop levels, so I left of course. I have not started trading again with them but I have been watching the spreads for a few days and they are the best among non-commission brokers at this time. The customer support has been very good and they have phoned me three times to help answer questions although they have not succeeded fully, hence I held back some points for that. And the free VPS service is also very enticing which in my opinion is really helping them compete against the highly competitive Australian brokers quite successfully. Now the final verdict will have to be given upon resumption of live trading.

Spreads are too wide. I don't know why you'd use these guys instead of some other broker.

I have the standard account with them, i trade quite often with microlots and they are nearly no requotes. They always reply fast to my emails and this is good. Much better execution that I had with CMC!!
Well done and Thanks

I only write reviews after at least 2 months trading with a broker so I think that way it's fair, you don't make a reaction good or bad on the back of just one small experience because a good broker and good broker relationship takes a while to judge.
It is a pleasure trading with Vantage FX they are honest every time. You get your trades filled instantly and get out of the positions very easy. I never had a slippage and the spreads are constant over the night on the currencies I trade. One of the best fixed Spread brokers you can choose. Excellent costumer service...

started using Vantage FX a few weeks back because of their strategy builder platform.
Great system and the staff are pretty helpful. I will take a look at their FX book.
