How Vantage FX works

You’ll have the opportunity to trade Forex on institutional grade liquidity direct from the world’s largest banks and institutions with no spread mark-up, just a small $3.00 commission [per side].

Vantage FX guarantees that all Forex traders using the Vantage FX RAW ECN account are trading on the real Interbank Forex market. This ensures that Vantage FX is never the counterparty to your trade, avoiding any exposure to conflicts of interest.

Your order will be created on VIG’s MT4 trading platform. Those orders will be immediately transmitted through to our various liquidity providers utilising our straight through processing technology.

4. Execution Venues

VIG receives price feeds from liquidity providers...VIG has elected to appoint various liquidity providers/execution venues to whom all orders will be transmitted for execution. They are also our technology providers. VIG has identified those venues on which VIG will most regularly seek to transmit your orders...One of our liquidity providers has common shareholdings with VIG, which has been identified to be a conflict of interest, however this conflict is carefully managed by VIG through its best execution policy.

VIG does NOT receive ‘Payment for Order Flow’, meaning that we do not receive commission or fees for arranging transactions with market makers, thereby ensuring that there is no conflict created by fees in our execution arrangements.

10. Conflicts of Interest

VIG recognises that conflicts may exist between the interests of VIG and its clients. The platform on which orders are transmitted will display the best available price from one of our chosen liquidity providers that we have determined (based on a number of execution factors) to be suitable for certain market orders.
