Pros
Vantage upholds a high trust score through its solid reputation, backed by premier regulation from the FCA and ASIC. Vantage has enhanced its trading tools for experienced traders, introducing AutoFibo EA to pinpoint potential market reversals. ECN accounts offer competitive terms, featuring spreads starting at 0.0 pips and a commission of $1.50 per trade side. The trading software suite is outstanding, featuring the acclaimed MT4 and MT5 platforms. The broker recently expanded its range of CFDs, offering more trading opportunities. Vantage addresses the needs of passive investors through user-friendly social trading on ZuluTrade and Myfxbook. With a minimal deposit requirement of just $50 and no funding fees, this broker stands out as an excellent option for novice traders. Hedging and scalping strategies are fully permitted without any short-term restrictions. Opening a live account is both straightforward and swift, requiring under 5 minutes to complete.	Axi provides an excellent MT4 experience, enhanced by the NextGen plug-in for sophisticated order management and analytics, with low execution latency around 30ms. Axi Academy offers a wealth of educational resources, from free eBooks and video tutorials to interactive quizzes. These are particularly beneficial for novice traders. Based on our tests, Axi's new trading app is highly intuitive. It offers practical filtering options to align strategies with individual risk preferences. Experienced traders are invited to join the Axi Select funded trader programme via the broker's international branch. This scheme offers up to $1 million in capital with the benefit of a 90% profit share.
Cons
It's unfortunate that some clients must register with the offshore firm, which provides reduced regulatory safeguards. To access optimal trading conditions, a substantial deposit of $10,000 is required. This includes a commission of $1.50 per transaction per side. Based on tests, average execution speeds of 100ms to 250ms are slower compared to other options. Regrettably, cryptocurrencies are accessible solely to clients in Australia.	Axi lags by solely providing MT4, while competitors have upgraded to MT5, cTrader, TradingView, and bespoke platforms, delivering a smoother user experience with enhanced tools. Even with the expansion of stock CFDs in the US, UK, and EU markets, its range still falls short compared to companies like BlackBull, which provide thousands of equities for varied trading opportunities. Axi retains our confidence. However, recent issues with ASIC and FMA require it to maintain a secure environment and comply with licensing standards. Although Axi delivers excellent performance, its support is not available 24/7. This unavailability can be inconvenient for traders operating in different time zones or requiring help beyond regular trading hours.
