2022-01-17: VantageFX.com has rebranded to VantageMarkets.com.
May 2017: Despite being warned over a year ago, VantageFx.com appears to still be allowing Reza Mokhtarian to serve as an IB to the company. The FPA is very disappointed that VantageFx seems to be unconcerned about working with an accused criminal who has also been the subject of multiple regulator warnings.
June-July 2013: Multiple suspicious and fake positive reviews submitted.
VantageFX.com is part of Vantage International Group Limited. Known members of this group include KlimexCM.com, VTMarkets.com, VTMarkets.com.au MonetaMarkets.com, VantageFX.co.uk, and TradeLightFX.com.

Update on my case with Vantage
As you may have read, I had an issue with Vantage Markets on a couple of trades. However, while my initial experience did not meet that standard, I expressed my concerns to the support and compliance team, and they have made things right in the end.
For a trader, customer service is very important and Vantage Markets’ support was always fast and helpful. Therefore, overall, I recommend Vantage Markets to all investors and traders.
Nov 3, 2022 - 1 Star I invested in Vantage in March 2022 after falling for their false advertising. After I made a profit of 275K (!!!) in April 2022 by betting on Netflix, they are trying to swallow it up under the pretext of false allegations. I am devastated and cannot believe this can be happening.
First, they accused me of engaging in abnormal trading conditions, then I was told my trading style was too risky, later I was informed that my trading account was found to be associated with another person who was in breach of the terms and conditions of the Company. Throughout the course of my correspondence with them I have requested transparency with facts and credible reason(s) that would justify and legitimize the deduction in question but at each step of the way I was given rhetoric and jingoisms.
As they did not provide any information about the reasons, I asked an external professional auditor to review my trades with Vantage and compare them with their terms. Nothing was found and they never commented this fair independent analysis. This highlights the fraud intention.
Following on the heels of a harrowing five months of staggered communication and gaslighting they are now trying to force me to accept a rotten offer.
Till date I didn’t get any answers, not even to the easiest questions: why do they took my money? where do these gains go? Are they being returned to the liquidity providers?
I am very troubled as they are avoiding the truth and there are rumors going around that the company is going bankrupt and that their managers are scamming traders and splitting the profits amongst themselves. I need to know if this is true and why Vantage is not giving me my money back.
I have struggled with writing this post—partly because anger isn’t received well, especially if you’re a woman and I am grateful for the privilege to be heard on this forum. I hope the FPA can HELP ME in this case as I challenge Vantage to prove that I am guilty of all that they accuse me because I didn't do anything wrong.
Awareness and acknowledgment are only a small fraction of the work that needs to be done to adequately and redemptively address corporate fraud and cronyism by companies like Vantage against traders and investors like myself.
I am open to share all the required documents and details, account reports, and conversations, and I am in the process of detailing it as I’m talking about the probably biggest scam broker in trading world.

Reply by Vantage FX submitted Nov 24, 2022 Dear Iva, Thank you for taking the time to leave us with your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that you have had a less than satisfactory experience with us.

Up to 100 spreads that will wipe you out
If you are a Money Manager, run a service/ Pamm/Mam service you simply cannot afford to hold them on their platforms. They will compromise your account, and your clients will disappear when they too lose.
The audacity of the customer service rep, to insult our intelligence with ''You shouldn't trade during news''.
Money managers hold money frequently. I'm warning you... your draw down is greatly at risk at increasing.
Sep 13, 2022 - 1 Star I've seen 16 years of fx. I had a half million account with them at one stage. (think of the commissions they were making from us).
If you care for your draw down records for public scrutiny, this is not the broker for you.
I swear to you one night I recorded a 100 pip spread. Plenty of margin and still stopped out on news events on mysterious spread that didn't show on the mt4 screen?? My God, it's 2022 and this still goes on??
NEVER AGAIN WITH THIS BROKER. NEVER AGAIN!!!
I will update with the rest of the dark experience later.
Reply by Vantage FX submitted Sep 19, 2022 Hi Richard,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us, and we are sorry to hear about your less than satisfactory experience. We hear your frustrations and we wish to assure you that your trading experience is of utmost importance to us. Based on your review, we believe you experienced a widened spread, which often occurs during volatile moments such as market opening and closing. This widened gap between the bid/ask prices often causes fluctuations in P&L even while the chart appears still. Our team was unable to locate your specific case, so we would like to invite you to contact us directly via phone, live chat or email at support@vantagemarkets.com. We'd be happy to assist you further on this.

A broker to recommend
Very good broker. Opened a Demo and a Live account. If you immediately have a Live acc. open, the Demo acc. is forever. If you first open a Demo, it is only valid for 30 days. Anyway, their conditions are very good -spreads up to 1:500- and the support very fast. You will be helped quickly in the chat contact. Certainly a broker to recommend

This behaviour set reasonable grounds for taking the right actions. However, we do wish to extend our apologies for any delayed correspondence. While we do try our best to communicate effectively and efficiently with our customers, unfortunately due to the complexity of a case, it may take longer for some cases to resolve any underlying issues and provide the best possible outcome.

SCAMMM

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. While trading leverage CFD products itself carries significant risks, we are sorry to hear that you have had a negative experience with your trading and would like to hear more on the actual issue. While we were not able to locate your specific case, we would love to get in touch with you directly to resolve any issues where possible. We are always available for contact via phone, live chat or email at support@vantagemarkets.com

My money stuck at pamm

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and would like to stress that we take pride in responding to all our clients' requests efficiently in the best way possible to address their concerns. Regarding the PAMM investor account, however, it is to note that a PAMM master acts in their capacity as an agent of the trader and not that of Vantage. Therefore, for any PAMM account related inquiries, we suggest you to contact the PAMM master directly. To discuss the matter further, we suggest you contact our support team and we'll be happy to look into the circumstances specific to your individual case.
