Comment by Reviewer
"PU Prime will appeal to traders seeking high leverage and low fees in a direct-to-market trading environment."	"Vantage remains an excellent option for CFD traders seeking a tightly-regulated broker with access to the reliable MetaTrader platforms. The fast sign-up process and $50 minimum deposit make it very straightforward to start day trading quickly."
Pros
Industry-recognized MT4 and MT5 platforms and mobile apps Good range of assets with nearly 1000 instruments over six asset classes Competitive fees with the Prime account spreads starting at 0.4 with a $7 commission Safeguards clients with segregated funds and negative balance protection PU Social app with copy trading capabilities Demo account with virtual funds Swap-free Islamic account Multilingual customer service	Vantage maintains its high trust score thanks to its strong reputation and top-tier regulation from the FCA and ASIC Vantage has bolstered its algorithmic trading tools for advanced traders with AutoFibo EA identifying reversal opportunities The ECN accounts are very competitive with spreads from 0.0 pips and a $1.50 commission per side There’s an excellent suite of day trading software, including the award-winning platforms MT4 and MT5 The broker has recently made efforts to expand its suite of CFDs providing further trading opportunities Vantage caters to hands-off investors with beginner-friendly social trading via ZuluTrade & Myfxbook The low minimum deposit of $50 and zero funding fees make this broker a great choice for new traders There are no short-term strategy restrictions with hedging and scalping permitted It’s quick and easy to open a live account – taking less than 5 minutes
Cons
No tier 1 regulatory oversight Relatively high $40 minimum withdrawal and handling fee for withdrawals under $100 Standard account spreads are mediocre	It's a shame that some clients will need to register with the offshore entity, which offers less regulatory protection A steep $10,000 deposit is needed for the best trading conditions, which include the $1.50 commission per side The average execution speeds of 100ms to 250ms are slower than alternatives based on tests Unfortunately, cryptos are only available for Australian clients

App Review
	Vantage offers one of the most complete trading apps we’ve used. The crisp design and slick interface makes analyzing markets and placing trades straightforward. Changing to horizontal mode offers an optimal charting view, though frustratingly it can take a few seconds for the app to respond. Fortunately, this minor drawback is outweighed by the ease of overlaying indicators and drawing tools, plus the integrated economic calendar, newsfeed, market analysis, and even FX TV.
