Comment by Reviewer
"PU Prime is a great fit for experienced, high-volume traders with its ECN account offering tight spreads from 0.0 pips and low commissions from $1/side. The addition of an easy-to-use copy trading app, alongside the stacked Trading Academy with progression levels, also makes PU Prime a strong option for aspiring traders. "	"VT Markets is a great choice for regular traders who are looking for very tight spreads and powerful charting software. The broker's share CFD offering is particularly strong, with hundreds of commission-free assets spanning multiple global markets."
Pros
Prime and ECN pricing can be very competitive for active traders, and in our tests spreads tightened notably in liquid sessions to hit ~0.0 pips. The platform lineup is strong, with the PU Prime Web Trader and app especially smooth to use with a modern design, easy-to-configure order tickets and responsive charts for fast entries and exits. There’s a great suite of tools for short-term traders, from practical margin and position sizing calculators to economic calendars and strong technical insights via Autochartist. PU Prime has upped its game over the years, including launching its PU Social app in 2022, securing ASIC authorization for its Australian entity in 2025, and adding over 200 trading instruments, bringing the total to 1,000+.	Traders can access a range of analysis tools supplied by reputable providers, including Trading Central’s Market Buzz AI tool and a customizable economic calendar Market-leading MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 charting platforms are offered, with advanced technical capabilities and access to Expert Advisors (EAs) Spreads are competitive based on tests, coming in at 0.2 pips for EUR/USD in the ECN account, aligning with top brands like Pepperstone There’s a strong range of payment methods, including bank wire, credit cards and e-wallets, plus 5 base currencies to choose from VT Markets offers free 90-day demo accounts allowing traders to thoroughly test their short-term strategies A proprietary copy trading service, VTrade, is available on two platforms, with access to 100+ providers
Cons
Getting through to customer support can be fiddly and slow to reach a human – in our latest checks we had to navigate multiple chatbot menus and questions then enter contact details before getting to an agent. The ECN account’s $10,000 minimum deposit puts the best pricing out of reach for some active retail traders who may end up paying more for spreads and commissions on Prime, Standard or Cent accounts. The in-house market updates are useful for a quick read, but they’re generally high-level and don’t go deep enough for serious strategy building or advanced analysis.	The broker’s bonus schemes have stringent terms and conditions, including restrictions on minimum deposits and payment methods used Unlike similar brands like Fusion Markets, VT Markets does not offer crypto trading
