Comment by Reviewer
"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."	"AAAFx is best for forex traders seeking ECN conditions with spreads from zero and MetaTrader access. It’s also suitable for social traders with ZuluTrade support. However, AAAFx seriously falls short for newer traders with minimal research features and no educational tools."
Pros
Vantage maintains its high trust score thanks to its strong reputation and top-tier regulation from the FCA and ASIC 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 2 minutes	There are sophisticated MT4 and MT5 charting platforms for advanced day traders, featuring a huge selection of indicators, drawing tools, chart types, and analysis features. You get fast execution speeds from 10 milliseconds with no restrictions on strategies, creating a flexible environment for day traders. AAAFx supports a wide range of payment methods with near-instant funding and zero transfer fees, ensuring convenient deposits. Fast and dependable 24/5 support is available following hands-on testing across live chat, telephone and email. The minimum deposit is low and opening an account is fast, taking less than 5 minutes.
Cons
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clients	By discontinuing ActTrader and lacking a proprietary platform, traders are limited to MetaTrader, which is outdated and less ideal for newcomers. You can’t make deposits and manage your AAAFx account through an app, meaning you have to sign in to the website, dampening the mobile trading experience. The selection of currencies is strong but AAAFx lacks depth in its stocks, indices, commodities and cryptos, limiting the range of trading opportunities. There are no proprietary educational tools, relying on ZuluTrade, making AAAFx less attractive to beginners compared to brokers like eToro.

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.	AAAFx does not offer its own app, but you can trade forex, stocks, indices, commodities and crypto on the MT4 and MT5 platforms. The apps offer a reliable environment for experienced mobile traders with robust charting tools. However, clients of AAAFx can’t manage their accounts, so you still have to log into the client area online to make deposits and withdrawals, making for a less complete mobile trading experience.
