Day traders can capitalize on short-term price movements in Vietnamese, wider South East Asian and global financial markets through an online broker.

The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) and State Securities Commission of Vietnam (SSC) oversee the country’s financial markets but do not actively regulate brokers, so Vietnamese traders often turn to international providers.

Jump into DayTrading.com’s top day trading brokers in Vietnam, which were evaluated by our traders and experts. Some of our recommended platforms specifically cater to active Vietnamese traders with VND accounts.

*Leverage magnifies both profits and losses and can result in the loss of your entire investment. The leverage figures shown are the maximums levels available at each broker and may vary depending on the instrument and account. 

Methodology

To find the top platforms for Vietnamese day traders, we scoured hundreds of brokers in our database to find all those that accept clients in Vietnam.

We then sorted them by their overall rating, using findings from our in-depth tests and a comprehensive set of data points.

How To Choose A Day Trading Broker In Vietnam

Drawing on our expertise, these are the key considerations when choosing a provider for day trading:

Trust

Choose a trustworthy broker to help protect you from trading scams that have been widespread in recent years. For example, Hanoi police estimated around 300 illegal forex trading platforms were operating in Vietnam.

That’s why we look for several cornerstones when assessing the trustworthiness of a broker:

• Whether it holds one or more licenses from trusted financial authorities in line with DayTrading.com’s Regulation & Trust Rating.
• User ratings (traders can directly comment on our day trading broker reviews) and the opinions of our experts (some of our team have been trading for 20+ years).
• Its overall track record (whether it has been involved in any lawsuits or credible reports of unfair trading practices).

Market Access

As a Vietnamese day trader, you may be looking for local markets, like currency pairs involving the Vietnamese dong (VND) such as VND/USD and VND/THB, or securities listed on the Hanoi Stock Exchange.

However, these aren’t as widely supported as other Asian, European and global markets from our evaluations, so we favor brokers that provide opportunities across a broad range of assets, allowing you to spread risk and capitalize on diverse trading opportunities.

Having said that, some top brokers offer the country’s key export commodities like oil and coffee, as well as funds or indices that have exposure to Vietnamese markets.

Day Trading Fees

When using popular short-term trading vehicles like contracts for difference (CFDs), spreads and commissions will be the primary fees you’ll encounter. So it’s key to find a low-cost provider.

We assess these alongside currency conversion charges or any account maintenance fees, as well as taking into account the company’s overall day trading environment. Brokers with VND accounts can help you minimize fees when depositing and withdrawing in dong.

Charting Tools

To day trade, you’ll need a powerful and user-friendly charting platform with short-term timeframes, technical indicators, and potentially drawing objects.

Whether the broker offers the classic MetaTrader 4, the contemporary TradingView, or a beginner-friendly proprietary terminal, make sure you get on with the workspace and have access to the features you need.

TradingView is hands-down my favorite – offering the full package for active traders at every level.

It has an intuitive design and easy navigation that is required for beginners, whilst the comprehensive suite of 100+ built-in indicators and extensive research features caters to experienced traders.

Leverage & Margin

Leverage is an important tool that gives you more buying power for a modest outlay. For example, a 1,000 VND outlay could be amplified to 10,000 VND with leverage of 1:10.

However, borrowing funds like this is risky, especially if you don’t understand the broker’s margin requirements (the amount you need to open and maintain trades).

Because losses are multiplied by the same factor, they can also be heavy if the market moves against you, so risk management is an absolute must to keep a handle on excessive losses.

Execution Quality

To trade any asset, especially volatile markets like Vietnamese currency pairs and securities, you will need fast and reliable order execution.

That’s why we assess order execution speeds where data is available, with less than 100 milliseconds being what we typically consider as ‘fast’

We also look at slippage rates, which is the difference in price between order placement and order fulfilment. Some brokers can achieve ‘better fills’ which means they have secured a price that’s better than the one you requested – great for fast-paced trading strategies.

Account Funding

Many Vietnamese traders will be looking for brokerage accounts that are affordable to open and fund.

Thankfully, most brokers only require a first deposit of up to 250 USD (approximately 6,152,500 VND), though many of the platforms we’ve tested accept new clients for much less.

If available, local payment methods can also help Vietnamese traders save on transaction times and costs. According to research by Adyen, Visa and Mastercard payments remain prominent in Vietnam, alongside lesser-known digital wallets like MoMo.

FAQ

Who Regulates Day Trading Brokers In Vietnam?

The State Securities Commission of Vietnam (SSC) and State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) supervise the financial markets and online trading provides.

However, since the SVB doesn’t actively license many brokerages, Vietnamese traders often turn to trusted international firms. If you opt for this, make sure you continue to follow SVB’s trading regulations and Vietnamese tax rules.

The best broker will depend on your individual requirements. A great place to start is DayTrading.com’s list of the best day trading platforms in Vietnam.
