Getting started

It differs by account type. Check the conditions for each type on the official sign-up page. We do not list amounts on this site — they change often.

Demo trading is available. You practice on the same screens with virtual money, so no real money is involved.

It is a way of trading a large amount with a small amount of money. Profits and losses both grow in multiples, so even a small move against you can force your position to be closed.

Tax treatment of overseas derivatives trading differs by country and by personal circumstances. Check the rules where you live.

According to the official guidance, each person may hold only one registered account, and duplicate applications are not accepted. The account type, currency, and trading platform (the program you use to place orders) you choose at registration cannot be changed later either, so take your time when you first choose. If you need different terms, you can open one more trading account in the Client Portal (the personal management screen operated by the broker). The account review and approval are done by the broker, not by us.

First, check that the spelling of your email address and the domain (the part after the @) are correct. Also look in your spam and junk mail folders, wait a moment, and check again. The official guidance also mentions receiving the code again with the resend button on the registration screen, or clearing your browser cache (temporary files) and trying a different browser. If it still does not arrive, contact the broker's customer support.

You can submit them later in the broker's client portal. However, according to the official information, some features may be limited before verification is complete, and depositing and withdrawing money is also said to be affected by whether you are verified. Document checks and approval are handled directly by the broker; we only provide guidance in English and do not receive or store documents.

The common causes of a blocked upload are a file that is too large or a format that is not allowed. The size limit and the supported formats are written in the official guidance, so check there first. Try compressing the file or reducing the image size and uploading it again; if that still does not work, contact the broker's customer support.

You do this in the Vantage Client Portal or the Vantage app. After logging in, tap 'Funds' in the menu, choose 'Deposit', then enter the trading account and the amount you want to deposit and select a payment method. All deposit processing is handled by the broker; our site only provides guidance in English. Please remember that the money you deposit is used for trading, so you can lose your capital.

First, go to 'Funds → Transaction History → Deposit' in the Client Portal ('Profile → Funds' in the app) and check the date, trading account, deposit method, amount, and processing status. According to the official guidance, it can be delayed by processing delays, system problems, or additional verification procedures, and it can take longer on public holidays and weekends. If it is still not credited after some time, contact the broker's customer support. Deposit confirmation and processing are all done by the broker, so we cannot look them up on our site.

First opt in through the Client Portal and complete a qualifying deposit, and the credit bonus will be paid into your account. There are conditions on the minimum deposit amount and the eligible account types, so check the exact criteria in Vantage's official guidance; you can cancel the opt-in at any time in the portal. The bonus credit itself cannot be withdrawn or transferred to anyone else, but profits earned by trading with that credit are added to your balance and can be withdrawn through the usual withdrawal process. Conversely, losses are deducted from your balance, and if you withdraw your deposit or profits the credit is also reduced in proportion to that amount; trading carries the risk of losing your principal.

Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a step that checks a one-time numeric code in addition to your password, and the official guidance explains that this step is what makes it possible for only the account holder to approve a withdrawal. Even if someone finds out your password, they cannot take your money without the authenticator app. When you change phones, if you can still use the old device, go to Profile > Security Management > Security Authenticator App in the Client Portal, click 'Edit', enter the code from your current device, and scan the QR code again with the authenticator app on the new device. If you cannot use the old device, you can change it in the Vantage app under Profile > Security > Two-Factor Authentication by verifying your identity with email, face verification, or your mobile number, or you can send verification materials to the broker's customer support email and request manual removal, with the required documents decided by the broker.
