Vantage FX vs Pepperstone: Which is best broker?Opinions and comparative

[TesSCoru]

I open this thread because I have been reading many horrible stories about Vantagefx.I have account both in Pepper and Vantage.My Vantage account is profitable and is not part of my main account, but I still have 15,000 USD there, a significant amount of which I worry about losing control.Use Pepper and Vantage as a kind of secondary investment, while I do main trading with a well -known Swiss broker.My doubts arose when I heard about a Mokhtarian Reza.5 minutes of reading were enough to discover the type of person that is;It seems the height and the definition of a scammer.Although it is only an IB (Introduction Broker

I have Pepperstone account, but not with Vantagefx.If I had it, it would definitely not let the opinions of others annul my own experience.Life has taught me that every time I let others influence my decisions, I end up repenting me.Sorry if my comment does not help you much.Don't stop dreaming ... just sleeping.

Could you count more about the specific reasons to choose Vantagefx as one of your brokers at the beginning?In general, I can only encourage you to diversify your portfolio by more than two brokers.The distrust you have about that image is already enough reason to reduce your investment there.Although I cannot help you directly, I will tell you that I have a profitable portfolio for several years, distributed in more than 10 brokers ... and Vantagefx is not among them.

I think Vantagefx uses both A-Booking and B-Booking, which makes it easier for scams as praying to increase broker profits.I have no problem with the mixed brakege model, as long as the broker does not cheat and only classify customers in profitable and not profitable to maximize their benefits.For example, if a trader loses for months, B-Book is assigned, but if he becomes more expert and begins to win, the broker changes it to A-Book and only wins commissions.However, I never dared to try Vantagefx precisely because of its type of promotional campaigns.

I also have accounts in Pepperstone and other brokers, but my main account to operate manually is in Dukascopy, which has high commissions but an excellent service and high fund protection.I joined Vantagefx because I wanted to diversify my funds to automatic trading, a �money that generates money,� while my manual trading focuses on dukascopy.I chose Vantagefx because they have server in London and offer very low commissions.Since I opened the account I have made several retreats and, to be fair, I have always received the money in 2-3 days, whether a $ 201 or $ 13,000 withdrawal.I don't want to leave because, personally, I haven't had problems;I am consistently profitable there and retired regularly.However, what I have discovered in recent days has me worried, even if it is only a small part of my portfolio.

Well, if you are so worried to open a thread here, why don't you simply move money to another place and take away your concern?

I also operate with Vantage FX and at the time I asked the same question about his association with Praza.After speaking directly with Vantage, I concluded that it is only a regular IB relationship.Reza is a despicable guy, but what are you expecting?If your customers do not go to Vantage FX, they end up in some "bucketshop" not regulated in Belize.At least here their followers have an opportunity when they realize and decide to learn to operate for themselves.For me, while Vantage has good regulation, low commissions, competitive spans and there are no problems withdrawing money, that is what matters.These are the reasons why I do not care what they promote.

[TesSCoru]

I am thinking of opening an account with Vantagefx, but with all the negative comments I have read, I do not know if it is worth the risk.I want to take advantage of your low commissions, but I don't know if savings justify possible insecurity.Does anyone here trust them in the long term?

[Thboitra]

I understand your doubts, but honestly, if you already have that uncertainty before starting, it is probably not the best broker for you.With so many options in the market, why risk?Tranquility is essential when money is handled, especially if you are thinking of long -term trading.If you do not feel safe from the beginning, it may be better to look for another broker that inspires you more confidence.It has nothing wrong to be cautious;In the end, it is your money that is at stake.In addition, although Vantagefx has low commissions, he considers that in some cases the cheap is expensive.It is true that some users have had positive experiences, but also the negative reports are sufficient to make anyone doubt.If you are looking for stability, a good reputation in the market and a history without incident, it may be better to go with a greater prestige option and leave the "good prices" in the background.

Look, I have been operating in Vantagefx for more than three years, and although they have not been perfect, I have been able to withdraw my profits without problems.Of course, I have heard unpleasant stories, but also from other big brokers.The reality is that any company has its ups and downs, and I think Vantagefx is no exception.My personal experience has been quite good, but that does not mean you can't have problems.If you decide to try them, I suggest you start with an amount that does not bother you to lose or do not represent a large part of your capital.Over time, you will see if they meet your expectations.Each experience is different, and in the end, what counts is how the broker responds in your own operations and needs.

[sorguvudesSraCora]

Frankly, if you worry both an IB and Mokhtarian, maybe you should get away from Vantagefx.I had a bad experience with another broker that promoted questionable characters, and although it did not seem relevant, those little details say a lot about the ethics of the company.If they are willing to associate with someone who does not inspire confidence, what guarantees that they will handle your money?Personally, that lack of criteria makes me doubt his professionalism.In addition, with brokers like Pepperstone or Dukascopy, you have more transparent options and less drama.The fact that Vantagefx Tolere characters like Reza implies that they are only interested in easy money, not long -term customer satisfaction.If you look good, serious brokers do not need these doubtful marketing tactics;They prefer to focus on service and maintain the trust of their users.

[esndrooesCakza]

It is curious that so many negative comments about Vantagefx focus on marketing and promotions issues rather than technical problems or serious failures on the platform.Sometimes brokers use controversial figures to attract certain customers, but that does not necessarily mean that the platform is insecure.I have operated with Vantagefx and, until now, I have not seen serious problems in terms of execution or retreats.That said, it is true that the perception that a broker gives when associated with doubtful characters can affect our trust in them.But I have also seen that many people work well and have had positive experiences.In any case, if you decide to stay with them, keep a constant surveillance and remove your profits regularly.So you can protect yourself from any possible problem.

[TUTEsCA]

I think the main problem here is that many look for a reliable platform, but also that it is cheap.The reality is that, in trading, obtaining both is very complicated.Vantagefx's low commissions are attractive, but if you are not willing to assume certain risks, it may not be the best broker for you.Sometimes, paying a little more in commissions can give you greater mental peace and long -term security.On the other hand, the point of wanting to diversify with a cheaper option is also valid.The ideal would be to try a small account and see how you are doing.If it turns out that savings in commissions compensates for any inconvenience, then it is a good choice.But, if at some point you feel that something is not going well, better to consider other options.In the end, you decide where you are willing to trust your money.

[jino2017]

I honestly do not understand the uproar.I have been operating with Vantagefx for some time and I have always received my retreats without problem.It is true that some IB may not be trustworthy, but that does not define the broker itself.Many brokers have IB agreements, and each trader should focus on their own direct experience with the broker, not what others say or in the IBs they use for promotion.It's like judging a restaurant for the food deliveryman.Now, if you already have doubts, then it may not be worth continuing with them.Trust is essential in this business.If you do not feel safe or if you are constantly doubting, then look for another broker to give you the mental peace you need.Personally, I will continue with Vantagefx as they continue to comply with.

[dinessa]

I think all brokers have some controversy behind.Even the greats such as Interactive Brokers or Oanda have had their share of criticism.Sometimes, customers only publish bad experiences because nobody bothers to publish the good.In my experience, Vantagefx has been compliant, but I also have accounts in other places.Diversification is key if you want to sleep peacefully in trading.I recommend that, if you decide to stay with Vantage, do not put all your funds there.Use a part of your capital and keep the rest in another more consolidated broker.I do not say that Vantage is bad, but in this business it never hurts to have a plan B. After all, we are talking about money and, as a trader, it is always better to prevent than regret.

[Dortux]

I understand your concerns, but there is something we should consider: in trading, any broker can have problems.Vantagefx is only one among many and, even if some criticize it, I have known people who have been withdrawing money without problems for years.Brokers are not perfect, and even in the most regulated you can find cases of dissatisfaction.Maybe it's a matter of luck or volume of operations, I don't know.My advice is that you keep the caution and, if you decide to operate with them, monitor your operations and withdrawals regularly.It is not a bad idea to remove profits frequently, to avoid surprises.I think that while you are still profitable and you can get your money, there is no need to make drastic changes.It only takes precautions and is attentive to any change in its policies.

[jatuyess47]

Look, if you worry about the theme of the characters that promote Vantagefx, then it is best to look for another broker.Although many traders use them without problem, the reality is that the atmosphere of trust is fundamental in this business.What is the use of operating in a place that makes you doubt each movement?Serious brokers usually maintain a low profile and focus on their reputation, not on controversial figures.My experience with Vantagefx has been neutral;I have never had serious problems, but it is not my main broker.I think it is an economic option and can be useful in certain aspects, but the feeling of being backed is something that you cannot sacrifice.If you have doubts, it is always better to go for sure and choose a broker with an impeccable trajectory.

[Niestu1]

For me, the problem of associating with characters such as Mokhtarian is just a sign of the company's standards.If Vantagefx allows someone like that to be their representative, what other questionable decisions will be taking?Of course, the broker can fulfill in terms of execution and withdrawals, but that lack of criteria in its relationships is worrying.It is not that one expects perfection, but a minimum of ethics.I have seen brokers that have collapsed by decisions like these, and although it may not happen in this case, I prefer not to risk.With Pepperstone or Dukascopy, for example, I feel that my money is safer.If Vantagefx makes you doubt, follow your instincts;Sometimes our intuitions are more successful than we think.It is your money, and it is you who decides who you trust.

[Kesrgitu]

Sometimes it gives me the impression that in trading, many times those who complain do so because they did not understand how markets work.Vantagefx has some questionable aspects, yes, but I have seen how some traders do not assume their mistakes and blame the platform for their losses.You have to be objective;If your experience with Vantagefx has been positive, perhaps those complaints should not worry so much.Of course, it is always wise to diversify, and if you feel safer having your funds in several brokers, go ahead.But I have met people who have benefited a lot from Vantagefx, and I see no reason to distrust if you have never had problems with retreats or execution.In trading, sometimes you have to take risks, and decide on what broker to trust is one of them.

[desvucuTk82]

I had an account with Vantagefx a long time ago and, although it was good for me, I ended up closing it.My decision was because, when comparing its transparency and policies with other brokers, I felt that there was a lack of clarity.In my case, I found better conditions in other places, but I admit that I had no major problems with them.That is, they work well for many traders, but the confidence environment is different in each broker.Sometimes, it is best to try a small amount, as you have done, and see how things take place over time.Trust is something that is built.If in the future you see that policies change or find something you do not like, that's when you can make the decision to move your funds to a place that gives you more stability and security.

[TOTUTK]

I have been operating with several brokers for some time and I will tell you something: sometimes we care more about rumors than our own experiences.I open in Vantagefx and I have never had problems with them, but I know that certain precautions must be taken.If you really have doubts, it is best to reduce the amount you have there or do periodic retreats.Keep what is necessary to operate and do not put your entire capital in a single account.In addition, in this business diversification is key.You can also try other brokers of good reputation, and so you don't depend on one.If you decide to stay, monitor your retreats and your account regularly.Remember that a good trading strategy includes not only winning, but also ensuring that you can have your profits whenever you want.

[esngoS2390]

I do not believe that a broker who associates with questionable characters is necessarily a bad broker, but it is something that generates doubts.Vantagefx has been consistent for me in terms of retreats and support, but I also understand that trust is difficult to maintain when there are strange signs.Each one decides based on their experience, and in the end only you can evaluate whether you are willing to continue operating there.If the topic of Reza Mokhtarian bothers you so much, better look for another broker that has a clearer reputation.Maybe the best thing is that you feel comfortable and calm with the platform you use.I have had my doubts, but so far, while my retreats continue to work, I will continue with them.
