Vantage FX will appeal to traders who value low trading costs and use indicators to make trading decisions. Be aware that Vantage FX's financial instruments are somewhat limited compared to other similar brokers.  An STP/ECN broker, Vantage FX offers three accounts with minimum deposits linked to tighter spreads and lower trading costs. The commission-free Standard Account requires a minimum deposit of 200 USD but spreads start at 1.0 pip on the EUR/USD. Trading conditions improve significantly on its Raw ECN and Pro Accounts, which have 0 pip spreads and reasonable commissions, but minimum deposits of 500 USD and 20,000 USD, respectively.   CFD's available at Vantage FX include Forex, indices, energies, metals, shares, and cryptocurrencies, but there are a limited number of assets per class which may leave more experienced traders dissatisfied.  Vantage FX is great for trading platform choice though, with MT4, MT5, and the Vantage FX app in addition to three social trading platforms.  

With a wide range of financial instruments available on four different trading platforms (MT4, MT5, cTrader, and R Stock Trader), RoboForex appeals to traders who value low trading costs and a broad range of account choices. RoboForex offers four live CFD accounts with a minimum deposit of only [fxs-broker-property identifier="deposit"] [fxs-broker-property identifier="currency"]. The commission-free CFD accounts have a spread of 1.3 pips, which is slightly wider than other brokers, but traders can choose to trade in smaller trade sizes, known as micro-lots. The ECN and Prime Accounts have spreads that start at [fxs-broker-property identifier="eur_usd_spread_smallest_account"] pips (EUR/USD) but commissions of only 4 USD and 2 USD, respectively - some of the lowest in the industry. RoboForex also stands out for the number of financial instruments on offer, including over 12,000 stocks, 1,000 ETFs, 100 commodities, 40 Forex pairs, 26 cryptocurrencies, and indices. Support is offered for numerous trading platforms, including industry favourites such as MT4, MT5, and cTrader in addition to its intuitive and easy-to-set up R-trader.  In conjunction with third-party provider, Claws and Horns, RoboForex's educational and market analysis materials are well-organized and in-depth, a real benefit to beginner traders.  One drawback is that although RoboForex is an international broker, it is only regulated by the IFSC in Belize, which means that regulatory oversight is weaker than other brokers. Additionally, traders should be aware that RoboForex charges high withdrawal fees.
