    What is a standard account in forex trading?

    The Forex Standard Account is a versatile trading platform designed with lower minimum deposit and spread prerequisites. In this account type, the trading expense, known as the spread, encompasses the market maker's premium without additional commissions on trading volume.

    As one of the most favoured account types offered by numerous Forex brokers, Standard Accounts afford traders a diverse selection of platforms and services tailored to their unique needs. Whether trading is pursued as a leisure activity or a professional venture, a Forex Standard Account serves as an ideal entry point into the dynamic world of currency trading.

    What is a STP Forex Broker?

    Vantage utilises the Straight Through Processing (STP) technology model, which eliminates the need for a dealing desk. All orders are seamlessly channelled to the broker's liquidity providers, ensuring price execution at the bid/ask rates that these providers stipulate. In this context, liquidity providers constitute hedge funds, large banks, and investors, who essentially serve as counterparties for every trade.

    Typically, an STP broker maintains an internal pool of liquidity, represented by various competing liquidity providers. These providers strive to offer the best bid/ask spreads for the broker's orders, bolstering the effectiveness and efficiency of the STP model.

    What does STP mean in trading?

    STP stands for Straight Through Processing. All client’s positions are processed to the market directly without going through a dealing desk.

  • 5

    What is the difference between a RAW ECN account and a Standard STP account?

    We offer two types of accounts: Standard STP account and our most popular, Raw ECN account. There is no commission charged* on the Standard STP account but instead, there is a markup on the spreads above the Interbank rate received from our pricing providers.

    Our Raw ECN account shows the raw spreads received from our pricing providers. On this account, there is a commission charge applicable for USD$6 per standard lot round turn.

    You can compare the difference among our various trading account types by using the table at our Compare Forex trading via CFDs accounts page here.

    *Commission-free pricing excludes selected stock and ETF CFD products.

  • 6

    Do I have to pay any commissions on a Standard STP Account?

    No, you do not have to pay any commissions on a Standard STP Account with Vantage. This account type is designed to be a commission-free trading platform, providing traders with a transparent and straightforward trading experience. Instead of commissions, the trading costs are included in the spreads, which have a small markup above the inter-bank rates received from our pricing providers.

    The Standard STP Account is ideal for traders who prefer a simpler cost structure while still benefiting from the fast execution and direct market access that STP trading offers.

    At Vantage, we aim to provide a trading environment that supports your strategy and helps you to navigate the markets with confidence and clarity.
