EUR/USD · USD account · one opening and closing trade. Both spreads start at an assumed 0.2 pips. Replace them with comparable quotes from the same trading session.
When does the USD 1 commission gap disappear?
At one standard lot, assumed spreads of 0.1 pips for FXTM and 0.2 for Vantage give USD 8 each, using the published commissions above. With equal 0.2-pip spreads, the illustration becomes USD 9 versus USD 8. These spreads are examples, not observed prices.
Difference under these inputs: $1.00. This excludes financing, slippage, currency conversion and other charges; it does not establish the cheaper broker overall.
Three differences to check before applying
Compare Advantage with RAW ECN
FXTM Advantage lists a USD 500 entry amount for a USD account. Vantage RAW ECN displays USD 50, but its FAQ describes that as a recommended minimum. Confirm the actual funding requirement; do not use a different account tier's headline amount.
Commission timing is not an extra fee
FXTM charges the full opening-and-closing forex commission when an MT4 trade opens, while MT5 splits it between entry and exit. Compare the complete USD 7 round turn with Vantage's USD 6, not one platform's opening debit alone.
Use a forex quote for a forex comparison
The calculator uses EUR/USD in a USD account. FXTM's metals and other products have different commission schedules. Use spreads from the same session; an advertised zero minimum is not an average or a promise about your trade.
Funding, platforms and source notes
FXTM
The Advantage account page lists 500 USD/EUR/GBP, 1,800 AED or 137,000 NGN, depending on account currency. Confirm the threshold for the account offered to you; another FXTM account's entry amount is not the Advantage minimum.
Advantage lists MT4 and MT5. The fee structure for forex is the same, but the timing of commission deductions differs. Do not substitute the separate Advantage Stocks account's terms.

Common questions
Which is cheaper, FXTM or Vantage Markets?
FXTM Advantage lists USD 7 round-turn forex commission; Vantage's international RAW ECN page lists USD 6. A 0.1-pip spread difference on one standard EUR/USD lot offsets that USD 1 gap. Compare the account tier, funding terms and company before applying.
Which accounts does the cost example compare?
FXTM: Advantage · MetaTrader · USD forex illustration. Vantage Markets: RAW ECN · USD forex account. This is a USD EUR/USD illustration. Published commissions are scoped to the linked account documents, and the starting spreads are assumptions. Other entities, platforms, account tiers and currencies may price differently.
Does the brand's regulation apply to my account?
The legal company on your agreement determines which regulatory rules apply. Match that company to the official register and check whether it accepts retail clients in your country. A brand-wide score or a licence held by another group company does not settle this.
Can I open an account through Clarytrade?
Clarytrade provides broker research and comparison tools. If you choose to apply, the broker handles your application, identity checks and acceptance. Some outbound links earn Clarytrade commission; others are research-only routes. Country availability and referral availability are separate checks.
