Vantage Markets
RAW ECN · MT4/MT5 · USD forex illustration
USD 6 round turn
USD 3 per standard forex lot per side, USD 6 to open and close. Standard STP is a separate spread-markup model. Add the actual spread, overnight charges and any other applicable fees; this is not a quote for every account, currency or product.

RAW ECN · MT4/MT5 · USD forex illustration
USD 6 round turn
The help articles specify USD 6 per standard forex lot for opening and closing. Standard STP forex pricing instead uses the spread without separate commission. Other products and account tiers have separate schedules; actual spreads and overnight charges remain additional costs.
VT Markets international account guide and global help articles name multiple group companies. The en-eu locale does not establish an EU-authorised retail account. Confirm your legal company and account terms; no country-to-company assignment is inferred from these sources.

Three differences to check before applying
Compare RAW ECN with RAW ECN
Both examples use USD forex accounts with USD 6 round-turn commission. Equal commission does not mean equal total cost: different spreads or overnight charges can change the result. Standard STP uses a separate spread-based pricing model; do not substitute its quote or a premium tier's commission.
Resolve the funding figure before depositing
Vantage's FAQ describes USD 50 as suggested initial funding, permits a zero-balance account and sets USD 50 for subsequent deposits. VT Markets' RAW ECN guide lists USD 50, while its account table lists USD 100. These are conflicting published figures, not a confirmed range. Check your account, currency and payment method.
Match the company to the account quote
The Vantage source concerns its international service, separate from its UK website. VT Markets' en-eu URL does not establish an EU retail account. Both sites name multiple companies; the public schedules do not identify the company on your agreement or confirm your country eligibility.
Funding, platforms and source notes
Vantage Markets
The RAW ECN page displays USD 50, but its FAQ describes that as suggested initial funding and permits an account with no balance. Subsequent deposits have a USD 50 minimum. Confirm the current payment-method and company requirements before funding.
The source lists MT4 and MT5. Its USD forex rate is not a universal platform or product schedule. No exact fractional-lot rounding rule was established; proportional calculator amounts are illustrations rather than confirmed small-trade debits.

VT Markets
Sources read on 7 November disagree: the RAW ECN guide lists USD 50, while the account table lists USD 100. The guide says funding can vary by regional entity and account currency, but does not resolve this difference. Confirm the requirement for your offered account and payment method; these figures are not a published range.
The account-model help article lists MT4 and MT5. Match the platform, symbol and base currency to your quote; no exact fractional-lot rounding rule was established. Scaled calculator outputs are proportional illustrations, not confirmed terminal debits.

With equal assumed 0.2-pip EUR/USD spreads, each illustration totals USD 8 before overnight and other charges. Compare actual spreads from the same session, then confirm the funding requirement and company for your account.
Which accounts does the cost example compare?
Vantage Markets: RAW ECN · MT4/MT5 · USD forex illustration. VT Markets: RAW ECN · MT4/MT5 · USD forex illustration. This is a USD EUR/USD illustration.

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?
