Vantage vs Spreadex 2023

Vantage has a trust score of 90, giving it a "Highly Trusted" trust label. Here's what each trust score label means:

• "Highly Trusted" (90-99) - These brokers are considered the most trustworthy firms in the industry. Simply put, we would not hesitate to open and fund an account with a Highly Trusted broker.
• "Trusted" (80-89) - These brokers are reliable and trustworthy. "Trusted" firms are a solid choice, and may simply hold fewer regulatory licences or feature different corporate structures than those brokers that have earned our top Trust Score rating.
• "Average Risk" (70-79) - Average Risk brokers are firms we generally consider to be safe, but that may warrant a closer inspection before you open and fund a live trading account. At the least, we always encourage traders to check the regulatory licenses for Average Risk firms to verify that they are regulated in their own country of residence.
• "High Risk" (60-69) - High-risk firms should be scrutinized and carefully reviewed before opening an account. These forex brokers are – in most cases – operating without credible regulatory licensing, and likely have a history of legal or financial issues. Before considering an account with a high-risk firm, we recommend checking our country guides for your country of residence to see if a more trusted broker is available.
• "Do Not Trust" (<59) - We do not recommend opening an account of any kind with a broker that earns a “Do Not Trust” rating.

Spreadex has a trust score of 71, giving it a "Average Risk" trust label.

Vantage is a trusted brand that holds licenses in multiple Tier-1 jurisdictions, boosting its overall Trust Score. Traders at Vantage gain access to a growing range of markets alongside a proprietary trading app (the Vantage app) and an excellent MetaTrader offering. Vantage offers the full MetaTrader platform suite (including MetaTrader 5), and supports full integration with TradingView and Smart Trader add-ons.

That said, the broker's educational content and market research materials can't compete with what's offered by the best forex brokers.

Spreadex is best known for pioneering sports betting, but it also caters to financial trading through its FCA-regulated entity in the U.K. Spreadex offers its proprietary Spreadex Trading platform as well as a growing selection of markets; that said, fans of third-party platforms like MetaTrader and cTrader will be disappointed to find that Spreadex does not support any third-party platforms. Spreadex can't compete with the best forex brokers in certain key categories, such as education and research, and its lack of additional Tier-1 regulatory licenses weighs down its overall Trust Score rating.

Tier-1 regulators go above and beyond by requiring additional capital requirements, checking in on brokers more frequently, and putting brokers through a tougher screening process.
