Reader reviews
I opened a live ECN account,I deposited, traded and withdrawn without any problems. I was suspicious at first because i read some negative reviews, but on my personal experience VT Markets is a honest broker and have a solid regulator.

After opening a live ECN account, I deposited funds, traded, and withdrew money without encountering any issues. Initially, I had some reservations due to a few unfavorable reviews I came across. However, based on my own experience, I can confidently say that VT Markets is a trustworthy broker with a strong regulatory framework.
Account 9435210 Trading wise it sims good by for some reason they took "audit credit of $270 from my account and I also initiated a withdrawal of $500 and $70 but it showed on the system its completd but I didn't received it yet terrible customer support
Dec 23, 2024
Account 9435210 While the trading experience initially seemed promising, I encountered some issues that have left me frustrated. An "audit credit" of $270 was unexpectedly deducted from my account without explanation. Additionally, I initiated withdrawals of $500 and $70, which the system marked as completed, yet I have not received the funds. The customer support has been unresponsive, and it seems my emails are being blocked, preventing me from seeking help. If anyone from their team reads this, please reach out to address my concerns. Your assistance could influence my decision to remove this review. Also, there's a Telegram group promoting this platform and encouraging participation in a poorly managed copy trading scheme, which has resulted in significant losses. I plan to update with the group's name to warn others about this potential scam.
it's been 4 days over 6days including weekends my withrawal of 50k usc have not yet arrive in my acc. OMG. Am I getting scammed?
Dec 22, 2024
I've been waiting for my $50,000 USC withdrawal to appear in my account for a total of six days now, including the weekend, and it's still not there. I'm starting to worry if this is a scam.
