Exness cons
- The minimum for Pro, Raw Spread and Zero ranges from $200 to $3,000 depending on region
- The public accounts page asked us to sign in before showing conditions; the figures here come from their help centre
- Which entity serves you decides your leverage cap and protection; the offshore entities carry the higher leverage
Vantage pros
- A $50 raw-spread account is unusual; most brokers ask $100 to $200 for that pricing
- The international site states clearly that it is not the FCA-regulated UK business, rather than blurring the two
- Cayman and Australian entities are named with their registration numbers
Vantage cons
- The international entities are in the Cayman Islands and Vanuatu; the FCA and ASIC protections belong to other Vantage companies
- Standard STP and Pro ECN pricing was not on the page we read
- Leverage caps differ sharply by entity and were not stated on this page
