Vatee provides an MT4 account for forex and CFDs on metals, oil, natural gas, global indices and cryptocurrencies. Standard, Zero and Pro are its current account plans, with promotions and trading-points benefits attached to selected plans. This profile covers the international service of Vatee Pty Limited in Vanuatu, as identified by vateefx.com and its February 2026 client agreement, checked on 19 October 2026.[1][2][11]

Accounts and eligibility
Sections ↑Current account plans
| Plan | Published positioning | Benefits and pricing boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | Spread-based account; product tables show zero service fees | The account page says Standard clients can participate in company promotions. Swaps, payment charges and other contractual costs remain separate.Source 2Source 3Source 11 |
| Zero | Quotes described as close to raw liquidity-provider pricing | The current account page does not supply an exact per-lot commission, minimum deposit or complete numerical tariff for this plan.Source 2 |
| Pro | Lower, relatively stable spreads advertised | Provides access to platform activities and points-mall rewards. Pro is an account name, not proof of regulatory professional-client status.Source 2Source 11 |
Account activation follows verification. Individuals supply government photo identification and address evidence dated within three months. Corporate applicants supply incorporation and beneficial-owner information. Vatee also asks about experience, source of funds and intended trading purpose, and can refresh documents after the account is opened.[13]
The minimum age is 18. The restricted-jurisdictions policy covers residence, citizenship and location in listed places, including the United States, Canada, Russia, Ukraine and Iran. The regulation page additionally excludes Australian residents. Eligibility is therefore broader than a simple country-of-address check.[11][15][16]
Markets and contract exposure
Sections ↑Documented market range
| Market | Examples | Contract detail |
|---|---|---|
| Major and cross-currency FX | EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, EURGBP and AUDJPY | The published forex table gives a 100,000-unit contract size; this is a full-contract reference, not a stated minimum order size.Source 3 |
| Precious metals | Gold, silver, platinum and palladium; several non-USD gold/silver quotes | Published size is 100 for gold/platinum/palladium and 1,000 for silver. The page does not label the physical unit beside every size.Source 4 |
| Energy | US crude oil, Brent and natural gas | XTIUSD and XBRUSD have published size 1,000; XNGUSD 10,000. These are CFD exposures.Source 5 |
| Equity indices | US30, US100, US500, DE40, JP225, UK100, HK50 and A50 | Current index table publishes maximum leverage 1:100; individual trading sessions differ.Source 6Source 9 |
| Crypto CFDs | Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, XRP, DOT and DOG | BTCUSD and ETHUSD contracts represent one underlying unit. Crypto trading is advertised as 24/5, with no wallet required.Source 7 |
The risk disclosure describes non-deliverable spot CFDs and an execution-only service. The contracts provide price exposure; they do not create ownership of the referenced currency, commodity, index constituents or crypto tokens. The general risk document also mentions shares, but the current public product menu does not establish a usable individual-share instrument list.[12][1][7]
Spreads, financing and other charges
Sections ↑Vatee publishes product tables labelled as Standard average spreads, but their numerical units and observation periods are not identified. Some pages contain a second table with different figures. These values should not be silently converted into pips, compared across asset classes or treated as a verified completed-trade cost.[3][4][5][6]
Examples of the published pricing ambiguity
| Instrument | Displayed Standard spread figures | What can be established |
|---|---|---|
| EURUSD | 16 in the major-forex tables | The service-fee column is zero; spread is variable and the platform quote prevails.Source 3 |
| Gold | XAUUSD: 38 in one table; XAU/USD: 0.23 in another | Both tables use an average-spread label without reconciling their units or different figures.Source 4 |
| Oil | XTIUSD: 37; WTI: 47 in the separate commodity tables | These differently labelled entries do not establish one current all-in WTI tariff.Source 5 |
| US equity indices | US500: 99; SP500: 2 in the separate index tables | Instrument symbols and quotation basis must be matched to the actual trading account.Source 6 |
The agreement separately permits overnight financing, commissions, transfer charges, inactivity or maintenance charges, and third-party service/data costs. Its inactivity reference supplies no fixed amount or trigger. A zero service-fee cell therefore does not establish cost-free overnight holding or an account without maintenance costs.[11][3]
Payment use can also change the charge. Under agreement §7.3, deposits and withdrawals with limited or non-genuine trading may attract charges of up to 3% of the relevant payment. The company uses approximately one standard XAUUSD lot per USD 1,000 deposited, or equivalent exposure, as a discretionary assessment benchmark. It is not a universal trading requirement or a recommendation to trade to obtain a withdrawal.[11]
Platform, orders and margin controls
Sections ↑MT4 access and execution
| Feature | Current published operation | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Supported devices | Windows, macOS, iOS and Android download routes | The page describes MT4; it does not establish another proprietary execution platform.Source 10 |
| Order distance | No minimum stop/order distance and a freeze level of zero are advertised | An order placed close to the market is still subject to price movement, liquidity and execution rules.Source 10Source 11 |
| Order controls | Market, limit, stop, stop-loss and take-profit orders; unexecuted orders can be submitted for cancellation or modification | Cancellation is a request, and the agreement does not guarantee it will complete before execution.Source 11 |
| Scalping and automation | MT4 marketing promotes scalping and high-frequency trading | Agreement §10.3 separately restricts latency exploitation, manipulative automation and positions judged disproportionate to equity/risk capacity.Source 10Source 11 |
Indicative leverage reductions in the agreement
| Basis | Published examples | How they operate |
|---|---|---|
| Account equity | 30,000+: 1:400; 50,000+: 1:200; 100,000+: 1:100; 200,000+: 1:50; 300,000+: 1:25; 500,000+: 1:20 | The source does not label the monetary currency of these thresholds. They are illustrative limits, not guaranteed entitlements.Source 11 |
| Used margin | 20,000–100,000: 1:100; 100,001+: 1:50 | A separate control from account equity; the company can apply changes automatically or manually.Source 11 |
| After a reduction | Restoration depends on no open positions, risk conditions and company assessment | Prior leverage is not automatically restored; reductions can increase required margin and trigger liquidation without notice.Source 11 |
Vatee’s published schedules include daily breaks and earlier Friday forex closing. Metals and oil have different opening windows, while A50 has two sessions separated by a break. The page does not identify a single UTC offset for its table, and schedules can change for holidays or daylight saving. Use the selected symbol’s current platform session before placing an order near a closure.[9]
Executed-order confirmations are supplied through the trading platform or by email. Clients must review them and report discrepancies promptly. The contract maintains account records but does not promise a particular CSV export or local tax form; tax obligations and any legally required withholding remain separate.[11]
Funding and withdrawals
Sections ↑Money movement through the account
| Stage | Published procedure | Important limit |
|---|---|---|
| Available routes | Account page lists Visa, Mastercard, UnionPay, USDT, PayID, WeChat Pay, wire transfer and AliPay | The accepted method is subject to the client account and provider; a displayed logo does not establish every country’s access.Source 2Source 11 |
| Deposit credit | Money is credited after it is cleared and identified | Transfer-system delays and missing references can delay usable trading funds.Source 11 |
| Payment ownership | Funding and withdrawal accounts must match the trading-account holder | Third-party payments are prohibited under the current regulation and service pages.Source 16Source 1 |
| Withdrawal eligibility | Available funds after open-position margin, completed verification and an accepted own-name method | The agreement permits holds or refusal for suspected fraud, financial crime or contractual breach.Source 11Source 13 |
| Charges | Service page says no additional deposit/withdrawal fee, while external banking costs remain possible | The specific up-to-3% payment-activity provision in the agreement remains a material exception.Source 1Source 11 |
The account page says multiple basic currencies are accepted but does not provide a definitive current account-currency menu or conversion markup. The agreement permits currency conversion to meet margin or default obligations. Payment currency, trading-account denomination and the quote currency of a CFD should be confirmed separately.[2][11]
Client money and account security
Sections ↑The agreement describes a segregated bank account that may pool several clients’ money. Interest can be retained by Vatee, funds may be used to meet the client’s trading obligations, and banking arrangements can be outside Vanuatu. The agreement excludes responsibility for the bank or custodian’s solvency. Segregation alone does not create a stated insurance payout.[11]
Negative-balance protection is expressly discretionary. It may not cover every case or account type and can be withdrawn for abusive trading or breaches. The risk disclosure warns that losses may exceed the initial investment. This route therefore does not establish an unconditional retail loss cap.[11][12]
Clients must protect credentials and authentication codes and report suspected compromise immediately. The privacy policy describes encrypted transmission, access controls and monitoring; it does not identify a client-facing MFA method or a fixed withdrawal hold after password recovery. Onboarding and ongoing identity checks can independently prevent activation or transactions.[11][14][13]
Support, emergency instructions and complaints
Sections ↑Verified contact routes
Scope Regulator information channel; escalation prerequisites apply
The agreement allows platform orders and other methods specifically permitted by Vatee, including written instructions. It does not designate a publicly verified telephone dealing line or promise that general support can close a position during an outage. Arrange an accepted alternative instruction route before relying on it.[11][18]
Complaint handling clocks
| Stage | Published requirement |
|---|---|
| Broker acknowledgement | Complaint policy: no later than five business days; acknowledgement includes a case reference, contact and process outline.Source 17 |
| Final broker response | Agreement aims for 28 days; separate complaint policy aims for 30 calendar days and allows a notified extension. The two published clocks differ.Source 11Source 17 |
| Regulator escalation | Currently linked VFSC guidance asks clients to attempt resolution with the dealer three times before escalation, with identity, investment/payment, withdrawal and communication evidence.Source 22 |
The VFSC guidance describes supervisory action involving the licensee and its registered agent; it does not promise an individual compensation award. The agreement’s governing law and court jurisdiction are Vanuatu, with arbitration possible by agreement.[22][11]
Research, points and partner services
Sections ↑Vatee advertises market analysis, reports and online/offline seminars. Its agreement defines the service as execution-only and excludes personal advice or discretionary trading. Staff commentary should therefore be read as general information rather than a managed mandate.[1][12][11]
Published additional services
| Service | What the source establishes | Cash or authority distinction |
|---|---|---|
| Pro points benefits | Account page links Pro to the points mall; partner page describes earning transaction points and exchanging them for products | Points and merchandise benefits are not established as immediately withdrawable trading cash.Source 2Source 19 |
| Introducing brokers | Marketing tools, client-management support and commissions described as credited when referred clients close positions | This is a partner remuneration programme; the page does not establish a universal retail commission rebate.Source 19 |
Company and operating route
Sections ↑Identity and service scope
| Item | Current evidence |
|---|---|
| Registered office | C/- SFAI Barrett & Partners Vanuatu, first floor, B&P House, Kumul Highway, Port Vila.Source 18Source 11 |
| Business address | Unit 24, Tradewinds Villas, Seaside, Captain Cook Avenue, Port Vila.Source 18 |
| Australian group company | The current legal footer describes Vatee Markets Pty Ltd as an Australian wholesale provider and expressly separates its authorisations from vateefx.com services.Source 1Source 12 |
The company’s own timeline begins with a trading team in 2013 and describes later expansion into quantitative research and online education. Its 2026 research direction includes AI analysis, strategy research, behavioural recognition and risk management; it does not establish a retail AI assistant authorized to place or close orders. That group history is distinct from the current Vanuatu licence entry. The February 2026 agreement names Vatee Pty Limited, even where some webpage titles retain the wording Vatee Global Pty Limited.[20][11][21]
