VT Markets: international accounts, PRO ECN eligibility, pricing and payment rules

VT Markets’ international account menu includes Standard STP, RAW ECN and a conditional PRO ECN upgrade. This profile follows the Mauritius product issuer, VT Markets Limited. Its South African company acts as an intermediary, while the Cyprus company facilitates services such as payments.[1][2][18]

The RAW ECN round-turn charge covers both opening and closing a full lot. The same general commission article assigns a separate USD 2-per-lot round-turn charge to commodities and zero index commission for Standard and RAW accounts. Product names matter: oil is grouped with FX and metals in that article, rather than with its separately charged commodities category.[5]

The upgrade requires either five closed trades and at least USD 500,000 notional volume, or a balance above USD 10,000 and at least one closed trade, within a consecutive 30-day period in the previous 90 days. It is offered in selected markets to eligible CPA clients and direct clients under a sales representative. Hybrid affiliates and clients linked to introducing brokers are excluded. Approval is required, and losing eligibility can return the account to RAW ECN.[2]

Swap-free Standard and RAW variants list AUD, USD, GBP, EUR and CAD. Their page describes unlimited fee-free holding for major FX pairs, while some other instruments become subject to administration fees after a grace period. The Mauritius legal summary describes those administration fees as liquidity-provider charges plus approximately 10% internal processing. The exemption therefore depends on the specific symbol and arrangement.[4][7]

The MT5 Cent account has STP and ECN variants denominated in US cents. Its specification table sets USD 50, or 5,000 USC, as the deposit minimum and USD 40, or 4,000 USC, as the withdrawal minimum; eligible products are FX, gold, silver and oil. The same page’s introductory USD 10 claim conflicts with that table. Currency-specific funding guidance also gives 5,000 USC as the standard Cent deposit minimum.[3][8]

The site offers currency, index, metal, energy, soft-commodity, share, ETF, bond and synthetic-index CFDs. This is derivative access, and share fees do not follow the FX lot commission. The support schedule gives the following market-specific rates.[18][6]

The Mauritius Key Facts Summary instead says US share CFDs typically attract USD 6 per transaction and gives Australian shares at 0.08%, minimum AUD 8 per transaction. The US difference is unresolved in the public material, so zero commission is presented as the support-page claim, not a universal contractual rate. Its overnight and dividend adjustments are additional cost components.[7][6]

Dormant accounts may be archived after 90 days without login or trading when balances are USD 5 equivalent or less on MT4, or USD 1 equivalent or less on MT5. MT5 Cent has a shorter five-day rule when there is no trading, deposit or withdrawal activity, balance is at most 100 USC and credit is no more than zero. Those are account-archiving conditions, not a stated recurring inactivity charge.[16]

The STP/ECN help article quotes a fixed 20% stop-out level. The December 2025 Mauritius agreement instead permits liquidation at 50% or below, starting with the largest losing position. These sources conflict: 20% is not a universal contractual promise. Confirm the accepted entity terms and actual account threshold.[21][20]

The first bank-wire withdrawal in a month has no handling fee; further wires incur the equivalent of USD 20 each. The withdrawal guide also identifies Skrill’s 1% and Neteller’s 2% processing charges, distinguishing provider and intermediary deductions from broker charges. Funds are returned through the original deposit channel until the deposited amount has been repaid.[9][11]

Mauritius negative-balance relief is discretionary for Private Clients after a market-gap loss in normal trading. Section 11 excludes abnormal markets, force majeure, non-trading charges and agreement breaches; VT may offset other account balances first. It is not an unconditional guarantee that all losses are limited to one account’s deposit.[20]

Support is advertised 24/7 through live chat and [email protected]. MT4, MT5, the portal and the mobile app use server time GMT+2, moving to GMT+3 during daylight saving time. That timestamp convention is separate from each instrument’s trading session and bank processing calendar.[14][15]

The Mauritius agreement directs formal complaints to [email protected]; routine VTrade interface questions use [email protected] or online support. Written termination does not extinguish prior trades or outstanding obligations. The agreement does not specify a numerical final complaint-response deadline in this clause.[20][22]

The VPS offer requires a USD 1,000 minimum deposit and at least USD 500,000 in eligible closed-trade notional volume during the VPS billing period. The terms cap reimbursement at USD 25 for USD 500,000–999,999 and USD 50 from USD 1 million. PAMM/MAM master accounts are excluded. The client uploads an eligible invoice, and the stated review period is the first ten days of the calendar month after the billing period ends. The refund cannot exceed the invoice paid.[13]

VT Markets dates its business to 2015. VT Markets Limited lists Suite 201, Level 2, The Catalyst, 40 Silicon Avenue, Ebene, Mauritius. The current company disclosure places the South African intermediary at Norwich Place West, 2nd Floor, corner of 5th and Norwich, Sandown, Sandton, Gauteng 2031.[17][18]

The same regulation page describes a Dubai branch of VT Markets Pty Ltd with CMA licence 20200000299 under Category 5 for introduction and promotion. It states that this branch does not provide brokerage or execution services. That company-published branch role is separate from the Mauritius derivatives issuer and South African intermediary.[18]
