Solid execution and smooth onboarding, spreads vary at busy hours

I’m Youssef from Dubai and I’ve been trading mostly EUR/USD and XAU/USD with Vantage on a Standard account for the last 6 months. Account opening and verification were straightforward and I was able to get set up without back-and-forth. Execution has felt reliable for my style (mostly intraday, a few swing trades). During normal market hours the pricing is competitive, but I do notice spreads widen more than I’d like around major news releases and the first minutes of the session open. That’s not a deal-breaker, but it does change my risk/reward if I’m trying to enter right at the spike. Deposits have been quick on my end and everything shows up in the balance without confusion. Withdrawals have gone through, but one of mine took longer than expected compared to my bank’s usual timing, so I don’t rate it perfect. Support was responsive when I asked about a platform setting and trading hours for a couple of instruments. The agent answered clearly and didn’t push me into anything. Overall I’d keep it in my rotation: dependable platform experience, just be mindful of spread behavior during high-volatility moments.
