Vantage Elite Trader
The prop program of the broker Vantage Markets — launched August 2024 and shut down 30 November 2024, roughly three months later, with the brand reverting to brokerage-only.
This row spent a fortnight uncited because the programme's own page answered 403, and a refusal is a fact about our access rather than about the firm. Read again on 31 July and on 3 August it does not answer 403 any more — it answers 404, four days apart. For a row whose whole charge is that the programme was shut down, the product's own address having ceased to exist is not a gap in our reading; it is the closest thing to the event itself that a reader can check from outside. It is recorded as a dead link and not as a quotation, because there is nothing there to quote — which is precisely the finding.
Crossed one of the seven hard bars. Open the row and it names which one, with the mechanism spelled out. This is not a low grade — no quantity of virtue elsewhere buys it off, which is why it carries no rank at all.
Disqualified for
The firm has closed
It stopped operating, and the date is on the row. Kept in the register rather than deleted so that somebody searching the name lands on when it closed instead of on an archived sales page. This is not a judgement of how it treated traders while it ran — several of these paid out to the end and shut down when a platform licence was withdrawn.

We read its rules and scored it, but did not price every plan it sells individually.
