FAQ
Straight answers.
Is VIP really free?
Yes. You pay us nothing for VIP. The only condition is opening an account with Vantage through our partner link.
How do you earn?
Vantage pays us a commission for referred active clients. You pay only the broker's normal trading costs. We are an independent introducer, and the commission does not change your trading costs.
Who holds my money?
Only the broker, in your own account in your name. Yanis and the company never accept, hold or manage client money.
Can you withdraw my funds?
No. We have no access to your broker account. Only you can deposit or withdraw.
What if I lose?
Losses are part of trading. 39 of 148 signals in the record hit the stop. Use a stop on every trade and risk 1–2% per trade.
How much do I need to start?
VIP starts from a $300 deposit. With small balances, even the minimum lot (0.01) can be more than 1–2% risk per trade: check it with the position-size calculator in the Risk lab.
Do the results include costs?
No. The record shows published signal results in points, before spreads, commissions, swaps and slippage. The Results page has a cost slider so you can subtract your own costs.
Why only three months?
Markets change regime, so older results say little about current behaviour. The default view is the last three complete months; older months move to an archive.
Why do the open and closed channels differ?
The VIP channel carries every signal. The public channel shows part of the trading, so its totals are lower. This record is the VIP channel.
Can I see the software code?
No. The software is developed by our broker partners and covered by a non-disclosure agreement. Instead we show the full record, the rules and the maths behind it.
Is this financial advice?
No. Nothing on this site is financial advice. It is a record of our own published signals and our experience. You decide whether to follow them.
Are signals automated, or do I trade manually?
Signals are generated by machine-learning software developed by our broker partners; the details are under a non-disclosure agreement. Yanis posts them in the channel, and you place the trades yourself in your own account. The software does not trade anyone's account.
How much time per day does it take?
Usually 3 to 5 signals a day, mostly on 15-minute to 1-hour charts, so you do not need to watch the screen all day. Keep your phone close for the entry and the management updates.
What is a point, a pip and a lot?
A point is the smallest price step (0.01 on gold, 0.00001 on most FX pairs). On FX, 10 points = 1 pip. A lot is the position size: 1.00 lot of gold is 100 ounces, so 1 point ≈ $1. Points are distance, not money.
What happened in your worst month?
In August 18 of 56 signals hit the stop. Profit factor fell from 5.87 in July to 3.27 in September. All of it is on the Results page.
What is the minimum deposit at Vantage?
Vantage sets its own minimum deposit, which can differ by account type and country. Check the current conditions when you open the account. For VIP we ask for at least $300.
