Vanquish Trader Reviews 65

Look, I don't think the people at Vanquish are bad. They seem to actually care. But that doesn't change the fact that using this platform has been one headache after another for me.

Let me start with DXTrader (the broker they use). If you're coming from other popular platforms, prepare to be disappointed. It feels bare bones. You can't automate anything, no macros, nothing. Everything has to be done by hand which just makes you slower than everyone else. A lot of settings and tools I'm used to having are simply not there.

Now the bugs. Oh man, the bugs. It's like clockwork, something new breaks every week. I've been randomly kicked out of sessions. I've had trades literally refuse to close, or trade simply disappear all of a sudden. These aren't edge cases, this is basic stuff that should just work. And the mobile app is like 10x worse.

And when things go wrong and you lose money because of their issues? Good luck getting that back. If their team can't reproduce the problem, they basically shrug and move on. No compensation, nothing. You just take the hit.

Best customer service out there, always on top of helping their clients, payouts are extremely quick got mine in under 20 minutes, they have always solved 100% of my issues.

I’ve used several firms and have taken multiple payouts across them. Vanquish Trader is easily the fastest and simplest to get started with.

I’ve been with them for 6 months now and have seen the site and support improve every month. The platform is getting more stable and the response times are getting quicker as they grow. At this point, I’m happy to recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable firm.

Been using vanquish for a while now, settled down on it after testing others like breakout etc. My main issue was that I wanted to trade options but couldn't find a suitable platform to do it on. Kept running into crazy high restrictions, most of which I failed. Thought vanquish would be the same, but was pleasantly surprised.

Been in a good profit atm, hope it continues.

Great customer service. Live chat has improved a lot. In the beginning early stages of the platform (year ago) you had your typical bugs here and there but have improved drastically.

This is a real review btw lol no bot stuff here. Ive been active in the vanquish chat community for awhile now and everyone helps each other out

I have always been skeptical about prop firms specially one that supports options trading. I was surprised with how active the community is and the responses to my questions have been reassuring.

After my initial research, I went ahead and got an account during one of the promos. The platform works as intended + they invest a lot on the education side.

The support is fairly prompt but I don't even need to go there because of how active the Discord is. I also see many have received payouts so I think the 1-2 line reviews here claiming otherwise are motivated.

They also have daily and weekly streams.

This company is a scam. I bought an account. I made one trade. I was in the profit the whole time, they shut me down, took my money and said that I reached the drawdown.

Fraud company and many reviews have been taken off so that people may not know about Fraud trading company. don't lose your money here

**Title:** Closed my Vanquish Trader account after payout issues + blocked from support/Discord

Final update on my situation with Vanquish Trader—sharing this so others can decide for themselves.

I’ve now **closed my account** after what’s been a very concerning experience.

---

### 📊 Background

I was a profitable trader on the platform:

* Received **2 successful payouts**
* Continued trading with **strong, consistent profits (not small gains)**
* Multiple high-profit trading days
* Met all payout requirements
* No rule violations

I then requested a **third payout**

👉 Status: **Still pending with no explanation**

---

### 🚨 What happened next

* Opened multiple support tickets
* Used live chat several times
* Was told repeatedly: “this will be escalated”
* Provided my account info multiple times

Then:

* A live agent joined… and stopped responding
* No explanation was ever given
* No timeline was provided

And now the most concerning part:

👉 I’ve been **blocked from their support/chat system and Discord**, so I can no longer even follow up on my payout.

---

### ⚠️ Why this is a problem

This isn’t just a delay.

It’s:

* Lack of transparency
* No communication
* No accountability
* And now loss of access to support

That makes it impossible to resolve the issue properly.

---

### 💭 My takeaway

Based on my experience:

Everything worked fine at first (I was paid twice),
But once I became consistently profitable and requested another payout… everything changed.

I’m not making accusations—just sharing exactly what happened.

---

### ❗ Final decision

I’ve decided to:

* Close my account
* Move on to other firms

There are too many options out there to deal with this level of uncertainty.

---

### 📌 Advice to other traders

* Be cautious, especially if you plan to withdraw consistently
* Don’t assume early payouts reflect long-term reliability
* Pay close attention to how support handles issues

---

If anything changes or gets resolved, I’ll update this post.

Just sharing my experience for transparency.

Was skeptical because of the reviews but I have had nothing but a good experience with them. On to my third payout!

Vanquish trader is great and support is always easy to access and they are very responsive. My first payout was smooth and I got 100% of the profits deposited to my bank with 48 hours of the request as they promised in their instructions and Faq's.
I strongly recommend this company for options trading

The platform has bugs every single week. The support tries to be helpful but I think they are overwhelmed. Simple things sometimes don't work like closing a trade, being logged out randomly for no reason. The spreads are very bad so that means you start from a red position all the time especially if you like using spreads. The support team sometimes simply stop responding, then you have to hunt admins on their Discord and ask them to look at tickets, many times that also leads nowhere. Sometimes they can't reproduce your issue and as such you are left with the loss (that was not your fault basically) and no compensation is done for you. The DXTrader platform is made for manual trading (no macros) as such you will be slow to act. It doesn't have a lot of basic options and configurations that popular platforms have (such as TradeStation or Interactive Brokers). All in all the team looks good but it's a constant fight with bugs, trading is frustrating, you fight with bugs all the time and with the support and with the platform.

I successfully passed the evaluation and followed all rules during the funded phase with no violations.

I requested a $7,000 payout on March 30, 2026. It is still showing as pending with no updates or communication.

I attempted to contact support multiple times through their chat, which appears to be AI-driven and does not resolve issues. I also reached out on Discord and was blocked instead of receiving assistance.

I canceled my account and requested a refund of $799.20. There has been no response, no confirmation, and no proof that the refund is being processed.

At this point, there has been a complete lack of transparency and communication. Based on my experience, I am still waiting on both my payout and my refund.

I would strongly recommend caution when using this platform.

I want to share a recent experience I had with Vanquish Trader, an options prop firm using the DXTrade simulator.

I have screenshots documenting everything and will attach them.

This post is long, but the timeline matters.

⸻

The Evaluation I Purchased

I purchased their Advanced Options Evaluation with these rules:

• Account size: $150,000
• Profit target: $15,000
• End-of-day drawdown: $7,500
• Consistency rule: 30%
• Minimum trading days: 4

Trading was done in their DXTrade simulated environment.

⸻

Strategy I Used

I traded SPX option spreads, which are extremely common in the options space.

These were multi-leg spreads opened and closed intraday.

Nothing exotic or unusual for SPX options traders.

⸻

Trading Results

The account performed as follows:

Day 1: +$7,440
Day 2: +$10,440
Day 3: +$7,440
Day 4: +$9,440
Day 5: +$9,440

Total profit: $51,640

The dashboard showed:

Withdrawable Amount: $51,640

All requirements were satisfied:

✔ Profit target hit
✔ Minimum trading days completed
✔ Consistency rule respected
✔ Drawdown rules followed

⸻

The Critical Timeline Detail

On Day 4, shortly before market close, I received the first email mentioning a potential “exploit” and bug bounty process.

This is important because:

• No warning was issued earlier
• No trades were flagged during the evaluation
• The system allowed all trades and fills normally

This message arrived the same day I would have requested the payout.

⸻

Payout Request Problem

When I attempted to request the payout, I received the message:

“Please check your email for Rise verification instructions.”

The issue is that my Rise account was already verified and linked.

For several days I tried to resolve this through their Discord support.

Instead of fixing the payout issue, the conversation shifted to reviewing my trades.

⸻

The Firm’s Explanation

Vanquish told me their risk system flagged the SPX spread trades and that they believe the profits were generated due to simulator order-fill behavior.

They described it as a known issue with SPX spreads in the simulator.

Again, this was never mentioned until Day 4 before market close.

⸻

Their Proposed Solution

Instead of processing the payout, they proposed that I:

• Work with their team to replicate the behavior
• Help document the issue as part of a bug bounty process
• Potentially transition the strategy to live trading

They also stated the following:

“If you are not willing to assist in documenting the exploit as part of a bug bounty process and transition to live trading for validation, we will not be able to permit you to open additional accounts or continue trading on our platform.”

So participation in their bug bounty process was effectively required moving forward.

⸻

My Response

I told them I was open to discussing the situation, but several things needed to be clarified first:
1. My payout request should remain separate from the strategy review
2. The bug bounty structure needed to be clearly defined
3. A mutual NDA would be required before discussing strategy details
4. A portion of the bounty should be paid upfront before strategy disclosure

These requests were simply to protect the intellectual property of the strategy.

⸻

Final Outcome

They stated that because the trades relied on simulator behavior they consider an exploit, they would not process payouts from those trades.

Instead they refunded the evaluation purchase and said I would not be allowed to open additional accounts on the platform.

⸻

My Main Concern

If a prop firm allows trading on a simulator that produces certain fills, traders assume those fills are valid.

Traders cannot control how a simulator matches orders.

If there are flaws in the simulation environment, that should be a platform integrity issue, not something raised after profits are generated.

Probably one the best and easy to use Prop Firms out there. Payouts, when done right can be fast but spontaneous throughout the day as they do it in batches.

Support is a little slow and can be unresponsive on the website. It could take days to reach account resolution. For more in the moment trading problems, discord answers are almost immediate.

I've had a payout schedule error since 3/24/2026 and still awaiting a solution.
Will provide an update on the situation when fixed.

Too expensive for the market of the prop firms, first of all $500 for $50K. Secondly, 30% consistency for option trading is suicidal even worse is drawdown/target profit which 1/2 ratio($2500/$5000) ,insane, compare with future prop firms 2/3 ($2000/$3000)with consistency of 40-50%. Look at these MATHS:
Profit target: 1/2 which you have to DOUBLE your drawdown . 200% . Other future props 2/3 which is 150%.
Costs: $50K account costs -$500= Vanq
$50K account costs- $70-100=Futures prop firms. So it means you can easily buy 5-8 futures accounts with way less PROFIT TARGET/ DARWDOWN ratio .

Don’t make trading life harder . Believe in your MATH. However, big shout out to Vanquish trader owners, bringing out OPTION TRADING to light from darkness. I’d recommend you guys these below:
Consistency bring up to 50-60%, drawdown/ profit target ratio 2/3 , 80/20 profit share. Maybe capped profit withdrawals.

Vanquish is an amazing company to utilize within the trading space! With their rules in order to pass an evaluation, it requires determination and proper risk management skills to succeed. I wanted to try a 50K stocks account as my first attempt. Luckily enough, I bought the account with a promotion of 1 free reset. After a couple days, my account was breached and I had to use my reset. I then thought to myself, what did I do wrong? Buying too many shares early, and managing risk were the 2 main factors that brought me down. Over the next few weeks, I was trying my absolute best to stick to correcting those 2 factors and I ended up passing the evaluation! Once I transitioned to the performance account, I quickly reached the buffer target while maintaining those 2 factors. However, the day after I reached the buffer target, I was hit with an email saying my account was closed due to a payment failure. (My CC had an issues processing the payment). The great support staff at Vanquish took care of this right away and my account was back up and running. A few days later, I requested my first payout of 550$! All I have to say is that if I can do it, anybody can. Keep going, you got this!

Horrible. Their platform is always glitching. Their customer support is trash. They never respond. And when they do, they never answer back. They come off as very scammy. I have seen multiple people complain of not getting payouts and losing accounts due to their platform malfunctioning.

App is beyond glitchy, non responsive customer service. My first week in and the limit button has frozen on infinite scroll effectively locking the user from placing an order, multiple times my limit orders get kicked when reaching their targets, platform conveniently crashes when in profit requiring a reboot - then loses your order history while the P&L is still running.

The commissions on fills - are utter garbage and slow compared to even basic PFOF fills. I took side by side trades today with Webull and despite Webull being PFOF and charging a fraction on fill fees; I was still filling faster and exiting faster than on Vanquish.

I’ll always give a platform esp a newer one, much leeway to support the underdog but this platform is trash. Until the infinite scroll and kicked orders are fixed this is unusable.
