Varianse Broker

anyone know this broker?
http://varianse.com/index.html

I have small account with them testing out my EA which has had little to no slippage so far, im running a beeks vps from LD5 and the ping has been impressive around 0.2 milliseconds for anyone interested. Their FCA regulation is positive, if all is good will fund an ecn account this week and post my feedback.

I knew who they were.

the same broker.
lol.

Any update on your experience? I have opened an account but waiting for some feedback before I deposit..

Yes so far so good, I am on the ecnpro and funded last week - no problems with depositing and tested a withdrawal which was swift. Their customer service has been one of the best I have dealt with and most emails being answered in minutes. These guys seem clued up and when drilling down with my questions on their setup and liquidity I got intelligent answers.

Here is a bit of info I gathered:

- Trading servers are hosted in the beeks financial cloud in the London Equinix data center

- They sit on the same network as beeks so there is little to no latency when using a vps via the cross connects hence sub millisecond execution speeds

- LP's cross connected via a PrimeXM bridge to their servers

- Can route orders to different liquidity pools e.g for scalpers etc..

On the trading side spreads have been consistently tight eu hits 0 most of the time, and have been getting filled on 2 lot orders without being slipped - I did try a 10 lot order at one point during the european session and again no issue. I don't trade indices so cannot comment but spreads look decent dax/ftse/estoxx at 1 point.

I have not scraped enough for a prime account but the low down here is that they can provide you with trade tickets showing which bank filled your trade - something I haven't seen any other UK broker offer. This is definitely a pro for STP transparency!

They will offer rebates and discounts depending on the volume you trade and on referrals, I am happy with the deal I got

Registered for a demo.

It is now more than 30 minutes and still no confirmation email.

Downloading the platform also failed 4 times. It downloads an exe setup file , BUT i cannot do much with that...

??

Loading the platform has been ok for me.. thanks for the review Jake was helpful

You're right about the customer service they seem very promising. I had accounts with atom8 and Lmax but have had too many issues with poor fills and/or slippage... so i'm hoping Varianse will top my list of UK brokers. Im on the prime account and loading up audusd as I speak lol

Any updates on this broker is appreciated.

Currently testing an EA on a demo account with them, and all is going well. Will be opening a Live account in a month hopefully. I will update then. New member from Forex Peace Army.

Been very pleased with the attention and service, they have gone the extra mile to meet my requirements so cannot complain.

The platform has been stable, spreads have been tight and execution has been great. I am running a bespoke system consisting of 4 different strategies across 3 of their different feeds - I have been very demanding, but Varianse has lived up to the challenge of catering to my needs. Especially when it came to being able to handle one of my EU scalping robots which other brokers would label as 'toxic'.

Also to add, Deposits/Withdrawals are fast, having money back in my bank sometimes the same day.

I would like to recover this thread because I want to open account with this broker. Any update to the previous reviews? Anyone can share his experience?

It seems to be the place for breakout traders! Alot of guys have moved to this broker from IC markets. I have an ECNpro account and would recommend them purely based on trade execution, getting good fills and positive slippage. To me all that counts is profit and reputable regulation.

Also to mention customer support has been very rapid and would highly rate their market and technology knowledge - when I queried some trades I was sent a proper explanation with tick data from their LP and bridge execution reports

I can only say the best about Varianse so far, other than the ''obvious'': they are FCA regulated (based in London) and deposits are insured up to 50,000 GBP by FSCS.

Excellent spreads, superb execution speeds - by the way 4x better than of ICM - (yes, there is an ''EA'' to test brokers' execution speeds by the milliseconds...) and prompt, polite customer service.

The only areas to improve: more economic (less costly) deposit/withdrawal methods, smaller minimum deposits and larger leverage on ECNpro accounts.

Nevertheless, I received an IB link from someone before opening my account through which I was offered a lower minimum deposit limit ($2.5k instead of $5k) and higher leverage (1:400 instead of 1:200) than advertised for ECNpro accounts on their website. (I can share the IB link for free via PM.)

Hi MasterGuru, please provide me with your IB link for Varianse 1:400 leverage. Sorry I cannot seem to find out how to PM you direct...

Rgds.

Hi MasterGuru,
Could you, please, provide me with your IB Link for Varianse Broker with lower deposit %2,5k. Thanks.

First post..been researching for a good broker for ages now and I think I might have found it,

People who have used Varianse, are you still using them? How has the experience been?

Dose of his broker offer a Nikkei 225 index CFD? And if so what is the spread? Darwinex have 7 points, ICmarkets has 6 points... The tick on the futures ( mini Osaka Exchange ) is 5 points

It shows on their website they are UK regulated with a wide range of trading facilities. But I have no experience with them

Just an update to all,

So far so good for over 1 year with varianse, they are operating as a real boutique with well informed client support and fast replies.
Their strength is sourcing good quality liquidity with low execution times, customised LP pools and FIX API's - which will appeal i'm sure to certain traders.

Honestly speaking , didn’t find any extra wide range of trading facilities but their regulation FCA is a positive sign. I mostly prefer US and UK regulation than others.
