Start copying Gizmo, one step at a time

Gizmo is copied through V Social, Vantage's copy-trading service, so you need a live (not demo) MT5 account with Vantage.

Not sure? Search your inbox for an email from Vantage with an MT5 account number, password and server. If you have one, choose Yes.

Make sure it's a live MT5 account. Your MT5 login details are in an email from Vantage.

Have you already put money into this Vantage account?

The 150% bonus is for a first deposit, so if you've already deposited it may not apply to you. Vantage also offers 25% on additional deposits; if you're adding more money, opt in first (see Step 2e). Vantage decides who qualifies.

Until you've verified your ID (next part), Vantage limits how much you can deposit.

1. Click your profile icon (top right), then Verification, then Identity verification.

2. Follow the steps on your phone: photo ID, then a quick face check.
3. Then do Residency Address Verification with your proof of address.
4. When you're done, you should see 3 green "Verified" ticks.

• Photo ID: for example your passport or driving licence. Make sure it's in date.
• Proof of address: for example a recent utility bill or bank statement with your name and address on it.

Face scan tips

• Find good, even light and face towards it.
• Take off glasses and any hat.
• Hold your phone at eye level and keep still.
• If it fails on a computer webcam, use your phone instead.
• If it doesn't work first time, just try again. Retrying is normal.
