A market maker with nine licenses and nearly twenty years of operation. Your money goes to segregated accounts at Barclays, apart from company funds. EUR/USD costs roughly 0.9 pips in spread with no commission on top.
The lineup includes MT4, MT5, AvaTradeGO, WebTrader, AvaOptions, and copy trading through DupliTrade and ZuluTrade. Having six options is generous but most people default to MT4 or MT5.
Available markets include forex, CFDs, commodities, cryptocurrencies, and vanilla options. Strong forex execution. CFDs are a different story — most retail traders don't come out ahead.
Standard accounts are commission-free with a check here $100 minimum deposit. AvaTrade earns on spreads and overnight swaps. Swap costs suit position traders. Scalpers should look elsewhere.
Individual positions can be insured through AvaProtect. The fee shows before you confirm.
The demo runs indefinitely, which beats the thirty-day limit most brokers set. Education includes video courses, weekly market webinars, and daily briefings.
Major pair leverage: 1:30 EU, up to 1:400 internationally. Fee-free withdrawals within 24 hours. Customer support backed by real offices worldwide.
If you hold trades, are still learning, trade options, or copy others — AvaTrade has tools for each. Not the right broker for scalpers or those who avoid market makers.
Risk is part of trading. You can lose more than you put in. History doesn't predict the future. Only use money you can afford to lose.
