AvaTrade have been at the forefront in the world of Forex since they launched their online trading platform in 2006. The company was a joint effort by eCommerce, security and financial professionals who were determined to provide the perfect online trading experience for retail traders. The broker has grown rapidly since its formation in 2006 and currently have over twenty thousand registered customers. These traders place in excess of two million trades each month and generate a total trading volume that surpass $60 Billion per month.
AvaTrade is headquartered in Dublin, but are a truly international operation. They have offices and sales teams located in Paris, Dublin, Milan, Tokyo, Sydney and New York. They offer 24-hour multilingual support services, multiple platforms and a wide range of trading instruments including Forex, Stocks, Commodities and Indices. AvaTrade continues to evolve, improve and offer its customers a fantastic trading experience.
Unfortunately, US based traders are not be permitted to use the Forex trading platforms at Avatrade. Traders from all other territories are welcome.
Avatrade is subject to stringent compliance requirements from a number of international regulatory bodies, as you’d expect from a broker that accepts traders from multiple territories.
AvaTrade works hard to appeal to the needs of a global trading community; providing platform options that cater for all traders irrespective experience, location or technical preference. To do this, they have strategically made their platform option list diverse and multi-functional.
Clients are not expected to simply know which platform is best suited to their trading style and requirements – AvaTrade offers a demo account to all new customers to assist with this decision. Traders should refer to the individual platform option information page before proceeding.
Live accounts include:
Islamic accounts are also available upon request. Restrictions apply.
As from November 2018, AvaTrade’s asset categories list includes a range of seven cryptocurrencies / alt currency options. These are Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, Ripple, Ethereum, Litecoin and EOS. Traders are able to trade these with up to 2:1 leverage on Retail Accounts and 20:1 on Professional Accounts (these are a high-volatility investment), on the MT4 platform only.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When signing up for an account with AvaTrade, new clients will be asked to volunteer information regarding their financial status, knowledge of trading, and other personal data. The broker will determine your eligibility for a live trading account based on this information. If opening an account is not in a client’s best interests, AvaTrade will attempt to dissuade them from continuing on the grounds of risk exposure, redirecting them to a demo account and disclaimer. Customers may choose to continue with the setup process if they wish, but TA does not encourage this.
Using the USD/EUR pair as an example, spreads vary according to the account type in question. Retail Account users will find that their spread ranges with a 1.30 pips average, whereas Professional Account holders will benefit from a tighter average of 0.9 pips. Overnight interest rates apply to open positions across all assets, and fluctuate according to product type and volatility. A list of upcoming CFD Futures Rollovers can be found broken into asset categories on the AvaTrade website.
Commission is included in all spread quotes.
AvaTrade claims that quality customer service is at the heart of their business. They offer guidance with regional contact numbers, an online educational suite and their multilingual live chat facility – which is in operation 24/5. Unfortunately, we didn’t feel that the agents we tested manning this feature were adequately equipped for a customer-facing role; we were greeted with ridged, scripted assistance in tentative English. Although we reached the answers sought eventually, our team felt that for the standard of service offered by AvaTrade (and with their years of experience) we expected a little better from them.
That being said, the Education resources found on the AvaTrade website was a rich library of trading video tutorials, downloadable eBooks, analysis guidelines and more. Trading assistance for beginners is clearly at the forefront of AvaTrade’s mission here, although professional traders may still turn to the books for a refresher course in FX basics. This section also includes a link to the Sharp Trader website where AvaTrade manages the bulk of its resources – including an economic calendar, news analysis, blog entries and advanced strategies. We recommend running a demo account to trial any lessons learnt here.
You may claim $125 to $10,000 in bonus funds at AvaTrade. This is dependent entirely on your initial deposit amount. The bonus funds are credited to your account instantly once your identification has been verified. Please make sure that you have the relevant identification documents at hand when registering your account to ensure a quick and effortless registration.
Once an account has been registered, clients will be directed to their dashboard cashier point where they will be advised to make their opening deposit.
Deposit
To begin live trading, a trader must fund their live account with at least 100 units (in USD, GBP, EUR, or AUD – depending on the base currency of their account). AvaTrade recommends an initial deposit of at least $1,000 if possible, as this is accompanied with direct one-on-one sessions with an account manager. Deposits can be made via wire transfer (bank options limited by region), Visa or Mastercard. Wire transfer deposits will need a minimum of $500. No fees will be charged for this service.
In order to verify your account for security purposes, all customers will be asked to submit a copy of their ID (passport or driving licence). Additional documents may also be required, and will be requested from you directly by an account manager. The verification process will take up to 10 working days to complete. Customers will not be able to withdraw any funds whilst this is pending.
Withdrawals
When cashing out, customers will have the same banking options as with deposits. Up to 200% of the amount of a trader’s initial deposit total will be returned to them through the same payment method used to fund their account. Further amounts can be withdrawn by alternative payment methods.
There are no fees involved in this process, however it may take up to 6 working days for wire and credit card transfers to complete.
Promotions and bonus offers are not advertised but are made available to customers from certain regions according to the broker’s discretion. The terms and conditions of such offers may restrict a trader’s rights to withdrawal.
Have a look at the extensive trading information on the AvaTrade website. Once you truly understand the flexibility and options on offer at this well-established broker, we recommend that traders devote some time to exploring the resources and information on offer at AvaTrade. Have a look at the Education area. AvaTrade offer extensive video tutorials, eBooks, webinars and many articles dedicated to helping make AvaTrade customers the best traders they can be. Traders of all levels will find everything you need to ensure a successful trading career.
AvaTrade has done their utmost to appeal to every style of trader presently exploring the markets. Their asset list and range of platforms are clearly designed to attract a wide demographic, including fully novice traders who may require inclusive guidance.
$100 is a fair opening deposit amount for live account launch, and is a reflection of the company’s awareness for risk management. Whilst some may feel that it is a little steep, it offers a trader the chance to protect themselves against the volatile products on offer through this broker. Similarly, we were impressed to see a lower average leverage option for standard account holders, who really needn’t be exposed to greater margin in the early stages of their online trading career. Yet experienced traders are not forgotten, and a carefully crafted Professional Account is available with a default leverage of 400:1 with added benefits.
Whilst AvaTrade lets itself down customer service, we’ve seen worse. We would like to see them make some improvements in this area.
