It copies another firm's identity or sits on a regulator's warning list, and it holds a valid FSA 1662 licence and 8 more.

Capped at 20 · Clone firm or regulator warning

We checked AVATRADE on 2026-10-22 across its regulation, company record, client terms, trading offer and service, and could verify 91% of its record. Its strongest valid licence is FSA 1662, with 8 more valid. The score was held at 20 because it copies another firm's identity or sits on a regulator's warning list. What would move the score: licence held by the onboarding entity, withdrawal rails, all-in eurusd cost. Our published investigation found it appears legitimate, with 20.2 years of track record. Its client terms carry moderate risk, with 4 critical clauses. Trading EURUSD costs about 0.8 pips all-in, spread and commission together.

What AVATRADE legally published, but does not want you to read

Wikilix contract reading ·

High contract risk

AvaTrade's German and French homepages promise unrestricted scalping and hedging, but its contract bans scalping and lets AvaTrade cancel hedging profits. Clause 24.11 lets AvaTrade reprice the closed trades of everyone copying the same signal. You get two business days to dispute a statement before it binds you. An idle account pays €300 in its first year.

Broker Summary

What Wikilix has recorded about AVATRADE: its history, the licences it holds, its trading conditions and its fees.

AvaTrade Broker Overview

AvaTrade is a forex and CFD broker that says it has operated since 2006 and runs its business through a group of licensed companies. Clients under its EU terms contract with AVA Trade EU Limited in Ireland, while the copyright line of its websites names Ava Trade Markets Ltd of the British Virgin Islands, the company that serves most clients outside the EU, Australia, Japan and the UAE. AvaTrade acts as counterparty to its clients' trades, offers MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 and its own WebTrader and AvaTrade App, charges no separate commission on its standard account and asks for a minimum first deposit of 100 in the account's base currency. Its help centre lists 25 countries and territories it does not accept clients from, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Belgium, New Zealand and Russia.

AvaTrade Regulation and License

WIKILIX found each licence below on the regulator's own register on 22 October 2026. Every licence belongs to one AvaTrade company and covers only that company's clients.

  • AVA Trade EU Limited: Central Bank of Ireland, reference C53877, an Investment Firm - MiFID authorised since 9 July 2009. This is the licence for EU clients.
  • AVA Capital Markets Australia Pty Ltd (ACN 143 340 907): Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), Australian financial services licence 406684, current since 9 November 2011, covering general advice, dealing and market making in derivatives and foreign exchange contracts for Australian clients.
  • Ava Trade Japan K.K.: registered with Japan's Financial Services Agency through the Kanto Local Finance Bureau as a Type I financial instruments business, No. 1662, since 30 September 2007, for Japanese clients.
  • Ava Trade Middle East Limited: Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), Financial Services Permission 190018, active since 6 February 2020 for Dealing in Investments as Principal (Matched) and Arranging Deals in Investments.
  • Ava Capital Markets (Pty) Ltd: South Africa's Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA), FSP 45984, authorised since 10 November 2015 as an intermediary only. It introduces South African clients to Ava Trade Markets Ltd, which holds their trades and funds.
  • Ava Trade Kenya Limited: Capital Markets Authority of Kenya, licence 262, as a non-dealing online foreign exchange broker that may not act as market maker.
  • Ava Trade Markets Ltd: British Virgin Islands Financial Services Commission, whose register lists the company as licensed for investment business. The register shows no licence number; SIBA/L/13/1049 is the number AvaTrade gives.
  • ATRADE LTD: Israel Securities Authority licence to operate a trading platform, listed as active with a status date of 30 October 2016, for clients of the group's Israeli brand ATRADE at atrade.co.il.
  • DT Direct Investment Hub Ltd: Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) licence 347/17, effective 11 December 2017, for reception and transmission of orders, portfolio management and investment advice. It covers the DupliTrade copy trading service, not AvaTrade's own CFD dealing.

Is AvaTrade Regulated?

Yes. AvaTrade's group companies hold nine licences, one per jurisdiction, and all nine were confirmed on the regulators' registers in October 2026. What that means for a client depends on the company that holds the account: EU clients fall under EU conduct and client money rules, Australian clients under ASIC rules with access to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority, and Ava Trade Japan K.K. says its client funds are held in trust with JSF Trust and Banking. Clients of Ava Trade Markets Ltd rely on offshore supervision in the British Virgin Islands with no meaningful investor compensation.

AvaTrade License C53877

Licence C53877 belongs to AVA Trade EU Limited, which trades as AvaTrade, and is recorded on the Central Bank of Ireland register under the European Union (Markets in Financial Instruments) Regulations 2017. The register lists executing client orders and dealing on own account as its services, with financial CFDs and derivatives on securities, currencies and commodities among its instruments, and shows no revocation date. It also lists 28 other countries served on a freedom of services basis, with Poland named again under freedom of establishment.

AVA Trade EU Limited and the AvaTrade Group

AVA Trade EU Limited is registered in Ireland under company number 460012 and was incorporated on 15 July 2008, according to its GLEIF LEI record (registration authority: the Companies Registration Office). Its registered office is at Dockline, Mayor Street Lower, IFSC, Dublin 1. AvaTrade's General Terms and Conditions dated 4 September 2026 name it as the contracting company for EU clients and also list Ava Trade Limited and ATrade Limited among the group's regulated companies without giving their jurisdictions. Accounts opened through the Canadian site are opened and held by Friedberg Direct, a division of Friedberg Mercantile Group Ltd. and a member of the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization (CIRO) and the Canadian Investor Protection Fund (CIPF), while applicants from the United Kingdom are referred to the partner Intertrader.

Is AvaTrade Safe?

AvaTrade's licences are on record with their regulators, but the safety of an account depends on the company that holds it and on terms that give the broker wide discretion. Under its EU terms dated 4 September 2026, AvaTrade can void trades and revoke profits it links to price latency or feed errors (clause 23.1.3), cancel trades or profits where it suspects hedging across accounts (23.1.4), and cancel any profit or loss without giving a reason where it suspects a breach of its market abuse rules (23.2.4). Its homepage says hedging is allowed, without restrictions on short selling and scalping, while clause 23.1.2 says AvaTrade does not recognise scalping as a permitted practice on its OTC products. Statements become binding unless the client objects within two business days (18.6).

Retail clients have negative balance protection on forex, CFDs and options (clause 16.9), which the professional trading page says professional clients give up, and futures losses can exceed the deposit. The EU site warns that 65% of retail investor accounts lose money trading CFDs with AvaTrade. Regulatory records also show a business improvement order issued by Japan's FSA to Ava Trade Japan K.K. on 14 May 2024, an ADGM penalty notice dated 9 June 2022 against Ava Trade Middle East Limited for tax-reporting (CRS) breaches, and fines imposed on ATRADE by the Israel Securities Authority in 2017 and 2019. Several national regulators have named Ava Trade Markets Ltd as unlicensed in their countries.

AvaTrade Account Types

New clients open the Retail Trading Account, with a minimum first deposit of 100 in the base currency: USD, EUR, AUD for Australian clients, or GBP, which the funding page reserves for UK clients even though the help centre lists the United Kingdom among the countries AvaTrade does not accept. The help centre recommends starting with 1,000 to 2,000. Clients who meet two of three tests (about 10 significant trades per quarter over the last four quarters, at least a year in a relevant financial-sector role, or a portfolio above 500,000 EUR) can apply for the Professional Trading Account, available on MT5 only. The Islamic Account removes the overnight fee for up to 5 days per position, with wider forex spreads, and excludes MT4 crypto trading and ZAR, TRY, RUB and MXN pairs. Its page says the account carries no special fees, yet also that forex swaps on MT4 and MT5 become daily administration fees.

AvaTrade Spreads, Commissions and Fees

AvaTrade lists no separate trading commission and says it earns through the bid/ask spread, although clause 17.5 of its EU terms allows a commission where a client is on a specific fee structure. The terms also let it widen spreads at its discretion, with or without notice (clause 17.3), charge wider spreads to clients referred by an affiliate or introducing broker and pass the difference to that referrer (17.4), and keep any favourable price move before it accepts a limit order (24.8). Positions held overnight pay an overnight premium. An account unused for 3 months is charged 50 USD, EUR or GBP, and again for every further 3 months, and an administration fee of 100 applies after 12 months without use. AvaTrade publishes no deposit or withdrawal fee of its own and covers bank fees on wire withdrawals up to 100 USD, EUR or GBP.

AvaTrade Leverage

Retail clients of AVA Trade EU Limited can trade at up to 30:1 on major currency pairs, 20:1 on other pairs, gold and major indices, 10:1 on other commodities and indices, 5:1 on shares and 2:1 on cryptocurrencies. Professional clients can reach 400:1 on forex and 25:1 on certain cryptocurrencies. The broker's Mac trading page advertises up to 400:1 on MT4 without saying that this level is for professional clients only.

AvaTrade Trading Platforms

AvaTrade offers MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 on desktop, web and mobile, alongside its own WebTrader and AvaTrade App, which add AI-based insights, Trading Central signals and the AvaProtect feature. AvaOptions is a separate platform for vanilla FX options. For copy trading the broker offers the AvaSocial app, built with Pelican Trading, and DupliTrade, which needs at least 2,000 USD on MT4 or 500 USD on MT5. Clause 24.11 of the EU terms lets AvaTrade treat trades placed by clients using the same signal, expert advisor or copy trading service as a single trade and adjust their spreads and balances, including on past transactions.

AvaTrade Deposits and Withdrawals

AvaTrade accepts cards (except from clients in Canada) and bank wire, plus e-payments such as Skrill, Neteller and WebMoney for clients outside the EU and Australia; its help centre also names PayPal in some countries and Boleto and Qiwi where PayPal is not offered. Card deposits are credited instantly and e-payments within 24 hours, while the broker's pages give wire deposit times of up to 5, 7 or 10 business days. Withdrawals from verified accounts are processed within 24 to 48 hours according to the funding page, or within one business day according to the help centre, then take up to 5 business days to reach a card, a day to reach an e-wallet and up to 10 business days by wire. Clause 42.1.2 of the EU terms sets no deadline and says withdrawals may take longer than expected, and card deposits are returned to the card first.

AvaTrade Support

Support is available by live chat, phone (37 regional numbers on the contact page), WhatsApp and a help centre ticket form, and the only email address the broker publishes is complaints@avatrade.com. The help centre gives Client Services hours of Monday to Friday, 05:00 to 21:00 GMT for the English desk and 06:00 to 15:00 GMT for seven other languages, while the contact page is titled Contact Your Broker 24/5. Formal complaints go on AvaTrade's Complaint Form, and clients of AVA Trade EU Limited can take unresolved complaints to Ireland's Financial Services and Pensions Ombudsman.

AvaTrade Pros and Cons

  • Pro: licences in nine jurisdictions, each found on the regulator's own register in October 2026, including the Central Bank of Ireland, ASIC and Japan's FSA.
  • Pro: a wide platform choice, from MT4 and MT5 to its own app, FX options and two copy trading services.
  • Pro: no separate commission on the standard account and a 100 minimum first deposit.
  • Con: the EU terms let AvaTrade cancel profits at its discretion, in some cases without giving a reason, and contradict the homepage on scalping and hedging.
  • Con: statements become binding after two business days, and the terms set no deadline for withdrawals.
  • Con: many clients outside the EU, Australia, Japan and the UAE deal with an offshore company in the British Virgin Islands.
  • Con: an inactivity fee every 3 months once an account has been unused for 3 months, plus an administration fee after 12 months.
  • Con: clients from the United States, the United Kingdom and 23 other countries and territories are not accepted.

AvaTrade Review and Assessment

AvaTrade pairs a group of companies licensed in nine jurisdictions with a broad platform line-up, spread-only pricing on its standard account and a low entry deposit. Before funding, confirm which AvaTrade company will hold the account, since protection ranges from the Central Bank of Ireland's rules to offshore supervision in the British Virgin Islands. Also read the EU terms on cancelled profits, two-day statement objections and withdrawal timing.

How we know — 13 sources
  1. 1Refused countries: AvaTrade's help centre article on accepting traders worldwide (https://support.avatrade.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017588538-Does-AvaTrade-accept-traders-worldwide, last edited 2026-09-14) reads 'Unfortunately, AvaTrade does not accept client from these below countries at present:' and lists Belgium, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, USA, New Zealand, Russia, Belarus, Lebanon, Yemen, Isle of Man, United Kingdom, Jersey, Guernsey, Afghanistan, Algeria, Iraq, Palestinian territory, India, Somalia, Libya, Myanmar, South Sudan and Sudan.
  2. 2The account registration form on https://www.avatrade.com/ offers a closed country list, served by https://services.avaapiweb.com/api/CountriesCurrencies/GetRegistrationCountries_NewCRM?versionId=20241&lang=en&whiteLabelName=Avatrade (read 2026-10-22). It leaves out 21 of the 25 countries above, so the form and the help centre agree on those: Afghanistan, Belgium, Belarus, Cuba, Algeria, Guernsey, Iraq, Iran, North Korea, Lebanon, Libya, Myanmar, New Zealand, the Palestinian territory, Russia, Sudan, Somalia, South Sudan, Syria, the United States and Yemen.
  3. 3United States, in addition: the help centre article 'Do you accept deposits from US Citizens?' (https://support.avatrade.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001759792-Do-you-accept-deposits-from-US-Citizens) reads 'AvaTrade is not regulated in the USA. Therefore, we are unable to accept clients residing in the United States at this time. Additionally, we do not accept any funds that originate from within the US.'
  4. 4The United Kingdom, the Isle of Man and Jersey are confirmed refusals, although the registration country list still offers them: the form's own registration code is built to send registrants from the United Kingdom, Jersey and the Isle of Man to a 'Notification for UK Users' reading 'We noticed that you're from the UK. To continue, please register with Intertrader, our trusted UK partner (Licence No. 597312).' AvaTrade itself does not open the account, which matches the help centre list. Older help centre answers that offer GBP accounts to UK clients (edited 2023) are superseded by the 2026 list.
  5. 5India is listed as probably refused, not confirmed: the help centre list (edited 2026-09-14) names India as not accepted, while the registration country list still offers India with no special handling. The two disagree, so India stays off the accepted list until confirmed. An older help centre answer accepting Indian PAN cards as ID (edited 2021) predates the list.
  6. 6Gibraltar is a likely but unconfirmed refusal: Gibraltar is offered in the registration country list and is named in no published text, but the form's registration code routes Gibraltar together with the United Kingdom, Jersey and the Isle of Man to the UK partner notice. The refusal is inferred from the form, not stated.
  7. 7American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, the US Minor Outlying Islands and the US Virgin Islands are dependent territories of the United States, which the help centre names. They are not named themselves, and none of them is offered in the registration country list.
  8. 8The UK and New Zealand blocks are not extended beyond the countries named: Anguilla, Bermuda, the British Indian Ocean Territory, the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, the Falkland Islands, Montserrat, Pitcairn, Saint Helena, South Georgia, the Turks and Caicos Islands and Tokelau, and the Cook Islands and Niue (in free association with New Zealand), are all offered in the registration country list, so they count as accepted.
  9. 9Accepted: every country the registration country list offers (218 entries), minus the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man, Jersey, India and Gibraltar, and minus two entries with no standard country code. That makes 211 in all.
  10. 10In neither list: the registration country list also offers 'Antilles, Netherlands', a territory that no longer exists, and 'Kosovo', which has no official standard country code.
  11. 11Not written to any list: Canada, Israel and Japan are not offered by the avatrade.com registration form; the site's own language versions point those markets to separate sites (avatrade.ca and fr.avatrade.ca, atrade.co.il, avatrade.co.jp) whose sign-up was not reviewed. Saint Barthelemy, Saint Martin and Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba are also not offered and are named nowhere.
  12. 12The published terms name no country: the General Terms and Conditions of Ava Trade EU Limited (https://origin.avatrades.net/legal-docs/eu/terms-and-conditions/en.pdf, dated 04.09.2026), clause 37.4, says access 'may be restricted in certain jurisdictions', and the Terms of Use (https://origin.avatrades.net/legal-docs/terms-of-use/en.pdf, dated 14.09.2026) say 'Our service is available only where it is legal in your residence country.'
  13. 13Iran: a confirmed refusal on the help centre list, and not offered by the registration form. The site has no Persian version.

Credit Cards and Debit CardsCredit Card
Deposit and withdrawal by credit or debit card. Funding page (https://www.avatrade.com/about-avatrade/avatrade-withdrawals-deposits): cards are offered to clients worldwide except Canada. Deposits are credited instantly; a first card deposit may take up to 1 business day for security verification. Withdrawal requests are processed within 24-48 hours once the account is verified (funding page) or within 1 business day (help centre), then can take up to 5 business days to reach the card (https://support.avatrade.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001784191). The stored time is that 5-business-day arrival figure. Withdrawals first return up to 100% of card deposits to the card; only the balance can go by another method in the client's own name (funding page, 'What withdrawal methods are available at AvaTrade?'; T&C 42.1.3). Minimum first deposit to open an account by card: USD 100, EUR 100, GBP 100 (UK clients only) or AUD 100 (Australian clients only) (funding page; https://support.avatrade.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001760672). AvaTrade publishes no card fee of its own; T&C 42.1.4 (EU General Terms & Conditions, 04.09.2026) says that with a non-USD base currency the card may be debited slightly different sums because of exchange rates and card companies' fees. A colour copy of both sides of the card is needed for verification; European cards use 3D Secure; clients from European countries must verify their account before depositing (help centre).

Wire TransferWire Transfer
International bank wire (SWIFT). Deposit time: up to 10 business days depending on the bank and country (funding page, 'I made a wire transfer today, but the funds are not yet reflecting in my account'; help centre https://support.avatrade.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001784231), but the funding page's 'How long does it take to deposit funds with AvaTrade?' answer says up to 7 business days and help centre article https://support.avatrade.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001783631 says up to 5 business days. Sending a copy of the SWIFT or the transfer receipt speeds up tracking. Withdrawal requests are processed within 24-48 hours (funding page) or within 1 business day (help centre); wire withdrawals can take up to 10 business days to arrive (funding page; https://support.avatrade.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001784191, which also lists 'E-wire' at up to 3 days without describing it). The stored time is the 10-business-day figure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about AVATRADE

Most Popular Questions

Yes for retail clients, on forex, CFDs and options. Clause 16.9 of AvaTrade's EU terms says losses on those products can never exceed the account's equity, while futures trading can lose more than the amount deposited. AvaTrade's professional trading page says clients who take professional status give up negative balance protection, although clause 16.9 itself makes no distinction between retail and professional clients.

Two business days. Under clause 18.6 of AvaTrade's EU terms, order confirmations and account statements posted online become correct, conclusive and binding unless the client objects within two business days of posting, and clause 18.3 treats them as received once they are made available, whether or not the client opens them. An objection can first be raised by email or phone but must then be confirmed in writing (clause 18.7).

AvaTrade's own pages disagree. Its homepage says hedging is allowed, without any restrictions on short selling and scalping, while clause 23.1.2 of its EU terms says AvaTrade does not recognise arbitrage or scalping as a permitted practice on its OTC products, where clients trade directly with it as market maker. Clause 23.1.4 lets it cancel trades or profits where it suspects hedging across accounts held with AvaTrade or other brokers, and clause 23.2.4 lets it cancel any profit or loss without giving a reason where it suspects a breach of its market abuse rules.

WIKILIX found nine AvaTrade group licences on the regulators' own registers on 22 October 2026: the Central Bank of Ireland (AVA Trade EU Limited, C53877), ASIC (AVA Capital Markets Australia Pty Ltd, 406684), Japan's Financial Services Agency (Ava Trade Japan K.K., No. 1662), the ADGM Financial Services Regulatory Authority (Ava Trade Middle East Limited, 190018), South Africa's FSCA (Ava Capital Markets (Pty) Ltd, 45984), Kenya's Capital Markets Authority (Ava Trade Kenya Limited, 262), the Israel Securities Authority (ATRADE LTD), CySEC (DT Direct Investment Hub Ltd, 347/17) and the British Virgin Islands Financial Services Commission (Ava Trade Markets Ltd). Several are narrow: the South African and Kenyan companies are intermediaries that do not deal with clients themselves, the CySEC licence covers only DupliTrade, and the BVI register lists Ava Trade Markets Ltd without printing the number SIBA/L/13/1049 that AvaTrade gives. The protection a client gets depends on the company that holds the account.

AvaTrade offers CFDs on forex, shares, commodities, stock indices and cryptocurrencies, with 53 forex pairs and 22 cryptocurrencies in its range. FX options are traded separately on the AvaOptions platform, on more than 40 currency pairs and gold according to the platform page, or over 50 pairs plus gold and silver according to the help centre.

AvaTrade asks clients to contact customer services first and then to send a formal complaint on its Complaint Form to complaints@avatrade.com. Under clause 15 of its EU terms it sends written updates at least every 20 business days and aims to resolve a complaint within 40 business days, after which clients of AVA Trade EU Ltd can take it to the Financial Services and Pensions Ombudsman in Ireland.

Yes. AvaTrade offers AvaSocial, a copy trading app for iOS and Android that its site says is built with Pelican Trading, and DupliTrade, which needs at least 2,000 USD on an MT4 account or 500 USD on MT5. DupliTrade is run by group company DT Direct Investment Hub Ltd, whose CySEC licence 347/17 WIKILIX found on the CySEC register on 22 October 2026; it covers reception and transmission of orders, portfolio management and investment advice, not AvaTrade's own CFD dealing. Clause 24.11 of AvaTrade's EU terms lets it treat trades placed by clients using the same signal, expert advisor or copy trading service as a single trade and adjust their spreads and account balances, including on past transactions.

Yes. AvaTrade's demo account comes with a virtual balance of 10,000 in USD, EUR or GBP. The broker describes its length in two ways: its trading platforms page calls it an unlimited demo with no time limit, while a help centre article gives a 60-day duration that can be extended on request.

Yes. AvaTrade's Islamic Account can be requested once the account is verified and funded and is usually processed within 1 to 2 business days. Positions can stay open for up to 5 days without the overnight fee and may be charged after that, forex spreads are wider, and MT4 crypto trading and ZAR, TRY, RUB and MXN pairs are not available on it. The broker's Islamic page says the account carries no special fees or interest, yet also says MT4 and MT5 forex swaps are converted into daily administration fees.

AvaTrade lists no separate trading commission and says it is paid through the bid/ask spread, although clause 17.5 of its EU terms allows a commission under a specific fee structure. The same terms let it widen spreads at its discretion, with or without notice (clause 17.3), and charge wider spreads to clients referred by an affiliate or introducing broker, passing the difference to that referrer (clause 17.4). Positions held overnight pay an overnight premium, and an account unused for 3 months is charged 50 USD, EUR or GBP, again for every further 3 months, plus an administration fee of 100 after 12 months without use (clause 40). AvaTrade publishes no deposit or withdrawal fee of its own and covers bank fees on wire withdrawals up to 100 USD, EUR or GBP.

AvaTrade processes withdrawal requests from fully verified accounts within 24 to 48 hours according to its funding page, or within one business day according to its help centre. After processing, the money can take up to 5 business days to reach a card, up to 1 day to reach an e-wallet and up to 10 business days by bank wire. These are not contractual deadlines: clause 42.1.2 of AvaTrade's EU terms says withdrawals may take longer than expected, and clause 42.1.1 makes any documents AvaTrade requests a condition of paying out. Card deposits are returned to the card first.

AvaTrade accepts credit and debit cards (not for clients in Canada) and international bank wire, plus e-payments such as Skrill, Neteller and WebMoney for clients outside the EU and Australia; its help centre also names PayPal for some countries, and Boleto and Qiwi where PayPal is not offered. The minimum first deposit is 100 in the account's base currency. Card deposits are credited instantly, though a first card deposit can take up to one business day, and e-payments within 24 hours, while the broker's pages give wire deposit times of up to 5, 7 or 10 business days.

It depends on where the client lives. Clients under AvaTrade's EU terms contract with AVA Trade EU Limited. Its GLEIF LEI record (registration authority: Ireland's Companies Registration Office) shows it as company 460012, incorporated on 15 July 2008, with its registered office at Dockline, Mayor Street Lower, IFSC, Dublin 1. Most clients outside the EU, Australia, Japan and the UAE deal with Ava Trade Markets Ltd in the British Virgin Islands, other group companies serve Australia, Japan, Abu Dhabi, South Africa, Kenya and Israel, and Canadian accounts are opened and held by Friedberg Direct.

Yes. AvaTrade's help centre lists 25 countries and territories it does not accept clients from, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Belgium, New Zealand, Russia, India, Iran and North Korea, and applicants from the United Kingdom are referred to a UK partner, Intertrader. The avatrade.com sign-up form does not offer Canada, Israel or Japan, which have their own sites, and accounts on the Canadian site avatrade.ca are opened with Friedberg Direct, a division of Friedberg Mercantile Group Ltd. that the site says the AvaTrade Group does not own or control.

AvaTrade can be reached by live chat, by phone on 37 regional numbers listed on its contact page, by WhatsApp on +44 7520 644093 and through the ticket form in its help centre. The help centre gives Client Services hours of Monday to Friday, 05:00 to 21:00 GMT on the English desk and 06:00 to 15:00 GMT for native speakers of Spanish, French, Italian, Arabic, Russian, Portuguese and German, while the contact page is titled Contact Your Broker 24/5. The only email address the broker publishes is complaints@avatrade.com.

For retail clients of AvaTrade's EU company, leverage is capped at 30:1 on major currency pairs, 20:1 on other pairs, gold and major indices, 10:1 on other commodities and indices, 5:1 on shares and 2:1 on cryptocurrencies. Clients accepted as professional, on MT5 only, can trade at up to 400:1 on forex and 25:1 on certain cryptocurrencies, without negative balance protection. The broker's Mac trading page quotes up to 400:1 on MT4 without saying that this applies only to professional clients.

The minimum first deposit is 100 in the account's base currency: 100 USD, 100 EUR, 100 AUD for Australian clients, or 100 GBP, which the funding page reserves for UK clients although the help centre lists the United Kingdom among the countries AvaTrade does not accept. The same minimum applies by card, bank wire or e-wallet, and the help centre recommends starting with 1,000 to 2,000. DupliTrade copy trading needs more: at least 2,000 USD on MT4 or 500 USD on MT5.

AvaTrade offers MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 on desktop, web and mobile, plus its own WebTrader and AvaTrade App. It also runs AvaOptions for FX options and two copy trading services, the AvaSocial app and DupliTrade. Professional client status is only available on MT5 accounts.

Yes. AVA Trade EU Limited is entered on the Central Bank of Ireland register under reference C53877 as an Investment Firm - MiFID, authorised since 9 July 2009. The register showed no revocation date on 22 October 2026. The authorisation covers executing client orders and dealing on own account, with CFDs and other derivatives among its instruments, and the register shows the firm serving 28 other countries cross-border. It applies to the Irish company only: AvaTrade clients outside the EU usually deal with other group companies under other regulators.
