Reviews on AvaTrade?

Hey everyone, I am considering AvaTrade to jumpstart my forex trading adventure. Is anyone here using them currently?

I would love to hear about their spreads, how easy it is to fund my account, and most importantly, how long it typically takes to withdraw money.

Right now I’m comparing AvaTrade to FxPro and IC Markets, so any insights would be greatly appreciated!

After diving into reviews about AvaTrade, I’ve gathered a mix of opinions that paint a broad picture of the platform. Many users appreciate AvaTrade for its diverse range of trading options, including forex, stocks, and cryptocurrencies, which allows for a lot of flexibility in trading strategies. The platform is also praised for its user-friendly interface and the availability of popular trading tools like MetaTrader 4 and 5, making it accessible for both beginners and experienced traders. However, I’ve noticed some recurring complaints, particularly regarding withdrawal issues. Several users reported difficulties in accessing their funds, citing delays and even fees for inactivity, which left them frustrated. While some reviews highlight AvaTrade’s strong regulatory standing and overall safety, others caution that customer service can be slow to respond, especially on weekends. Overall, it seems that while AvaTrade has a solid reputation and offers valuable resources for traders, potential users should be aware of the mixed experiences regarding fund withdrawals and support responsiveness.

I haven’t utilized AvaTrade, and I don’t see anything particularly noteworthy about them.

To be honest, I haven’t used Avatrade, therefore I can’t comment much on it. Since offshore brokers provide tighter spreads, lower commissions, and greater leverage, I think their services are superior and that’s why I choose to utilize them. For now, Turnkey Forex is being used. They have quite good spreads (majors average 0.3-0.4 pip), $2 charges per 100k, and round turn. Regarding withdrawals, they are often credited within 48 hours, and there haven’t been any significant problems in a while.

I think you should consider other options too.

AvaTrade is a highly reputable trading platform with a strong trust rating. It’s privately owned and doesn’t operate as a bank.
