The first thing a smart investor needs to know is that the more regulation a broker holds, the better. AvaTrade has a regulatory licence across five continents and is in the process of expanding even further. is provides investors with added peace of mind, knowing that their hard-earned money is in the very best hands.

The second thing an investor needs to consider is how well established your preferred broker is. How many global offices it maintains? Is it a renowned brand? Unlike other brokers, AvaTrade is an established financial company that has been around for over 12 years and has a wide global presence.

Great platforms can often be the difference between seizing an opportunity and missing out.

AvaTrade believes in providing its clients with a variety of best-in-class platforms and innovative solutions to choose from. Such as the highly popular MT4 trading platform, the new MT5 trading platform, AvaTradeGO app, DupliTrade social trading system and the exclusive Vanilla Options app – AvaOptions. What most traders need is not only a powerful platform, but a variety of trading instruments. AvaTrade provides just that, everything from forex pairs, cryptocurrencies, commodities, indices, stocks and bonds to exchange-traded funds.

Clients can also engage in automated trading with API Trading, DupliTrade and ZuluTrade. In addition to that, AvaTrade is one of the few companies that offer “vanilla options”.

Another important factor is customer service. When you need help, you want to be assured that someone will be on the other end of the line. AvaTrade prides itself on putting the customer first. It provides customer service 24/5 and support in 14 languages.

As they say, knowledge is power, and AvaTrade provides plenty of that. The company’s clients can access a comprehensive collection of educational materials including videos, articles and tests from its very own trading academy – SharpTrader. In addition, they can also join weekly webinars and access AvaTrade’s eBooks.

This extensive range of advantages has caught the industry’s eye and this year – as in previous years – AvaTrade has been awarded “Best Broker and Best Affiliate Programme” by The European.

In short, AvaTrade is at the very forefront of financial innovation – where it intends to stay.
