Our notes
Strengths
- Licensed by strict regulators in Ireland, Australia and Japan, plus the ADGM's FSRA, Kenya's CMA and South Africa's FSCA
- Spreads on EUR/USD from 0.9 pips with no separate commission on the global site
- A wide range of platforms, including MetaTrader, AvaOptions and copy-trading tools
- UK company authorised by the FCA and EU company licensed by CySEC, both strict regulators
- Client money held in segregated accounts, with negative balance protection for all clients
- Raw+ account costs about $9.60 per lot on EUR/USD, against about $14.90 on Standard
Watch out for
- Clients of the global site join Ava Trade Markets Ltd, which holds only an offshore licence from the BVI FSC, and South African clients also trade with that company
- Inactivity fee of $50 after just 3 months without use, plus a $100 annual administration fee after 12 months
- No minimum deposit is published as a fixed figure; AvaTrade says it depends on your base currency and payment method
- We did not find negative balance protection stated for the BVI company; EU and Australian retail rules require it for those companies
- Clients outside the UK and EU usually join the Bahamas company, with lighter rules and no FSCS or ICF cover
- Leverage at the Bahamas company is dynamic with no fixed cap on major pairs, which magnifies losses
- Live accounts are disabled after 3 months of inactivity

Risk warnings
The buttons to a broker’s website above the table are partner links: we may earn a commission if you open an account through them. That never changes the facts shown here. Trading leveraged products such as forex and CFDs carries a high risk of losing money rapidly, and most retail accounts lose money. Each broker’s own warning:
- AvaTrade: CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.
- FxPro: CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Please ensure you fully understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.

Cost per lot is the typical EUR/USD spread in busy hours × $10, plus any round-turn commission, for one standard lot. “Not yet checked” means we have not confirmed that fact yet. This page compares facts; it does not rank the brokers or recommend either. Confirm costs and licences on each broker’s site and the regulator’s public register before opening an account: see how we review brokers and check a broker yourself.
