Audit Scorecard
Our Verdict
AvaTrade is assessed here on its regulatory licences, published trading costs, platform range and account terms. Its licences from CBI, ASIC, FSCA are the primary safeguard for client funds — check each licence number on the regulator's own register before depositing.
AvaTrade advertises execution of 42ms and offers AvaTradeGo. That execution figure is the broker's own published claim, not a speed we have measured — real fills vary with account type, session liquidity and news conditions.
