Compare AvaTrade Platforms

Forex trading has evolved dramatically in the last 15 years. The formerly restrictive barriers have been broken down, so that it is no longer just reserved for the high net worth or institutional traders. Nowadays you can trade online from the comfort of your own home. You need only have a small starting deposit and access to the internet and you can trade freely. In order to get access directly to CFD trading, you will need to use a trading platform. Good brokers will give you a selection of trading platforms as your gateway to the capital markets. Often, as with AvaTrade you will be given a Web based platform, a desktop (download) version and a mobile trader too. A good Forex broker will also furnish you with a selection of trading tools and educational resources.

Trading platforms give you the ability to open BUY and SELL positions on a variety of different assets. A good platform will give you access to advanced charting. Charting facilities will allow you to follow the markets in real-time and sometimes will give you historical data too. You will be able to add studies and indicators too in order to detect trends, reversals, patterns and hopefully entry and exit points and even generate signals. The purpose of all of these tools is so that you may incorporate trading strategies into your everyday trading. When looking for a platform the following points are the most important when choosing a platform to work with:

  • Accuracy of data
  • Competitive spread
  • Speed of execution
  • User-friendliness
  • Customizability
  • Built-in or installable analysis tools

It may be wise to test out a platform before you use it for trading live. To that end, we have given our traders the opportunity to open a demo account. That will allow you to test drive all platforms first and see which you gel with. A trader really only can be as good as the tools he uses. That’s why it is important to work with a platform that has very little downtime, which executes trades very quickly and is simple enough to use.

About Trading Platforms

In essence, a trading platform is software that links the trader to the broker and also to the relevant markets. Our platforms offer live trading charts, real-time price quotes, and order types that are executed by us, your broker. At AvaTrade you have several options:

  1. Using trading software that can be downloaded to your local computer and used directly by you. This software is compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems.
  2. The other type is the web based trading software that is run on Java (a popular web language). Highly favoured and accessible from any place that has an internet facility.
  3. Trade with the simple and innovative AvaTradeGO mobile trading app for download on both iOS and Android. The award-winning app features unique technology with advanced touch capabilities to allow you to efficiently trade your preferred global financial assets from the comfort of your mobile device. The app enables you to stay on top of global market news and events via real-time live feeds and social trends. You can also control your risks using the AvaProtect™ risk management tool as well as enhance your trade analysis using Trading Central.
  4. Implement a copy trading strategy in the market using the exclusive AvaSocial trading app that is also compatible with both Android and iOS.
