AVATRADING OPTIONS has been flagged by Financial Conduct Authority for "Unregistered/Unlicensed entity offering financial products or services". This company appears in our regulatory warnings database. Always verify with official regulatory sources before investing or doing business with this firm.
I lost a significant amount because AVATRADING OPTIONS did not execute my stop loss during a flash crash. They said the market was illiquid. Other brokers managed to execute. I have no proof they did not trade against me. Avoid.
Pros: Quick verification|Good mobile app
Cons: Could offer more webinars|Help articles are sometimes vague
I wanted to transfer my portfolio from another broker to AVATRADING OPTIONS. They said they do not accept in-kind transfers for my asset type. I had to sell, withdraw, deposit, and rebuy - incurring taxes and spread costs. They did not tell me this before I signed up.
Pros: Responsive team|Market news feed|Full transparency|Comprehensive tools
Cons: Limited social trading features|Search feature is basic
Opened my account with AVATRADING OPTIONS after attending a webinar they hosted and regretted it within the first month. The platform crashed during a critical moment, I lost potential gains, and support basically told me it was not their problem. Absolutely unacceptable behavior.
Pros: Helpful community forum|Real-time alerts|Dividend tracking
Cons: Search feature is basic|Withdrawal takes 1-2 business days
After doing some research AFTER the fact (I know, I should have done this first), I discovered that AVATRADING OPTIONS is not authorized by any legitimate financial regulator. They are operating illegally. The website looks very professional but it's all a facade. Please check the regulatory warnings database before investing with ANY company.
Cons: Cannot withdraw funds|Not regulated|Pressure tactics
AVATRADING OPTIONS changed their fee structure with one month notice. What was a flat fee became a percentage. For my account size it meant a huge increase. When I objected they said I could leave. So I am leaving and writing this review.
Pros: Quick verification|Tax reports included|Regular updates|Fast support response
Cons: No phone support on weekends|Limited social trading features
