AvaTrade's 3 Star Reviews (Average)
Now we dive into the not so good opinions. Real users say about AvaTrade:
Simon Houlton: “Avatrade have a decent platform. I used mt4. I found the spreads a bit high and because of this traded xauusd exclusively. This was about 0.4 pips. I've lost £1.20 . Not much but I've recognised from close scrutiny of the chart that big institutions are over manipulating prices. Normally I can out manoeuvre them but in this case I cant . As any high calibre trader must; I accept when I will lose totally. Withdrawn. In reply to Avatrade. With respect feelings are irrelevant. To trade your majors, clients must overcome £2 average spread. I believe impossible in current market conditions. Your s and p 500 has 0.5 pip spread which is high for this indices.”
Jose Francisco Chavez Villafranco: “My financial advisor's support is very poor because I can never contact him...”
AvaTrade's 1 Star Reviews (Bad)
Will Gray: “Staff were very rude! Y**** B****** in particular called me a liar, thief and scumbag. Which really is not an acceptable way to speak to a client. It has also been over 14 working days since I requested my withdrawal and still has not been received.”
Anyford Mudarikwa: “they are incompetent and inefficient. I submitted a document which was supposed to be verified in one business day but it's been days and nothing has happened”
Orane Bradford: "Don’t waste your time or money signing up to Ava trade. It is extremely easy to deposit your funds but when it comes time to withdraw, they don’t allow you to. I have been trying to withdraw my funds for 5 days now, and even after speaking to several customer service representatives I am still unable to withdraw my funds.."
