AvaTrade Targets Spanish Market for Growth

Since its inception in 2006, AvaTrade has been a major player in the financial sector. Initially, the firm specialized in Contracts for Difference (CFDs) across various assets, such as stocks, commodities, indices, and cryptocurrencies, before branching out to options trading.

AvaTrade offers multiple trading platforms to meet diverse needs. Traders can use MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 for CFD trading. AvaTradeGO, the company’s proprietary platform, supports CFDs and options trading, while AvaOptions caters specifically to options traders.

The Central Bank of Ireland regulates AvaTrade. The firm holds operating licenses in numerous international regions, including Israel, the Middle East, South Africa, and Japan, and it also holds a global license for Latin America based in the British Virgin Islands. AvaTrade has subsidiaries in Australia and Poland and is seeking to solidify its license in Spain following new CNMV regulations.

The company focuses on technological advancement, providing tools such as Guardian Angel and AvaProtect to aid traders in making educated decisions and risk management. These tools serve as risk mitigation equipment, offering additional security to traders.

AvaTrade’s social trading tool, Duplitrade, allows traders to emulate strategies seasoned traders use. Furthermore, with its exclusive platform, AvaOptions, AvaTrade offers a comprehensive options trading experience.

Compliance with European Standards: Embracing Vanilla Options

AvaTrade remains committed to European standards, ensuring that client funds are held separate from the broker’s operational funds, thus maintaining financial security for its clients.

The firm’s plans involve setting up an office in Madrid, Spain, where it plans to hold online training sessions and educational seminars. In line with the new CNMV regulations, AvaTrade plans to implement vanilla options and introduce barrier options.

These unique options come with a predetermined maximum loss level, a move set to expand the variety of trading products available to clients. AvaTrade is also working towards introducing futures contracts into its offerings, specifically index futures, to provide more trading options.
