Run away, go elsewhere
I trusted Avatrade at first. Then I realized that as soon as a stop was close enough it was touched by suspicious streaks... market making in its splendor. I also lost my entry bonus on a wrong move, no possible discussion with Avatrade. This bonus was granted with a counterpart of a minimum volume traded: in less than 6 months I had already traded nearly 17 lots out of the 25 needed in 1 year: it was a trap for the beginner I was forcing to trade without waiting for the favorable conditions. Several orders closed without my intervention, once again no explanation! It turned out that most of the analyses sent out on a daily basis are false and are, in my opinion, only proposed to bring liquidity into the markets by making beginners lose. Finally, when we want to recover our funds, it is so complex... to this day I still have not recovered anything. I strongly advise to run away and go elsewhere.
