AvaTrade Review for UAE Traders in 2025

Compared to other brokers, AvaTrade does have a smaller, but more focused list of tradable assets. Due to their impressive selection of forex, options and CFDs, we rank AvaTrade highly in this trading category.

AvaTrade’s clients in the UAE have access to over 1400+ financial products, including:

• 53 Forex pairs
• 44 FX Options
• 636 Stock CFDs
• 20 Cryptocurrency CFDs
• 36 Indices CFDs
• 60 ETF CFDs
• 19 Commodity CFDs
• 2 Bond CFDs

Overall, AvaTrade features low fees on CFD trading, while forex trading fees come in at the industry standard. AvaTrade offers commission free trading, however this inevitably comes with higher spreads to make up for that. What exactly should you expect with AvaTrade trading fees?

EUR/USD starts with 0.9 pips, or $9 per standard lot. Equity traders can trade commission free, but will pay a minimum spread of 0.13%, while for crypto the minimum spread is 0.35%. AvaTrade’s lower spreads really shine when it comes to index CFDs and commodity CFDs, giving traders the best deal in these asset classes.

Looking in more detail at the AvaTrade trading fees, a major benefit is its free deposits and withdrawals. However, inactivity fees for AvaTrade are quite high at $50 per quarter after 3 months of inactivity.

As part of this AvaTrade review, we also looked at the broker's deposits and withdrawals. Let's start with all the AvaTrade deposit methods. AvaTrade provides traders in the UAE with several options. These include Credit/Debit cards, Wire transfers, and e-wallets (Neteller, Skrill, WebMoney). Deposits and withdrawals are free of charge, and the minimum deposit amount at AvaTrade to open an account is $100.
