Pros and cons

Pros

  • Deposits and withdrawals are free, so moving money in and out adds nothing to the cost of holding the account.
  • A demo account and a mobile app are included, and MT4, MT5 and AvaTradeGO cover trading from a desktop, the web or a phone.
  • A commission free pricing model, so costs sit in the spread rather than in a ticket charge on each trade.

Cons

  • An account fee of $100 applies, where eToro's account fee is $0.
  • The minimum deposit of $100 is higher than CFI at $0 and Vantage at $5.
  • An inactivity fee of $50 can erode a small balance if you stop trading.

Who it suits

  • You want stocks, forex, CFDs and crypto under a single login instead of juggling separate platforms.
  • You are new to trading and want a demo account to learn on, plus a mobile app to trade from your phone.
  • You would rather pay a flat account fee than a charge on every trade.

Who should look elsewhere

  • You want to open an account with no account fee, since eToro's account fee is $0.
  • You want to fund the account with very little, because CFI takes $0 and Vantage takes $5 as a minimum deposit.

Where it sits among rivals

On stock trade fee Avatrade Kenya ranks 1 of 161 brands, its strongest showing of the cost measures. On account fee it sits at 128 of 138, the inactivity fee at 51 of 56, and the minimum deposit at 148 of 213. The fixed charges are where it loses ground.

What trading costs

The account opens with a minimum deposit of $100, and stock trades cost $0. Running costs are flat rather than per trade: the account fee is $100 and the inactivity fee is $50. Deposits and withdrawals are free, so moving money in and out adds nothing extra.

How Avatrade Kenya compares

Frequently asked questions

What does it cost to open an account with Avatrade Kenya?+

Opening the account takes a minimum deposit of $100, and the account fee is $100 whichever way you trade. Stock trades themselves cost $0, so those fixed amounts decide whether the account pays off for you.

Do I pay a commission each time I buy a share?+

Stock trades carry a stock trade fee of $0 and the model is commission free, so there is no per trade commission on a share purchase. The cost of a trade sits in the spread instead, the usual arrangement for commission free brokers.

What happens to my balance if I stop trading for a while?+

An inactivity fee of $50 applies, so an account left untouched can shrink over time. The median inactivity fee across the site is €0, so this one sits well above the typical figure.

Do deposits and withdrawals cost anything?+

Deposits and withdrawals are free, so you can move money in and out without a charge on each transaction. That keeps the running costs down to the account fee of $100 and the inactivity fee of $50, which are the fixed amounts to think about.

What can I trade in a single account?+

A single account covers stocks, etfs and forex, so shares, ETFs, forex, CFDs, crypto and bonds all sit under the same login. That breadth suits you if you want to move between asset types without opening separate accounts.

Which platforms and apps can I use?+

You can trade on MT4, MT5 and AvaTradeGO, which covers the main desktop, web and mobile options. A demo account and a mobile app come as standard too, so you can learn the platform and place trades from your phone without sitting at a desk.

How does the minimum deposit compare with other brokers?+

At $100 it is a heavier entry than CFI, which takes $0, or Vantage at $5. If you want to test the waters with a small amount first, those ask for less before the $100 account fee starts to matter.
