Our verdict

Avatrade Me charges no account fee and no stock trade fee, so it suits traders who want a broad market list without a monthly bill. The catch is a $100 opening deposit and an inactivity fee of $50, which bites accounts left idle.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Deposits and withdrawals carry no fee, so moving money adds nothing to the cost of a trade.
  • Wide market list in the same login: stocks, etfs and forex.
  • Pick your terminal from WebTrader, MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, with a demo account and a mobile app included.

Cons

  • Dormant accounts are charged: the inactivity fee is $50, while the median across the brokers compared is €0.
  • The minimum deposit of $100 ranks 148 of 213 brands, and the median minimum deposit across the site is €4.64.
  • Leverage of 400:1 on retail accounts makes a wrong call expensive fast.

Who it suits

  • Traders who want shares, forex, CFDs, options and bonds in the same account.
  • Anyone who likes moving between a web terminal, the MetaTrader platforms and an app.
  • New traders who can learn on a demo account before putting money in.

Who should look elsewhere

  • CFI, whose minimum deposit is $0, if you want to start with nothing.
  • Vantage, if an entry point of $5 matters more than the market list.
  • eToro, if crypto and futures on stocks, etfs and forex are part of the plan.

Fees and costs

The account fee is $0 and the stock trade fee is $0, so there is no standing charge for holding or trading shares. Deposits and withdrawals carry no fee. The minimum deposit is $100, and an inactivity fee of $50 applies to an account left idle.

The company behind it

Avatrade Me has been trading since 2006, so it counts as a long established operation rather than a new entrant. Operating that long means the firm has been through more than one full market cycle. Age says nothing on its own about how your money is protected, so check which legal entity holds your account before you fund it.

Frequently asked questions

How much do I need to open an account?+

The minimum deposit is $100. Across the brokers listed here the median minimum deposit is €4.64, so the opening amount asked for sits well above the middle. That balance is what funds your trading across markets, with no separate subscription on top.

Does it charge commission or an account fee?+

The account fee is $0 and the stock trade fee is $0, and the pricing model is commission free. Both sit at the top of the cost table, on position 1 for account fee and 1 for stock trade fee. Nothing is charged for keeping the account open.

What happens if my account sits idle?+

An inactivity fee of $50 applies once an account goes dormant, so holding money without trading has a price. The median inactivity fee across the brokers compared is €0, which means this charge is larger than the typical one. Worth checking before you leave an account untouched.

What can I trade?+

The market list covers stocks, etfs and forex. Leverage on retail accounts runs to 400:1, and forex, CFDs and options all live in the same account, so one login covers share dealing, currency trading and derivatives. Leverage that high means a small position mistake can close out quickly.

Which platforms and apps can I use?+

Accounts run on WebTrader, MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, so the same market list is reachable from a web terminal, the MetaTrader terminals or the options platform. A mobile app is available alongside, which is handy for checking positions away from a desk. A demo account lets you rehearse first.

Who regulates it?+

Regulated by ADGM FSRA in the United Arab Emirates, so check which legal entity your account sits under before you fund it, because terms follow the entity rather than the brand name. Supervision is not a forecast: the median share of retail accounts that lose money across the brokers compared is 70.15%, and most fall between 65.75% and 74.5%.

Are deposits and withdrawals free?+

Deposits and withdrawals carry no fee, so moving cash in or out adds no extra charge. The account fee is $0, so the standing costs to watch are the $50 inactivity charge and trading costs on leveraged products. The minimum deposit of $100 is what you need to fund the account.
