Ava FX Review
AvaFX was the original 2006 name for what is now AvaTrade. The old AvaFX brand is retired, so treat any site still using that name with real caution.

Pros
- Traces back to a real, established 2006 launch as AvaFX in Dublin
- The 2013 rebrand to AvaTrade came with wider markets and real oversight
- AVA Trade EU Ltd is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland, ref C53877
- Also licensed by ASIC in Australia and several other regulators worldwide
Cons
- The AvaFX name has not been used by the real company since 2013
- Any AvaFX branded site or app today is not linked to the real AvaTrade
- Confusing for searchers who do not realize AvaFX became AvaTrade
- No current pricing, platform, or account details exist under this old name
Ava Capital Markets Ltd launched in Dublin in 2006 under the brand name AvaFX. The name only pointed to forex trading, so as the firm added stocks, indices, and other markets, it rebranded to AvaTrade in 2013.
AvaTrade is the live, active brand today. AVA Trade EU Ltd is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland, reference number C53877, and sister companies hold licenses in Australia, Japan, the British Virgin Islands, South Africa, and other regions.
There is no current AvaFX website or account to open. Since the AvaFX name has not been used since 2013, anyone offering to open an AvaFX account today is not connected to the real, regulated AvaTrade group, and should be treated with caution.
