AvaTrade offers six separate trading platforms across mobile, desktop, and web — each serving a different type of trader. Unlike brokers with a single app, AvaTrade has dedicated apps for general trading (AvaTradeGO), copy trading (AvaSocial), and options trading (AvaOptions), alongside industry-standard MetaTrader 4/5 and a browser-based WebTrader. Here’s what each app does and who it’s for: (For AvaTrade’s full regulation, fees, and account types, see our AvaTrade Review.)

Below, we cover every version in detail — what it does, how to download it on your device, and which version fits your trading style. We also explain how to use AvaTrade on PC, whether APK downloads are safe, and how the different apps work together.

1. Download AvaTradeGO — The Main Trading App (Android & iOS)

AvaTradeGO is AvaTrade’s primary mobile app and the right download for most traders, because it combines live trading execution across 1,250+ instruments, AvaProtect trade insurance, real-time price alerts, advanced charting, and full account management in a single interface — rated 4.7/5 on Google Play with 1 million+ installs and awarded “Best Mobile Trading Experience” in 2025.

AvaTradeGO gives you access to forex, stocks, crypto, indices, commodities, and ETFs, with one-click execution, multiple order types, and market sentiment data showing what other AvaTrade traders are buying and selling. The built-in AvaProtect feature lets you insure individual trades against losses directly from the app — no other broker’s mobile app offers this. You can switch between demo and live accounts, deposit and withdraw funds, and contact support — all without opening a browser.

Version Details

How to Download AvaTradeGO

1. Android: Open Google Play Store, search “AvaTrade” and install the app published by AvaTrade — or download directly from AvaTrade (listed as “AvaTrade: Trading App” or “AvaTrade: Multi Asset Trading”).
2. iOS: Open the App Store, search “AvaTrade” and download. Compatible with iOS 15.0 and later, including all current iPhones and iPads.
3. Open the app and log in with your AvaTrade credentials. If you don’t have an account, tap “Register” to create one — or start with a demo account immediately.
4. Enable AvaProtect on your first demo trades to see how trade insurance works before committing real money.

2. Download AvaSocial — Copy Trading App (Android & iOS)

AvaSocial is AvaTrade’s dedicated copy trading app, built for traders who want to automatically replicate the trades of experienced traders — without needing to analyse charts or place trades themselves. Unlike most copy trading platforms, AvaSocial charges no additional fees for copying — you only pay the standard AvaTrade spreads.

The app lets you browse trader profiles with full performance history, maximum drawdown, risk scores, and win rates. You can follow multiple traders, allocate different amounts to each, and even use inverse copying (automatically taking the opposite position). AvaSocial also includes a social feed where traders share ideas, strategies, and market commentary.

How to Download AvaSocial

1. Android: Open Google Play Store, search “AvaSocial” and install. Published by AvaTrade — or get AvaSocial here.
2. iOS: Open the App Store, search “AvaSocial” and download.
3. Log in with your AvaTrade account — same credentials as AvaTradeGO. Browse strategy providers by performance, risk level, and trading frequency before committing capital.

3. Download AvaOptions — Forex Options Trading (Android & iOS)

AvaOptions is a dedicated options trading app that no other TIC-reviewed broker offers, because it gives you access to 44 forex option pairs with 13 pre-built strategies — including protective puts, straddles, butterflies, condors, risk reversals, and seagulls — with real-time Greeks analysis (delta, gamma, theta, vega) and up to 1:100 leverage.

This is a specialist app for traders who want hedging tools and options strategies alongside their regular forex/CFD trading. AvaOptions is separate from AvaTradeGO because options trading requires a different interface with strategy builders, payoff diagrams, and Greeks displays that don’t belong in a general trading app.

How to Download AvaOptions

1. Android: Open Google Play Store, search “AvaOptions” and install. Requires Android 10+ — or get AvaOptions here.
2. iOS: Open the App Store, search “AvaOptions” and download. Requires iOS 15.6+.
3. Log in with your AvaTrade account. You’ll need an AvaOptions account type — if you only have a Standard account, contact support to add an options account (same $100 minimum deposit).

4. Download AvaTrade for PC / Windows / Mac

To use AvaTrade on PC, you have three options: download MetaTrader 5 desktop, download MetaTrader 4 desktop, or use WebTrader in your browser — AvaTrade does not have a branded “AvaTrade for PC” desktop app, but offers the industry-standard MetaTrader platforms plus its own proprietary web-based platform that requires no installation.

For most PC traders, MT5 desktop is the best download for advanced analysis, and WebTrader is the best option for anyone who wants to trade without installing anything.

Option A: MetaTrader 5 Desktop (Best for Advanced Analysis)

1. Go to the AvaTrade MT5 download page and click the download link for your operating system (Windows or macOS — .dmg available for Mac).
2. Install MetaTrader 5 by running the downloaded file and following the installation prompts.
3. Open MT5 and select “AvaTrade” from the broker/server list.
4. Enter your MT5 account credentials. These are set when you create an MT5 trading account in your AvaTrade dashboard — separate from your main AvaTrade login password.

Option B: MetaTrader 4 Desktop (For EA Traders)

MT4 is the older version of MetaTrader with fewer indicators and timeframes than MT5, but many traders prefer it because their Expert Advisors (automated trading robots) are built for MT4. AvaTrade’s MT4 includes the Guardian Angel AI plugin — an expert advisor that provides real-time feedback on your trading behavior and suggests stop-loss levels. Download MT4 from AvaTrade — available for both Windows and macOS (.dmg).

Option C: WebTrader (No Download — Browser-Based)

WebTrader runs entirely in your browser — no installation, no updates, no storage used. It features a clean, beginner-friendly interface with AvaProtect built in, market sentiment data, multiple timeframes, and technical indicators. Compatible with Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Edge. WebTrader is the fastest path to trading on any PC, especially useful on shared or work computers where you can’t install software.

5. Download AvaTrade APK — Is It Safe?

Official AvaTrade APK files are available for Android users who cannot access Google Play Store — AvaTrade publishes direct APK downloads on its website for AvaTradeGO, AvaSocial, and AvaOptions. These are the same apps available on Google Play, packaged as direct-install files for regions or devices where the Play Store is unavailable.

How to Download AvaTrade APK Safely

1. Go to the official AvaTrade website (avatrade.com) in your mobile browser.
2. Navigate to the app download section and select the Android download link for the app you want.
3. Enable “Install from unknown sources” in your Android settings (Settings → Security → Unknown Sources).
4. Open the downloaded .apk file and follow the installation prompts.

Note for iOS users: APK files are an Android-only format. There is no “AvaTrade APK for iOS” — iPhone and iPad users download AvaTrade apps directly from the Apple App Store.

Which AvaTrade App Should You Download?

The right AvaTrade app depends on what you want to do — each app serves a different function, and most active traders will use two or three together.

How to Use the AvaTrade App

Downloading the app is the first step — using it effectively is what matters. Here’s how to set up your AvaTrade apps in the first 10 minutes for good trading habits from day one.

First Steps After Download

1. Open a demo account first. AvaTradeGO gives you access to a demo account with up to $100,000 in virtual funds. Use it to learn the interface and test AvaProtect before depositing real money. See our AvaTrade Demo Account guide for a detailed walkthrough.
2. Start AvaAcademy courses. Access 200+ structured lessons directly through the app — even on demo. Begin with the beginner courses on forex basics and risk management.
3. Enable 2FA / biometric login in Settings → Security. This protects your account even if someone gets your password. See our AvaTrade Login guide for full security setup.
4. Make a test deposit of $100 when you’re ready for live trading. South African traders: use ZAR bank transfer to avoid conversion fees. See our AvaTrade Deposit guide for step-by-step instructions.
5. Place one small trade with AvaProtect enabled, then test a withdrawal to verify the full deposit-trade-withdraw cycle works. See our AvaTrade Withdrawal guide for details on processing times.

How the Different AvaTrade Apps Work Together

Use AvaTradeGO on your phone for daily trading, price alerts, and AvaProtect on individual trades. Use MT5 desktop or WebTrader when you’re at a computer for detailed chart analysis and multi-indicator setups. Use AvaSocial to follow and copy experienced traders while you build your own skills. All AvaTrade apps connect to the same account — a trade opened on MT5 appears instantly in AvaTradeGO.

Conclusion

AvaTrade has six platforms because it serves different trader types — from beginners who want AvaProtect and structured education (AvaTradeGO + AvaAcademy) to experienced traders who need multi-indicator analysis and automated strategies (MT5 desktop) to passive investors who want copy trading (AvaSocial) to options specialists (AvaOptions). The key is knowing which app fits your needs, not downloading all of them.

For most African traders, AvaTradeGO is the right starting point — it’s the only AvaTrade app that combines trading, AvaProtect insurance, account management, and AvaAcademy access in one interface. Add MT5 or WebTrader for PC analysis, and AvaSocial if copy trading appeals to you.

All AvaTrade apps are available on official app stores (Google Play and App Store) and as APK downloads from avatrade.com. All connect to the same AvaTrade account — one login, all platforms.
