Reviewing AvaTrade

AvaTrade supports MT4, MT5, a mobile app, browser trading, a dedicated options platform, and two copy trading integrations. The majority will pick MT4 or MT5 and never open the others.

Available markets include forex, CFDs, commodities, cryptocurrencies, and vanilla options. Forex execution is their strength. CFDs are high-risk and most retail traders lose money on them.
