AvaTrade is the most complete beginner package we list. AvaTradeGO walks you through a first position, AvaProtect lets you pay to cover a losing trade for a set period, and the asset list runs from vanilla options to bonds. The spread pays for all of it: wider than the raw-account leaders, with no raw account to move to.
