CFD provider notes
AvaTrade
AvaTrade appears once in the WiT Markets CFD workbook, as a brand of AvaTrade Group. The headquarters note is Ireland. Research status is “Primary confirmed” and coverage confidence is “Source-backed”. The row is not a licence-by-licence register and it is not a recommendation to open an account.
Risk. CFDs are leveraged contracts with the provider. Losses can happen quickly. This note is research, not an invitation to open an account, and a listed supervisor is not a finding that the firm is safe.

Where the workbook names a group rather than the company on the client agreement, that limit stands. Subsidiaries do not automatically share terms, products or protections.

That sentence is the workbook’s editorial research-use note. It is not a rating and it does not decide who should open an account.

The underlying research date on this row is 20 October 2026. WiT Markets did not re-open every regulator register on that date. Fees, leverage and eligibility need to be read again on the entity that would actually contract. Corrections can be sent from the corrections page.
