Frequently Asked Questions about AvaOptions

What are the technical specs for the AvaOptions iOS trading app?

AvaOptions requires iOS 11.0 or later for iPhone, iOS 11.0 or later for iPod touch, Mac OS 11.0 or later with an Apple M1 chip, and iOS 11.0 or later for iPad operating systems.

These include English, Arabic, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, and Traditional Chinese. The app is provided courtesy of AvaTrade EU Limited, with an approximate size of 262 MB. The iOS app for iPad/iPhone devices offers FX, indices, and options in one account.
What types of option strategies are available on the AvaOptions app?

The AvaOptions trading app features 13 option strategies, including spot, call, call spread, call ratio, put, put spread, put ratio, straddle, straddle, butterfly, condo, risk reversal, and seagull option strategies.

Why is there a notable size difference between the Google Play Store app and the App Store app? Is iOS better?

The quality of the Google Play Store app and the App Store app is identical. The Google Play Store application for Android smartphones and tablets is a lightweight client which is 32 MB. Many of the files at the Google Play Store are compressed, and once downloaded, their true size is revealed. You can perform all the same functions with the Android app as you can with the iOS app. Further the AvaOptions app offers interactive screens, and intuitive functionality, for a wide range of financial instruments, including options, indices, gold, and currency pairs. Plus, there are complimentary demo accounts available, with no registration needed.
How do you calculate the required margin for options?

We calculate the required margin based on how risky your portfolio is, using a method called SPAN (Standardized Portfolio Analysis). It takes into account the implied volatility of the option as well as contract duration (option's expiration date). You can see the full data with examples here.
