AvaTrade has announced an agreement to acquire most of FXCM, according to a LinkedIn post from IndependentInvestor.com dated 5 November 2026. The financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed in the source.
The same post says AvaTrade has launched its own AI-powered trading platform, offering market analysis, trading signals, news and customisable workspaces, and that the launch follows the FXCM deal. The post does not give further details of the acquisition, including which parts of FXCM are included or excluded, or when the transaction is expected to complete.
The post also questions whether AI can actually help retail traders make better decisions, describing AvaTrade as another broker betting on AI.
