AvaProtect comes standard with 1-day protection and 2-day protection. The expiration takes place at 10 AM New York time, or GMT -5. Just recently, AvaTrade South Africa began offering much shorter trade time protections for risk management. These include 1 hour, 3 hour, 6 hour, 12-hour protection for specific FX pairs. We strongly advise that you use the AvaProtect function and assess the timeframes that are available for your chosen assets. This is available through AvaTradeGO’s trading page. If your position has unrealised losses at expiry time, you will automatically be credited with those losses.
