When I attempted to login to the Ava Trading Platform, I received an error message saying - "No JDK 1.4 support for APPLET!!"
The AvaTrader platform requires Java Runtime Environment ("JRE") installed onto your computer in order to operate. If JRE is not already installed on to your computer, it should download automatically when you attempt to access our login page, showing the following prompt:
Click "Install" and follow the on-screen prompts to download this software. If it does not install automatically, you can download and install in manually from http://www.avafx.com/jre.exe . Alternatively, you can login to your Ava account using our PC-based software, which does not require JRE. This will resolve any browser or Java related problems. Download the PC-based software AvaTrader here. (Download AvaTrader)

What is the difference between the download version and the JAVA no download version of AvaTrader?
The download version of AvaTrader has several more options as it is a windows-based application and as such is our recommended option. However the JAVA version does not require any download and is often very useful when you are not in front of your personal PC. Also in some countries where internet connections are slow the JAVA version may provide a faster connection.

I am unable to connect to the AvaTrader Platform.
When you log in, a small loading window should appear in order to launch the platform. There may be a number of reasons why you may not be able to see the window or the window may appear but the loading bar does not move:
1) Do you have popup blocking software? Popup blocking software will not allow the trading platform to load. Please deactivate this software to allow pop-ups from www.avafx.com and Ava Trader.
2) AvaJava is Java based; therefore Java must be enabled in order for the window to appear. If you have an older version of Java (older than 1.4), you may need to update Java. To install Java, please visit Sun's Java web site.
3) Your Internet browser cache may be corrupted. Please use our instructions on how to clear your Java cache.
4) Are you behind a Firewall? The trading platform will only operate if the firewall will allow HTTP requests and connections to us on Ports 80 and 9700. You should enable your firewall to let the trading platform access these ports.
If you continue to experience difficulty please contact our (Technical Support Team).
