How to Choose a Forex Broker (as an Argentinian trader) 

Choosing a forex broker can be a daunting task. There are several things to consider and look in to before settling on a broker- especially if you are an Argentinian trader. Forex brokers have been undergoing many regulatory changes recently, with the introduction of a new president, new regulations and reforms. It is important that Argentinian traders choose a legally regulated broker to trade with. There is a large black-market forex trading industry in Argentina due to its volatile currency, economy, and uncertainty about the laws regarding forex trading. However, traders are advised to trade only with regulated brokers in Argentina, or competent and regulated international brokerages. 

General Regulation & Argentinian Regulation 

The financial markets in Argentina are regulated and influenced by a few regulatory authorities. The Central Bank of Argentina, the Argentine Tax Authority, the National Securities Commission (CNV), and the Ministry of Economics and Finances in Argentina (ECON). The regulations imposed by these bodies are very intricate and specific and are constantly being updated and changed. As of now, the trading of forex in Argentina is deemed illegal, thus there are no longer any local brokerages offering this service. 

Trading Platform & Software 

The best forex brokers in Argentina provide advanced and up to date trading platforms and software. Designed with the trader in mind, the best trading platforms offer an easy to use and visually pleasing interface, they have a variety of analysis tools, and fast speeds for execution. A good trading platform will offer their traders up to date quotes and charts in an organized and easy to use format. The interface should be fast, informative, and easy enough to use. Many forex brokers in Argentina offer a free trial of their platforms before a full commitment.  

Commissions & Spreads
