-
1
Always trade in USD accounts. Why: protects against local currency devaluation. If ARS loses 50% in a year, your USD profits are worth 2x in pesos. Siempre opera en cuentas USD para proteger tu capital contra devaluaciones locales.
-
2
Hedge devaluation with USD/LOCAL longs. Going long USD/BRL or USD/MXN effectively hedges any BRL/MXN-denominated assets you hold. Operações long em USD/BRL servem como hedge contra a desvalorização do real.
-
3
Calculate real returns, not nominal. 20% profit in Argentina = -100% real (inflation eats it). 20% in Peru/Chile ≈ 16-17% real. Calcula siempre el retorno real descontando la inflación.
-
4
Beware of LATAM spreads. USD/MXN, USD/BRL, USD/COP have wider spreads than EUR/USD. Factor this into your risk/reward ratio (min 1:2). Los pares LATAM tienen spreads más amplios — ajusta tu ratio riesgo/beneficio.
-
5
Tax considerations (per country). MX: 10% ISR on gains. BR: 15-22.5% capital gains. CO: 35% max. CL: global complementary tax. AR: 15% on foreign income. PE: 5-30%. Always consult a local tax pro. Cada país LATAM tiene su propia tributación — consulta un contador local.

Use brokers with local bank transfers. Exness, XM, AvaTrade support SPEI (MX), PIX (BR), PSE (CO), Webpay (CL), Yape/Plin (PE). Avoids high SWIFT fees. Usa brokers que acepten PIX, SPEI, PSE — evita comisiones SWIFT altas.
Frequently Asked Questions / Preguntas Frecuentes
Pip value in your account currency = (pip size / exchange rate) × lot size × USD/local rate. For EUR/USD on a standard lot (100k units) with a MXN account, 1 pip equals $10 USD, then converted to MXN using the live USD/MXN rate (~17-20 MXN). Our calculator does this automatically using live rates from our data engine.
LATAM traders prefer USD accounts to hedge against local currency devaluation. With inflation ranging from ~4% (Mexico, Chile, Peru) to 120%+ (Argentina), keeping profits in USD preserves purchasing power. Even a profitable year in ARS or COP can result in a real loss when measured in purchasing power terms — holding USD neutralizes this risk.
For USD/BRL, 1 pip = 0.0001. On a standard lot (100,000 units), 1 pip equals approximately 10 BRL (the quote currency). On a mini lot (10k), 1 pip = 1 BRL. On micro lot (1k), 1 pip = 0.10 BRL. The BRL value is fixed per lot size regardless of the exchange rate because BRL is the quote currency.
Real return = ((1 + nominal return) / (1 + inflation)) - 1. In Argentina with 120% inflation, a 50% nominal gain means a real LOSS of ~32%. In Mexico with 5% inflation, a 20% gain yields ~14% real return. Always calculate inflation-adjusted returns when trading with LATAM currency accounts — our calculator shows both figures automatically.
Yes, forex is legal across LATAM. Mexico (CNBV), Brazil (CVM), Colombia (SFC), Chile (CMF), Peru (SBS), and Argentina (CNV) all permit forex trading through regulated international brokers. Most LATAM traders use offshore brokers like Exness, XM, AvaTrade, or IC Markets. Tax treatment varies significantly by country — always consult a local tax advisor.
