Vantage

Vantage is a broker founded in 2009 and one of the few accessible to LATAM that combines dual tier-1 regulation: ASIC (Australia) and FCA (UK), plus licences in South Africa, the Cayman Islands, Mauritius and Vanuatu.

It opens with a $50 minimum deposit and offers three accounts: Standard STP with no commission (spreads from 1.4 pips), Raw ECN (from 0.0 pips + $3 per lot) and Pro ECN (from 0.0 pips + $1.5 per lot) for high volume. There is no deposit, withdrawal or inactivity fee.

On platforms it is one of the most complete here: MetaTrader 4 and 5, direct TradingView integration (uncommon), its own ProTrader and the Vantage app, with copy trading support (DupliTrade, Myfxbook). It lists 1,000+ CFDs across forex, indices, shares, commodities and crypto — CFDs only, not real shares.

The key thing to check is which entity your account is opened under: most LATAM traders end up under offshore entities (VFSC or FSC Mauritius) with leverage up to 1:1000, rather than ASIC/FCA (capped at 1:30 but with more protection). For LATAM it accepts Astropay, handy for funding in local currency.

In short, Vantage pairs one of the strongest regulatory setups available to a broker accessible in the region with competitive spreads and an excellent range of platforms.
