To day trade Argentine markets, like stocks listed on the Bolsa y Mercados Argentinos (BYMA), or key export commodities like soybeans or corn, you will need an online broker.

The Central Bank of Argentina (BCRA) regulates the financial markets in Argentina, though many brokers that accept Argentine traders and offer short-term trading products are regulated overseas. Local tax rules still apply.

We’ve curated a list of the best day trading platforms in Argentina. Many of our recommended firms offer trading opportunities on regional markets and convenient account funding for Argentinians, which remains primarily a cash-based economy.

Methodology

To identify the best day trading platforms in Argentina, we sifted through our 140-strong database of online brokers, extracted those that accept Argentine day traders and ranked them by their rating.

Our ratings are based on 100+ data points and personal tests of each broker in key categories.

How To Choose A Day Trading Broker in Argentina

Based on our extensive tests, there are several factors to consider when choosing a broker:

Regulation & Trust

Choose a licensed broker that you can trust.

Since the Central Bank of Argentina (BCRA) is not a highly regarded or active financial body, we look for trading platforms licensed by ‘green tier’ regulators like the ASIC in Australia and the FCA in the UK.

These authorities protect clients through proactive safeguarding measures like negative balance protection (so you can’t lose more than your balance) and capped leverage rates (limiting your losses in fast-moving markets). Crucially, they also help to protect traders from scams.

Day Trading Markets

Choose a broker with a wide range of markets for short-term trading.

This will allow you to explore different opportunities while building a diversified portfolio.

Argentinian day traders may wish to trade local markets, such as stocks listed on the Bolsa y Mercados Argentinos (BYMA) like Domec. Equally, for forex trading in Argentina, currency pairs involving the Argentine peso (ARS) may be important.

However, after exploring many trading platforms, we’ve found these aren’t widely available. Instead, our recommended brokers offer a diverse range of global markets, for example, Latin American assets which may be of interest to Argentinians.

Day Trading Fees

Choose a broker with competitive trading fees.

Notably, fees like spreads and commissions will impact a day trader’s profitability. Additionally, non-trading fees like deposit and withdrawal costs, plus conversion charges if funding your account in Argentine pesos may impact traders looking to keep frequent transaction costs to a minimum.

We also investigate any additional features which may warrant higher costs. For example, some day trading platforms may offer insights into regional economic updates in Latin America, or financial updates from the Central Bank of Argentina.

One increasingly popular example is TradingView. I love the fantastically intuitive interface and as you can see below, I filtered the ‘Markets’ to ‘Argentina’ for helpful insights into the most volatile stocks (presenting short-term trading opportunities), earnings announcements, and key economic indicators like GDP, interest rates and inflation rates.

Charting Platforms

Choose a broker with powerful charting platforms for technical analysis.

Short-term traders, more than most types of traders, need reliable software to conduct technical analysis and execute strategies.

Whilst some brokers opt for the straightforward yet outdated interfaces of the MetaTrader suite (MT4 and MT5), others offer more sophisticated and modernized solutions like cTrader.

Crucially, the top platforms deliver a wide selection of indicators, drawing tools and short-term time intervals, as well as additional features like trading bots.

Leverage Trading

Choose a broker with transparent leverage and margin requirements.

Leverage will likely play a key part in your day trading strategy, so ensuring margin requirements are clear upfront is crucial.

Leverage allows you to place larger trades than your available capital would otherwise allow.

For example, 1:10 leverage on the Argentine stock, MercadoLibre, would give me 10x the purchasing power. So, if I put down $100 for this position, it would actually be worth $1,000 (10 x $100).

However, it’s vital to remember that both profits and losses will be multiplied.

Execution

Choose a broker with fast execution speeds.

This is crucial for active day traders who need optimum conditions for fast-paced trading strategies.

Importantly, we investigate execution speeds (ideally meeting our benchmark of less than 100 milliseconds) as well as latency and slippage.

Minimum Deposit

Choose a broker with an accessible minimum deposit.

With most day trading platforms requiring up to 250 USD (around 220,690 ARS) to open a live account, beginners should be able to get started with an affordable minimum investment.

You may also want to consider brokers that support popular deposit methods in Argentina which may offer reduced conversion fees and faster processing times.

Whilst Argentina remains largely a cash-based economy, traditional card payments such as debit cards and prepaid cards are still more popular than e-wallets, according to Bamboo Payment Systems.

Who Regulates Day Trading Platforms In Argentina?

The Central Bank of Argentina (BCRA) is responsible for overseeing the financial markets in Argentina. However, the BCRA is not a top-tier or hugely active regulator, so locals may need to seek brokers authorized in other heavily regulated jurisdictions, as long as they adhere to tax rules in Argentina.

Among the most credible regulators are the ASIC (Australia), SEC (US) and FCA (UK). These offer the highest standards of safeguarding for retail investors executing short-term trading strategies.
