In detail: every platform for Chile

#1

Northgate Markets

Multi-asset broker ยท London, United Kingdom

8.6 Excellent

Northgate Markets is the platform we point most first-time comparers to when they want one account that can hold long-term share positions and still trade short-term CFDs.

Chile: served under the FCA licence (United Kingdom), also authorised by CySEC, ASIC. Minimum deposit $50. Commission-free shares, spreads from 0.6 pips.

Pros

  • Strong three-regulator footprint
  • Wide instrument range for a retail broker
  • Fast, well-designed mobile app

Cons

  • Inactivity fee kicks in after one year
  • Research tools are thinner than a full-service broker
What we found in testing

Who it suits

Investors who want to buy real shares and ETFs but occasionally hedge or speculate with leverage. The two account types sit side by side and share a single funding wallet, so there is no juggling of transfers.

Costs in practice

Share dealing is commission-free with a small FX conversion fee on non-base-currency stocks. CFD spreads are mid-pack: not the tightest we have seen, but there are no hidden platform fees. The inactivity charge only matters if you walk away for a year.

Platform and tools

The proprietary web platform is quick and clean, and power users can route orders through MetaTrader 4/5 or TradingView. Charting, alerts and a basic screener are all included at no cost.

Safety

Client money is held in segregated accounts and retail clients are covered by negative balance protection in every jurisdiction where Northgate is licensed.

#2

Kestrel Trading

Forex & CFD broker ยท Sydney, Australia

8.6 Excellent

Kestrel Trading is a specialist. If you already know what a lot size is and care about execution latency, this is the most complete offer on our list.

Chile: served under the ASIC licence (Australia), also authorised by FCA, DFSA, FSCA. Minimum deposit $200. Raw spreads from 0.0 pips + $3.50 per lot per side.

Pros

  • Institutional-grade execution speed
  • Every popular third-party platform supported
  • No inactivity or withdrawal fees

Cons

  • $200 minimum deposit
  • Share CFDs only, no real equities
  • Education aimed at experienced traders
What we found in testing

Who it suits

Active forex and index traders, algorithmic traders running Expert Advisors, and anyone who wants cTrader or a FIX API.

Costs in practice

The Raw account charges $7 round-turn per lot on top of near-zero spreads, which works out cheaper than a spread-only account for most strategies. A Standard account with wider spreads and no commission exists for smaller traders.

Platform and tools

Kestrel does not push a proprietary platform; instead it hosts MT4, MT5, cTrader and TradingView with identical pricing across all four. VPS hosting is free above a modest monthly volume.

Safety

Client funds are segregated at tier-one banks and the group publishes its execution statistics quarterly, which is rare at this size.

#3

Orbit Capital

Social trading platform ยท Limassol, Cyprus

8.2 Very good

Orbit Capital turns investing into something you do with other people. The copy-trading engine is the headline, but the free academy is the reason many users stay.

Chile: served under the CySEC licence (European Union), also authorised by FSA. Minimum deposit $100. Zero commission, spreads from 1.0 pip.

Pros

  • Best-in-class education for beginners
  • Transparent copy-trader statistics
  • Fractional stock and crypto positions

Cons

  • Wider spreads than specialist brokers
  • Fees on withdrawals and inactivity
  • International entity offers weaker protections
What we found in testing

Who it suits

Beginners who want guidance and a community, and people who would rather allocate to a handful of vetted traders than manage every position themselves.

Costs in practice

You pay through the spread rather than a commission. That is convenient but not cheap: expect about a pip on EUR/USD and up to 1% on crypto. Copying a trader carries no extra charge.

Platform and tools

The interface is social-media-like, with feeds, comments and follow buttons. Risk scores for each copied trader are recalculated daily and you can cap losses per copy relationship.

Safety

EU clients sit under the CySEC entity with investor compensation cover. Clients onboarded through the Seychelles entity get higher leverage but less protection; we recommend the EU entity where available.

Questions from investors in Chile

Which regulator protects investors in Chile?

The primary supervisor is the Comisiรณn para el Mercado Financiero. Firms may also serve residents of Chile under a passport or cross-border permission from another recognised regulator; our listings note which licence applies to you.

Can I deposit in CLP?

Most platforms listed for Chile accept CLP deposits by card or bank transfer. If a platform only holds accounts in USD or EUR, a conversion fee applies each time you fund or withdraw, so check the platform's fee page.

Do I have to pay tax on profits in Chile?

In most cases yes, on realised gains and on dividends. Some countries apply withholding automatically at domestic brokers; with foreign brokers you usually self-report. Our tax basics guide explains what records to keep, and a local adviser can confirm your position.

What is the difference between a demo and a live account?

A demo account uses virtual money and real prices so you can learn the platform without risk. A live account uses your deposit. We recommend at least a couple of weeks on a demo before funding.

How do I know a platform is really licensed?

Find the legal entity name in the platform's footer and search it on the Comisiรณn para el Mercado Financiero register or the register of the regulator named in our listing. Never trust a screenshot of a licence.

What does the "retail accounts lose money" figure mean?

Regulators require CFD providers to publish the share of retail clients who lost money over the previous year. It applies to leveraged products only. We show it beside every platform that offers CFDs so you can see the risk before you click.

Can I hold real shares, or only CFDs?

It depends on the platform. Our listing shows the asset classes each one offers and whether they are cash securities or derivatives. Long-term investors should look for real shares and ETFs.

What happens to my money if the platform fails?

Client money at a regulated firm is held separately from company funds, so it is not used to pay the firm's creditors. Most jurisdictions also run an investor compensation scheme with a per-client limit. Check the limit that applies in Chile.
