    Hello dear traders,

    I am looking for an online broker where I could trade the Real. Does anyone know of 1? If there any ETFs that mimics this currency?

    Thank you!

    The closest ETF you can trade is the EWZ, the MSCI Brasil index.

    There is absolutely zero volume on the CME Real futs.

    If you are really determined to trade Real Fx, you need to open a local bank account and get residency first.

    Trading this currency is really not easy for estranhos.

    Do it by EFP (Exchange Futures for Physical).

    EFP = Exchange For Physical.

    Can you please elaborate on how to do this.
    I am familiar with EFP's, but don't you need a future to accomplish this trade?

    The volume on CME is zero and they ceased trading on The ICE.

    Whatever you do, check the brazilian sec's site because there is a ton of firms getting fined offering currency trading.
