IG
IG is not the cheapest broker on every market. But 50 years of experience, 11 regulatory licences, ProRealTime and 17,000+ instruments in a single account are hard to match for Latvian traders who prioritise regulatory credibility and platform depth over the lowest possible fees.

Leverage available to professional traders in Latvia
Retail clients in Latvia are subject to ESMA leverage caps under MiFID II: 1:30 on major forex, 1:20 on minor pairs and gold, 1:10 on commodities and minor indices, 1:2 on crypto. Professional clients are exempt. Brokers licensed by the FCMC (Financial and Capital Market Commission) or passporting under MiFID II can offer leverage of 1:200 or higher on major forex to professional account holders.
VIP programmes and high-volume trading benefits
International brokers serving Latvian professional traders offer VIP programmes with dedicated account management, tighter spreads or reduced commissions, priority withdrawals, exclusive research, and rebate structures on traded volume. Most professional traders in Latvia access these programmes through CySEC or other major EU-licensed brokers passporting under MiFID II.
ECN and raw spread accounts for active trading
Raw ECN and STP accounts with EUR/USD spreads from 0.0 pips and per-lot commissions are available through EU-regulated brokers. NDD routing with multiple liquidity providers delivers consistent execution quality during the European session, which is the primary trading window for Latvian professional traders.
Platforms, APIs and algorithmic trading infrastructure
MT4 and MT5 with full EA support, cTrader, FIX API access and VPS hosting are standard at the professional tier. LD4 London co-location provides optimal latency for European session strategies, which represent the core liquidity window for EUR-denominated instruments.
Execution quality: speed, slippage and liquidity depth
ECB decisions and US macro data are the primary high-impact events. Latviaβs EET time zone (UTC+2/+3) means the London open arrives mid-morning locally. The European-US session overlap in the afternoon is the peak liquidity window for major pairs and European equity indices.
Range of instruments available to professional traders
Professional accounts unlock exotic forex pairs, higher-leverage CFDs on global and European indices, single-stock CFDs at institutional margins, and wider commodity and crypto access. The Nasdaq Baltic exchange includes the Riga Stock Exchange, accessible through some brokers for Latvian-focused traders.
FCMC regulation and fund protection for professional clients
The FCMC (Financial and Capital Market Commission) is Latviaβs securities regulator under MiFID II. Licensed and passporting brokers must segregate client funds. The Latvian investor protection scheme covers eligible retail clients up to β¬20,000 per firm in insolvency but excludes professional clients under MiFID II.
