HFM

HFM is a Forex broker supervised by the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Financial Services Authority (SVGFSA), founded in 2010. The HFM Group as a whole holds eight financial licenses, currently expanding its services around the world, mainly in Europe. In May 2022, “HotForex” rebranded into “HFM”.

The feature of HFM is its extensive product lineup. In particular, it has a wide variety of CFD products, and in addition to precious metals, energy, stock indexes, cryptocurrencies, and stocks, ETFs and DMA (direct market access) stocks can be traded with MetaTrader5 (MT5). With DMA stocks, you can trade stocks of companies listed not only in the US, but also in the UK, Germany, and other countries.

HFM offers 4 account types, Premium, Pro, Zero, and Cent, in addition to the Top-up Bonus account, which grants a top-up bonus every deposit. All account types, except the Top-up Bonus account, offer maximum leverages as high as 1:2,000. Swap is also free on all accounts. Unlike other account types, the Cent account has a minimum trade size of 1,000 currency units. This account type is recommended for beginners, EA testers, and others who wish to trade with less risk. The Zero account features a minimum one-way trading fee of $3 and a minimum spread of 0 pips. The small spreads keep trading costs low, making it popular with scalpers. The new Pro account offers the industry's smallest spreads, as low as 0.5 pips, making it a versatile account type for both short-term and long-term trading. The Top-up Bonus accounts have slightly larger spreads, but you will receive a 20% bonus on every deposit you make. There is no minimum deposit requirement for this account type, and bonus earnings can be withdrawn.

As for incentives, there is a 20% deposit bonus, which can be used as margins. A loyalty program is also available where you can receive HFM Bars that can be exchanged for cash. The longer you trade, the more HFM Bars you can earn, which means, the more profitable trading will be.

Trading contests with prizes are held monthly on both demo and real accounts. In addition, you can receive cashback at a certain rate based on the free margin if you meet the conditions of “Return on Free Margin”.

The appeal of HFM is that it is possible to manage the assets of more than 1,000 rich products using various methods with risk diversification in mind. It is a popular international forex broker among traders who want to actively adopt new trading methods such as Expert Advisors (EA) and copy trading.
