Advantages and disadvantages

Every Broker has its pros and cons, let's have a look at the ones that elevate & denounce HF Markets.

To sum up the HF Markets Review

HF Markets adheres to strict regulatory guidelines of the CySEC in Cyprus, DFSA in Dubai, FCA in the UK, FSC in the Republic of Mauritius, FSCA in South Africa and FSA in Seychelles. The broker cannot match the number of CFDs that offer giant brokers like Plus500 or Markets, but 150 is still not bad. Spreads that apply to these assets are also very reasonable. HF Markets allows its clients to use two popular trading platforms; either MT4 or MT5.

Unfortunately, UK traders who open an account with a subsidiary company HF Markets (UK) Ltd, cannot use MT4, only MT5.
