Conditions from official sources
| Item | Details | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Zero account | Spreads from zero on specified forex symbols, market execution, plus commission (for example USD 6 round turn per 100,000 units on the listed pairs). Raw spreads apply only to certain symbols. | [E5] |
| Minimum deposit | The summary table says USD 0 and an FAQ on the same page says USD 25. The page is internally inconsistent, so this value is marked "verify at registration". | [E5] |
| Copy Trading | Followers can copy a Strategy Provider using proportional or multiplier methods where supported; the provider may receive a performance fee; users can set parameters and stop copying | [E6] |
| Entities | HF Markets (UK) Ltd is listed as authorised and regulated by the UK FCA (FRN 801701) alongside other group companies. This does not mean a user in every country contracts with the UK entity. | [E4] [E6] |
HFM’s international site lists several account types and platforms. Its Zero Account page describes spreads from zero on specified forex symbols, market execution and commission charges. The same page’s summary table shows a USD 0 minimum opening deposit, while an FAQ on the page states a USD 25 minimum deposit. Because the official page is internally inconsistent, this profile marks the minimum deposit as **verify at registration** rather than selecting one figure. The page also states that raw spreads apply only to certain symbols and swap-free conditions have restrictions. [E5]
HFM’s Copy Trading service lets a follower copy a Strategy Provider’s trades, with proportional and multiplier copying methods available where supported. The provider may receive a performance fee under the relevant conditions. HFM’s own page says users retain account controls, including the ability to set parameters and stop copying. Copy trading does not remove market risk or make past returns predictive of future results. Review the copy-trading terms and strategy-specific risk metrics before connecting an account. [E6]
The HFM website is operated by a group of entities. The international homepage lists HF Markets (UK) Ltd as authorised and regulated by the UK FCA under FRN 801701, alongside other group companies. That does not establish that a user in every country will contract with the UK entity. HFM lists jurisdictional restrictions; identify the entity in the user’s registration path. [E4] [E6]
The video discusses leverage, account tiers, copy trading and an alleged “professional setup.” This page does not endorse its account-routing, “A-book/B-book,” bonus, market-volume, stop-out or leverage claims. Those details are not established by the cited official account and copy-trading pages. High leverage magnifies losses as well as exposure; compare the actual account terms rather than relying on the maximum headline leverage.
What to compare before applying
- Which legal entity and regulator apply to your residence
- How costs are measured: spread, commission (per side or round turn), swaps and funding
- Which account, platform and symbol the quoted terms apply to
- Whether your country is eligible, and which restrictions apply
- Whether the page’s figures still match the current official source
FAQ
What is the HFM Zero account commission?
The official page lists round-turn commission examples, including USD 6 for 100,000 units on the listed currency pairs. Verify the current account and symbol schedule. [E5]
What is the minimum Zero account deposit?
The page has conflicting statements—USD 0 in the table and USD 25 in its FAQ. Confirm in the current registration flow before publication or application. [E5]
How does HFM Copy Trading work?
Followers can copy Strategy Providers using supported proportional or multiplier methods. Fees and terms depend on the service agreement. [E6]
Which HFM entity will provide my account?
The entity can depend on residence and registration. Check the client agreement; the group homepage is not a universal contract. [E4]

Seven-axis information-transparency score
Editorial score for how clear and comparable the provider’s published information is. It is not a rating of safety, regulation, profitability, legal approval or suitability for you, and it is not a recommendation or ranking.
An editorial score has not been published for this provider yet. No value has been estimated.
How the score works
- Each axis is an integer from 0 to 10; an axis with no basis is null and shown as N/A, never 0.
- All seven axes carry equal weight; the overall value is shown only when at least 80% of axes are valid.
- Brokers and prop firms are never ranked together; the score is not an ordering of recommendations.
- Scorecard version 1.0, as of 2026-10-15. Changes are logged with version, date and reason.
