HFM account types explained (2026)

HFM's spreads: "0.0 pips (Zero), 0.3 pips (InfinityX), 0.6 pips (Pro), 1.4 pips (Premium and Cent)". Its commission: "From $3 per lot (Zero account, $6 round turn per 100,000 units on forex); Premium, Pro, Cent and InfinityX no commission". A "from" spread is the lowest the broker shows, not what you pay most of the time. To compare two accounts fairly, add the spread cost and the round-turn commission for one lot; the cost per lot calculator does it in a few seconds.

• Fewer, longer trades: the spread matters less than swaps and simplicity; a commission-free account keeps the costs in one number.
• Many short trades: the spread is paid on every trade, so a raw-spread account with commission often costs less per lot. Check with the calculator before you decide.
• Small first account: start with the account that has the lowest minimum deposit (HFM: "No minimum deposit (Premium and Cent accounts; Zero $25, Pro $100, InfinityX $500)") and a demo first.

HFM lists: MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, HFM WebTrader, HFM App. Not every account is available on every platform; HFM's account pages say which.

Which HFM company opens your account depends on where you live. If you live in the EU, the UK, Australia, South Africa, Kenya, the UAE or Qatar, our link only goes to a HFM entity licensed for your country, and where there is none we show no link. We show no sign-up links at all in India and in other countries where promoting offshore brokers is not allowed. Check each licence on the regulator's register before you deposit.
