Flawed auto risk system stole my 16k profit (Account 85023489)
Service use: Live
Length of use: 3-6 Months
Be very careful with Hantec Trader. I made over 16,335.05 USD in net profits on my 200k funded account, but they completely banned me and took my money. They said I violated copy trading rules because my mother also has an account with them and we sometimes use the exact same computer and home internet connection to open positions.
We sent them actual proof from the MT5 server logs showing that our entry times on July 24 had gaps of 3 and 4 seconds (my personal account at 03:18:17, funded at 03:18:21, mom's account at 03:18:24). This is physical proof of manual execution! No automated copy software has a 4-second human delay between trades.
Despite showing clear evidence, a senior manager named Felipe M just sent me a generic copy-paste refusal email, force-closed my open trades, and locked my profile forever. They refunded my initial challenge fee but stole all my hard-earned profits. If you are a profitable trader, avoid Hantec. They will use any false positive algorithm glitch to avoid paying you out.

Predatory practices and fake bans for winning traders
Service use: Live
Length of use: 3-6 Months
I spent money on 7 evaluation accounts with Hantec Trader, but the moment I asked for my first payout, their whole scam came to light. They out of nowhere deducted $2,718 from my profits, making up some excuse about news trading. Because they took that money away, my account suddenly broke their consistency rule. They literally told me that if I wanted to withdraw my remaining balance, I had to keep trading the account to fix the consistency ratio. It was a clear trap, they just wanted me to mess up and blow the account.
I took the risk, went back to trading, made even more money, and fixed the ratio perfectly. When they realized they couldn't get rid of me that way, they sent an email saying they would let me take the remaining cash, but they were banning me permanently for using prohibited strategies. They refused to tell me what rules I broke. Think about it, if my strategy was actually banned, why did they force me to trade more to fix the consistency rule first instead of locking me out right away? They only panicked and banned me because I didn't lose as they expected. They only want people who lose challenges, avoid them.

They hijacked my live trade and wiped out my profits
Service use: Live
Length of use: 0-3 Months
I passed multiple challenges with Hantec Trader and everything was fine until I proved I could make consistent money. My first payout went through without issues because they probably thought I would eventually blow the account. When I requested my second payout, they started playing games, delayed it for a fake review, and made me fight just to get my money.
But the real scam happened after that. I went back to trading on my 200k account and made 3,485 dollars in profit over 4 days. While my fourth trade was actively running open in the market, they literally hijacked my terminal. They forcefully closed my live running trade, did a manual negative adjustment to steal all my profits, and reset my balance straight back to exactly 200,000. Then they locked my dashboard saying my account was breached. When I demanded proof, they sent a generic automated email saying they could not give details due to an investigation. They literally intervened in a live trading session to cancel my gains because they hate paying consistent winners. They just want your challenge fees. Stay away from them and their server.

Hantec Markets & Hantec Trader are a SCAM! They ban profitable traders
Service use: Live
Length of use: over 1 Year
I am writing this to expose Hantec Markets and their prop firm division, Hantec Trader. I bought 4 challenges from Hantec Trader. Everything was perfectly fine while I was paying them evaluation fees. I passed, made a profit, and asked for my first payout. They suddenly asked me to explain my strategy. After I did, they paid me that ONE single payout, and then permanently closed my account and banned me!
It is obvious that Hantec makes money ONLY when traders lose. A legitimate broker lets you withdraw and keep trading your funded account. Hantec just kicks you out after your first withdrawal because they are paying profits out of their own pockets and don't want to lose money to a successful trader. They only want losers to collect challenge fees. If you actually know how to trade, Hantec will ban you. Avoid Hantec Markets and Hantec Trader at all costs!

Problem Solved
Service use: Live
Length of use: over 1 Year
Regarding the complaint I made previously, HMarkets resolved my problem, and the money was credited to my account.
Dec 26, 2025 - 1 Star I've had an account with Hantec for a while, and initially I had no problems with the broker. But on December 19th, I made a small deposit because I intended to test some strategies. The deposit was made via Neteller. However, the amount was not credited to my Hantec account, and worse, Hantec deleted the record of the deposit request from my transaction history. So far, I haven't received a concrete answer regarding my case, despite numerous complaints.

Appalling Customer Service
Service use: Other
Length of use: Have not used
While not a client, I recently contacted Hantec on several occasions via their online chat to enquire about their swap rate on a particular currency pair.
None of the various people (Greg, Violeta) I chatted with were able to answer this extremely basic question. In fact, none of them even understood what a swap rate is.
Greg and Violeta showed their complete ignorance of swap rates by advising they depend on "market conditions". Greg went a step further by advising he was unable to provide this information as it changes by the moment!
Hantec needs to start providing chat staff with basic training so they don't make complete fools of themselves.
As anyone with a basic understanding knows, FX swap rates are a function of the interest rate differential of the relevant currencies, having nothing to do with market conditions.
Even worse, Violeta was quite rude, advising she was "educating" me on the way swap rates are calculated, despite clearly not understanding what a swap rate actually is.
Unsurprisingly, I won't be opening an account with them.

Withdrawal charge without notice
Service use: Live
Length of use: 0-3 Months
I made a withdrawal and I get less money through Skrill, there is no withdrawal fee notice. Thieves, in addition to charging high spreads, also steal part of the withdrawal. It has a much better broker with a low spread and without deceiving the customer.
Aug 25, 2021 - 4 Stars I started using the service, but the spread is too large, it's too expensive to trade currencies

Hi
I trade with this broker in the past but never had this problem.
Last time that i trade with this broker i trade 589 lots. This time i just tarde 7 lots.
I deposit 10k eur with neteller, i trade and when i withdraw 9772 back again with neteller i was charged 440 eur.
So i lost trading, but lost more with the withdraw.
Hantec says that pass the fees that neteller charge but 4.5% fees its ridiculous and abusive, also say that i not meet the min. lots necessary to cover the refund. If they warned about this ridiculous fee i will not withdraw with neteller.
Even i have such a high fee with neteller let alone a broker.
Pay attention to this policy.
