Traders Reviews
All my deposit has been wiped out in 1 night.
2016-05-10 No Rating I have been trading with Hotforex for a few months now. At first, the customer service was really good and they used to solve my issues really fast. So, I decided to open an account with them.
However, unfortunately slowly things got weird after I traded a news which resulted in a bit over than 10k profit for me. Immediately, I received an email that my account has been flagged by their system and my bonus will be taken away. Well, my bonus got removed from my account with no explanation even though I emailed them. Following that, on the next day I traded with my usual strategy, but this time my positions was executed with no profit or lost. But, again i received an email from them that my leverage will be decreased from 1:400 fixed spread account to 1:100 without any explanation which I found very frustrating.
However, I carried on and did another trade with them and as I am a news trader I opened two positions following US-Unemployment rate and I experienced terrible slippage. In addition, it took more than 30 seconds for my position which was on profit to be closed. Anyway, my position ended up from positive 1000+ to negative 1840 hitting my stop-loss.
During these few months of trading, I have never experienced such a huge slippage and slow execution with them. Luckily I have recorded my trades and have it available.
I would be more than happy to give to anyone of you if you wish to have a look.
Now I am waiting on my withdrawal request, and the worst part is that they have sent me three emils so far cancelling all three of my withdrawal requests and in their last email they came up with this excuse that i need to submit my passport again as a proof of identity which i found very unnecessary. So I would like to tell all of you out there base on my experience that surly HotForex did not act as a true ECN broker and they are not happy with the clients those who profit.
I really hope i get my Money back from them and I don't wanna judge too early but my pervious withdrawal requests were completed immediately. Now my only choice is to wait.
I will keep ya all posted regarding my withdrawal request.
At that time they changed their deposit/withdrawal system by forcing Euro-clients to convert all amount into US dollars. This is probably due to the fact that their finances are not based in Europe.
This results for example in conversions fees and higher bank wire fees for withdrawals.
My experience:
I was charged with 40 € fees for a withdrawal of 2000 €
I was charged with high conversion fees for withdrawal on a neteller account, because the amount was converted from Euro to US dollars and then from US dollars to Euro
Depositing through "Sofort Banking" (which should be credited immediately) was credited to my account 2 working days after depositing
2016-04-12 No Rating Came to this broker because its bonus program, hotforex offers various bonus programs and webinar regularly. I then deposit to start trading with Zero account type. Its spread in E/U pair was very low about 0.2 - 0.5 pip, gold is higher but not too much. Fast execution and no requotes. Totally satisfied with this broker.
