HotForex Review

what i want to say is...it is no problem with withdrawing ur profit. Of cause for the case to confirm you are eligible for tading forex, you will required to submit some documents. i did as they asked. and now, i already withdraw my profit for two times. It is no problem at all...Love this broker....

I like this broker, used them for 3 months to try currency trading. Execution of orders is pretty fast at least in manual trading also they charge small commissions. Note that they offer CFD trading it is a special type of trading instrument which is the best option if you want to profit from price fluctuations. Overall I would rate this broker 4 from 5.

I have been trading for a year or so, but before I started trading live accounts, I did like any other newbie trader would do and did some research. Hotforex is my second brokerage, and I was really overwhelmed with all the good feedback I got, from fellow trades and in the web. I might not have enough experience to judge a brokerage, but hotforex been improving a lot since I first joined them, I mean execution are a lot faster, I guess they will be adding some new servers as well (not sure), I have no problems in depositing or withdrawing money. Actually it only takes a couple of hours for me to receive mine and their support team is always there and very professional. I give them 5 stars and I don't think I’ll be transferring anytime soon. All the best!

I got the money thank you hotforex.
Spread is good and platform is fast.

I started trading with hotforex a few months ago and still had a great time with them and I guess here are some of the reasons that I have been trading with them: they have good numbers of pairs to trade, extra bonuses option, timely withdrawals and good execution of orders.

I did faced with some problems initially which were related to my documentation however it was explained and sorted out. I think they might be the best brokers service I ever availed.

No problems withdrawing money. No withdrawal fees. Offer a very convenient ewallet for managing funds. Credit card provided at request. Excellent customer service. Low spreads. What more could you ask for.

hotforex is decent, after two withdrawals and 90days of live trading this is what i got. execution and platform are stable, fast and acceptable. threads are okay, scalping is doable, the addition of crypto is a major plus, from the looks of it its what the madket maybe leaning towards in the future, my last withdrawal amounting to usd1150 wasprocessed to my skrill in less than 48hous. level of security is very acceptable and yes theycan be strict with account verification which is good.

They have good spread, and it’s really good for scalping especially during the asian session, execution can be improved though I think it’s better than other brokers out there, withdrawing to money bookers is easy, it takes a couple of hours as long as you pass the form during office hours. There are times when spreads widen during major news I guess, but that’s normal. I have plans on trying out their pamm accounts, I’ll post another review after a do so, for now I’m pretty much happy earning with hotforex.

I would like to reply to Brandon from Florida below, and offer my own review:

First - HotForex did not lower the leverage to "zero". They acquired a new liquidity provider for Metals in late July and the leverage was lowered to 100:1 instead of 300:1/500:1.


Second - You were not trading "standard lots". In early 2011 HotForex changed their gold and silver lot sizing policy. Originally they were the same as all other brokers: 1 lot = 100 ounces of gold. However, some of their clients were accidentally trading standard lots on gold and freaking out because of the fast-moving prices (gold can easily move over 2,000 pips a day).

So HotForex changed the lot sizing so that 1 lot was actually a micro lot (1 ounce). This was to protect their clients from accidental losses.

You may have traded 2,320 units, but those were micro lots. You actually only traded 23.2 standard lots and HotForex owes you no more than $23.20 of that bonus money. That's why your request for $2,500 was rejected, not because of "tough luck".

HotForex's bonus program is great, but don't expect to earn all of the bonus money in just a few months. The average trader will need to trade for 2-3 years to earn the bonus. Their bonus program offers short-term trading volume for your account while encouraging long-time loyalty and responsible trading activities.

Third - they did send out two emails a week before the policy change, and they sent messages through the Metatrader 4 platform. Their website was also updated to reflect the new policies. The reason you cannot place a trade now is because you're still trying to trade "60.0 lots" and you don't have enough leverage to support a 6,000 ounce position. Try .06 instead.

My Review: I love HotForex. I've been using them since January 2011 and have had a great experience. I currently have 3 live accounts.

Their silver pricing is fantastic (10-cents-per-pip on 1 micro lot) and perfect for our Heavy Metal grid-trading EA (see our Heavy Metal EA live performance test here at FPA).

All of the staff here at Forex Verified have live HotForex accounts and we've all had good experiences. Many of our clients also use HotForex and their experience has been good too.

It is obvious that English is not the first language of their support staff, but they have done a good job overcoming the communication barrier. Don't expect long and detailed replies (such as my reply to Brandon) - they usually respond to inquiries with brief answers and not a lot of details.

For that reason alone, I would rate them 4.5 stars instead of 5. But since "4.5" isn't an option, it is a definite 5-star rating for me. I can deal with a small language barrier to trade at a good broker.

Excellent broker! I trade with HotForex 1 year. Very good support. Now HotForex IB can give their client rebate. Such as HotForex Malaysia (hotforexmy.com), they give their client rebate up to 90%. Really good offer!
