This platform is a Ponzi Scheme. Please stay away! 4
Previous Detection : 2025-10-05
  • This broker has been verified to be illegal and all of its licences have expired, and it has been listed in WikiFX's Scam Brokers list. Please be aware of the risk!
  • The platform is a Ponzi Scheme, which refers to the use of "principle of value multiplication". In the form of rolling or static fund circulation, it uses the money of next member to pay to the present one, which is essentially a pyramid scheme with the distinction of hidden, deceptive and socially harmful. By calling common person's desire for money, fraudsters in the platform begin raising funds underground. Since this kind of platform mostly will abscond after 1 or 2 years, the fund-raising mode just can exist less than 3 years.

    Spreads & Commissions

    HTFX offers a structured approach to spreads and commissions that caters to the needs of different types of traders through its varied account options.

    Account TypeSpreadCommission
    CentFrom 1.4 pips0
    Standard
    ECNFrom 0.0 pips$7/lot

    For those using the Cent and Standard accounts, HTFX provides a spread starting from 1.4 pips, with no commission charges, making these accounts ideal for newcomers or those who prefer straightforward trading costs.

    In contrast, the ECN account is tailored for more experienced traders who can handle tighter spreads and are looking for more direct market access. This account offers spreads from as low as 0.0 pips, which can significantly enhance trading efficiency by reducing the cost of trading on price movements. However, this benefit comes with a commission cost of $7 per lot, which compensates for the ultra-low spread environment and is typical for ECN accounts that provide closer to market prices.

    Copy Trade & PAMM

    HTFX provides innovative trading solutions such as Copy Trade and PAMM (Percentage Allocation Management Module), catering to a diverse range of traders with varying levels of expertise and commitment.

    The Copy Trade service allows less experienced traders or those with limited time to automatically replicate the trades of more seasoned traders. This feature not only simplifies the trading process but also provides an opportunity to learn from successful strategies.

    Copy Trade

    On the other hand, the PAMM service is designed for investors interested in having their funds managed by professional traders. This system pools money from multiple investors into a single managed account, traded by a skilled manager who allocates gains, losses, and fees according to each investors share in the pool.

    PAMM

    Both services offer robust platforms for those looking to either tap into the expertise of others or invest in a managed portfolio, thus broadening the scope of investment opportunities available through HTFX.
