HF Markets review (ECN STP broker)
HF Markets is an ECN/STP forex broker regulated in Cyprus by the CySEC. HF Markets enables traders to access interbank spreads through the MetaTrader 4 platform.
HF Markets clients car rest assured: they are trading with a broker that's regulated in the EU and that complies with the MiFID directives.
With HF Markets, traders access interbank spreads via the metatrader 4 platform. In addition, HF Markets is positioned as a top forex and CFD brokerage choice for both scalpers and for automated trading systems thanks to the various account types that it offers.
All client accounts are segregated and independently administered by NinetyEast Fund Services Limited, which currently manages over a billion dollars from its worldwide offices. Client funds that are sent to third party liquidity suppliers are therefore first approved by NinetyEast. When a client requests a withdrawal, NinetyEast also processes the request.
