Open HFM Account →HFM, previously known as HotForex, is a multi-regulated forex and CFD group that has operated since 2010.

HFM Nigeria — quick verdict
HFM (formerly HotForex) has been trading since 2010 and is multi-regulated (CySEC, FSCA, DFSA, FCA and others), with MT4 and MT5, 1,000+ instruments and four account tiers starting from a $0 minimum. The trade-off for Nigerian traders: no local licence, so the account sits with an offshore HFM entity, and — as with any leveraged CFD provider — losses can exceed what feels comfortable at 1:2000. Weigh that against real user opinion on Trustpilot before funding an account.
