MetaTrader 4 (MT4)
MetaTrader 4 remains HFM's most-used platform among Nigerian clients, largely for its light footprint on lower-bandwidth mobile connections and its long track record running Expert Advisors unattended.
Open HFM Account →MT4 at HFM covers Windows, macOS, browser and mobile, and is the platform most Nigerian clients still default to for Expert Advisor strategies and simple forex/CFD execution, since it runs light on constrained mobile data.
MetaTrader 4 (MT4) at HFM
- Runs on Windows, macOS, browser (WebTrader) and iOS/Android — the mobile app is the more practical daily driver where fixed broadband is patchy.
- 30+ built-in indicators, 9 timeframes and 3 chart types cover most retail technical setups.
- Expert Advisors (MQL4) let a strategy keep watching the market — useful across the time-zone gap to the London and New York sessions, which run late evening into the small hours WAT.
- One login works across HFM's Cent, Zero, Premium and Pro accounts.

Where do I get HFM's MT4?
Windows, macOS, iOS, Android or the WebTrader in a browser — install it, then sign in with the trading-account number, password and server HFM gives you (separate from your client-area login).
Will HFM MT4 run an Expert Advisor unattended?
Yes — MQL4 Expert Advisors and custom indicators are supported, which matters if you want a strategy watching the market through the London/New York overnight hours.
MT4 or MT5 at HFM — which one?
MT5 has more timeframes, order types, a depth-of-market view and a built-in economic calendar; MT4 stays simpler and forex-only. Both sit on the same account and spreads.
