Comment by Reviewer
"Hantec Markets is suitable if you want a no-frills MetaTrader broker to trade CFDs on stocks, forex, indices, commodities and cryptos. However, its scalping restrictions limit its appeal for certain day traders, while the customer support and educational tools trail the best brokers."	"Binary.com (now Deriv) is a great pick for beginners and advanced traders interested in short-term trading with multipliers and leveraged CFDs. The broker is also a leader in synthetic indices which simulate real market movements and are available around the clock."
Pros
Hantec Markets is a trusted broker, with a track record stretching back to 1990 and authorization from ‘green tier’ regulators, notably the FCA and ASIC. Hantec Markets offers a great range of 8 account base currencies, helping global traders avoid conversion fees while delivering a hassle-free day trading experience. Trading Central integration provides an excellent one-stop-shop for technical, fundamental, economic, sentiment and news analysis, helping users discover short-term trading opportunities. The entry barrier for trading is notably low for beginners, starting from just $100, while deposits are fee-free and can be completed smoothly from the client area. High leverage up to 1:1000 is available for experienced investors in some jurisdictions, amplifying trading results (profits and losses).	Access to a range of interesting markets, including Deriv's proprietary synthetic indices which are derived from simulated markets Strong global reputation with decades of experience in the trading industry Beginners can practise strategies in the demo account with unlimited virtual funds Instant deposit methods with minimum funding as low as $5 Variety of risk management tools including trading limits and self-exclusion protocols Responsive 24/7 customer support via live chat, telephone, email or WhatsApp Sign up for a CFD or Multiplier account in minutes
Cons
There is no proprietary software aimed at newer traders, nor integration with the increasingly popular TradingView and cTrader platforms. Additionally MT5 is not available in certain regions, including the UK. Hantec Markets needs to bolster its investment offering to match category leaders like Blackbull Markets, especially in its breadth of currency pairs and commodities. Testing reveals hit-and-miss support, with 24/5 assistance but a live chat service that times out, making it unreliable for urgent trading issues. The educational tools, consisting primarily of long-form articles, need revamping with interactive elements and videos to match the training materials at IG. Despite reliable order execution, Hantec Markets does not permit scalping strategies, reducing its appeal compared to Pepperstone, whose Razor account is set up for scalpers.

App Review
Hantec Markets doesn’t offer a proprietary trading app. Instead, clients can use the MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5) mobile apps, which are accessible for both Apple and Android devices and mirror the desktop version’s functionality. The lack of a bespoke app means that day traders who are looking for more integrated solutions might find the mobile trading experience lacking, especially since there’s no support for TradingView or cTrader either.	Deriv GO, previously the Binary.com app, offers an easy-to-use interface and various trading instruments, including 24/7 trading in both standard and unique market-simulating indices. It stands out with its fast and reliable chat support, a rare find among competitor apps, providing essential help for new traders.

CFD Trading
Traders have the opportunity to engage in CFD trading across a broad spectrum of assets, including currency pairs, stocks, commodities, bullion (gold and silver), indices, and cryptocurrencies. Experienced traders can access high leverage up to 1:1000 in certain jurisdictions. However, a notable downside is the restriction of scalping strategies which may deter experienced day traders.	Deriv's CFD offering includes 38 forex pairs, 58 stocks, seven indices, 31 crypto pairs and 16 indices, with variable leverage up to 1:30 and tight spreads. The broker also offers CFDs on four synthetic indices, which allow 24/7 trading on customisable levels of volatility, and they are not available elsewhere.

Forex Trading
Hantec Markets offers a limited range of 30+ forex pairs – less than most top brands, including Pepperstone with 100+. That said, market execution is rapid based on tests, and spreads are competitive starting at just 0.2 pips. This, combined with access to the popular MT4 platform with 30+ technical indicators, ensures a relatively complete trading experience for short-term currency traders.	Deriv traders can speculate on 38 major and minor pairs via CFDs on MT4 or 14 majors with the broker's 'multiplier' derivatives via the proprietary trading terminal. This is a decent range of currencies compared to many alternatives.

Cryptocurrency
CFD trading is available across a diverse selection of cryptocurrencies. This range includes not only leading cryptos like Bitcoin and Ethereum but also extends to smaller tokens such as Polkadot. These digital assets can be traded against a variety of global currencies, including the USD, JPY, and MXN, as well as precious metals like gold and silver, marking Hantec out from the majority of brokers who only offer cryptos paired with the USD.	Deriv's 31 crypto CFDs are traded in pairs with USD and leverage up to 1:2. Multipliers are available on the BTC/USD and ETH/USD pairs. We like that crypto traders also get access to the powerful MT5 platform.
