Hantec Trader — Free Add-Ons + 10% OFF (Limited-Time Bundle)

Just got my account at a big discount with hantectrader. Plus my verification went smoothly. Simple rules that focus on risk management and raw spreads is what made me choose hantec. I always read all the faqs before I sign up with a prop. Special thanks to Sumit for his prompt support during my verification. Looking forward to trading at HT!.

Good job Mayuresh for you Swift and comprehensive response to my questions, am satisfied. Good job 👍

I had an outstanding experience with Hantec Trader. During a high-impact news event (CPI), my positions suffered severe market slippage, which triggered an automatic Daily Loss breach. Rather than dismissing the ticket, the Risk and Support teams conducted a thorough, honest, and transparent manual review of the tick data. They identified the liquidity gap, made a fair financial adjustment to my balance, and reinstated my account. This level of technical diligence, integrity, and fairness is rare in the proprietary trading industry. A special thank you to Lloyd for his exceptional assistance, clear communication, and swift follow-up throughout the entire process. Highly recommended!

I understand that Trustpilot has moderation rules, but I have the right to share my views and my genuine personal experience. I am therefore posting my review again.
I previously posted a review about my experience with Hantec Trader, but unfortunately it was removed. I do not know why. I can provide proof of my experience and the accounts I opened.
I opened three accounts:
• Express Challenge – Step 1 – $2,000
• Instant24 – $10,000
• Express Challenge – Step 1 – $5,000
Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing, especially because of the trading commissions.
Before buying a prop firm account, I strongly recommend checking the leverage, commissions, consistency rules, maximum open risk and all other conditions carefully.
In my case, I only realized after purchasing that the leverage on XAUUSD was 1:10. I accept that I should have checked this beforehand, so I acknowledge my mistake on that point.
However, the commissions were a much bigger problem.
Hantec states that the commission for metals is $5 per lot. But the important question is: what does this actually mean in practice?
With XAUUSD, I found that I could only open around 0.01 lot at a time. With such a small position size, generating meaningful profits can require many positions. Every position carries commission, whether it wins or loses.
In my case, I had approximately $156 in trading losses and around $45 in commissions, on an account with a maximum loss of only $200. That is a very significant cost.
The $5-per-lot commission may sound small on its own, but when positions have to be multiplied, the costs can accumulate very quickly.
I would have preferred Hantec to provide a clear practical example before purchase. For example: with a $10,000 account, 1:10 leverage on XAUUSD and 0.01 lot positions, what is the real cost of opening and closing trades, and how much commission can accumulate after multiple trades?
I contacted Hantec Trader Support about the commissions. They explained how the $5-per-lot commission is calculated, but my concern is not simply the calculation. My concern is the practical impact of these costs combined with the leverage, position-size limitations and maximum loss.
Instead of mainly sending promotional emails and market information encouraging customers to buy challenges, I would have preferred clearer information before purchase about these conditions.
To be fair, the free challenges are a good initiative, and credit where credit is due: you are not paying for those.
For paid accounts, however, I strongly recommend doing your own research and understanding exactly what you are buying, especially the commissions, leverage, consistency rules, maximum open risk and position-size limitations.
I am sharing this review simply to describe my genuine experience. I can provide screenshots, account information, trade examples and commission records by email so that everything can be checked properly.
My experience was disappointing, and based on this experience, I would not purchase these accounts again.
