HFM(formerly HotForex)'s copy tradingservice allows you to open a dedicated copy account and automatically replicate the trades of other traders, known as strategy providers, into your own account. While the official website calls it "copy trading," the member page and official blog still use the old name, "HF Copy." There are no usage fees;you only pay a success fee (up to 50%) set by the provider when you make a profit.
The June 2026 version of the terms of service includes a "fixed leverage" option, which allows you to set the number of lots to copy at a fixed multiplier.Previously, it was said that it could only be used with MT4 and that the leverage was 500x, but now it can be used with MT4, MT5, andHFMapp, with a maximum leverage of 1,000x (excluding cryptocurrency CFDs).
This articleHFMcopy trading, the conditions for copy accounts, how lot sizes are determined, how success fees are calculated, how to start and stop trading, and how to choose a strategy, based on the copy trading page and glossary on the HFM official website, the Copy Trading Agreement (June 2026 version), and information published on the officialHFM.In the section on strategy selection, we also introduce data compiled by our editorial team from the official list of strategies.
Conclusion | Key Points ofHFMCopy Trading
- A separate copy account is required in addition to your regular account. There are three types: CopyCent (from $10), CopyPremium (from $25), and CopyPro (from $100), and you can only follow strategies of the same type.
- The service is free to use; the only costs are success fees and spreads. The success fee is calculated by multiplying the profit minus losses by the provider's rate (up to 50%). No fees are charged until losses are recovered.
- The lot size is determined by either a "proportional multiplier" or a "fixed multiplier." The stop-loss level (rescue level) can be set up to a maximum of 50% of the effective margin at the time of deposit or withdrawal.
- Don't choose based solely on profit margin ranking. Of the top 24 profit margins in the official list, 18 had a maximum drawdown of 50% or more (compiled by our editorial department on October 16, 2026).

How HFM's copy trading (copy trading) works
HFM's copy trading involves "followers" who copy trades and "strategy providers" who allow others to copy their trades. The official website explains that following a provider means "the platform will reflect those trades in your account in real time." You can be both a follower and a provider
| item | Followers | Strategy Provider |
|---|---|---|
| role | Copy the provider's transactions to your own account | Let your followers copy your trades |
| Transactions you conduct yourself | New orders cannot be placed (only closed copied positions are available) | You can trade yourself (you can also use EAs) |
| Flow of money | We will pay a success fee once a profit is made | Receive a success fee (up to 50%) from your followers' earnings |
| Account to use | Follower account (copy account) | Strategy Provider Account (Copy Account) |
Furthermore, the terms of service state that this service is not an asset management tool and does not constitute investment advice or portfolio management services. There is no guarantee that the provider's past return rates will continue in the future, andthe ratio of profits and losses between the provider and followers may not be the same.
There are three types of copy accounts (Cent Premium Pro)
To start copy trading,HFMeven if you already have a regularyou will need to open a separate account specifically for copy trading(official FAQ). There are three types of copy accounts that use the same instrument conditions as the regular Cent account, Premium account, and Pro account (official website).
| item | Copycent | Copy Premium | Copy Pro |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum deposit amount (followers) | $10 (1,000 US cents) | $25 | $100 |
| Minimum deposit amount (provider) | $25 (2,500 US cents) | $100 | $100 |
| spread | From 1.4 pips | From 1.4 pips | From 0.6 pips |
| Transaction fees | none | none | none |
| 1 lot | 1,000 units of currency | 100,000 currency | 100,000 currency |
| Trading products | FX and Gold | FX, indices, gold, energy, silver, crypto assets | FX, indices, gold, energy, silver, crypto assets |
| Maximum leverage | 1,000 times | 1,000x leverage (excluding cryptocurrency CFDs) | 1,000x leverage (excluding cryptocurrency CFDs) |
| Maximum transaction size | 1,000 cent lots per position (6,000 cent lots total for the account) | 60 lots per position (no account-wide limit specified) | 60 lots per position (no account-wide limit specified) |
| Maximum number of simultaneous positions | 300 | 300 | 300 |
| Margin Call / Stop Loss | 50%／20% | 50%／20% | 50%／20% |
| Account currency | US cents, Yen | US dollar/Japanese yen | US dollar/Japanese yen |
| Trading Tools | MT4, MT5, WebTrader, App | MT4, MT5, WebTrader, App | MT4, WebTrader, and App (MT5 is not listed on the account statement) |
Follower accounts canonly follow accounts of the same type of provider(CopyCent to CopyCent, CopyPremium to CopyPremium, CopyPro to CopyPro). The minimum deposit for followers can be changed by the provider and is displayed on each strategy's page. According to the official blog, from August 2026, cryptocurrency CFDs (all 27 instruments) will also be available for trading with CopyPremium and CopyPro. The leverage for cryptocurrency CFDs is fixed at 200x according to the table on the official blog. On the other hand,KATANA accounts do not support copy trading.
According to the official blog, the maximum leverage for copy accounts decreases in stages depending on the total effective margin of the provider account and all follower accounts (revised July 16, 2026). Copy Premium and Copy Pro offer 500x leverage for a total of $300,000 to less than $500,000, decreasing in stages to 200x and 100x, while Copy Cent offers 500x leverage for $50,000 or more (no reduction while the margin maintenance ratio is below 200%). The determination is made based on the total amount of funds from all followers, so strategies that have attracted a lot of funds may qualify even if your own deposit is small
The number of accounts that can be opened and the number of people that can be followed with one account
There is a limit to the number of copy accounts you can open, depending on the account type.one follower account can only follow one provider at a time, you will need to open multiple follower accounts if you want to distribute funds across multiple strategies.
| Account (table on the official blog) | Copycent | Copy Premium | Copy Pro |
|---|---|---|---|
| Follower Account | MT4: 10 accounts / MT5: 5 accounts | MT4: 10 accounts / MT5: 10 accounts | MT4: 10 accounts / MT5: 10 accounts |
| Provider account | MT4: 5 accounts / MT5: 3 accounts | MT4: 5 accounts / MT5: 5 accounts | MT4: 5 accounts / MT5: 2 accounts |
You can also follow the same provider from multiple follower accounts. According to the terms and conditions, you can have up to 200 followers per provider account (unless otherwise agreed upon withHFM), although the official website's table indicates a range of 200 to 1,000 followers
Usable with MT4, MT5, andHFMapps
The official FAQHFMstates that copy trading is available onHFMmany articles explained that "MT4, MT5, and mobile app." Previously, " copy trading is only available on MT4," but it is now also available on MT5 . However, the table of copy trading accounts on the official website does not list MT5 as a trading tool for the Copy Pro account. If you want to use MT5 with Copy Pro, please check if it is available on the account opening screen. Instructions on how to log in to MT4 and MT5 are explained in " HFMHow to use MT4 with " and " HFMHow to use MT5 with ."
How the number of copies to be made is determined (proportional multiplier and fixed multiplier)
Even if your provider places an order for 1 lot, it doesn't necessarily mean that 1 lot will be deposited into your account. The number of lots copiedthe copy method you choose when following (proportional multiplier or fixed multiplier). The Terms of Service were revised in June 2026, with the "Calculation of Trade Size" section being updated to include the fixed multiplier option.
Proportional multiplier: Automatically adjusts according to the margin ratio
With proportional multipliers, the lot size is automatically determined based on the ratio of your effective margin to that of your provider. The calculation formula on the official website is as follows:
Copy ratio = (Follower's effective margin ÷ Provider's effective margin) × Volume allocation × (Follower account leverage ÷ Provider account leverage)
Volume allocation is the percentage chosen by the follower. In the example from the official FAQ, if the provider's effective margin is $1,200, you have $400, and your volume allocation is 80%, then the provider's 0.15 lot order will be copied as 0.04 lots (400 ÷ 1,200 × 80% × 0.15 lots ≈ 0.04 lots)
| Followers (effective margin/allocation) | Provider 1 lot | 0.5 lots | 0.1 lot |
|---|---|---|---|
| $400, 100% | 0.08 lot | 0.04 lot | 0.01 lot (*) |
| $400, 50% | 0.04 lot | 0.02 lot | 0.01 lot (*) |
| $10,000 - 100% | 2 lots | 1 lot | 0.2 lots |
With proportional multipliers,the copy ratio is recalculated every time the margin in either account increases or decreases. As your own funds decrease, the lot size also decreases, making it suitable for people who want to automatically adjust their risk according to their funds.
Fixed multiplier: Determined by the provider's lot size multiplied by the multiplier
With a fixed multiplier, your trades are copied in lots equal to the provider's lot size multiplied by your chosen multiplier , regardless of your margin . According to the official glossary, the multiplier can be selected from 25% to 1,000%, with a default value of 100%. If the provider places an order for 1 lot, a 50% multiplier will result in 0.5 lots, and a 200% multiplier will result in 2 lots.
Fixed leverage is only available if the provider has enabled it for their strategy . While it makes it easier to predict lot sizes, it's important not to set the leverage too high relative to your capital , as the lot size won't decrease even if your capital decreases . Even with the same leverage as the provider (100%), if you have less capital than the provider, the risk to your account will be greater than that of the provider.
Transactions that are not copied and handling of fractional amounts
- Positions you held before you started following will not be copied. Only new positions opened after you started following will be copied.
- If the calculation result is less than the minimum lot size or more than the maximum lot size for the account, the minimum or maximum lot size will be used only after approval and confirmation by a follower
- The lot size is rounded to the nearest 0.01 (e.g., 0.124 lots becomes 0.12 lots, 0.127 lots becomes 0.13 lots)
- If the follower's account has insufficient funds, the transaction will not be copied
- When the market moves suddenly, or when the provider has already settled the transaction, the order may not be copied, or the order may be executed at a different price than the provider's
Therefore, even if you copy the same strategy,your profit and loss may not match the provider's performance. The terms and conditions also state that the limit, stop, take-profit, and stop-loss orders set by the provider are not visible to follower accounts.
HFMCopy Trading Fees (Success-Based Fees) and Rescue Levels
According to the official FAQ,there is no fee to participate in copy trading. Followers are only responsible for the success fee (performance fee) paid to the provider and trading costs such as the spread on the copy account.
Success fees are only paid when a profit is made (up to 50%)
The success fee rate is determined by the provider when you open your account, with a maximum rate of 50%, andcannot be changed later. The rate is published on each strategy's page. The calculation formula and example are as follows:
Success fee = (Follower gains - Follower losses) × Provider's rate
| Rate | profit | loss | Payment of success fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20% | $1,000 | $0 | $200 |
| 25% | $1,000 | $500 | $125 |
| 30% | $1,000 | $1,200 | $0(No payment due to negative balance) |
The success fee is calculated using the "high-water mark method." The official glossary explains that if there is a period of losses, the provider "must generate enough profit to cover the losses" before receiving any compensation. In other words,once a loss is incurred, no success fee is charged until that loss is recovered.
The terms and conditions state that the provider can choose to pay daily, every Saturday, at the time of withdrawal, or from the time of unfollowing (the glossary states "payments are made every Saturday").If you unfollow, any unpaid success fees will be deducted at that time.
Rescue level: Determine the level at which losses will stop
The rescue level is the percentage of funds you want to protect in case of losses.When the effective margin in your follower account falls to this level, all positions will be closed, and the remaining funds will no longer be used for trading. According to the terms of service, you can set the rescue level up to a maximum of 50% of your effective margin at the time of deposit or withdrawal, and you can only set or change it at the time of deposit or withdrawal.
For example, if you deposit $1,000 and set the rescue level to 20%, the copy will stop when your effective margin reaches $200. However, the terms and conditions state thatif the market moves suddenly, the rescue may be triggered above or below the expected amount. Do not be overconfident in this as a limit on losses, and keep your deposit amount within a range you are willing to lose.
Transaction costs: Spreads on copy accounts
Copy accounts do not incur trading fees, but they do incur spreads. According to the table on the official website, CopyCent and CopyPremium spreads start at 1.4 pips, while CopyPro starts at 0.6 pips. Since a spread is charged for each copied trade, strategies with a high number of trades will incur higher costs . The spreads for regular accounts are compared using " HFM's spreads "
How to Start and Use HFMCopy Trading (Follower Procedure)
The process for starting copy trading as a follower is a three-step process according to the official website: "Register withHFM→ Choose a provider to follow → Start copying." We will explain this in detail, following the follow procedure outlined in the official FAQ
STEP 1: Register for anHFMaccount (myHF)
Copy trading isHFMavailable throughHFMrequire you to be approved as an member page (myHF). The terms of service client to use the service. If you don't have an account yet, please register and complete identity verification first. The procedure is explained in "How to Open an HFMAccount "
STEP 2: Select a strategy from the copy trading menu
Log in to myHF and open "Follow Strategy" from the "Copy Trading" menu (called "HF Copy" in the official blog instructions). A list of strategies you can follow will be displayed. The list can be sorted by profit margin, maximum drawdown, number of followers, and risk score, and you can also switch the time period (all, this week, 1 month, 3 months, 1 year). Each strategy has a designated account type (Cent, Premium, Pro), and the follower account will be of a corresponding type . How to choose will be explained in a later chapter
STEP 3: Deposit money into the follower's account
Once you've chosen a strategy, select "Follow" and deposit funds into your follower account. If your deposit amount does not meet the minimum deposit requirement for that strategy, a screen prompting you to deposit funds will appear. The official blog advises that if you receive an error even though your deposit amount is sufficient, you should transfer funds between your My Wallet (wallet account) and your account. For instructions on how to deposit funds into myHF, please see " HFMHow to Deposit Funds into "
STEP 4: Choose the copying method and lot size
If both methods are available in that strategy, choose the copying method (proportional or fixed scaling). For proportional scaling, set the volume allocation; for fixed scaling, set the scaling factor (25% to 1,000%). If it's your first time,start with a small scaling factor and allocation, check the actual number of lots being copied, and then adjust accordingly.
STEP 5: Set the rescue level and begin following up
Finally, you set a rescue level (up to 50% of your effective margin at the time of deposit) and confirm your follow. Once you follow,any new orders placed by the provider from that point onwardwill be copied to your follower account. You can close the copied positions yourself, but you cannot modify their contents or place new orders in your follower account.

How to choose HFMstrategy
When selecting a strategy, we don't just consider profit margin rankings; we also examine maximum drawdown, operating period, and recent performance. The official strategy list (ranking) can be sorted by profit margin, maximum drawdown, number of followers, and risk score. On October 16, 2026, our editorial team compiled the data for the top 24 strategies displayed in descending order of profit margin across all time periods in the list
Don't choose based solely on profit margin ranking
| Aggregation items | Number of items (out of 24) |
|---|---|
| Maximum drawdown of over 99.7% (almost total loss) | 8 bottles |
| Maximum drawdown of 50% or more | 18 bottles |
| Maximum drawdown less than 30% | 3 bottles |
| Risk score 1 | 19 shots (13 of which had a maximum drawdown of 50% or more) |
Even if profit margins are displayed as several thousand to several hundred thousand percent,18 out of the top 24 strategies had previously experienced periods where they lost more than half of their capital. Eight strategies even had maximum drawdowns of 99.7% or more. A high profit margin does not necessarily mean that the results can be directly replicated.
The risk score is "compared to other providers."
According to the official glossary (English version), the risk scoreto an individual provider compared to all other active providers. Factors considered include daily return volatility, capital allocated to trades, and the duration of operation in copy trading, with 5 representing the most volatile and 1 representing the least volatile.it is not a number that represents the maximum drawdown itself, as shown in the summary above, there are strategies with a risk score of 1 that have experienced large drawdowns.
6 things to check before following someone
| Items to check | Points to look at |
|---|---|
| Maximum drawdown | What was the maximum percentage lost in the past? The official blog uses 25-30% as a guideline |
| Operating period | Check the "When did it become active?" section in the list. For official blogs, aim for 200 days or more. However, avoid those that have been active for a long time but whose performance has been steadily declining |
| Recent results | Switch the time period to "1 month" or "3 months" and check if profits have been generated recently and if trading has stopped |
| Success fee rates and minimum deposit amounts | The commission rates will not change, so first check what percentage of profits you will pay. The minimum deposit amount varies depending on the strategy |
| Details of the transaction | Is this a strategy of continuously increasing the lot size even when unrealized losses occur (averaging down/martingale)? Let's look at the holding time and lot size changes |
| Account types | One of the following: Saint Premium Pro. Follower accounts will be the same type, but the minimum deposit and spread will change |
While a large number of followers can be a useful indicator, the official blog warns that some strategies with many followers may have stalled trading.Meeting any of these criteria does not guarantee future profits. Start with a small amount and decide whether to increase your capital after seeing the actual results of the copy trading.
