Cost comparisons only hold when the account types are the same, so this compares like with like.

A quoted spread from 0.0 pips is a raw-spread figure, which almost always means a separate commission per lot. Compare the two together - a "zero spread" account with a high commission can cost more than a wider spread with none.

Quoted spreads are best-case figures on the most liquid pair, in normal conditions. What you actually pay widens around news and at the session open.

Hankotrade lists a minimum deposit of $15. Treat it as the cost of opening an account, not the cost of trading one - position sizing on a small balance is what tends to cause damage.

Leverage up to 1:500 is available on this entity. High leverage does not increase your expected return - it increases position size for the same deposit, and shortens the move needed to close you out.

Hankotrade covers forex, indices, commodities, metals, energies, cryptocurrencies. A wider range matters less than depth in the instruments you actually trade.

Funding options: bitcoin, ethereum, litecoin, dogecoin, bitcoin cash, usdt, usdc, trueusd. Check withdrawal routes as well as deposit ones - they are often not the same, and the difference only becomes apparent when you try to take money out.

Questions people ask about Hankotrade

How many instruments can I trade at Hankotrade?

Hankotrade lists 100+, across forex, indices, commodities, metals, energies, cryptocurrencies. A long instrument list is worth little if the ones you actually trade are not on it, so the count matters less than the coverage.

Is Hankotrade a market maker or does it pass orders through?

Hankotrade runs a NDD model rather than making the market itself, so your order goes out to a liquidity provider. It usually shows up as a raw spread with a commission on top instead of a wider all-in price.
