This is an article about HotForex spreads.
HotForex is a very large company that offers forex services all over the world.
In my opinion, HotForex is the most famous broker in the world.
Recently, HotForex became an official sponsor of the French soccer team “Paris Saint-Germain FC”.
In this article, I will explain the following:
- All spread list of HotForex
- The reason why traders choose HotForex
- How to narrow the spread as much as possible
What is Spread?
The difference between the selling price (Bid) and the buying price (Ask) is called a spread, and this is the actual commission of the Forex broker.
For details on why spreads widen, why spreads change depending on the broker, symbol, and time of day, etc., please refer to the separate article “Low Spread Forex Brokers“.
HotForex Account Types
HotForex has the following three types of accounts.
Micro account, Premium account and Zero spread account.
Micro account and premium account are STP method, and Zero spread account is ECN method.
There are other accounts for specific purposes such as AUTO account and PAMM account, but I will omit them here.
Micro account and Premium account differ only in the number of trading lots, but the trading conditions including spreads are the same.
Since Zero spread account is an ECN account, a transaction fee will be charged separately from the spread, but it is a relatively cheap at $3 one way ($6 round trip) per lot.

The reason why traders choose HotForex
Looking at it this way, HotForex has the narrowest level of metal spreads, but is the spread of currency pairs and others are the nomal level.
However, HotForex is very popular in the world.
This is because it has the following advantages over other forex brokers.
- Max 1:1000 high leverage
- Max $7,000 deposit bonus
- Cashback program (max $8,000)
- Negative protection system, you never be in debt

Financial benefits include bonuses and cash back.
By taking full advantage of this, you can think of the actual spread as a bit narrower.
There are many other benefits as well.
In particular, compared to other brokers, educational content, various tools, services such as VPS are enriched, and these make HotForex a globally popular broker.
HotForex has also expanded into the African continent, has offices, and holds seminars in various African countries.
In Africa, forex and cryptocurrency investment seems to be booming these days, and the fact that to enter the African market is proof that HotForex’s investment capacity as a company is sufficient.
To trade with the narrowest spread as possible
Spreads should be as narrow as possible.
You can trade with a narrower spread by taking the following measures and precautions.
Do not trade during times when spreads widen
Spreads tend to be narrower when there are many trading participants in the market, that is when liquidity is high.
Also when the important economics news and indicators are accnounced, and when if there are big news in the world, spreads tend to widen as well.
You can prevent spreads from widening strangely by trading at the most normal time of day when trading is active.
Take advantage of bonuses
With HotForex, you can get a deposit bonus of up to $7,000 depending on the amount you deposit.
HotForex deposit bonus is 30%.
A 30% bonus will be given depending on the deposit amount.
This means that the spread will be effectively 30% narrower.
By making good use of the deposit bonus in this way, you can narrow the real spread.
Take advantage of cashback program
HotForex has two types of cashback programs.
One is “Self-rebate” and the other is “Loyalty program”.
For Self-rebate, the specified amount will be cashed back according to the amount of trade.
In the Loyalty program, points called HF bars are accumulated every time you trade, and you can exchange them for cash.
In other words, it can be considered that the real spread will be narrowed by the amount of cash back.
For the HotForex bonus program, please refer to the separate article “HotForex | Forex Broker Review“.
Summary
What did you think.
HotForex has the impression that the spread is a little wide depending on the currency pair and other products, but it can be said that it is a broker that can be fully used by taking advantage of deposit bonuses and cashback programs and devising ways to make it as narrow as possible. Isn’t it?
If you are still hesitant to use HotForex, why not open a real account, get deposit bonus and trade for the time being, or try a demo account.
