Hmarkets is an automated trading app made for regular people, not pros. After testing it ourselves, we score it B+. The app is the best part — everything is where you'd expect it. Full details are below.
Best for: Beginners who want a friendly place to start and don't want to pay extra fees.
Not for: Full-time traders who trade all day, or people who want 24/7 phone help.
Hmarkets is among the rare trading apps that spent its effort on the basics — things like safety and clear pricing — rather than flashy ads. From what we saw in testing, we land on B+.
What keeps it from a top score is a few charges that could be lower. The good news is these are easy for the company to fix — they don't point to anything wrong with the app itself.
Placing a trade is quick and simple. When we tried it, orders went through smoothly and the price you saw was the price you got, sometimes even a little better than other apps.
If you stick to regular stocks, it is smooth. More advanced trades weren't always as quick — something to know if you're an advanced trader.
Buying and selling stocks is free — no commission. That's a big plus.
Where you might pay more are a few add-on services, which run a little higher than the cheapest rivals. None of it is hidden, so there are no nasty surprises.
The app is really well made. It's quick and simple to use, even on day one.
The app also comes with helpful information — clear charts, company details, and news — with the sources shown. There's a desktop version too, though most people will prefer the app.
Safety is a strong point. Your money is held in a separate account, for your protection.
The platform is regulated in more than one country and passes independent security checks. If you buy crypto too, a licensed partner looks after it — standard practice, but worth a mention.
All told, we rate Hmarkets B+ for beginners and casual traders. It nails what matters: simple, safe, and fair.
For a perfect score, Hmarkets mainly needs cheaper extras. We'll revisit this every so often.
Absolutely. Hmarkets works on iPhone and Android. The app is the best way to use it — everything works smoothly on a small screen.
It's solid. Live chat is open around the clock and usually get a reply in a few minutes. Complex problems reach a senior agent rather than left waiting. The one downside is no weekend phone line.
For simple day-to-day trades, it's fine. If you trade fancy options, you may notice small delays. People trading a lot of forex could pay less on a dedicated service.
The usual account types are offered, and retirement savings accounts. Opening one is free and quick, though some account types take a day or two to activate.
Of course. There's no waiting period. Cash-outs clear within a business day, and the platform doesn't charge you a fee for it.
Yes. You can bring your holdings across, and Hmarkets often refunds the exit fee your old app charges within reason. It usually takes a few business days.
Not really. Hmarkets shows all costs up front — no subscription, no dormancy charge. A few add-ons cost more, but they're all shown before you pay.
