Hantec Trader
Mauritiuswww.htrader.hmarkets.com
Hantec Trader provides a broad selection of 1-Step, 2-Step, 3-Step, and Instant programs, with MT4 and MT5 support and an 80% profit split. The supplied programs include account sizes from $1,000 to $200,000, while total allocation can reach $400,000. Its strengths include multiple funding structures, relatively low entry prices on some accounts, a wide selection of payment methods, and clear payout schedules. Copy trading between the trader's own personal accounts is permitted. The main drawbacks are the firm's relatively short operating history, strict open-risk restrictions, limitations on EAs in Instant Funding, restrictions on funded-stage news trading, inactivity requirements, scalping limitations, and different rule sets across the Instant products. Best suited for traders looking for 1-Step, 2-Step, 3-Step, or Instant funding through MT4/MT5 who are comfortable with strict risk and trading-behavior controls.

Trust & Safety
Hantec Trader was established in December 2023, making it a relatively new participant in the proprietary trading industry. The firm provides multiple funding structures, established MT4/MT5 infrastructure, defined payout policies, extensive payment options, and published trading restrictions. Its connection with Hantec Markets and structured operational framework provide positive signals, but its shorter operating history means it warrants more cautious assessment than long-established prop firms.
- Legal entity
- Hantec Markets Mauritius
- Regulated
- No
Hantec Trader operates as a proprietary trading program rather than a conventional regulated investment account. No specific regulatory license information was stated in the source material.
TraderZone considers Hantec Trader Moderate-High rather than High in trust primarily because of its relatively short operating history. Traders should carefully review the exact rules of the selected 1-Step, 2-Step, 3-Step, or Instant account, particularly the differences in open risk, news trading, EA usage, scalping, weekend holding, consistency, and payout conditions.
Trading carries risk. Evaluation programs like this one involve simulated accounts and non-refundable fees; review the firm’s current terms directly before purchasing. This page is informational and not financial advice.
