Hankotrade review
The entity behind Hankotrade, its licence, and how to confirm both yourself.
Last checked
Hankotrade is not a broker we would put money with. We are not calling it a fraud, and that distinction matters, but too much about it is unverified or offshore to treat it as safe. Regulated by Unregulated, offering HankoX Web, HankoX Mobile.

Costs matter less than whether you can withdraw, but an offer that looks impossible usually is.
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.
