HF Markets / HFM · International product conditions · Checked 10 October 2026

A gold symbol, account label and platform each change what needs checking

HFM's international pages now present XAUUSD247 alongside standard gold CFDs, and advertise InfinityX with unlimited leverage within specified thresholds. Those headlines do not supply a complete order specification. Check the precise symbol, contract size, applicable margin window and account company before comparing a quote or leaving a position open.

Scope: International English product pages, the August 2026 SV risk disclosure and selected July SV agreement clauses. The SVG authority's general licensing clarification was checked independently. Personal eligibility, accepted agreements, live order execution and current account charges were not tested.

The historical 75.60 score and protection inputs await full review. Group licences and a company registration do not establish coverage for every international account.

The international footer is not a personal licence record

The checked international legal directory identifies HF Markets (SV) Ltd and registration 22747 IBC 2015, alongside other group companies. Its currently linked risk disclosure is for the SV company. Obtain the company name in the agreement actually accepted for your account; an English-language page or group logo does not determine the contracting entity.

The SVG authority's February 2026 notice explains that it does not issue forex/brokerage licences or regulate BCs and LLCs for those activities. This is a general jurisdictional clarification within a warning about HorizonCFDs; that warning is not an allegation against HFM. Do not present an SV incorporation number as a forex dealing licence.

FXCN's existing European and South African relations do not identify the licence governing an SV account. Their complete current permissions, your local eligibility and personal compensation rights remain unconfirmed in this English review. Keep the accepted company agreement and relevant register evidence together.

XAUUSD247 is a separate CFD with account-specific units

The 3 September launch announcement presents a seven-day gold CFD, available on HFM App, WebTrader and MT5 for eligible accounts, with scheduled breaks and jurisdictional conditions. A gold CFD is a contractual price exposure; this review does not establish ownership or delivery of bullion.

The specific product table is more useful for identifying units than the launch headline. It lists these selected account columns:

Published specifications checked on 10 October. Confirm the actual account's instrument specification before applying them.
Account columnSymbol and size of one lotSelected margin information
PremiumXAUUSD247; 100 ounces.Published tier table starts at up to 1:2000 for 0–0.1 lots.
CentXAUUSD247c; 1 ounce.Shown in the Premium–Cent tier group; minimum listed size is 0.01 lot.
InfinityXXAUUSD247x; 100 ounces.Unlimited tier is shown only at 0–0.1 lots; the next tier, 0.11–0.25, is 1:1000.

Unit illustration, not an order recommendation: Under those listed sizes, 0.10 Premium lots represent 10 ounces; 0.10 Cent lots represent 0.10 ounce. The same lot number represents a hundredfold difference in quantity. At an assumed $1 adverse price move per ounce, the corresponding price movement is $10 versus $0.10 before spread, financing, conversion and other effects. These are arithmetic examples, not quoted fills or a loss cap.

The specification's tier thresholds also differ from HFM's April InfinityX announcement about the first five lots of metals. Do not transfer that earlier general threshold to XAUUSD247. The page does not settle for this review how tiering is applied across multiple positions or how exposure is aggregated; request the account-specific calculation.

Seven-day access still has breaks and restricted leverage windows

The metals page lists XAUUSD247 weekend hours of 00:00–24:00, while weekday hours have interruptions. It also specifies server time as GMT+3 during its stated summer DST period and GMT+2 in winter. A “24/7” label therefore does not establish uninterrupted execution at every minute. Retain the date, server time and instrument schedule instead of assuming your phone clock uses the same timezone.

The linked August 2026 SV risk disclosure, section 4.2, specifies Gold 24/7 restrictions during major news and from Sunday 23:00 to Monday 02:00 server time: maximum 1:100 for the first five lots and 1:1 for cumulative volume above five. These special windows must be read alongside the symbol's normal tier schedule. Personal application and the interaction with InfinityX are not confirmed here.

The separate general trading-hours page describes weekend carry-over orders executing at the next available market price, depending on liquidity. It is not a promise to fill your stop at its requested price. Its displayed holiday table includes September and 1 October 2026 dates; obtain the notice for the actual date of your order.

  1. Save the full symbol and normal schedule, including breaks.
  2. Check news, weekend and holiday margin notices against server time.
  3. Record current equity, used margin, account setting and aggregate exposure.
  4. Ask for the resulting required margin and whether the rule affects existing positions, new orders or both. A reduced leverage limit does not by itself answer that operational question.

Daily gold financing and swap-free eligibility are separate questions

The metals specification says XAUUSD247 swaps are applied daily, while standard gold follows its stated Wednesday triple-swap arrangement. It also labels the table values as points but describes XAU/XAG swap units as pips per lot. The displayed number alone is insufficient for a cash-charge calculation: confirm the instrument's point/pip value, position size, account currency, sign and effective date. Rates may change daily; no live swap amount is certified here.

The swap-free offer page qualifies eligibility by selected accounts, instruments and holding periods. The rollover policy separately describes possible carry charges for certain arrangements and discretionary withdrawal of swap-free status. Its listed non-Sharia symbols include XAUUSD; the list checked here does not explicitly name XAUUSD247. This omission does not prove either free or charged treatment for a personal account.

Before holding over a charging boundary, retain the accepted swap-free terms, exact symbol, any grace period and the current cash conversion method. Afterward, reconcile trade-level swap entries with the account balance and ask which version and rate produced the amount. A zero commission headline does not settle financing, spread or conversion costs.

Embedded TradingView charts do not identify every trading capability

The checked HFM WebTrader page advertises integrated TradingView charts, account transfers and cross-device updates, with access through an active trading account. Those are provider disclosures, not a live synchronization test. The chart-library owner's documentation distinguishes embedded charts and broker trading libraries from tradingview.com. A chart powered by TradingView does not establish that the same account connects through tradingview.com's broker panel or supports all its scripts and alerts.

HFM's MT4 FAQ also states that an MT4 trading account cannot simply be used to trade through MT5. Compare the actual account number, server, full symbol and order identifier across interfaces. For a change or cancellation, check the order's resulting server status; a moved chart line or an app notification is not a substitute for that record. The XAUUSD247 availability announcement does not list MT4, so confirm eligibility rather than assuming every familiar gold platform supports it.

Free margin does not settle every withdrawal request

Selected clauses 31.2–31.3 of the July 2026 SV client agreement distinguish account categories. For Cent, Premium, Raw, Pro and Pro Plus, the stated post-withdrawal margin-level floors are 150% on weekdays and 300% on weekends or during volatility. The clause does not explicitly list InfinityX; do not extend this list to it without confirmation. Requests can also depend on documentation, remitter and payment method.

Conditional arithmetic: Assume equity is $600, used margin stays at $200, no new price movement or costs occur, and the specified account rule applies. Withdrawing $250 leaves $350 equity, or a 175% margin level. This clears the quoted 150% numerical floor but falls below 300%. It does not establish that the company will accept or pay the request. Zero used margin requires a different check and is not covered by this example.

Separate request submission, company processing, account debit and receipt at the bank. Retain each timestamp and reference. Funding costs, document requests and personal payment status were not tested.

Questions that clarify the next step

Does unlimited leverage mean unlimited loss protection?

No. A margin label describes a funding requirement, not a maximum adverse price movement or guaranteed exit. Confirm the specific tier, special window and accepted protection terms.

Can I copy my XAUUSD settings to XAUUSD247?

Confirm the full symbol, contract size, account category, financing and trading schedule first. The reviewed pages present different hours and margin conditions; matching “gold” in a name is insufficient.

Does a successful internal transfer prove the bank has received my withdrawal?

No. An internal account movement and an external withdrawal have different records. Confirm the external payment reference and actual receipt separately.

Full group permissions, current individual eligibility, accepted InfinityX terms, margin aggregation, cash financing amounts, live platform behaviour, personal withdrawals, insurance/compensation and historical scoring remain pending. This date records a public-source review.
