HFM MT4 & MT5 (MetaTrader)
HFM (HF Markets) supports MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5), plus HFM WebTrader in the browser. This page shows how to download the platforms, log in correctly (using your trading account number and the right HFM server), and choose between MT4 and MT5.
It's an independent guide with affiliate links, not the official HFM. Forex/CFD trading is high risk — most retail accounts lose money.
In short: HFM works on MT4, MT5 and WebTrader across desktop, web and mobile. You log in to the terminal with your numeric trading account number, trading password and the correct HFM server (all found in My HFM) — which is different from your Client Area email login. Download links, login steps and MT4-vs-MT5 tips are below.

MT4 vs MT5 — which to pick?
MT4 is the long-standing standard, lightweight and popular for forex with EAs (expert advisors). MT5 is newer, with more timeframes, more order types, an economic calendar and broader asset support. Both work with HFM; if you're unsure, MT4 is a simple start, while MT5 suits traders who want more tools. You can use either with your HFM account.

How to log in to MT4 / MT5 (HFM)
- 1
Open MT4/MT5 → File → Login to Trade Account.

- 3

ℹ️ Your MT4/MT5 login (account number + trading password + server) is different from your My HFM Client Area login (email + password). Find your account number and server in My HFM.
HFM WebTrader & mobile (no install)
If you don't want to install anything, HFM WebTrader runs MetaTrader in your browser — handy on a work computer or when the site is otherwise accessible. On phones, the HFM app and the standalone MetaTrader apps both let you trade on the go. WebTrader is also a useful fallback if a desktop install has issues; you log in with the same trading account number and server.
Key MetaTrader features
- Real-time charts, indicators and multiple timeframes.
- Pending orders, stop loss and take profit for risk management.
- Expert Advisors (EAs) for automated strategies (MT4/MT5).
- MT5 adds an economic calendar, more order types and more assets.
