HFM Launches Copy Pro

CySEC-regulated retail broker HFM has announced an expansion of its copy trading services with the introduction of the “Copy Trading Pro Account.”

This new account aims to attract experienced retail traders by allowing users to follow and automate trades from more skilled investors. Alongside this, HFM is adding the Japanese yen as a new base currency and enhancing features for African traders.

The Pro Account builds on HFM's existing copy trading tool, HFcopy, and provides additional options for strategy providers. While the announcement suggests that HFM's copy trading service is similar to those offered by other brokers, Finance Magnates sought clarification from Chrystanthos Kanari, HFM's Head of Marketing.

Kanari confirmed that the introduction of the Japanese yen and the expanded features for South African and Kenyan investors are key components of this update.
