From my direct review and careful assessment of HCFX, I have to note that there is a frustrating lack of clarity about the nature of their spreads—specifically whether they are fixed or variable. As a trader who values transparency and strong regulatory oversight, this gap in basic service detail instantly raises caution for me. Given that HCFX’s primary focus seems to be institutional FX and hedging solutions rather than standard retail trading accounts, it’s likely they operate with variable spreads, which is common in that segment. However, my experience underscores a critical point: when a broker’s regulatory licenses from the UK’s FCA have lapsed—recorded as “Exceeded” for both payment and investment advisory permissions—one must assume heightened risk, especially in volatile market conditions. In my professional experience, during high-impact news events, variable spreads can widen significantly, sometimes to levels that can surprise even veteran traders. Without solid current regulation and clear communication about their spread model, I would be extremely wary. For anyone considering trading during news events with HCFX, the lack of robust regulatory protection, coupled with uncertainties around spread handling, means I personally would proceed with a strong degree of caution and would seek out more transparent and better-regulated alternatives for my own trading.
