I’ve had a terrible experience with HM Markets. My withdrawal request took over two weeks to process, and their customer support was unhelpful and slow to respond. I feel like I’ve lost control over my funds.

While HM Markets has a decent trading platform, I was disappointed by the lack of educational resources. As a new trader, I found it difficult to get the support I needed to improve my skills.

Overall, my experience with HM Markets has been positive. The mobile app is very convenient, and I love being able to trade on the go. However, I wish they offered demo accounts for practice.
