How to claim the HFM 100% deposit bonus in four steps

  1. 01
    Complete account verification

    Deposits made into the bonus account before verification is complete do not receive the 100%. Submit your documents in myHF and wait for approval before continuing.

  2. 02
    Open a Top-Up Bonus account

    Open an MT4 or MT5 Top-Up Bonus account in myHF. Premium, Pro, Zero and other account types are not eligible. If you already hold a Top-Up Bonus account, your first deposit or transfer during the period qualifies.

  3. 03
    Deposit or transfer during the period

    Deposit directly into the Top-Up Bonus account or transfer from the myHF Wallet. Once processed, 100% (up to JPY 45,000) is credited automatically.

  4. 04
    Confirm the credit in myHF

    Check the status under Promotions → Available bonuses in myHF. Start trading once the credit is confirmed.

Note for existing clients

Only the first deposit or transfer during the period qualifies. Amounts deposited into a Top-Up Bonus account before 3 September 14:00 are not eligible, and if a deposit during the period counts as a second or later deposit, the standing 20% applies instead.

How it differs from the standing 20% deposit bonus

HFM 100% Deposit Bonus versus the standing 20% Deposit Bonus
Item100% Deposit Bonus (limited time)Top-Up 20% Deposit Bonus (standing)
Rate100% of the first deposit20% on every deposit
CapJPY 45,000USD 5,000 in total
Period3 Sep 14:00 – 17 Sep 23:59 JSTUntil HFM ends or changes it
Eligible depositFirst deposit or transfer during the periodEvery deposit into the eligible account
Eligible accountTop-Up Bonus accountTop-Up Bonus account
Deduction on withdrawalSame percentage as the withdrawalSame percentage as the withdrawal

Both never apply to the same deposit: the first deposit during the period receives 100%, later deposits receive 20%.

A first deposit of JPY 45,000 receives JPY 45,000 of bonus, giving JPY 90,000 of margin. The same deposit under the standing 20% would receive JPY 9,000. Amounts above the JPY 45,000 cap do not receive the 100%, so if you plan to deposit more during the period, one approach is to make the first deposit around JPY 45,000 and add the rest later under the 20%.

What happens to the bonus when you withdraw

The bonus cannot be withdrawn. Profit made with it can, but withdrawing from the account removes the same percentage of the bonus: withdraw 30% of the balance and 30% of the bonus is removed. This is the common Top-Up Bonus rule and applies to the 100% bonus as well.

The bonus counts as margin and can absorb losses, but it can be lost entirely. Under the standing terms, a bonus account with no deposits, withdrawals or trades for 60 days may be closed without notice, and the bonus and unrealised profit may be lost.

Top-Up Bonus account conditions and cautions

The Top-Up Bonus account has spreads from 1.4 pips, no commission, maximum leverage of 1:1000*, no minimum deposit, a minimum trade size of 0.01 lot, USD, EUR or JPY as account currency, and supports MT4, MT5, WebTrader and the HFM app. Leverage is lower than the 1:2000 available on Premium, Pro and Zero accounts.

  • Deposits made before verification is complete are not eligible for the 100%
  • Only the first deposit or transfer during the period qualifies, capped at JPY 45,000
  • The bonus cannot be withdrawn and is removed in proportion to withdrawals
  • The Top-Up Bonus account differs from other accounts (1:1000 leverage, not swap-free eligible)
  • Hedging across internal or external accounts, multiple-account participation and arbitrage lead to bonus removal
  • HFM may change or end the offer; check the myHF display before depositing
Other HFM promotions at the same time

HFM is scheduled to run its Gold Mission from the afternoon of 7 September to 25 September, a prize draw based on gold trading volume, and offers the standing Bonus Hunter with JPY 45,000 in no-deposit trading funds. Each has its own terms, separate from the 100% deposit bonus.
