As someone who’s spent years exploring different brokers, it’s crucial for me to know exactly what trading instruments a platform offers before committing funds. With Hicend, I found that their offering is quite specialized. My research showed that Hicend strictly provides access to futures contracts, with a focus on sectors like metals, energy, and chemicals. Notably, there is no availability of forex pairs, stocks, indices, cryptocurrencies, bonds, options, or ETFs. For me, that’s a significant limitation if I want to diversify into global equities or currency trading. However, if my interest centers around commodities and the broader futures markets in China, this broker does offer regulated access, which can be a valuable advantage in terms of legal protections and oversight. The lack of demo accounts made it challenging for me to test these markets risk-free, which is something I always consider when assessing a broker’s suitability. Hicend’s concentration on regulated Chinese futures, combined with their various proprietary and third-party trading platforms, suggests they are best suited to experienced traders who specifically seek exposure to these instrument classes. For anyone like me looking for exposure beyond futures—such as spot forex or stocks—Hicend might not be the right fit. I encourage prospective traders to align instrument availability with their individual trading goals before proceeding.
