Hantec Markets offers MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MT5, industry-standard platforms with advanced charting and automated trading.

Both Libertex and Hantec Markets are regulated by the local financial regulator, ensuring compliance with Haitian financial laws. Libertex holds additional licenses from CySEC (Cyprus), while Hantec Markets is regulated by the FCA (UK) and FSA (Saint Vincent). For Haiti traders, local regulation means deposits are segregated and disputes can be handled locally. However, neither broker offers Haiti-specific investor compensation beyond standard segregation.
