A market maker broker, HYCM is a subsidiary of the Henyep Group, which has been involved in asset trading for over 40 years, giving potential clients an additional level of confidence in using this broker. Its various companies are regulated by the FCA in the United Kingdom, CySEC in Europe, and the DFSA in Dubai. HYCM offers trading on more than 300 instruments, including Forex, commodities, stocks, ETFs, indices, and over 21 cryptocurrencies, a broader range than is typically seen at other brokers.

HYCM offers three live accounts which are suitable for beginners and more experienced traders. The commission-free Fixed and Classic accounts have a low minimum deposit requirement of only 100 USD, but spreads that start at 1.8 pips and 1.2 pips (EUR/USD) respectively, which is wider than other brokers. However, most traders will be interested in HYCM’s low cost Raw Account, with spreads starting at 0.2 pips on the EUR/USD in exchange for a commission of only 4 USD (round turn) and a reasonable deposit requirement of 200 USD.

Support is offered for both MT4 and MT5 alongside a comprehensive market education suite that is beneficial for traders of all experience levels. However, HYCM’s analysis materials are limited, forcing traders to seek market news elsewhere.
