HYCM

The main advantage for me was that company offers joint accounts. I'm trading with my friend and we used to just trade from different places, but then support team contacted me to clarify what's going and make sure my account isn't hacked. I explained them the situation and they helped me to create joint account. Imho, that's fair as I think. They didn't suspended or freezed account, just helped me to resolve my issue, I think that's a way how each brokerage should act.

When I saw this company, two things impressed me.

1. The presence of several regulations - the first time I have ever seen such a thing.

2. Raw spreads - a huge rarity nowadays, because it provides quite high profits for traders.

And of course this defined my choice and I decided that this is where I would stay.

And yes, I use exactly raw spreads, because I usually have about 15-20 positions every day, so the commission of $4 is exactly what allows me not to think whether it is profitable or not. Because it is profitable a priori. And for me, of course, it is a certain freedom, even from a moral point of view.

So if you're in doubt, then you should definitely try it - it's worth it.

Usually, brokers of such a high level of service keep a high entry threshold. That is, their minimum deposit amounts to hundreds or thousands of dollars.

In the case of HYCM, it's different. I like the fact that trading here is available to almost everyone.

You can start with $100 only.

Or you can choose a Raw account where the minimum deposit is $200.

This is excellent news for those who are just starting out in trading. Or for those who have not the most positive experience and are wary of investing a large sum in trading.

It's always better to start small and move to larger amounts. In this case, you will learn how to manage small ones faster and easier.

The first thing I learned about this company is that they are reliable. When choosing the best trading conditions I learnt it offers three types of accounts. In the company where I traded before spreads were fixed: 3 pips and higher on currency pairs. And it's not only that variable spreads started at only 1.8 points, but I can also try raw spreads + commission approach. And for six months of my work with the company, what did I learn?

Fixed spreads are very convenient, because it doesn't require any specific calculations or worries about something unexpected happening in the market.

Raw - from 0.4 points plus 4-dollar commission - that's a cool option for dynamic traders.

Personally, the variable ones are more suitable for me.

I can name 3 reasons why this brokerage is on top of my list.

1. Reputation. A lot of people are hypping regulation. I understand that regulation is nothing, if it isn't followed by reputation. HYCM has good one, so that's the guarantee that brokerage would be fair. Sounds banal, but reputation is the only one thing that can build your trust in modern world

2. Raw account. Most traders don't like combined account types, when you're paying both spread and comission, but Raw account offers so tasty conditions that I like it.

3. Fast withdrawals. My life is full of surprises and sometimes I need my money asap. Hycm withdraws them within a day, so that's advantage for me, but if you don't care about time, than it wouldn't matter 4 you at all.

I got interested in trading absolutely by accident, just because I heard about this business from my friends, and I was sure for a while that it was a certain entertainment for me and I wouldn't be doing it for a very long time. But today I thought that I have been trading for 4 years, and this is already a solid experience. Although the first year I did it rarely, and then I already did it as my main source of income. And I even gave up my main job because it stopped making me happy.

Here I work with mt5 with raw spreads, I like the fact that here I am able to do detailed technical analysis, as well as asset analysis on a dozen different timeframes - this gives me a certain advantage in the market.

I chose HYCM because this broker has enough experience in this field. I rarely work with brokers founded in the 2000s because I don’t find them reliable enough. HYCM has been working in the industry since 1977 and this fact makes me trust it.

I prefer trading metals and indices on Metatrader 4 and I like the way my market orders are executed with this broker. For three months of my collaboration with the company, I made at least seven withdrawals. In most cases, I received the requested money within a day.

I had a lot of free time in my previous workplace and I understood that I was degrading, just wasting my time for nothing. So, I started to learn new concepts and terms on my own, just to make my worldview wider. I remember that the first financial term that I've learned was “to hedge” and that was the word which started my trading story.. I became just obsesses with financial markets!

But when I started looking for a reliable broker, my joy went away. Many companies didn't have proper regulation, that's a widespread problem. And those that did, offered not very favorable trading conditions.

My search continued until I found out about HYCM. This company was a good fit for me. Here I found quite a lot of usefull things, especially HYCM education, it was another brick in my brokerage carreer. After a year of trading with this brokerage, I can say with certainty that this isn't a shell company, so you can try it and earn money with it =)

This broker is one of those who can really attract traders with their brands only. And as I see it, the company continues to develop its brand and invest in attracting new traders. If you only think whether to trade with HYCM, that's what I think:

1. Yes, it is because this broker offers fully regulated trading and you can start with a small ($100) deposit. This means that you can try trading and then make a decision what you think about trading here.

2) There is really good training here, so you can understand trading very quickly.

A few words about my trading experience here:

It's pretty good, big set of assets, normal spreads, no unpleasant surprises, in general everything is just okay.
