Closed my account without a reason and took trading profits

Service use: Live Length of use: over 1 Year
Don’t trust HYCM. Out of the blue they sent me an email saying they would be closing my account. I asked why several times with no response. I was given back my deposit minus my trading profits and still no explanation for why any of this happened. Not a trustworthy company.

Complain to HYCM, deduct my profit

Service use: Live Length of use: 0-3 Months
After more than a month of hard trading, I finally made a profit. Until the first withdrawal in late May, HYCM said that I violated the rules, so they closed my account and deducted my profits. At present, I can't log in to my personal Center, I asked them for evidence, but I didn't receive a reply from them. I don't understand why they don't pay profit for normal transactions. Please stay away from this broker.

A regulated broker

Service use: Live Length of use: 3-6 Months
HYCM is a broker, that has been under UK regulation for 20 years, which was one of the criteria why I chose this broker. I have a classic account here with floating spreads.
I trade here with good profits. I managed to earn about 30% a month. Generally the most profitable trending strategies and it is logical and understandable. Especially when you trust the broker.

I like to scalp here

Service use: Live Length of use: 3-6 Months
I chose their Raw account for scalping. Despite it’s called “Raw”, it’s actually an ECN account. Here we have a typical ECN offer - tight floating spreads and a commission. The execution is good here - that’s what I expect from any regulated broker. By the way, it’s a pioneer of Forex trading. The company was started just a year after the emergence of the foreign exchange market.

Stay away please!!!

Service use: Live Length of use: 0-3 Months
Please please stay away from hycm especially if they offered you the choice to register your account in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines ( in which they are allegedly licenced)...

Market orders execuated through them run perfectly until you start gaining real profits:
Your orders start getting seriously delayed ( until major market price changes has occured)...

Other profitable orders don't even get through even when trying multiple times...

They did this twice to me in a way that was too obviously intended to hurt my account ( after gaining good profits each time)...

And every time, they used ridiculous excuses:
Internet speed issues, software glitches, market volatility..

Of course with other respectable brokers, you never face those type of issues ( especially when it is very obvious it's intentional and timely)..

I got so many recorded videos showing clearly how they screw up your orders...

To be fair to them, when it comes to withdrawing money : they always sent the requested amount in very brief time ( at least this is my personal experience).

They are definitely a fraudulent company that would throw ambiguous technical reasons for you to make you accept how you got ripped of your money...

Please please go with more trusted brokers: they are simply not worth risking your money.

I have everything for normal trading

Service use: Live Length of use: 3-6 Months
I have been working with HYCM for 5 months. I will note the speed of transactions, acceptable spreads, trading and withdrawal without commissions. I currently withdraw only small amounts ($200, $600, $750) and there is no withdrawal limit. For me it is great to have many different options for deposit or withdrawal. I have not paid much attention to electronic wallets such as Webmoney or Skrill, even though I know that the withdrawals come faster there. My profit from time to time I withdraw to my card.

I enjoyed working with this broker.

Service use: Live Length of use: 0-3 Months
I enjoyed working with this broker. I like that everything is fair here and I can be sure that my money will not disappear.
I know that there are many brokers who are Forex scam and this is sad. This is indeed the case. HYCM broker is a company that has been operating for a long time and has many traders all over the world.
I read a lot of HYCM broker reviews and realized that this is the place where I can make money on the Internet.

Trade stocks

Service use: Live Length of use: 3-6 Months
Here you can easily and profitably trade stocks. Which broker of this level like this will offer 1:20 leverage on stocks? Most brokers also make spreads huge, up to 200 pips for some types of stocks. HYCM is not greedy. They earn themselves and let the trader earn. There are no conflicts of interest. My opinion is that if they somehow cheated, worked against traders, they would not have held out on the market for more than two decades. The market would just eat them. They develop and traders go to them. See for yourself, try it, you will be satisfied.
