HYCM has a lot to offer both for beginners and professional traders. And I think that's good that brokerage isn't overconcentrated only on one part of audience and tries to satisfy both ones. For professional traders HYCM would be definitely good for 2 reasons: 1) It's regulated. And that's not simple CySEC regulation, HYCM also has FCA regulation and that's even more reliable one. Yeah, I know they belong to different legal entities, but we know that's just a formal thing, they're all part of the Heynep Group and are contolled from the signle headquarter. 2) Story behind the company. Something new is cool if we don't speak about our money. When it comes to business, investing or simply managing our funds, all of us would prefer sth that's proven by time. As HYCM operates since 1970s it has a long-standing reputation and a strong old-clients database. And that's exactly what professionals are looking for. For beginner traders HYCM has also sth to offer. I mean: 1) There's education. And yeah, everything except workshops and webinars isn't so good to make you trader, but these live activities overshadow weak primarly education. For example, I came to HYCM as experienced traders, but I got a lot of usefull things with its webinars. 2) Economic calendars and other stuff. Pros aren't using them, as they're using more complicated ways to get news and insights: BI Intelligence, Bloomberg, etc. But if you're beginner, I think you would be satisfied with all info gathered in one place, so no need to search for info and re-check it. I don't mean that's the best brokerage in the world, I know some of its flaws, as well I have read a lot of HYCM reviews where people explained what disadvantages they found in that company. But if we look 'in general; than HYCM is no doubt a place I'm satisfied with.
