HYCM supports both MetaTrader 4 and 5, two popular trading platforms. We recommend trading through MetaTrader 5 as that platform supports all 300 instruments. In contrast, no more than 90 instruments are available through MetaTrader 4. MetaTrader 4 and 5 support a wide range of orders as well as automated trading robots, known as Expert Advisors. HYCM supports all trading styles and Expert Advisors, except high-frequency trading robots. If in doubt, please contact HYCM.

HYCM (HYCM.com) offers 3 accounts, to match your trading style: an account with wider spreads, fixed at all times, another with lower, yet variable spreads and a third with razor-thin spreads plus commission.

You can keep your positions open for as long as you want, and will only be charged a $5 overnight fee from the 14th-day onwards.
