I like the fact that HYCM is an old and reliable broker. The thing is that my first experience in choosing a broker was very pathetic. I happened to trust my money to the absolute scam because of the fact that I didn't have any decent experience in trading and communicating with brokers. It was some trading forum which convinced me to choose that broker and I learned a lesson that it is better not trust reviews which are posted on trading forums because they can be insincere and pretty misleading. The problem was really widespread: I couldn't withdraw the money from that trading account. The broker kept silent and its customer support didn't work well and didn't help me solve this problem. Luckily, I didn't deposit much money there but it was still sad to lose the money like that. So, I came to hycm just because of my friend's recommendation. I was still distrustful, but I paid my attention to the objective facts: like history of operations and official regulation. HYCM has four official regulation and it was founded in 1970s. I guess that it is one of the oldest brokers on the market today. Surely, the first thing I tried was withdrawal and it was really fast, which made me believe that hycm can be worked with without any fear of losing the money in vain.
