Range of investments
BlackBull Markets offers a wider range of investments than HYCM (Henyep Capital Markets), with 26,000 tradeable symbols compared with HYCM’s 1,199. Both brokers support forex trading, with BlackBull listing 72 forex pairs and HYCM offering 70, so their currency selections are very similar. Each also lets clients trade exchange-traded securities on both U.S. and international exchanges, buy cryptocurrency CFDs, and access forex as a CFD or spot contract.

Forex trading apps
BlackBull Markets and HYCM (Henyep Capital Markets) both cover the mobile basics well, with iPhone and Android apps, price alerts, and the ability to draw trendlines on charts. Each app also includes 30 technical studies and automatically saves chart drawings, which makes it easier to keep track of your analysis while trading on the go. Both brokers are rated 4 out of 5 stars for mobile trading apps, so they are evenly matched in overall app quality.

That gives BlackBull Markets a small edge for convenience and account management. In ForexBrokers.com’s Mobile Trading Apps category, BlackBull Markets is ranked #28 out of 36 brokers, compared with HYCM at #31 out of 36, which also puts BlackBull Markets slightly ahead overall.
