To start this comparison, first, we will take a look at the fees charged for trading forex. It's important to note this is no easy task. Not every broker shares their average spreads, spreads can be fixed or variable (floating), execution policies differ, and brokers can act as market makers (dealers) or act as agents for execution. To simplify things, we analyzed everything for you and provide a single star rating for cost. IG Group's score is 4.50 stars versus Henyep (HYCM)'s 3.50 stars.
Cost aside, we can now turn our focus to regulation alongside currency availability. For regulation, it's very important to select a broker you can trust with your money. Henyep (HYCM) and IG Group both are regulated in a major hub. IG Group is a publicly traded company while Henyep (HYCM) is not. How many currency pairs are available to trade? IG Group boasts an offering of 91 different currency pairs compared to Henyep (HYCM)'s 38 available pairs.
To round out our comparison, let's look at the popular tools and features forex traders prefer. For platforms, some FX traders prefer MetaTrader. Henyep (HYCM) alongside IG Group offer Meta Trader. Within the trading platform, charting should be robust, so we counted the number of drawing tools and total technical indicators made available. IG Group trails Henyep (HYCM) by 14 total charting tools, with Henyep (HYCM) offering 31 and IG Group offering 17. Henyep (HYCM) offers its clients access to 51 different indicators (for example, volume) while IG Group has 22 available indicators, a difference of 29.
