HYCM Leverage and HYCM CFDs Explained

let's take a look at some of the basics of using HYCM leverage.

HYCM offer CFD are a leveraged product for this example we describe ten times leverage.

So you have a ten thousand dollar position but you only tie up a thousand dollars a tenth of the value on your account. You have a situation where a small sum of money is controlling a much bigger financial position. This is your leverage.

So what effect does leverage have on your profits and losses well put simply it magnifies them in both directions.

HYCM leverage magnifies both profits and losses when trading.

Let's say for example you buy ten thousand dollars worth of General Electric (GE) using contracts for difference ( CFDs ) using the HYCM trading platform.

let's say General Electric (GE) rises 10% because its results are positive your position which was worth ten thousand dollars is now worth $11,000.

It's grown by $1000 10% in value this represents a hundred percent increase on the funds initially committed on your leverage CFD trade.

Our initital investment of ten thousand dollars for the trade and has made a thousand dollars in profit because the price is up ten percent.

The HYCM leverage goes both ways. If General Electric (GE) Falls 10% on week results your position which was worth ten thousand dollars is now worth only nine thousand dollars. It has fallen by a thousand dollars.

HYCM CFDs are typically used for short to medium term trades. For example HYCM intraday trading.

Limit Risk When Trading with HYCM Stop Loss, HYCM Stop Limit Orders

A stop-loss order is an order placed with a broker like HYCM to buy or sell once the stock reaches a certain price. A stop-loss is designed to limit a traders loss on a security position.

Most traders need to use stop losses to protect themselves from huge risk unless the trade is hedged against another trade or the trader is not using leverage. Circumstances differ depending on the trade and the markets.

When you open an account, you'll likely be asked for the following, so it's good to have these handy:

Be aware Please kindly note that the expiration date of Proof of address document for different entities under HYCM Brand may be different.

• A scanned colour copy of your passport, driving license or national ID

While you might be able to explore HYCM's platform straight away, it's important to note that you won't be able to make any trades until you pass compliance, which can take up to several days, depending on your situation.
