CFD Trading
Templer FX offers a modest suite of CFDs compared to other brands, covering shares, commodities, indices and cryptos. The good news is that you can start with as little as $1 and there are no commissions. HYCM traders can access CFDs on a range of stocks, indices, commodities and ETFs with floating spreads and maximum leverage varying by instrument. Clients also have a choice between two industry-leading platforms.

Forex Trading
Trade 30+ forex pairs with competitive spreads averaging 0.5 pips for EUR/USD. You can also access very high leverage up to 1:2000, though we urge caution when using unregulated brokers. HYCM offers 40+ forex pairs, with most available to trade on either the MT4 or MT5 platform. The maximum leverage on offer is 1:30 in accordance with regulations, and tight spreads start from 0.2 on the Raw account and from 1.2 on the commission-free Classic account.

Cryptocurrency
Traders can access popular cryptocurrencies, though the selection is not as wide as competitors. There is also the broker's Bitcoin account, where you can start with as little as 0.000001 BTC. HYCM only offers trading opportunities on Bitcoin, which is traded via CFD in a pair with USD. Whilst exposure to the largest crypto by market cap is good, access to other digital currencies would bring the broker in line with competitors.
