What happens to inactive HYCM trading accounts?

After a period of 90 consecutive days with no trading activity, your account will be considered inactive.

A monthly fee of $10 is charged until you resume trading activity, or your balance falls to zero and your account might be closed by HYCM. In such a case you can only create a new account.

If you resume your trading activity and you have recently been charged an inactivity fee, you can ask customer service for a refund if you make a deposit of at least $50.
