Interview with contest winners: "You can only learn trading fast with a mentor" Our new contest winners share their advice on how to avoid making the same mistakes over and over again, how to handle failed trades and speak on the importance of rest. Yevgeny Karpov, Russia, the winner of the 410th round of Drag Trade, received real $200 Trading experience: about 12–15 years Preferred instruments: EUR/USD, GBP/JPY, sometimes GOLD Preferred indicators: Fibo, Parabolic SAR, Moving Average with various settings Trading strategies: Fibonacci levels “I’m 36 and work as a system administrator, programmer, and a tester. All my hobbies are connected to the world of IT in one way or another. I learned trading on my own, but I think one would learn faster under the supervision of a mentor that guides them on a beaten path and you don’t have to keep making the same mistakes over and over again. However, it applies only to beginners, while later on, you need to practice yourself. The market is a fickle thing and the basics are not enough to know your way around. I placed my most successful trade at the time of Brexit, though usually, I try not to get involved with “gambling”. Things like these are nearly impossible to predict and highly volatile. In these situations, I normally “sit on a fence” and follow the quotes. I hardly believed I could win this round. I used my usual strategy that involves Fibonacci levels. There was a surge of GBP/JPY quotes in the beginning and then they went flat between the levels of 61 and 100. That’s when I sold at 100 and bought at 61.” Alisher Gapirov, Uzbekistan, the winner of the 215th round of Rally Trade, received $500 no-deposit bonus Trading experience: 8 years Preferred instruments: major currency pairs Preferred indicators: various oscillators Trading strategies: breakout trading “I’m a multichannel communication engineer. I learned about financial markets from a person I know. I decided to give it a shot and I liked it. I won’t lie, at first I blew many accounts like a typical newbie. Though eventually, I got the hang of it. I owe my skills to various contests. You have to get better all the time to succeed in trading. Even if it’s not working out at the moment, try again. My least successful trade was when I tried trading at the time of Scottish independence referendum. I lost a large sum of money. After 8 years on the market and after all the roller coasters I no longer worry when placing a trade. I grew a shell and now I just trade. I wish all the newcomers diligence. Be patient and if you don’t succeed at first, just try again.” Serhyi Ganzha, Ukraine, the winner of the 413th round of Drag Trade, received real $200 Trading experience: 9 years Preferred instruments: EUR/USD, GBP/USD Preferred indicators: Moving Averages Trading strategies: multicurrency strategies “My attitude towards financial markets hasn’t changed over the years. I still think that trading is a promising and profitable occupation that has lots of advantages over a regular job. Namely, you can work anywhere, don’t have bosses, work your own hours. I see myself as a successful manager in the future, someone who knows how to multiply their own funds and that of the investors. My most successful trades were placed at the times of important news in the US and the UK. My unsuccessful trades are always limited by stop loss. I believe in myself and in my trading system and that helps me control my emotions. Another important thing is to rest. This round was on Good Friday, that’s why trading volumes and volatility were very low. In the first trade, I managed to gain four points from the fall of EUR/USD and I decided to stop trading. The decision proved correct. My advice for beginners is to have patience, learn from professionals, work out your own trading system, try it out on a demo account and only then start real trading. Good luck!” Read the contest rules and sign-up for the next round here.

Aleksandr Filimonov, the winner of 399th round of Drag Trade, received real $200 “I’m 58 and I’m an engineer. I like to build things, but trading is my main hobby for about 10 years. I learned about Forex from an ad. I had my difficulties, just like everyone else in the beginning. The difficulties of psychological nature: I wanted to get everything right away and I lost a lot of money because of that. I’m yet to achieve the art of calm and steady trading. I mostly trade with major currency pairs and gold. Recently I’ve been favoring GBP/USD. I use levels, Elliott Wave, Japanese candlesticks, Fibonacci retracement. I make decisions based on several indicators. I chose Grand Capital because of a solid reputation, a wide range of account types and instruments, easy deposit/withdrawal of funds. I like the fact that the company’s contests are regular and interesting. I beat my competitors at Drag Trade by less than 1%. The beginners should search for a strategy that suits their character, also don’t take big risks. Always have something to trade with for tomorrow. Svetlana Pulatova, Azerbaijan, the winner of 210th round of Rally Trade, received $500 no-deposit bonus “I used to teach English, now I’m 58. I learned trading on my own, after a recommendation from my friends. I mostly trade currencies, and I prefer Sniper strategy and scalping. I pay attention to spread and commission when choosing a broker. I like Grand Capital’s contests, they are a great opportunity to practice trading. I decided to participate in Rally Trade to win an initial capital. Although I won only by a small margin, I did it thanks to the correct choice of a currency pair and low volatility on the market. All beginners should try themselves in contests. If you can win, you’re ready to trade on real accounts.” Yuri Ogoltsov, Russia, the winner of 401st round of Drag Trade, received real $200 “I’m 55. I dedicate all my free time to Forex trading. I learned about it accidentally four years ago. I learned from my own mistakes. A good trader must be disciplined and true to their dream. And of course, you should analyze your successes and failures. When you start trading, a desire for easy and fast income gets in the way. But with experience, you’re beginning to appreciate calm trading and start to get planned profit. I tried many different instruments and finally chose the most liquid ones: EUR/USD and GBP/USD. My strategy is the European session and intraday trading. I also use support and resistance levels. I love competition in general and often participate in contests. In this round, it all happened in the last few minutes. There’s a certain edge to Drag Trade, it’s a one-hour contest and since you risk more, you have to quickly make unorthodox decisions.”

The main prize in Drag Trade is withdrawable $200. Rally Trade lasts one day and the winner gets a $500 no-deposit bonus. You can trade futures contracts in Future Trade and receive a $1000 no-deposit bonus. Natalya Nedvoryagina, Moldova, the winner of the 83rd round of Micro Trade. “I’m a radio engineering technician, I'm 65 years old. My hobbies are theater, books, music. I also think of trading as a hobby, though I’ve been familiar with it for a long time, since 2010. I prefer trading with EUR/JPY. I don’t always stick to one particular strategy, I base my trading on day charts. The newcomers shouldn’t be afraid of losing and should carefully analyze the charts. In Micro Trade the trading is on real accounts, so there’s not as much competition as in other contests. One of the most memorable trades is the one that led to my victory. At first, I thought that another contestant would win, but eventually, he went below zero and I got ahead of everyone else.” Sergei Novikov, Russia, the winner of the 59th round of Future Trade. “I’m 36 and trading is still more of a hobby for me. I like that profits are not limited by anything there. I like the contests, like the way it’s organized. During this competition, I managed to close my most successful trade. I chose Grand Capital for reliability, the company’s contests don’t need any improvements, there are organized perfectly. My advice for the beginners? I have a lot to learn myself yet, so I don’t think it’s my place to give advice.” Marina Arykova, Russia, the winner of the 209th round of Rally Trade. “I’ve been interested in financial markets since I was 16. It was interesting to figure out what the currency rates depend on. Now I’m 29, I’m a real estate agent. Trading is not the main source of income for me. However, now I try to give more time to trading: the victory gave me confidence. I like trading with various currency pairs and stock. My most memorable trade was with Amazon shares. I started participating in trading contests about 5 years ago. It’s very convenient that Grand Capital contests are regular and come in different formats. Newcomers have the opportunity to learn without financial risks, while experienced traders can test themselves. I didn’t think I’d win in Rally Trade: I started the contest with losses, but I managed to win in the end. It’s a lesson for all traders: never give up and move forward!” Andrei Smerdov, Russia, the winner of the 398th round of Drag Trade. “I’m 46 and I work in forestry. Numismatics and biology are my hobbies. I’ve been interested in financial markets since 2008. Sure, I had my share of unsuccessful trades. But my most successful one allowed me to increase my deposit by four times. My favorite instruments are GBP/USD and gold. I always pay attention to what contests are offered by a broker. I’ve been participating in Drag Trade for about two years now. Several times I made it into the top-10, but never took the first place. In this round, I correctly predicted the decline of GBP/USD and won. It’s a pity that the winners can’t participate twice in Grand Capital contests. The contests provide great opportunity to master your strategy, get adrenaline and fight for the prize. The beginners should take part regularly.” Read the contest rules and sign-up for the next round here.
