Interview with the winners of Rally Trade, one of the best contests on the web Today our regular interview round-up is dedicated to the winners of Rally Trade. All of them see trading as a hobby, rather than a main source of income. And yet they trade with spirit and passion and have already achieved great results. Igor Nagibin, the winner of 191st round “I accidentally stumbled upon a Forex ad on the Internet back in 2008. At first, I just played around. Then I got into it in earnest and began studying trading. For me, trading is a fascinating hobby that sometimes brings decent income. But I’m starting to get more and more interested in investments. To be honest, I still haven’t found a stable working strategy. My most unsuccessful trade was made with the EUR/JPY pair. There was an earthquake in Japan at the time and in the course of 10 minutes, I lost $1000. My most successful trade made me $1800 out of initial $30 in a week. Actually, I earned $4000, but got greedy and eventually, it went down to $1800. I prefer trading with AUD/USD and USD/JPY pairs. I chose Grand Capital because of the contests, fast withdrawal and the fact that there are very few negative reviews of the broker. I encourage beginners not to be greedy and not to try getting all the money in the world in a day. Though I have to say I don’t always manage to follow my own advice.” Mikhail Krestinskiy, the winner of 192nd round “I started trading because I was always interested in financial markets and economy. The opportunity itself to make money just sitting behind my PC was alluring. I’ve been a trader for more than three years now. Potentially high income and the lack of bosses are attracted me a lot. It's like having your own business. I studied trading through books, websites, and my own experience. I plan to grow further as a trader and earn a stable monthly income. I usually discuss trading and consult about it with my friends. But I always try to make my own decisions. One of my most successful trades resulted in getting 150 points of profit on GBP/USD pair when there were wild price swings in the beginning of the year against the backdrop of British news. I like to trade with Euros, pounds, Canadian dollars, Yens, and as for the strategies, I like price action, though I used to prefer channels and moving averages before. When choosing a broker I pay attention to promptness and reliability, but also to low spreads. Rally Trade contest had me interested because of its prize sum and convenient time frame. I think that it’s one of the best contests on the web. It suits both professional traders and those who trade only part-time. I won partially because I chose a volatile pair, USD/CAD. My advice to beginners is to learn through trading on micro accounts and try yourself in contests like this one, but first of all direct your attention to studying charts and technical analysis.” Igor Kulak, the winner of 193rd round I’ve been trading on financial markets for more than three years. I don’t consider myself a professional trader yet. I just trade and participate in various contests from time to time. But I’m still learning and come across difficulties. That’s why I don’t have any clear plans for further growth as a trader. I participated in Grand Capital contests several times, those that are with demo accounts. Each contest is good in its own way. It’s the first time I’ve managed to win. Thanks to Grand Capital for the provided opportunities! You can learn about contest rules and register for the next round here.

Interview with contest winners. “Trading is the highest paying job” The seventh interview round-up is completely dedicated to our Drag Trade contest. Four recent winners told us how they had come to financial market and how they had learned to trade. Oleg Zharskiy, the winner of round 361 "I got interested in Forex seven years ago. First, I started trading on a demo account. It actually seemed quite easy. Then I tried trading on a real account and blew my whole deposit. I thought, that won’t do, and started reading analytics, studying indicators and following financial news. Eventually, I began to keep a trader’s log, where I recorded all my mistakes. Usually, I prefer scalping and trading on news. I use MACD, stochastic oscillator, ichimoku. My favorite currency pairs are USD/JPY, GBP/USD, GPP/JPY. I’ve been participating in contests for a long time. Very often I finished on almost winning positions in Drag Trade, but always fell short. Finally, I did it, the high volatility helped me. My piece of advice to beginners: take part in contests, read analytics and analyze your mistakes. I wish you profitable trading and high revenues!" Roman Senevsky, winner of the round 362 "I got acquainted with forex in 2009. At that time I was working at the plant, receiving a minimum wage. This prospect did not please me. One day I learned about forex from an advertisement and about the money that you can earn trading. I believe that a trader is a highest-paid profession in the world. The market has no supervisors, no relatives who would control you and a free work schedule, the ability to trade from anywhere in the world. I did not become a trader just like that: first I carefully studied all the information I could find on Forex and took a two-week course. To successfully trade, you have to think before making decisions, follow the news, evaluate the situation. Here we need a cold calculation and mental stability. My most unsuccessful trade happened in December 2012 and involved EUR/USD pair and $5000, which I lost. My preferred currency pairs are EUR / USD, GBP / USD, AUD / USD, and sometimes also Gold. I try to follow the trend from support and resistance levels. When choosing a broker, you should pay attention to favorable trading conditions, high speed of the platform, fast execution of orders, a timely technical support and fast withdrawal of funds. Grand Capital has never failed me with all this. "Drag Trade" is a great contest, especially for beginners, as it allows you to earn real money. However, it is difficult to win here: the competition is very strong. I had to trade aggressively, make risky entries. The main thing is to choose the most volatile pair." Albert Udayev, winner of the round 363 "One day I was looking for a job online and came across a forex ad. This is how my trading career has started. I have been a trader for five years since then. I like trading because I don't depend on anyone here. The Internet is now full of information on Forex trading. You just need to have the desire to study hard and work hard. Of course, as any other field, trading has its downs. But it has never stopped me from making it my profession. My worst trade happened during the Brexit turmoil. Like many, I was sure that Britain will remain in the European Union, did not set a stop loss and failed. Therefore, before you start trading, you need to reflect on every aspect. My main strategy is based on analysis of support and resistance levels and channel breach. When choosing a broker, I pay attention to several factors. For example, how many years the broker has been on the market, and, of course, the spread, technical support, withdrawal and deposit options. Grand Capital meets my requirements. I took part in the contest to test my skills without risking money. I liked that the contest takes only one hour and there are no strict rules. My advice to beginners is: control your emotions, learn and be persistent." Anton Bukin, winner of the 364th round "I came to Forex casually by seeing advertising on the Internet two years ago. I stayed because I had the opportunity to feel financially free. At the beginning I didn't encounter many difficulties: I simply looked at the chart and learned slowly. In general, I trade Majors, following the trend. My best trade so far is the sale of the Swiss franc and +2200 points by take profit in one day. When choosing a broker, the first thing I look at is the reputation. I am really satisfied with Grand Capital. The contests are great. Prizes, ratings in real time - everything is of high standards."

Interview with contest winners. “A contest is a good way to master your strategy” The sixth interview round-up features the winner of Rally Trade, the winner of Futures Trade and two winners of Drag Trade. Anatoliy Radchenko, Ukraine, the winner of 358th round of Drag Trade ‘I have been trading since 2006. I work as a system administrator and I started trading because I like to use my head. I’ve learned everything myself. It’s simple, really: you buy, then you sell. Be patient and sooner or later you’ll get it. I usually base my strategy on trends. Fundamental analysis beats everything. But I trade with anything if it promises profit. Most recently I’ve been selling the British pound. What I value the most in brokers is the promptness with which deposits and withdrawals are executed. My advice to the future contestants is to never give up. Fight to the end!’ Serhiy Neznayko, Ukraine, the winner of 50th round of Futures Trade ‘I’m a student, but not full-time, so I work and trade in my spare time. The advantages of trading are the lack of bosses and comfortable working conditions. No one bosses you around, you can trade where and when you please. I think that the most common mistake among the beginners is a lack of self-control. I actually blew my first $100 deposit this way. Even if it wasn’t that big. I think that my most successful trade is still ahead of me. Now I’m waiting for increase of the US interest rate. I haven’t studied trading seriously yet. But I’m planning on attending lectures on exchange trading. CFD is a new direction for me. I don’t have any special strategy. I just start form the market climate and economy news. When I choose a broker, I pay attention to several factors. I notice if the website is user-friendly, how fast the client support responds, and, of course, the contests. I chose Futures Trade because of its convenient duration and the possibility to follow the contest table online. In my round the margin between the first and the second positions was only 3 dollars. I guess I was lucky. Now I know that anyone can win. Check it out yourself, everything is in your own hands!’ Hamid Vilani, Iran, the winner of 359th round of Drag Trade ‘My name is Khamid and trading is my job. I learned about trading for the first time seven years ago when I saw and ad online. Forex is very popular in Iran. I learned everything online, for free. The most important thing for a beginner is to set a correct leverage. And, of course, self-control and patience are also of utmost importance for traders. I still remember that one time when I managed to earn +1000% of my initial deposit. I use Ichinoku trading indicator. Grand Capital is widely known company with a long history. That’s why I chose it. I entered the contest just because I like to compete, and a contest is also a chance to earn some money.’ Tangapandi Thangaraj, UAE, the winner of 190th round of Rally Trade ‘I work as a technician for a private company, my job is repair and maintenance of machinery. I decided to try to get into trading three years ago. A friend suggested that I try Forex. I tried and kept on trading and in time I started winning. I learned trading everywhere: Youtube, message boards, listened to my friends’ advice. At times I felt like giving up, but I didn’t. I like trading with GBP/JPY and GBP/USD pairs. I stay with a particular broker if the company is reliable and offers quality support. I like challenges, so I entered Grand Capital contest. Also it’s an opportunity to master my strategy. The market can change in an instant. That’s why you have to be extremely careful if you use someone else’s trading signals. It’s better to trust your own strategy and analysis. This approach allows you to manage your funds rationally: not to lose more than you spend.’ Learn about contest rules and sign up for the next round here.
