OctaFX: changes in trading conditions for the June 23rd Brexit vote. The “Brexit” vote, taking place on the 23rd of June this year, on whether or not there should be a British exit from the EU, is an important day to be aware of for OctaFX customers. OctaFX is responding to the increasing probability that there could be some changes in the currency markets, therefore, OctaFX will update its trading conditions. Due to the Brexit vote, OctaFX will increase margin requirements on all pairs, that include British pound (GBP) and the Euro (EUR), starting from June 23rd until June 27th. The margin requirements are going to be increased to 1 per cent on the GBP pairs (1:100) and to 0.5 per cent on the EUR pairs (1:200). On the day of the referendum, June 23rd, margin requirements on the British pound pairs can be increased to 2% (1:50). This vote is something that traders and markets cannot ignore. Also, please be aware that there are always potential risks, OctaFX would like you to make you aware that the requirements can be changed depending on market volatility.

Saints Foundation score at Saint Mary's stadium with the help of OctaFX Football is a big part of our society and is world-recognised as a universal sport in many countries. It educates and inspires people of all ages, brings people and communities together. OctaFX, in conjunction with the Saints Foundation, Southampton FC kindly donated pitch playing time for a lucky group from the Fustal programme. We are helping to enable young people to gain an education while playing the sport. The Saints Foundation’s Futsal and Education Scholarship was created in 2011 and started with 16 scholars. The course now has 76 full-time scholars, including the club’s first ever girls’ team who are currently fourth in the league. OctaFX has recently helped facilitate the opportunity for a group of young people to play within Saint Mary's stadium. An experience such as this has given these young people a much deserved reward and morale boost for all their hard work, during their past 2-years of study. On the day, a great game was played by both teams and the players enjoyed the event immensely. This combination of studying and playing sport has proved incredibly successful, with former students now undertaking football scholarships in the US, university study in the UK, and work opportunities with the Saints Foundation itself. Many students from the group that played have been accepted to universities. The group who play at Saint Mary's stadium on this day were also crowned FLT Fustal League 3 and League 4 National Champions as well as League 2 runners up. As the scholars come to the end of the year they will be working hard to complete their studies before they go to compete in the FLT Futsal National Finals for the last time. OctaFX is proud to be associated with the Saints Foundation as they are encouraging the youth of today to aspire through sports education, ensuring a brighter future.

The first prize in Round 51 of OctaFX Champion demo contest became an anniversary gift Another Round of OctaFX Champion demo contest is over and we are happy to announce the winners! Here they are: 1st place with the award of 500 USD goes to Mr. Alexander Lukyanchikov from Ukraine 2nd place with the award of 300 USD goes to Mr. Zainal Abidin from Indonesia 3rd place with the award of 100 USD goes to Ms. Zunairoh Zunairoh from Indonesia The last runner in the contest, Mr. Alfredo Martinez Martinez from Spain is granted 100 USD What strategy to choose? Is it a bad idea to put all eggs in one basket? Should you choose a single currency pair or to trade with a few of them? Can an old dog learn new tricks? Is the risk inevitable in Forex? If you are ready to get the answers to these questions, read the success stories of our winners: 1st place - Mr. Alexander Lukyanchikov from Ukraine Thank you for congratulations! I’m happy to share my contest experience. Have you seen my avatar? I’ve been using it for a few years. It shows the goal that I was pursuing: at the beginning, I was looking in the mirror; now I’m looking out of it. I achieved one of my life goals and I’m happy. On July, 2nd, I’ll turn 65. Thanks to OctaFX, I made myself an anniversary gift. Judge for yourself: my Ukrainian pension equals to $51 a month. It’s a bit more than $600 a year. I’ve been trading for 8 years and now I’m sure that choosing one currency pair is much better than watching a few pairs’ trends. If you work with just one currency pair, all your funds are localized, it’s easier to manage and control them. However, it may conflict with the idea not to put all eggs in one basket. My strategy is not that good with the sideways trend, but it was perfect with the May AUDUSD trend. In the second part of the contest I started making mistakes, so I tried hedging, and when I realized what my mistake were and I got profits. I don’t spend all my time using this strategy: when I can’t predict the further movement, I wait for a couple of days to see the trend clearer. The key factor of my success can be perfectly described by a quote by Mark Douglas: “When asked for their secrets of success, they categorically state that they didn't achieve any measure of consistency in accumulating wealth from trading until they learned self-discipline, emotional control, and the ability to change their minds to flow with the markets. First, I want to point out that self-discipline, emotional control, and learning to change one's mind after making a commitment are all psychological issues that have nothing to do with news services, advisory services, new exchanges, or technical or fundamental trading systems - computerized or not. Second, from my trading experiences, observations, and research, I have discovered that all traders - both winners and losers - seem to share some very common experiences. Either in the beginning or at some point early in their trading career, all traders experience confusion, frustration, anxiety, and the pain of failure. The few-traders who pass through this phase to accumulate wealth are those who eventually confront and work through some very difficult psychological issues about what it means to be a trader, and this process of realization and change normally takes several years, even for the best of them. … There is some element of truth to the saying that you can't teach an old dog new tricks, except that it should really read "An old dog won't learn new tricks". It's not that it is impossible for someone regardless of their age to learn something new; the issue isn't ability.” 2nd place - Mr. Zainal Abidin from Indonesia I am very glad to get second place this time, all my efforts paid off! Time that I use to trade is around 3-4 hours per day. I try to be as disciplined as I can without to much greed. That's the key to my success. And the strategy that I use is SR and MM. I've been trading for about 2-3 years and I am determined to improve my ability to be better. Thank you, OctaFX, for already appreciating my trading skills! 3rd place - Ms. Zunairoh Zunairoh from Indonesia I’m happy like never before! It’s great to become one of the winners. I didn’t spend too much time trading but, anyway, I was deeply involved. Now I’ll take a short break and won’t trade for some time not to dull the edge of the winner’s pleasure. Then, I will surely go on competing again. I firmly believe that it’s experience that teaches us to be better and to do better. Preferably, 3 years or more - that’s enough to become quite a pro in trading. Experience and patience are the key elements in successful trading. As far as my experience says, the existing Forex data doesn’t necessarily affect the chart, so my advice is not to believe the data blindly. This strategy has always helped me, especially when I got 100 pips in a single transaction. The last runner in the contest - Mr. Alfredo Martinez Martinez from Spain I plan to considerably improve my performance in the next round of the contest. I learn a lot when I trade, so this time I learned that it’s rather dangerous to trade with the high leverage, especially if it’s all about the highly volatile assets. Anyways, to win the contest, you have to accept this risk, and risk means losses but also higher gain. Very large gains are needed to qualify for any prize position in the contest. I didn’t use stop loss this time in hope that the asset would spin in my favor, but the trend was the opposite. As the leverage was very high, it was really quick. This is a contest, so I didn’t lose any real money; I became the last runner which is not so bad considering the prize. So this contest, is anyway, worth accepting the risk. No risk - no gain. During the contest, I was continuously monitoring the market with periodic checks (every 3-4 hours). At first I got very good yields, but at the end of the first week my balance turned negative. However, my most successful operation was Buy with EURCAD. My favorite tools were Crossing Moving Averages and Awesome Oscillator. I guess time is different for each person and their circumstances, but I’ve been trading for two and a half years trying many things, and I think I'm close to being a good trader. Now what I need to do is to trade for some time on a demo account just for the sake of practice. Feeling inspired? Register in the upcoming round and become one of OctaFX Champions!

EUR/USD rises to session high, still stuck in range below 1.1400 As the US Dollar, measured by the US Dollar index, continues to lose ground on Wednesday, the EUR/USD pair rose to a session high level of 1.1388 before retracing few pips to currently trade at 1.1380. Dismal US jobs date for May continues to weigh on the US Dollar as investors now seems to evaluate the timing of next Fed rate-hike decision. The US economic calendar has nothing to offer on Wednesday and hence, a major chunk of investors are likely to remain on the sidelines ahead of the much awaited FOMC meeting on June 14-15. The only release from the US docket will be the official EIA weekly crude oil inventories report that could further boost risk-on sentiment that has been driving European equities and crude oil prices higher. Technical outlook Valeria Bednarik, Chief Analyst at FXStreet notes, "as in the 4 hours chart, the Momentum indicator has finally erased the extreme readings achieved by the end of last week, and is now flat around its 100 level, whilst the RSI indicator consolidates near overbought readings, and the 20 SMA has approached the current level, maintaining a strong upward slope." "The immediate resistance is 1.1395, this week high, followed by 1.1420 and the mentioned 1.1460, while below 1.1325, the pair can correct lower down to 1.1280, where selling interest should contain the slide."

Stay updated with OctaFX and the most recent Forex news! GBP/USD drops to lows around 1.4550 The Sterling is not smiling anymore, at least not today, as GBP/USD has now dipped to session lows in the mid-1.4500s. GBP/USD lower on poll results The pair met increasing selling pressure following latest poll results on the UK Referendum, showing the ‘Leave’ vote now leading with 41% but closely followed by the ‘Stay’ vote with 38%, while 21% still remain undecided. Following these results, uncertainty surrounding the validity of ‘Brexit’ polls remains on the rise and keep weighing on GBP, which already prompted spot to give away over a cent since yesterday’s tops beyond 1.4660. GBP/USD levels to consider As of writing the pair is retreating 0.34% at 1.4562 facing the immediate support at 1.4509 (20-day sma) followed by 1.4330 (low May 16) and finally 1.4088 (low Apr.14). On the other hand, a breakout of 1.4663 (high May 19) would aim for 1.4770 (high May 3) and then 1.4792 (200-day sma).

Stay updated with OctaFX and the most recent Forex news! AUD/USD recovery stalls near 0.7230, back at 0.7200 The selling pressure behind the AUD appears to gather pace once again, driving AUD/USD back near daily lows as risk-off remains in full swings amid lower oil and stocks. AUD/USD hovers near 11-week lows Currently, the AUD/USD pair trades -0.40% lower at 0.7200, meeting fresh supply near 0.7230 region. The Aussie halted its recovery mode and fell further into losses as sentiment in Europe deteriorated sharply after oil prices extended losses and crushed investors’ confidence, weighing heavily on the higher-yielding assets such as equities, AUD etc. Moreover, the European traders negatively react to the disappointing Aus jobs data, which has increased odds of further rate cut by the RBA in the upcoming months. The unemployment rate held steady at 5.7% in March, while 10,800 jobs were added to the economy last month, below expectations of a 12,000 net increase. The labor force participation rate unexpectedly fell from 64.9% in March to 64.8% last month, the lowest in almost a year. Meanwhile, the Aussie will track broader market sentiment ahead of the US datasets and Fed speeches, which may provide fresh impetus to the major. AUD/USD Levels to watch The pair finds the immediate resistance at 0.7262 (200-DMA) above which gains could be extended to the next hurdle located at 0.7300 (round number). On the flip side, the immediate support located at 0.7162/50 (Mar 2 Low/ Daily S2). Selling pressure is likely to intensify below the last, dragging the Aussie 0.7105 (April 29 & Mar 1 Low).

Round 50 of OctaFX Champion demo contest: how to keep winning OctaFX is happy to announce the new winners of Champion demo contest! Let’s congratulate the traders: 1st place with the award of 500 USD goes to Mr. Kariyanto Kariyanto from Indonesia 2nd place with the award of 300 USD goes to Mr. Noor Ul Amin from Pakistan 3rd place with the award of 100 USD goes to Ms. Ledi Manullang from Indonesia The last runner in the contest, Mr. Abd Hadi from Indonesia is granted 100 USD Do you want to learn how to trade so that you keep winning? Just read these success tips from our best traders! 1st place - Mr. Kariyanto Kariyanto from Indonesia I’ve been trading with OctaFX for a long time, and finally my time has come! I’m the first winner! I’d like to express my gratitude to OctaFX for this opportunity. Honestly speaking, I’m learning on the go: in the past, I was spending a lot of time on trading (not always successful enough), but now I just wait for the right moment to trade, so there’s not much time consumed. Since I’m more successful now I believe I will go on participating in OctaFX contests. Who knows, may be I’m in a winning streak at the moment. I think my success is patience, being precise in using the market moment and determination. Also, I like to take all the trading opportunities. The more I take advantage of the opportunities, the greater my chance for victory. Yes, I suffered huge losses in the past, because I was (and I still am) a newbie, but I hope I’m learning faster and faster. I’ve been trading for 5 years and I’ve got some thrilling experience that I hope will help me in the future trades. 2nd place - Mr. Noor Ul Amin from Pakistan First of all, I want to thank OctaFX for organizing such a thrilling contest. It’s great that you can challenge yourself and trade in a competition with others! As for me, I’m not a full-time trader: I have a regular job, and trading is a hobby for me. I trade from time to time whenever I’m free. I’m considering participating in some other contests that OctaFX organizes, maybe I’ll go and pick more than one. OctaFX has quite a wide range to choose from. My key success factors are hard work and concentrated analysis of the market. I guess these were the reasons I got one of the prizes in this contest. I don’t use any kind of EAs or other indicators; the only strategy that I use is my own strategy. Most of my trades were profitable this time. However, one of the trades was a loss of more than 6000, but then I got a profit of 6290, so I basically got the lost money back. According to my experience, learning as well as practical work take around 6 months to become a good trader. 3rd place - Ms. Ledi Manullang from Indonesia If you ask me what I feel, I can say I’m super happy! I trade when I have a couple of minutes of free time so I’m not too an involved trader. I’ve never thought I’d become a winner one day, but here I am! I will continue to participate in the next rounds even after this success. When I trade, i’m optimistic and confident - this is the best state that you can imagine for trading. I’m also patient to wait for the right moment, I’m not pushed by emotions. I got a spectacular profit for the first time in this contest, no losses occurred! Speaking of experience… My best guess is that the time that you have to spend to become an exceptional trader is unlimited. A good trader is willing to learn from experience without being too impatient. The last runner in the contest - Mr. Abd Hadi from Indonesia I’m a beginner Forex trader. Although I failed this time, I’m happy to get a consolation prize of $100. I learned a lot from the experience of this contest, ranging from the strategy to the calculation of the lot. My failure makes me even more motivated to try harder, to learn more about the market and to study technical analysis and fundamental basics. Of course, now I’m enterprising and determined to learn how to be a successful trader. Together with OctaFX, I believe that behind the failure there is the success. I hope next time I will no longer experience failure, and maybe it will take 2-3 months to become a better trader. Once again, thank you very much, OctaFX.

Stay updated with OctaFX and the most recent Forex news! USD/JPY: Bears take a breather, selling stalls near 108.50 The bears took a breather from the ongoing downward spiral, allowing a minor recovery in USD/JPY from session lows just near the mid-point of 108 handle. USD/JPY re-attempts 109 handle? The dollar-yen pair stages a minor-pullback in the European session, having found renewed bids just ahead of 108.50 levels, as the yen buying paused for a while amid stabilizing European equities as well as oil prices. At the moment, the USD/JPY pair recovers to 108.70, still down -0.57% on the day. Looking ahead, the prevalent risk-off/on sentiment is likely to dominate the USD/JPY moves, in absence of significant US economic releases due later today. USD/JPY Technical levels to watch In terms of technicals, the immediate resistance is located at 109 (round number). A break above the last, the major could test 109.50 (post-BOJ highs). While to the downside, the immediate support is seen at 108.50 (psychological levels) and below that at 108.13/107.97 (5-DMA/ 1h 100-SMA).
