New contest winners: the lucky currency pairs

We keep publishing the interview with our contest winners.

Here are the prizes that they receive:

• For the 1st place in Drag Trade — real $200;
  
• For the 1st place in Rally Trade — $500 no-deposit bonus;
  
• For the 1st place in Micro Trade — 300% of the difference in equity;
  
• For the 1st place in Futures Trade — $1000 no-deposit bonus.
  

In today’s newsletter are the winners of 347th and 350th rounds of Drag Trade and the winners of 181st and 184th rounds of Rally Trade. The winner of 184th round of Rally Trade had already won our contests before.

Meniya Eric Ogot, Kenya, the winner of 181st round of Rally Trade

I teach at medical school, and I've been trading a bit over two years. Now Forex is becoming more and more popular here in Kenya, though many are still skeptical about it. I personally think it has a lot of potential. As the web technology advances, even people with little funds are able to receive decent income through it. Two of my brothers are also into trading. Sometimes we discuss the situation of the market and profitable strategies. But in the end of the day, trading is an adventure on which you have to set off alone and only sometimes ask for support, just to be safe. The main danger in trading is inability to control your emotions, fear and greed. My strategy is multiframe analysis of 4-hour and daily diagram, strong support levels and resistance on Fibonacci retracement. I prefer volatile instruments and often trade with GBP/AUD, GBP/JPY pairs and sometimes USD/ZAR. I chose Grand Capital because of the wide range of trading instruments and competitive spreads. Grand Capital contests are a great oppo
rtunity for newbies to test their skills. I think that I took the first place in the contest thanks to careful selection of trading instruments. I think that beginners are too hung up on searching for the right strategy and forget about trading rules. Money management is the key to success. You may have a strategy that yields 40% of profit, but, anyway, in order to receive profit, you only need to manage your funds wisely and balance your risks and profits.

Natalya Filippova, Russia, the winner of 347th round of Drag Trade

I’m a dentist and I’ve been trading for a long time, but not too often. At first I ran into many difficulties and made a lot of mistakes. I won’t lie, there’s a lot of them even now. But I keep on learning: study fundamental analysis and advance my skills. My advice to beginners is to study, the more and longer the better. Trading attracts because of opportunity of income that in prospect is almost unlimited. I usually trade with JPY/USD and AUD/USD pairs. One of my most successful trades actually was with AUD/USD. It helped me to win the contest. Grand Capital was recommended to me by an acquaintance, I was told that the contests are good and withdrawal is fast and easy. As for Drag Trade, it’s a very convenient contest, it lasts only an hour. My opponents were behind only by a little bit, but I was lucky.

Sergiy Zhurkin, Ukraine, the winner of 184th round of Rally Trade

I started trading when I studied at the university. I was studying economy and cybernetics, so you can say that my qualification in a way determined the choice of my hobby. It seemed interesting to try myself as a trader. Trader converts knowledge into money. I learned trading on my own and the difficult part was controlling risks. Trader has to be cold-blooded. I remember clearly my best trade: I earned $1500 in four days, and my initial deposit was $25. The risks of that trade were, of course, pretty high. I always use economic calendar and trade with GBP/JPY and EUR/GPY. I worked with various brokers and I even have my own top list of the most reliable ones. I can recommend Grand Capital. Every Grand Capital contest has its advantages. I participated in several ones and sometimes even took the winning places. This time I won thanks to my experience. It’s way easier to lose than to earn on the market. You have to take trading seriously. I wish everyone to trade profitably!

Abd Elhadi Eslam Mahmud Fuad, Egypt, the winner of 350th round of Drag Trade

I work in tourism, and I got into trading almost by accident. For some time, I looked to invest into something and a friend told me about Forex. I started to read up on the subject, finished several online courses. After several months, I realized that I was ready, I had the knowledge and it was time to find a good broker. I paid attention to broker’s history, looked at how long it has been on the market. Also, fast deposit/withdrawal and order execution were important for me. I have found it all with Grand Capital. Forex is quite popular in my country. I discuss trading nuances and interesting strategies with my Facebook friends, although there are several traders among my offline friends. I’m my own master in trading, I can work at my leisure, when I want and where I want. My favorite trading instruments are GBP/JPY and GBP/USD pairs. I remember that in my first trade I used up all my margin when selling GBP/JPY and lost everything in a matter of seconds. But this experience taught me something. I can give
two pieces of advice to beginner traders: find your broker and use simple strategy.

Meet the newest winners of Grand Capital’s regular contests. Yevgeny Voloboyev shared his experience with Micro Trade, Viktoria Lebedeva told us about her victory in Futures Trade and Khossam Makhmud Akhmed really pushed the envelope and won two of our contests in one week.

Read our winners’ reviews.

Khossam Makhmud Akhmed from Egypt, the winner of 353rd round of Drag Trade and 187th round of Rally Trade

I’ve been trading for about four years. It all started the usual way: I stumbled upon an Internet article on Forex, finished several online courses and chose a reliable broker. I think that Forex is an effective source of income if, of course, you thoroughly study the market and understand its dynamics. Profit can be gained very quickly on the market. That’s why Forex industry is growing. However, the profit can be lost just as quickly. Greed and urge to grab more than you can carry are the marks of a newbie. It seemed like I was a winner only a moment ago, and had a solid growth on my account. But everything can change in a matter of seconds, and you’re an outsider. You have to be patient, set small goals and reach them. My most successful strategy is scalping and my favorite currency pairs are GBP/USD and USD/JPY. When considering a broker, I always pay attention to deposit/withdrawal timespan and order execution. It looks like Grand Capital is honest with its clients. I won two contests in one week. First
it was Drag Trade. The excitement drove me to try Rally Trade, I have to say that in both rounds the weak movement of the prices played into my hands. There weren’t any big pieces of news that week and I was fully in control of the situation. I like both contests, but the hour-long Drag Trade really clicked with me. My advice for the beginners: study hard, practice on demo accounts and find the right broker.

Yevgeny Voloboyev, Belarus, the winner of 73rd round of Micro Trade

My job is managing the art therapy for persons with disabilities. I’ve been trading for three years now. I don’t think that I’ve become a true trader. I just looked to make some money for my projects and I did. I’m a self-taught trader. Sure, sometimes I feel the lack of knowledge and, to be honest, time as well. A trader should always remember why they became a trader in the first place. I only trade EUR/USD pair. I like trading with Grand Capital — they are not pushy and don’t promise the pie in the sky, but at the same time they are reliable and offer a lot of interesting products. I trade on Micro accounts, so Micro Trade contest was right up my alley. The prospect of winning is an extra incentive. It’s a pity you can only win once! I was overwhelmed when I won, as I hadn’t expected it at all and it was a hell of a news! My advice is to keep a cool head and don’t let the passion and impatience get the best of you. If you’re going to start trading in earnest, I wish you to have all the knowledge. I wish G
rand Capital team strength and success. “If the end is the salvation of the soul, then the end justifies the means” as Ignatius of Loyola said.

Viktoria Lebedeva from Russia, the winner if 49th round of Futures Trade

I’m an economist and work as a manager of retail shops. I’ve been trading for about three years in total. A lot of people don’t get the essence of trading and perceive the market as gambling, a casino. It’s a common misconception, however. I expand my knowledge through various Forex forums and info resourses like RBC, Finam and Bloomberg. Controlling your losses is difficult. That’s why a competent trader should have the nerves of steel to have a sober overview of the market situation. I consider every profitable trade a victory. I chose Grand Capital because of the vast variety of instruments and long history of the company. Obviously, contest strategy is different from the real one, you don’t lose your money on a demo account. I decided to participate in Futures Trade because of the biggest prize and because it’s easier to actualize all your capabilities in the span of a week, than a day of an hour. I recommend the beginners to read more, analyze the news and, of course, to participate in contests’.
