Grand Capital traders are hard to beat on the first try. Interview with Vyacheslav Vyushkin, Futures Trade contest winner

 

If your goal is clear enough, you’re going to reach it sooner or later. Vyacheslav Vyushkov, the winner of round 44 of Futures Trade, has been longing to become a trader for a long time. And this ambition has finally borne fruit years later: profitable trades and successfully developed strategies. In the interview Vyacheslav shared his reflections on what’s the difference between the contest and real trading and told us why he simply doesn’t distinguish futures from currency pairs.

«I rely on my intuition and BB indicator»

My line of work is civil engineering, construction of roads and aerodromes, but perestroika made me a jack-of-all-trades. As far back as the previous century I read a book on Forex and became extremely enthusiastic about becoming a trader. In the early 2000s I went to trading classes, took a loan, bought a PC and lost my first deposit. Yet I persistently kept on learning and trying. After all these years I realized that the biggest mistake of all traders is to expect the price to reverse to win back the deposit. But the price just keeps going in the same direction and traders lose their deposits. I have learned this the hard way, and I always try to close trades promptly. Usually I look for a good price movement in the charts and place trades there. I have developed quite a few strategies, but mainly I rely on my intuition and BB indicator (Bollinger Bands indicator). I don’t distinguish between futures, currency pairs and other instruments. Price movement is always unpredictable and you need to make a forecast.

The difference between the contest and real trading strategies lies in the degree of risk and execution speed

When choosing a broker, I look up traders’ reviews and only then I look at swaps, bonuses and contests. Futures Trade wasn’t my first contest. I think Grand Capital traders are hard to beat on the first try. My strategy for contests is different from real trading by the degree of risk and execution speed. If you compete with a multitude of seasoned traders and don’t risk large numbers of lots, someone else would come first. You may not believe it, but it was solitude that helped me win this round. My wife was away at the time and I free from her “When are you going to throw away the Christmas tree?” nagging. Of course it’s a joke, but peace and quiet surely contributed to my victory. I like everything about Grand Capital contests. I like the intensity, brain exercise, and an opportunity to test my strategy. I wish all traders not to give up!

Sky is the limit. Interview with Anatoly Shevchenko, the winner of 178th round of Rally Trade

 

Sometimes lightning actually does strike the same place twice. Anatoly Shevchenko from Krasnodar Krai won our Drag Trade contest in 2013 and now he proved that the sky is the limit, having won Rally Trade. In the interview Anatoly told us how he managed to best all his opponents one more time and what part Japanese yen had in it.

$6000 in a couple of minutes

I’ve been interested in trading since 2000, but it was more of a hobby at first. For fifteen years I had been working in IT department at a local telephone exchange office: I used to do programming and technical support. But now, when I have no permanent occupation, I can give all my attention to trading and try to make a living off it. I began with reading Adam Smith, Charles Dow and books on candlestick charts, actively participated in trading contests. In 2013 I took the first place in Drag Trade contest. I even remembered the date — 13th December, 2013. But now I was just lucky. About 6AM (UTC+4) Japanese yen made a spike upwards and went up 70 points, I managed to take 45 of them and thus gained $6000 in a couple of minutes. This was the trade that got me to the first place.

«I deposited 1000 rubles and earned about 8 of my usual salaries»

Sometimes you are lucky enough to place as much as 30 profitable trades in a row. Once, in 2006, I was on holiday and earned about 8 of my usual salaries, with the initial deposit of just 1000 rubles. Mainly I use ordinary indicators like Fractals, Bollingers Bands, Moving Avarage, draw Fibonacci retracement and resistance trend lines. Speaking of the instruments, I trade currency pairs, namely EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, USDCHF, EURJPY, GBPJPY, AUDUSD, NSDUSD and also gold and silver. What advice can I give to beginners? I suppose, to be disciplined and control your losses. Keep your risks as low as possible — Euro can move 150 points in a couple of hours with no effort. As for the indicators and strategies, I think everyone should choose and test them on their own.

Never break trading rules. Interview with Dmitry Myasnikov, the winner of $200 in Drag Trade

 

When there are no rules, trading turns into chaos. When your own money is at stake, the value of rules becomes more obvious than ever. So thinks Dmitry Myasnikov, the winner of 337th round of Drag Trade. In the interview, he told us of his serious approach to Forex and the maxims of his multicurrency trading system.

Trader’s path

My very first trade was placed on a demo account in late 2009. The next year I started trading on real accounts and participating in contests on demo accounts along the way. I’m an accountant, but recently I’ve been working remotely from home for health reasons. I try to spend three hours a day on Forex, and I trade every day. I’m sure that anyone can become a trader as long as they don’t break their own rules and trade with multicurrency system. Now Forex is my favorite hobby, but I hope it becomes my primary occupation in five years or so, since the potential profit is not limited by anything. It’s easier for me to trade on five small accounts with $200 on each, than on a single one with $1000. I expect at least 3% profit from each of my accounts, but the last month resulted in 10% to 25% profit.

My trading system

I don’t pay heed to analytic forecasts. Every morning I look through the economic calendar, watch news and if something important comes up, I try to avoid trading half an hour before and after the publication. Or at least I trade with instruments that likely won’t be affected by that particular piece of news. When opening trades, I rely on signals I received from my own trading system. I repeat myself, it is vitally important to develop your own trading system and never break its rules. My trading system is multi-currency, it’s adapted for all currency pairs. The system is based on the crossing of moving averages, 50 and 100, and also AO indicator from MT4. Within my system I trade only with the trend direction on H4 and H1 charts. AO indicator on H4 chart confirms direction of the trend.

Trading instruments

Almost every day I open short-term scalping trades. I have experience and a developed multi-currency trading system, so now I can trade any instruments from MT4, even metals and oil. One of my first exotic instruments was GBP/HUF pair (British pound/Hungarian forint). The spread was 65 points, but I was easily expecting profit from 500 points, and sometimes even up to 2000.

Drag Trade contest

Grand Capital offers favorable conditions, competitive spreads and fast withdrawal. And Drag Trade is the only contest where you can win real money in an hour of trading. I won thanks to correctly chosen instrument, GBP/NZD pair. I assumed that it was headed for correction (for about 100 points) and during the contest I traded only with it. And so I won.

Grand Capital receives "Best Trading Technology" award

 

We are thrilled to announce that during the Moscow Financial Expo , which took place on the 2-3rd of November, Grand Capital was awarded the "Best Trading Technology" cup. It is not the first award coming from the professional community. One year earlier, the company took the "Best ECN Broker"  award and was awarded "Best Micro Broker"  and "Best Binary Options Broker"  titles before that.

Stanislav Vaneev, CEO Grand Capital:

"An effective competition in the financial industry is above all, competition of technologies. The more convenient services are, the better they correlate with the current situation on the market and traders' expectations, the more chances there are that a company becomes №1 broker for its clients. Last year we've had many successful projects and many more are still ahead of us. What's most important is that we see the direction we should move in. This award showed us that we are doing things right."

Yours truly,
Grand Capital team.

We regularly hold trading contests and interview our winners. However, since Grand Capital has many contests and many winners, we decided to change the format of this news section. We value the substantively of information most of all. That’s why from now on we are going to gather several reviews of our winners in a single newsletter. Traders share their impressions of the past contest rounds and tell about profitable strategies, and we sum up the most interesting moments.

We present to you the feedback of our recent winners. Today we have two “Drag Trade” winners, one “Rally Trade” winner and a “Futures Trade” winner.

Denis Bulatov, Russia, the winner of 340th round of “Drag Trade”:

I became a trader by accident. About five years ago, I saw a Forex commercial and decided to give it a try. I learned trading on the web: downloaded video lessons and visited forums. I didn’t meet any particular difficulties while learning. The most important thing is patience, the rest will come. The most unsuccessful trade happened when I was a beginner. Then I learned what gap for $1500 after the weekend is. I didn’t close my positions on Friday, and on Monday I was shocked. Long story short, I learned my lesson the hard way. So here goes my advice for the beginners: do not leave opened positions for a weekend. I prefer trading with USD/ZAR (South African rand) pair in contests, but I don’t use it on my real account. I chose Grand Capital primarily for the diversity of contest. I love competition, when it doesn’t drain my wallet. Luck and a little of experience helped me win. I wish everyone successful trading!

Didik Dharmadie, Indonesia, the winner of 180th round of “Rally Trade”:

I’m 32 and I live in Bengkulu City, I work in telecommunications industry. First time I heard about Forex from my friend. Almost everything I know about trading, I learned from him. Forex is quite popular in Indonesia, especially in my city. Many private companies offer brokerage services here. In trading, I use trend lines and fundamental analysis. The only problem is that sometimes it’s difficult to cope with your emotions after lost trades. My most memorable trade was when GBP plummeted and couldn’t recover for several months. “Rally Trade” contest helps polish your trading strategies, including intraday trading. The prize is a pleasant addition, of course. My advice to beginners is not to give up after losses and difficulties. Keep practicing and you’ll learn to control your losses with time. Also, master money-management techniques, they’ll help you manage your risks!

Andriy Neznayko, Ukraine, the winner of 45th round of “Futures Trade”:

I don’t have a lot of experience in trading. I’ve been trading for a little over half a year. Once I saw my acquaintance earn 11 USD in 10 minutes on Forex. Now I understand that it’s bare minimum, but then it impressed me. I watched a half an hour film about Forex, grasped the key-note (buy for less, sell for more), learned the terms, talked to people on forums. So, I decided for myself that was possible. My strategy is simple: move with the trend. It’s no surprise they say “Trend is our friend”. As a beginner, I often approached customer support. Grand Capital experts always helped me and answered all my questions. I like the diversity of contests that Grand Capital offers. Having read the interviews with the winners I realized that people actually participate and win. And I said to myself “Why not me?”. Guys, what I’m saying is, learn, try, listen to your experienced colleagues. But draw your own conclusions!

Mehmat Seylan, Turkey, the winner of 342nd round of “Drag Trade”:

I’m a student and don’t work yet. I started trading because I wanted stable extra income. In Turkey Forex is quite popular, but at the same time is over-regulated. For example, maximum leverage offered by local brokers is 1:50. I learned to trade on my own. Started with Internet articles, then read more serious books. Nothing brings my such pleasure like a profitable trade. In trading I follow the market trend and use several moving averages for determining the current situation on the market. The entry and exit points I get using Fibonacci retracement. Usually I trade with GBP/JPY, GBP/CAD, AUD/JPY, XAU/USD pairs, but on my demo account I try other instruments. The contests help polish your skills, and in case of victory — bring money. What I want to say to beginners, is learn more and keep trading, until you find your own method.

Trade and win with Grand Capital!

In 2016 Grand Capital received ISO certificate, which means that Grand Capital management system meets the requirements of the international standard (ISO 9001-2011).

 

It’s great news for everyone at Grand Capital. We put together this 101 on the subject: what is ISO, why ISO standards are important for the company, and on top of all that, how it benefits our clients.

What is an ISO standard?

ISO stands for International Organization for Standardization. The organization was founded in 1946 and since that time has been engaged in developing and issuing international standards for various fields. The company’s name is a reference to a Greek word “isos”, meaning “equal” and is recognized in every language. Thus, the name perfectly reflects the idea of ISO: equal conditions and equal international standards.
ISO standard is a document that specifies the requirements for products, procedures and services. Certified organizations examine a certain company in accordance with ISO standards and issue a corresponding certificate. ISO standards are constantly being edited and updated.

Why is it important for the company?

ISO international standards provide tools for development. They help companies to enter new markets, increase sales, win clients’ loyalty and improve their production system.
Grand Capital received ISO certificate that is applicable to such fields as advisory services, auditing, design, development, implementing, testing and maintenance of software, automated information systems, robotic systems, system solutions, business applications.

How it benefits our clients?

ISO certificate is not mandatory, but it’s a kind of benchmark of quality for companies. The presence of the certificate guarantees that the company provides reliable and safe services that meet the international standards.
Grand Capital cares about quality of the services it provides. We hope that our clients will continue to enjoy our products and services.

Grand Capital team.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2017!

 

Happy New Year 2017!



Stanislav Vaneev, CEO Grand Capital:

Dear clients, partners and colleagues!

I wish you a happy New Year from the bottom of my heart! As tradition has it, every year we round-up all the results of our work so that together we can evaluate our efficiency, achievements and map out plans for the future.

2016 turned out to be quite exciting and eventful, thanks to which a lot of traders were able to reap a very good return! The world has surprised us once more, having shown that the predictions are just that, someone’s predictions, while the result is often unpredictable. For example, when there are sudden market crashes, or a presidential election upset. It is quite illustrative and once again supports the notion that you should only trust your own forecasts and manage your risks properly.

2016 was a successful year for Grand Capital. The company grew bigger, expanded to the new markets. Here are some figures that prove my point:

Total average monthly revenue went up by 2,5 times in the last two years and reached $4,7bln.

102 000 traders became clients of Grand Capital.


13 new offices opened in Russia, Kazakhstan, the Netherlands, South Africa, India and Ukraine.

The company granted 7 309 bonuses to clients and organized 103 contests for traders.

In 2016 Grand Capital grew in technology, flexibility and size. The company received “Best trading technology”, and “Best affiliate program” awards and went up in the top-brokers rating. Grand Capital started its own educational project — a financial newspaper, available in Russian. The company adopted new languages: Arabic, Portuguese, Polish, Malay, Thai, Vietnamese.

This year Grand Capital celebrated its 10th anniversary. 10 years is an impressive run for a financial broker. Back in 2006 we started out with one office in Saint Petersburg. In these 10 years GC grew into an international financial company, having become a reliable intermediary on financial markets for thousands of traders worldwide.

We all deserve the credit of all these achievements together. I thank our partners for the enormous amount of work done this year. I thank our clients for choosing Grand Capital as their personal broker. 10 years marks a new beginning. I’m sure that even bigger successes and records lay ahead of us. We have huge plans for 2017 — receiving CySEC license, the launch of mobile Binary trading app, updated WebTrader version for Binary Options, better execution, launch of new services and interesting promotions.

Once again, I wish you a happy New Year!

Let this year be a year of achievements. Let your most daring financial ambitions be fulfilled, and let you and your loved ones always be in good health! May all your dreams and wishes come true!

Have a merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

Grand Capital celebrated its 10th anniversary

Grand Capital celebrated its 10th anniversary on December 10th. During the past year, we've been launching various GC anniversary promotions and giving our presents to our clients. In early December Grand Capital team has gathered to celebrate the important date. The event was attended by the employees of the company’s HQ in Saint Petersburg, some of Grand Capital partners and special guests.

To start the evening, Grand Capital CEO, Sanislav Vaneyev addressed the guests with a congratulatory speech:

«Recently I was asked how the company has changed in the last 10 years. And I couldn’t find the answer at once to this, seemingly simple question. Exactly 10 years have passed since the moment that Grand Capital had opened its doors to the first clients in 2006. Today we are an international company with more than 40 offices around the world. I have to say thank you to our employees for all these achievements. You’re doing an enormous job to keep the company growing and prospering. In these 10 years, a lot of people came and went and every one of them played an important role in the development of the company. However, I think that at this precise point in time the perfect team is gathered at Grand Capital. I’m really glad it’s like that. Thank you for your professionalism and enthusiasm! Also, I want to say special thanks to our partners. You’re what keeps this company running in particular regions and countries. Thank you for your trust and ambition!»

Next, we proceeded with the best partners award ceremony. Our partners from Ufa, Orenburg, Kazan, Almaty, Karaganda, Kyiv, Kharkiv and Bila Tserkva were noted in separate categories (Best Partner, Most Reliable Partner, For Professionalism, For Dynamic Development etc.) and was awarded with a custom engraved cup.

The evening passed under the principle of “freedom of mic”. Everyone was able to say a few words about Grand Capital. The employees and guests congratulated the company on its birthday and wished it a further development.

After the official part was over, the guests listened to jazz and celebrated the upcoming Christmas and New Year with Santa Claus.

This event was the final chord in the anniversary year of Grand Capital. We awarded those who contributed to the company in these ten years and embraced the corporate spirit, so that we can work even more diligently in the next year.

Here’s the photo report of the event:

«CySEC license will open new markets to us». Interview with Grand Capital CEO Stanislav Vaneev



Grand Capital CEO Stanislav Vaneev sat down with Finance Magnates  to discuss the over-regulation of the Forex industry, CySEC license and investment services.

Please tell about yourself and how you reached your current role

I graduated from the University of Architecture and Civil Engineering at the time of perestroika, a Russian version of the Great Depression. My career in architecture didn’t promise decent income, so I decided to try myself in the field of entrepreneurship. I’ve opened and closed quite a few businesses, there was even time when I was organizing rave parties. However, I have always been interested in financial markets, stock trading in particular.
One day my interest led me to the Moscow exchange and since then my professional life has been associated with it. I have built up a team of like-minded professionals and opened the very first Grand Capital office in 2006. Now the company has over 40 offices all over the world.
I am convinced that one of the major success factors for any entrepreneur is the people who work alongside them. Our team consists of enthusiastic young professionals, who help me move the company forward. The success of the company and its rapid growth in the recent years would not have been possible without the great people that work and have worked in Grand Capital.

What are your goals for the company for the next few years?

Providing services for forex traders is not our only focus. We also invest in IT heavily. One of our most recent projects is UpTrader, a brokerage software development company. The fact that it took only one year for the company to gain popularity on the market shows how insightful we were to see the potential for such an offer. At the moment there is no other company on the market that develops literally everything that is needed to start a brokerage from scratch. The company takes on complicated projects, from a trader’s area to CRM and bonus programs, all tailored to the clients’ individual needs, as well as develops turnkey solutions.

Another interesting project is Grand Class, a remote education system, which addresses the need of thousands of schools and companies to have a reliable online education software. So far the project only exists on Russian market, but it will be available in a variety of languages in the nearest future.

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.

Interview with our contest winners. A profitable trade is already a victory.

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’.
