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!”

Interview with Future Trade contest winner: “Make your own decisions in trading, but heed the advice of the professionals”

The winner of the 62nd round of Future Trade  is Yusuf Darmawan from Indonesia. Yusuf spent 20 hours straight in front of the monitor keeping track of the price movements. His preferred strategy and persistence helped him win the contest’s main prize, $1000 no-deposit bonus.

Tell us a little about yourself, what is your occupation?

I’m a forwarding agent, I deliver documents and various valuables from my company’s head office to other cities.

How did you become a trader? For how long have you been trading?

A friend told me about Forex back in 2012. I have since read up on the subject and started trading in earnest in 2014.

Are financial markets popular in Indonesia?

I think that Forex is quite a popular trend now not only in my country but worldwide. Many brokers, Grand Capital included, hold educational seminars here in Indonesia. Thanks to these, a lot more people are getting to know about trading.

What’s the most attractive thing about trading for you?

I love trading because it demands different kinds of knowledge, from psychology to mathematical analysis.

Tell us about how you learned trading. What difficulties did you come across in the beginning?

At first, a friend was teaching me. Then I started learning on my own, read articles on the web and trained on a demo account. The hardest thing was to learn how to determine short and long positions.

Tell us about your most memorable trade.

It was Friday. The stock exchange was closing up and I made my bet on downtrend. On Monday the upper position surged and I lost my money. I was only a beginner then and I didn’t realize that in two days the market situation can change drastically. It was my biggest loss and I don’t make such mistakes anymore.

What strategies do you prefer? What strategies proved to be most successful?

I use High Low strategy. I place a long position if the indicator is oversold and vice versa.

What are your favorite trading instruments?

I like trading highly volatile contracts. My preferred instruments are gold, oil, GBP/USD and USD/CAD.

What’s the most important thing about a broker? How do you choose one and why have you picked Grand Capital?

The most important criterion is fast and secure withdrawal. It’s also quite important for brokers to offer profitable promotions and bonuses. Grand Capital ticks all the boxes.

Why have you decided to enter Future Trade?

I took part in the previous round of the contest, but I didn’t reach the top. So I was very excited and the main prize also provided a huge incentive.

What helped you win?

My strategy and persistence. I was carefully following the price movements for 20 hours straight. Yes, it was exactly my careful attention to trends that helped me win.

What would you recommend for beginners?

Some say that you shouldn’t trust the opinion of others and you should only rely on your own one. It’s so, but I would add that sometimes it’s still useful to heed the advice of the professionals. My advice for newcomers: don’t give up and go for the victory!

Interview with contest winners: “Experience is the best teacher for traders”

We think that it is important for traders to learn from their own mistakes and for that reason we asked our contest winners to share their most cringing mistakes. Despite the fails, they didn’t stop trading and have gained more than they’ve lost.

Marina Zorina from Russia, the winner of round 2017 of Rally Trade  contest with the main prize of $500 no-deposit bonus. Previously also won in Futures Trade 

• Trading experience: 10 years
  
• Favorite trading instruments: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, and other majors
  
• Trading strategy: scalping
  

“I’ve been trading for a long time and my perspective on trading has changed significantly with time. When I just started there was this rush, adrenaline, but now I am more patient and steady going. Trading has become a daily work for me. I start my day with analysis of currency pairs, then I check the time of important news releases and build my trading strategy from there. I only trade major currency pairs as I don’t see the point in spreading your attention over a huge amount of trading instruments. I like Rally Trade contest because of the one-day time limit. It is the right time to test the trading strategy. In this round my main competitor was a trader from Kalinovka, I saw our balances constantly changing. I own my victory to scalping, which I use in my everyday trading.”

Alexey Kotlyarov from Belarus, winner of the 416th round of Drag Trade  contest with the main prize of real $200

• Trading experience: 4 years
  
• Favourite trading instruments: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, sometimes GBP/JPY, EUR/JPY
  
• Favorite indicators: ZigZag and moving average
  

“I am 25 years old, I work as a window fitter. I learned to trade on my own by trial and error. At first I failed a lot. I consider my biggest mistake the loss of $4000, which I raised from only $500 in one month. Funny enough, losing it took only one hour 😞 Now I am more cautious. Experience is, indeed, the best teacher. When, sitting by that monitor, you realise that you can’t control your emotions, it is the best to just stand up and give yourself a good 5-10 minute walk. I don’t set extreme goals in trading, as it is more of an extra source of income for my family budget. What’s most important in Drag Trade is to determine which instruments you are going to trade with. You only have one hour and the volatility is extremely important here. That’s why I chose CAD for this round, because of the high volatility. As usual, I used wave analysis. Frankly speaking, I was surprised with my results. When the final results were published, I realized that “too cool for school” is not the line of thinking for this contest. My closest competitor was only a couple of pips behind.”

Alexander Markov from Russia, the winner of the 417th round of Drag Trade  contest. Received the real $200

• Trading experience: 3 years
  
• Favorite trading instruments: major currency pairs
  
• Trading strategy: intraday
  

“I am 22 and I work as a manager. My friend got me “hooked” with trading. As any novice, I’ve made lots and lots of mistakes. I remember elevating my balance during the whole week and ended up multiplying my deposit by 5 times and on Friday I’ve lost everything because of news. I was honestly grieving. I only trade currencies, It may seem really simple — all you need is to predict whether the price will go up or down. Oh, how much effort it takes to comprehend how it all works... I use intraday strategy and scalping. I can’t wait for too long and set 100-point stop losses. When I choose a broker I pay attention to the spread, execution speed, commissions and, of course, withdrawals. I like Grand Capital contests because they are short. I don’t have time for spending long days in front of a monitor. I pay my respects to my luck for winning this round. Last time I took the second place, I missed just a little. My advice for novices is to look for their strategy or a system. When you find it, don’t give us even if sometimes something goes wrong.”

“Don’t be afraid of losses, they must be a part of your trading plan” — interview with Drag Trade contest winner



The winner of the 421st round of Drag Trade , Denis Nemchinov is a trader with 14 years of experience. He told us how he had learned trading and why the emotions gave way to calculations.

• Trading experience: 14 years
  
• Preferred instruments: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/CAD, AUD/USD
  
• Trading strategies: intraday scalping
  

Tell us about yourself: your work, hobbies?

I’m 35 and I’m a business owner. I love miniature sculpting and sports.

How did you become a trader? For how long have you been trading?

I’d always been interested in Forex trading, and I started getting into it myself in 2004. I didn’t learn trading properly, I simply read professional books and visited online forums. Now many brokers offer educational courses and webinars where you can get all the necessary knowledge. For those who are already familiar with the basics, the most effective way of learning is the trading itself, immersion into the market.

Has your attitude towards trading changed over the time?

At first, I viewed trading as a game and approached it with thrill and excitement. Now it’s all figures and charts to me, rational calculation and understanding that knowledge and hard work are behind all this.

What are your goals and what trading achievements are you planning to make?

I don’t set any specific goals for myself. For me, trading is a mental workout with profit as a pleasant bonus.

Tell us about your most successful, most unsuccessful or just memorable trade.

My most memorable trade was also my first one. I’ll never forget my feelings when I blew $1000 on my account. After that, I started actively reading professional books and learn the basics of trading.

How do you handle anxiety while trading? What helps you control your emotions?

I try to think through all the minute details of a trade, where to open a position, where to close, what are some of the possible negative scenarios in my situation. That’s why when a position is open and the levels are set, the trade is set in motion and doesn’t require my attention. I minimize the trading terminal and go about other things and check the result some time later.

What’s important for you when choosing a broker? Why Grand Capital?

It’s important for a broker to have a decent reputation on the market, convenient trading conditions and good relationship with clients. Grand Capital checks all these boxes. I started trading with this company on the advice of my friends. I liked the favorable conditions and the wide range of services.

What do you like about Grand Capital contests?

I like that the contests are very different, held quite often and don’t last very long, without dragging on for months. And, of course, good prizes that provide the incentive for further trading with Grand Capital.

Tell us about this round, what strategy did you use, what helped you win?

To be fair, the victory was a big and pleasant surprise for me. My strategy was aggressive scalping with large volumes and high risks.

What’s your word of advice for novice traders?

It might sound corny, but you have to learn. Not only the technical aspects and basic concepts but the understanding of the market. Don’t be afraid if losses, they must become a part of your trading plan. Try to get rid of fear and excessive excitement. Emotions create the wrong approach to trading.

Interview with contest winners: “I believe that understanding of the market comes with time”

In today’s interview round-up meet the new winners of Drag Trade  and Rally Trade  contests and read the inspiring story of Rustam Pak from Indonesia. He started trading at 58 and now has been trading only for a bit over a year. He himself thinks he was introduced to trading quite late, but it doesn’t stand in the way of his success, for instance, in Grand Capital contests.

Rustam Pak, Indonesia, the winner of the 423rd round of Drag Trade, received real 200$

• Trading experience: 1 year
  
• Preferred trading strategy: High-Low
  

I’m 59 and I’m a business owner. I was introduced to Forex trading by my nephew. He taught me to open positions in MT4 trading platform and gradually I got interested in trading. As a businessman, I’m interested in trades with fast return and I view Forex as a source of income to fuel my business. Forex trading is often associated with anxiety. My way of dealing with it involves the idea that even the price isn’t moving in the direction I anticipated, it will sooner or later return to the starting point. Grand Capital was recommended to me by friends. I followed their advice and wasn’t disappointed. I participate in Grand Capital contests because they provide an opportunity to earn money and practice trading skills at the same time. Also, a contest is a great chance to prove that you’re better and faster than anybody. I’m new to trading and my advice to the newcomers like myself is to never stop learning. I believe that with time the understanding of the market what direction it’s moving in will come.

Sergey Kanalyin, Russia, the winner of the 221st round of Rally Trade, received a no-deposit bonus of $500

• Trading experience: 9 years
  
• Preferred trading instruments: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, AUD/USD, GOLD
  

I’m 44 and I’ve been trading for 9 years now. It’s my primary source of income. I became a trader by chance, I heard somewhere about Forex and started reading up on the subject. First I started trading on demo accounts, then on Micro accounts. A lot happened during these 9 years, there were losses as well as trades that brought decent income. I consider my greatest accomplishment in trading to be the time when I earned $3500 from a $500 deposit in 2 months. The most attractive thing about trading for me is independence. I mostly trade such currency pairs as EUR/USD, GBP/USD, AUD/USD, and also gold. I can recommend to novice traders to be more patient, don’t open orders right after starting up the platform, wait for the correct pattern. It’s easy to open a wrong order, while it’s much more difficult to exit such a trade without losing anything. I was introduced to Grand Capital 7 years ago. During this period the company proved to be a reliable broker. I’ve been taking part in Rally Trade contest for 5 years, but not very often. All these years I had hope to take the 1st place and finally, I did it. I wish more profitable trades for everyone!

Nadezhda Savochkina, Uzbekistan, the winner of the 442nd round of Drag Trade, received real $200

• Trading experience: 6 years
  
• Preferred trading instruments: major currency pairs
  

I’m 43 and my work is in the service sector. I enjoy poetry. I’ve been trading currency for 6 years already. During this period I began to understand the behavior of the market and learned to recognize trends. The goal of my trading is a small, yet constant income. I participate in contests and I think that they are a great opportunity to obtain practical trading skills. When trading I try not to worry and remain calm even if something drastic happens, since any kind of excitement leads to bad decisions. When choosing a broker I pay attention to how long they’ve been on the market, their position in ratings and the reviews of traders. I like working with grand Capital since this company is great in all these respects. My advice for beginners is not to despair and keep trading despite the losses. In time you’ll have more experience in time and make up for all you’ve lost. Good luck and more profit!

Interview with the winners of rounds 427 and 428 of Drag Trade

Before our trading contests went on summer break, we spoke with our winners of the 427th and 428th rounds of Drag Trade  and asked them to share their recipes for success in Forex.

Vadim Artemchenko, the winner of 427th round of Drag Trade, received real $200

• Trading experience: 1 year
  
• Preferred trading instruments: those with positive swap and long one-direction movements
  

I’m 21, I go to a technical university and one of my hobbies is Forex trading. I’ve not been doing it for too long, so I’m still learning. I don’t rule out the possibility of changing my mind about trading, but right now my goal is to start getting regular income and make it my main source of income. My most memorable trade was “sell in may and go away” with EUR/USD this year. I prefer medium-term trading because it’s easier to handle my anxiety this way. I pay attention to reputation and reliability when choosing a broker. Judging by the reviews, Grand Capital does well according to these criteria. I like taking part in contests because they give an opportunity to compare your skills to that of the other traders and start trading on a real account without the initial deposit if you win. Drag Trade lasts only an hour and a lot depends on the choice of instrument, so the most difficult part was to find a currency pair ready to take off right then and there.

Igor Puchkov, the winner of 428th round of Drag Trade, received real $200

• Trading experience: 7 years
  
• Preferred trading instruments: NZD/USD, EUR/USD
  
• Preferred trading strategies: day trading
  

I’m 51, I work in purchasing and also I’m into fishing. I passed special training courses and studied a lot on my own to learn trading. The most effective way of learning is practice, the Forex trading per se. Although I’ve been trading for 7 years, my attitude towards it haven’t changed much, I still like it. My goal is to make $100,000. My most memorable trade was when I managed to increase my deposit from $2 to $100. It’s impossible to cope with anxiety when trading, sometimes I just step away from the monitor. When choosing a broker it’s necessary to make sure that their quotes are correct and that the withdrawals are carried out without delays. I liked Grand Capital because the company has a representative office in Tolyatti. I won Drag Trade partly due to the well-timed growth of NZD and thanks to my discipline I didn’t exit the trade.

Currently our trading contests are on summer break . They will be resumed in due time, stay tuned for the updates!

Grand Capital becomes the first broker to integrate Serenity Escrow

Dear clients,

Last October we announced  the launch of Serenity  project, a secure trading platform. It was developed through the efforts of the Serenity team and our tech partner, UpTrader .

According to its founders, the goal of Serenity is to protect traders' funds with smart contracts and to protect traders’ accounts from theft and any other unlawful operations.

Today we are pleased to announce that the first version of Escrow has been launched. Grand Capital became the first broker to adopt the service and make it available for our clients.

Stanislav Vaneev, Grand Capital CEO:

"Our company has always striven for transparency in Forex. It’s not a secret that there’s a problem of traders’ distrust in brokers. For a long time attempts were made to solve this problem by legal means, namely, by licensing. However, due to a number of factors, a license is not always a guarantee of quality of services and security of clients’ funds. Now, thanks to the modern technology, this issue can finally be solved globally for the whole market, for companies and traders worldwide. Serenity is a wonderful project driven by young and talented people. Grand Capital became the first broker to start testing Serenity Escrow, which makes trader-broker interaction secure and transparent. The idea of Escrow based on smart contracts was supported by a large number of companies, among them our friends and partners. We believe that all these companies, like us, will cooperate with this young project. After all, most of us share the same values: transparent and honest work".

Advantages of Escrow for traders

Let’s reiterate the advantages of Serenity for traders:

• It guarantees the security of funds on a trading account. For a deposit or withdrawal operation to be executed, it must be approved by at least two parties, This means that any actions concerning a client’s deposit must be confirmed by the trader, broker or Serenity;
  
• Serenity serves as an arbitrator in broker-trader disputes. If the trader thinks that there’s been an unwarranted charge on their account, they submit a claim to Serenity. If the arbitrator rules in the trader’s favor, the broker must satisfy the claim.
  

How start using Escrow?

You need to:
1. Register on Escrow  website;
2. Open a new Standard trading account (please, note that you can’t use your already existing Grand Capital accounts);
3. Make a deposit.

In what currencies can you deposit through Escrow?

Currently, you can trade using Escrow with a Grand Capital Standard account denominated in USD and ETH with Market Execution.

You can deposit to accounts created in Escrow  in ETH and TUSD/USDT, the cryptocurrencies anchored to USD. 1 TUSD = 1 USDT =1 USD.

Project recognition

Serenity project was approved by numerous prominent fintech personalities: Dmitry Rannev (founder of AMTS Solutions), Dmitry Orlov (founder and developer of PAMM/RAMM technology), Yulia Mikhalchuk (cryptocurrency attorney, CorpLaw.Pro), Pyotr Tatarnikov (representative of The Financial Commission executive board) and many others.

WINNER OF 236TH ROUND OF DRAF TRADE: I’M HAPPY TO HAVE BECOME A TRADER

Read the interviews of Drag Trade and Rally Trade winners in our latest round-up.

Hosni Nour from Tunisia, the winner of the 453rd round of Drag Trade, received real $200

I’m 29, my hobbies are Forex trading and sports. I prefer trading EUR/USD, GBP/USD/ USD/JPY, USD/ZAR, I use scalping and technical analysis. My goal is to start earning my living by trading. My most successful trade ever was my victory in this contest. When trading, I’m able to overcome anxiety thanks to my confidence and patience. I like Grand Capital contests because they are held weekly. Also, the company offers low spreads and many simple, convenient deposit and withdrawal methods.

Khan Junaid, Pakistan, the winner of the 236th round of Rally Trade, received $500 no-deposit bonus

I like trading USD/JPY, GBP/JPY, EUR/JPY. I’m constantly adjusting my trading style according to current market trends. Especially at the start of a new trading quarter. Among Grand Capital contests I prefer Rally Trade, because I like the prizes. This was a great round. At first, I thought I wasn’t going to win because there were many strong opponents. However, I opened several really good positions and shot ahead! Following the trend is a good habit, it’s a sure way to success. Becoming a trader requires time, you have to be patient and cool-headed. All in all, you don’t need any special skills to become a Forex trader. You only need to be calm and invest only a part of your income. Never put all your money into it. Before placing each trade I set Take Profit and Stop Loss and never risk my money outside of these levels. Before entering the market, I always examine its daily behavior. I still haven’t achieved what I want in trading. I’ve had both many failures and very profitable trades. I’m happy to have become a trader.

Interview with contest winners: my most effective trades are those done in accordance with my strategy

We asked the winners of Drag Trade to share with us what instruments and strategies help them earn profit from Forex trades. Read their answers in our latest round-up.

Abdelkader Toubal, Algiers, the winner of the 455th round of Drag Trade, received real $200

Trading experience: 5 years
Preferred instruments: major currency pairs, gold, and oil
Trading strategy: scalping
Indicators: Moving Averages, MACD

I’m 40, I own a small car business. I have always been attracted to the financial industry, but I never imagined you could trade in Forex in the comfort of your home. After a period of education, I started trading. My goal is to become a professional trader, receive a decent income to change my life and country.

My most effective trades are those done thoroughly in accordance with my trading strategy. It’s not even important whether they are profitable or losing, it’s important to develop your strategy further and make it work in the end. Usually I’m very emotional, however, when it comes to trading, I try to get a grip on myself. Classical music helps me with this. If I feel like I’m too anxious and can’t trade, I get on my bike and ride somewhere. When I was choosing a broker, I looked through online rankings, compared deposit and withdrawal methods. I started trading with Grand Capital because of the many opportunities that they offer: Crypto and Swap Free trading accounts, lots of deposit and withdrawal options, bonuses and contests. Among the contests, I like Drag Trade and Rally Trade most of all, while Future Trade is a bit too difficult for me. This round was quite hard. First, I lost the profit from my first trade, though I was one step away from winning, then I had to close the second trade, but I still won. My piece of advice for beginners is to work with honest brokers, like Grand Capital, keep to one strategy, keep on learning and discover something new every day.

Mahtab Yar, Pakistan, the winner of the 456tgh round of Drag Trade, received real $200

Trading experience: 5 years
Preferred trading instruments: CFD
Trading strategy: fundamental analysis
Indicators: Bollinger bands

My name is Mahtab Yar, I’m 28 and I’m a tourism agent. Forex trading is my passion. I studied websites of brokers, checked their news and watched webinars to learn more about trading. I want to earn enough money through trading to start my own tourism business. Every trade with stop loss which resulted in profit is a successful trade, while an unsuccessful trade means that I forgot to set up the orders. My trading style is quite measured. Every time something goes wrong and I can’t handle the emotions, I simply stop trading and don’t return to the market until I feel the trend. I like brokers with good tech support and fast deposit. I decided to take part in a Grand Capital contest because I had read a lot of positive reviews about it. My main advantage in the competition was my knowledge of trends, as well as some USD rate spikes thanks to which I managed to make a profit and win the contest. I recommend newcomers to enter good positions, study the market, practice constantly and use small investments at first.

Sign up for the next round of a trading contest right now !

Ahmed Mohamed Eltayeb, Saudi Arabia, winner of 239th round of Rally Trade, received a no-deposit bonus of $500
My name is Mohamed Eltayeb, I’m 33 and I started trading in 2013. My goal isn’t unlike that of the majority of traders — to become rich and successful. I’m constantly practicing and learning, and it helps me with anxiety when trading. I chose Grand Capital because this company offers nice conditions and doesn’t scam its clients. My advice for all beginners is to learn new trading strategies, adhere to them and carefully follow changes of the instrument’s price.
Muhammad Tariq, Pakistan, winner of 72nd round of Future Trade, received a no-deposit bonus of $1,000
I’m 30, I’m from Pakistan, and I’m an electrician. My interests essentially boil down to my profession and getting very good at it. Trading is also a hobby. I’ve been reading up on it a lot on social media, and when I felt like I knew enough, I started trading, while continuing to watch educational videos online. My most successful trade involved FDAX index, thanks to which I managed to win this contest, while the least successful trade was with USD/ZAR. In trading I use technical analysis, trend lines and trade on daily and weekly charts.
I was introduced to Grand Capital thanks to word of mouth — a friend told me you had fast execution, and I wanted to try a trading contest to see for myself. He was not wrong!
It’s difficult for me to give advice to beginners since I’ve not been in Forex that long myself, but I can say that you have to spend enough time on trading and choose long-term strategies to succeed.

I’m 40 and I work in agriculture, Forex trading is my hobby. I want to earn extra income trading to secure a decent living. My most successful trade was the one which won this contest — it allowed me to earn both money and experience. To get rid of anxiety when trading, I carefully choose an entry point, and patiently wait watch the market’s behavior. A broker has to inspire confidence, that’s why I chose Grand Capital. I like participating in Grand Capital contests because I can test my strategies. This wasn’t an easy round, I couldn’t wait for the results to learn who would come first. I recommend practicing on demo accounts and in demo contests.

Interview with contest winners on March 21st
It’s quite possible to successfully engage in investing while combining it with your main occupation. Learn how a farmer from Iraq, a factory professional from Crimea and a system administrator from Pakistan trade Forex and how this activity turned from a hobby into a source of permanent income.
Yuriy Bobrenko, Crimea, the winner of the 241st round of Rally Trade, received $500 no deposit bonus
I’m 31 years old and I’m a factory worker. My hobbies include sports and Forex trading. I’ve been trading since 2014, it provides me with additional income. I’ve learned trading on social media and YouTube. At first, I wasn’t successful because I was holding onto positions for too long. As they say, greed was my undoing. My favorite instruments are GBP pairs. My most successful trade was placed during Brexit.
I used to adhere to scalping strategies, now I’m more conservative and use support and resistance levels. I like Grand Capital because of their contests, they can help you start trading without any initial funds. I also like the fact that this broker is based in my country.
I got lucky and won the latest round by a narrow margin despite the intense struggle. I’ll give a piece of advice for beginners: don’t waste your energy on too many strategies, be patient and don’t chase after big profits.
Hamid Akbar, Pakistan, the winner of the 73rd round of Futures Trade, received $1,000 no deposit bonus
My name is Hamid Akbar, I’m from Pakistan and I’m 43. I work as a system administrator and spend most of my time in the office. In the evenings, I often go to a gym, I like sports. I’m a newcomer to Forex trading. I’ve been learning it on YouTube videos and on the internet in general for a year.
I like Forex because it offers a great opportunity for generating extra income.
My most successful investment was the purchase of Bitcoin. I had a small stock of BTC just when the price jumped to $19,000. Unfortunately, I couldn’t sell it at that price. The hardest thing for me was to learn using indicators, even after watching the tutorials. My favorite CFDs are gold and silver.
At first, it was difficult to choose a broker, but at last, I picked Grand Capital because of quick withdrawals and good customer support. Trend awareness helped me win.
Karar Nahma, Iraq, the winner of the 462nd round of Drag Trade, received real $200
I’m 21, I’m a farmer. I enjoy trading and plan to become a successful investor. I learned Forex trading from YouTube and books. I prefer using technical and wave analyses. Usually, I don’t worry much when trading because I’m self-assured and I trust the results of my analysis.
When you choose an intermediary in trading, you should first of all pay attention to technical support, order execution and speed of transactions.
This stage of the contest was quite difficult for me: at first, it seemed almost impossible to place 3 trades within an hour. I recommend beginners to control their emotions, learn money management and technical analysis.
