Interview with contest winners: "I registered a Grand Capital account five years ago and started with contests right away"

In our new interview roundup we introduce the winner of Rally Trade who set a goal for himself a year and a half ago to win this contest, and also two winners of Drag Trade who told us about the importance of controlling your emotions and mastering your skills at contests for traders.h

Yudhi Yudhisthira, Indonesia, the winner of 199th round of Rally Trade, received $500 no deposit bonus.

A year and a half ago Yudhi won Drag Trade contest and told us that his new goal was to win Rally Trade. We congratulate Yudhi with his victory in 199th round.

"I've been trading on Forex for about eight years. I think that trading is a very promising occupation. It helps you make money and exercise your brain. I'm especially interested in technical analysis. Currently among my favorite indicators are ZigZag and Trend Focus, while my preferred pair for trading is GBP/USD. One must think fast and analyze data to become a good trader. I'm happy to have won in Rally Trade. I was patient and luck favored me. If you're just getting into trading, don't give up. I'll stay true to myself and repeat what I've said already: don't lose heart, there's always a way."

Sergei Akulov, Belarus, the winner of 378th round of Drag Trade, received real $200.

"I'm almost 60 and I studied physics. Almost all my life I worked with computing equipment. In 1978 I entered the Institute of Engineering Cybernetics of the Belarusian Academy of Sciences. After that I worked as a maintenance engineer at a factory, optimized mainframe-based computing systems. I started trading 10 years ago. I saw some consulting company's ad on the subway, got interested and came to their lecture. Then I realized that I'm interested in the trading process itself, which means you don't depend on anybody and it's possible to earn a decent income at the same time. When I was only starting, I only traded with "majors". Now I'm getting convinced that trading cross pairs brings more profit. When I choose a broker, like most traders I look at order execution, the absence of requotes, slippage and other technical problems. And, of course, withdrawal options and how fast can you withdraw your profit. Grand Capital never gave me a reason to doubt them. I created an account five or six years ago and started with contests right away. I won this round thanks to my experience and knowledge of CAD/USD trading peculiarities. I won by a small margin. My advice to beginners is to work out your own trading system, trust it and believe in yourself and you will win!"

Faouzi Ounis, Algiers, the winner of 379th round of Drag Trade, received real $200.

Image

"I graduated from an agricultural university. Once I needed extra income for research and a friend told me about Forex. So I've been trying to master this trade since 2014. It seems like Forex isn't quite popular yet in Algiers, but it's a promising occupation. I learned trading by participating in demo contests. At first my growth was impeded by the absence of actual deposit. I had a hard time controlling my emotions back then and it didn't help either. I placed my most successful trade at the time of Brexit and earned +30% to my account. My favorite trading instruments are AUD/USD, EUR/USD and GBP/JPY. I chose Grand Capital as my broker for several reasons: fast order execution, low spreads, no-deposit bonuses and a decent online support. I like to try out different strategies in Drag Trade. During this round I made use of the USD's weakness and scholastic oscillator. If you're just starting to trade, don't forget about money management. Don't risk the whole amount of your funds at once and sharpen your skills."

Introducing our new partner in Germany

On the 1st of September, our German partner opened a Grand Capital office in Fürth, a city 7 kilometers away from Nuremberg. Now our German clients can receive a personal consultation on trading and the company's services, such as how to choose and open an account, Forex instruments trading, CFD, binary options, LAMM investments etc.

Joachim Reichelmann, the manager of our new office is an experienced trader and business manager. He'd been heading the marketing department of an international IT company for 10 years, founded eBusiness Portal platform and Trader4Charity, a traders association.

"As the president of Trader4Charity I had to deal with many brokers and I thoroughly studied this market. Finally, I settled on Grand Capital. This company offers well-developed products, has a clear strategy, affordable services, fast execution and low spreads. And behind all that is a dedicated team of people who believe in their product, want to do good and grow. In the last few years, Grand Capital significantly expanded their presence in the world. However many European countries, such as Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Belgium still remain blank spaces on the company's map. Traders from these countries also should have a fuller access to the services of Grand Capital. Grand Capital representative and I have discussed the prospects of promoting the company's products in the German speaking countries and negotiated a plan. I'm happy to have joined the international team of Grand Capital."

Interview with contest winners: "My dream is to earn enough to buy BMW"

In our new interview roundup we present the winner of the anniversary 200th round of Rally Trade, the winner of 55th round of Future Trade and the winner of 382nd round of Drag Trade.

In 2017 alone we interviewed 46 winners and noticed an interesting tendency. Usually the manner of speech of our winners corresponds to their manner of trading. For instance, a composed seaman Viltaly from Ukraine trades with discretion, an ambitious marketing specialist Amr from Egypt trades boldly and impulsively, while an enterprising duck farm owner from Bangladesh loves risk, but remembers about control. Learn from the experience of others and find your own way.

Vitaly Narkevich, Ukraine, the winner of 200th round of Rally Trade, received $500 no deposit bonus.

Image

"I'm 33 and I'm a seaman. I started trading fairly recently and now I'm only getting acquainted with the sphere. I'm interested in more substantial investments, but first I have to get the hang of it and gain experience. My friend recommended me Grand Capital. Rally Trade contest was my first chance to earn actual money by trading. I chose the most volatile trading instrument, EUR/USD pair. I'm happy how it all turned out. However, to be honest, the victory came as a surprise to me."

Zakir Hossein, Bangladesh, the winner of 55th round of Future Trade, received $1000 no deposit bonus.

Image

"I own a small business in Bangladesh, a duck farm. I started trading on financial markets because of a friend. He's an experienced trader and he taught me the basics. So in the past six months I trained on a demo account and moved on to a real one. I prefer short term trading, so it's 100 points of profit a day tops. But once I somehow managed to get +250 points. I trade with Awesome oscillator and my favorite futures is @CAD (editor's note: CAD/USD rate futures). Now I learn by trading. Life is always accompanied by risk. No risk, no victory. Trading is a risk I'm willing to take and a convenient way of earning money.

Amr Ali, Egypt, the winner of 382nd round of Drag trade, received real $200.

Image

"I'm 24. For five years I've been working in social media advertising and now I'm a head of marketing department in a local company. Once my friend told me that I could make a fortune on the financial market. It's a dream of any young man! So I started to read up on trading. My younger brother supported me, he lent me money and encouraged me whenever I failed, told me that failure is the first step towards success. Three years ago I was still young and inexperienced, so I used to lose a lot of money because of my mistakes. But I kept on learning and managed to reach success. To be completely honest, I'm in it for profit. My dream is to earn enough to buy BMW 740i. My most successful trade was with EUR/USD pair. I invested $100, opened a trade and received $250. And my most unsuccessful trade was based on a recommendation of an analyst, I opened a position for gold and lost $300. I use SAR and Moving Average indicators for trading. They are my invisible helpers for predicting the market movements. I wanted to test my skills in Drag Trade. It's interesting to compete with traders from around the world, and if I'm successful it can also bring profit. If you're only beginning your trading career, start with demo accounts and education. Meanwhile, I want to thank my brother Ahmed and Muhi, who always supported me in my hobby."

Grand Capital received Best ECN broker 2017 award

From September 9th to 11th Grand Capital participated in Investment and Finance Expo, one of China's largest financial expos that took place in Guangzhou. During the expo's award ceremony, Grand Capital received Best ECN broker 2017 award.

Also on the 8th of September, Denis Kulagin, our head of International Development department was first to speak at Financial Industry Expo forum on Xi'an. In his speech he addressed the topic of modern IT in the financial sphere.

Denis Kulagin, the head of International Development department:

"I'm honored to open this expo's forum. This gesture from our Chinese colleagues is a sign of respect towards Grand Capital and emphasizes our long history of mutual trust. I think our Best ECN Broker award is well deserved, as in many aspects this service was being developed with consideration of wishes of our Chinese clients, who value fast transactions, high liquidity and other extended features of accounts. It's not our first expo in China and again we reminded of the importance of communicating with our partners. Together we outlined the principal directions for our development in China. We are planning on continuing to work in this region and one of our highest priorities right now is a new office there."

Grand Capital received Best ECN broker 2017 award for our new ECN Prime account for professional trading that was introduced this summer. This account was designed to provide access to the market of high liquidity and immediate order execution. It means that a trader's requests are always executed at the market's best prices regardless of the circumstances.

LAMM reward system becomes easier

Starting from October 1st Grand Capital changes the reward system for LAMM accounts. Previously LAMM managers were required to select a type of reward, by a trading period or by each trade. However, this system left investors with a lot of questions. In order to make trading more transparent for investors and more easy-to-grasp for both parties, we decided to abandon one type of reward and completely switch to the other, reward by a trading period, i.e. reward for total amount of trades of the investor for a certain period of time. For instance, if a manager selects a 24-hour period, they will once a day receive the commission for a client's trading on this day. Managers can choose the period length individually. The shortest period available is one day.

All managers who now use "commission for a trade" or "percentage for a trade" reward systems must contact our client support before the 1st of October and set the desired period length and reward percentage. Those who fail to do so before the October 1st will be automatically switched to 0% reward percentage.

Contact our support team by phone +7 (812) 389-66-79, by email [email protected] or via online chat on our website.

Interview with contest winners: “Successful traders take risks”

The winners of our contests are quite sure that a successful trader spares no expense on education, is always ready to take calculated risks and listens to more experienced traders. Read the opinions of the three of our most recent contest winners. Who knows, maybe their stories will help you to get to the top. Read, learn and dare!

Natalya Filliova, Russia, the winner of 201th round of Rally Trade

"I often participate in trading contests because I like the competitive spirit and the emotions associated with it. I tend to choose shorter contests. That's why after I won Drag Trade I decided to try Rally Trade and now I finally made it. I think I won thanks to a good AUDUSD movement, I managed to place the positions in time and it all worked out. The hallmark of a successful trader is a huge amount of time invested in education, That's why I advise the beginners to learn and make calculated decisions."

Tadeusz Kubala, Poland, the winner of 202th round of Rally Trade

"I'm 61. Until recently I owned a business, but now I work at a factory. I started trading about 10 years ago. I always liked the field of finance. Forex is very popular in Poland. I think the reason is that the technology education here is on a high level. I mostly trade USD/JPY, USD/CAD and EUR/USD. When I trade I alternate between technical and fundamental analyses. For example, I won this round thanks to the latter: Canada's GDP went up 0.3% this June and I figured that Canadian dollar would grow stronger.

All in all, financial market trading is not a very difficult thing. The real art of trading is in controlling your emotions. At the same time I think that a successful trader doesn't shy away from risk and has a strong spirit. I chose Grand Capital because of low minimum deposit, low spread, the absence of requotes and the safety of funds. My advice for the beginners is to deal with stress, not to be afraid to change your strategy and set adequate stop losses."


Ebrahim Nejaddarzi, Iran, the winner of 385th round of Drag Trade

"I'm 41 and I'm a teacher. I've been trading for 10 years. At first, I used to lose a lot, but now I focus on money-management and risk management. My most memorable trade was at the time of Brexit. Then I profited a lot from selling the GBP. I use a combination of moving average 55 and Ichimoku. I trade mostly USDJPY, GBPUSD and EURUSD. Demo contests help to understand the market better. I won this round thanks to fast decision-making. But the beginners should only make decisions based on thorough analysis of the situation and not on intuition, and learn from the others' experience."

Grand Capital launches the first blockchain-based secure Forex marketplace

Image

Grand Capital has been providing online trading services for over 10 years. During this time we became a prominent member of the global broker community. Participation in major industry events enabled us to compare our own experience with others. We analyzed the current situation on Forex and binary options markets and realized that the industry needs to change as there is still no means for traders to feel secure on the worldwide scale, when working with foreign brokers.

We teamed up with our tech partners from UpTrader and set out to solve this problem. Now we are ready to present Serenity Financial, the first blockchain-based secure Forex marketplace for traders and brokers. Serenity acts as an intermediary that controls both parties. The platform utilizes modern technology, including cryptocurrencies and blockchain, which ensures the integrity of all trades and withdrawal transactions.

Funding of the platform will be as transparent as its operation. We invite everyone interested in the project to participate in Serenity Financial ICO. Pre-ICO starts as soon as mid-November. Learn how the platform works and read about the ICO on Serenity Financial website.

Denis Kulagin, Serenity Financial CEO:

"Serenity is a unique project. It has all the potential to change Forex market and solve a lot of problems traders face. Serenity uses blockchain technology to record all trading and non-trading transactions. The platform stores funds and provides liquidity to brokers. It's Forex reinvented, a united, secure and honest Forex for everybody."

The project is already supported by a number of brokerages and fintech companies which are ready to act as both partners and participants of the project.

Dmitry Rannev, one of Forex pioneers and CEO of Rannforex:

“I've always stood for transparent Forex. The project aims to increase transparency on the market, hence I support it. The idea is quite interesting and I think that it has all chances to evolve into something great.”
