Interview with our contest winners. Trading is hard work and freedom

In the fifth round-up the winners discuss the essence of trading. They often agree in their views on it. The ideas that “trading is freedom” and that “trading is hard work” were present in every interview, one way or another. Hare are the interviews of two winners of Drag Trade and two winners of Rally Trade.

Abel Yonatan, Indonesia, the winner of 188th round of Rally Trade

"After I’d finished school I was looking for a place to earn some money for a long while. Eventually I took interest in financial markets. It’s been five years and I still earn money by trading. Trading gives freedom: I’m not bound by time and I’m in charge of my own life. Even if what I earn is just a drop in the ocean compared to all the money on the market, it is still enough for me to live on. A good trader should be open to the market, as much as possible. Because the market is always right. When I first started trading, the hardest part for me was not to be greedy. My trading strategies are based on the essential indicators, such as Stochastic Oscillator, Bollinger lines etc. I combine them with support and resistance levels. Also I necessarily stick to one pair. My most successful trade had to do with Brexit. I sold one GBP/USD lot and got $5000 in an hour. In general I like to trade with GBP/JPY and EUR/USD pairs. I chose Grand Capital as my broker because I like when deposits are fast and easy. I use FasaPay for deposits and withdrawals with Grand Capital. Also, Grand Capital offers great bonuses and contests. My piece of advice to beginner traders: always keep in mind that you have to calm down and relax before you start trading. And base your strategy on actual market indicators and not on your own speculations".

Svetlana Pletnyova, Russia, the winner of 356th round of Drag Trade

"I started trading quite recently. An acquaintance suggested that I try, so I went ahead with it. My professional training is in cooking, although I work as a salesperson. Trading appeals to me as a great opportunity to make money. I’m still learning to trade and I’ve got enough difficulties. Just consider the terms alone! I hope that my most brilliant trade is yet ahead. I waltzed into Grand Capital’s contest expecting something interesting and productive. And so it was. I use more volatile instruments in contests and proceed as situation demands. Luck and persistence helped me win this round. I don’t dare to give advice to others, as I’m myself still a beginner. So I’ll just wish everyone luck!"

Aleksandr Sasyuk. Russia, the winner of 189th round of Rally Trade

"I own an IT consulting company. I’ve been trading for more than six years. I was looking for extra income and eventually came to financial markets. Trading appeals to me because of freedom and independence. I learned trading on my own. At first I got distracted a lot when my friends started giving out advice and pushing their own vision of the market situation. But I didn’t trust anyone and went my own way. The trade that stuck with me was the one that resulted in 1100% with the EUR/GPY pair in an hour. My favorite strategy is Price Action (editor’s note: Price Action is trading without indicators, relying solely on price dynamics). When I choose brokers I consider promptness of deposit/withdrawal and order execution. I’ve entered Grand Capital contest to evaluate the reliability of the company".

Vladimir Belikov, Russia, the winner of 367th round of Drag Trade

"I’m a logistics specialist in a furniture company. I’ve been trading for about a year. Extra income doesn’t hurt, after all. So I decided to try to earn money on Forex. It’s pretty convenient, you can trade without leaving you house. Learning to trade is easy, there are tons of information on the topic online. But you must remember that trading is hard work. Usually I trade with EUR/USD pair. As for trading websites, I like TradeLikeaPro, and as for trading strategies, I like Price Action. As I understand it, you have to choose a strategy and follow it completely, so it starts bringing income. For the present I mostly choose brokers by their reputation. Grand Capital contests can help you earn initial capital and learn a lot at the same time. I won this round thanks to low volatility. I tend to trade better in days like these. My advice to the future winners is to hone your skills, read more and gain experience".

Interview with contest winners. “A contest is a good way to master your strategy”

The sixth interview round-up features the winner of Rally Trade, the winner of Futures Trade and two winners of Drag Trade.

Anatoliy Radchenko, Ukraine, the winner of 358th round of Drag Trade

‘I have been trading since 2006. I work as a system administrator and I started trading because I like to use my head. I’ve learned everything myself. It’s simple, really: you buy, then you sell. Be patient and sooner or later you’ll get it. I usually base my strategy on trends. Fundamental analysis beats everything. But I trade with anything if it promises profit. Most recently I’ve been selling the British pound. What I value the most in brokers is the promptness with which deposits and withdrawals are executed. My advice to the future contestants is to never give up. Fight to the end!’

Serhiy Neznayko, Ukraine, the winner of 50th round of Futures Trade

‘I’m a student, but not full-time, so I work and trade in my spare time. The advantages of trading are the lack of bosses and comfortable working conditions. No one bosses you around, you can trade where and when you please. I think that the most common mistake among the beginners is a lack of self-control. I actually blew my first $100 deposit this way. Even if it wasn’t that big. I think that my most successful trade is still ahead of me. Now I’m waiting for increase of the US interest rate. I haven’t studied trading seriously yet. But I’m planning on attending lectures on exchange trading. CFD is a new direction for me. I don’t have any special strategy. I just start form the market climate and economy news. When I choose a broker, I pay attention to several factors. I notice if the website is user-friendly, how fast the client support responds, and, of course, the contests. I chose Futures Trade because of its convenient duration and the possibility to follow the contest table online. In my round the margin between the first and the second positions was only 3 dollars. I guess I was lucky. Now I know that anyone can win. Check it out yourself, everything is in your own hands!’

Hamid Vilani, Iran, the winner of 359th round of Drag Trade

‘My name is Khamid and trading is my job. I learned about trading for the first time seven years ago when I saw and ad online. Forex is very popular in Iran. I learned everything online, for free. The most important thing for a beginner is to set a correct leverage. And, of course, self-control and patience are also of utmost importance for traders. I still remember that one time when I managed to earn +1000% of my initial deposit. I use Ichinoku trading indicator. Grand Capital is widely known company with a long history. That’s why I chose it. I entered the contest just because I like to compete, and a contest is also a chance to earn some money.’

Tangapandi Thangaraj, UAE, the winner of 190th round of Rally Trade

‘I work as a technician for a private company, my job is repair and maintenance of machinery. I decided to try to get into trading three years ago. A friend suggested that I try Forex. I tried and kept on trading and in time I started winning. I learned trading everywhere: Youtube, message boards, listened to my friends’ advice. At times I felt like giving up, but I didn’t. I like trading with GBP/JPY and GBP/USD pairs. I stay with a particular broker if the company is reliable and offers quality support. I like challenges, so I entered Grand Capital contest. Also it’s an opportunity to master my strategy. The market can change in an instant. That’s why you have to be extremely careful if you use someone else’s trading signals. It’s better to trust your own strategy and analysis. This approach allows you to manage your funds rationally: not to lose more than you spend.’

But I’m planning on attending lectures on exchange trading. CFD is a new direction for me. I don’t have any special strategy. I just start form the market climate and economy news. When I choose a broker, I pay attention to several factors. I notice if the website is user-friendly, how fast the client support responds, and, of course, the contests. I chose Futures Trade because of its convenient duration and the possibility to follow the contest table online. In my round the margin between the first and the second positions was only 3 dollars. I guess I was lucky. Now I know that anyone can win. Check it out yourself, everything is in your own hands!’

Hamid Vilani, Iran, the winner of 359th round of Drag Trade

‘My name is Khamid and trading is my job. I learned about trading for the first time seven years ago when I saw and ad online. Forex is very popular in Iran. I learned everything online, for free. The most important thing for a beginner is to set a correct leverage. And, of course, self-control and patience are also of utmost importance for traders. I still remember that one time when I managed to earn +1000% of my initial deposit. I use Ichinoku trading indicator. Grand Capital is widely known company with a long history. That’s why I chose it. I entered the contest just because I like to compete, and a contest is also a chance to earn some money.’

Tangapandi Thangaraj, UAE, the winner of 190th round of Rally Trade

‘I work as a technician for a private company, my job is repair and maintenance of machinery. I decided to try to get into trading three years ago. A friend suggested that I try Forex. I tried and kept on trading and in time I started winning. I learned trading everywhere: Youtube, message boards, listened to my friends’ advice. At times I felt like giving up, but I didn’t. I like trading with GBP/JPY and GBP/USD pairs. I stay with a particular broker if the company is reliable and offers quality support. I like challenges, so I entered Grand Capital contest. Also it’s an opportunity to master my strategy. The market can change in an instant. That’s why you have to be extremely careful if you use someone else’s trading signals. It’s better to trust your own strategy and analysis. This approach allows you to manage your funds rationally: not to lose more than you spend.’
