Artur Tochilin, Russia, the winner of 212th round of Rally Trade, received $500 no-deposit bonus

“I’m 33 and I’ve been seriously trading for more than seven years. I learned everything myself, I read books, forums and mastered the built-in analysis tools in the terminal. The most important thing is to understand the chart and make decisions quickly. My advice to beginners is to show resolve, learn and gain experience. I prefer short-term trading and don’t usually hold positions for too long. I use Bollinger bands, moving averages, draw trend lines and channels. I look for a broker with a good reputation, pay attention to trading conditions offered and spreads for the instruments I’m interested in. I’ve been participating in Rally Trade for quite some time, I was close to victory several times, but I never won. This time luck was on my side, I was ready to close the terminal when the dollar spiked and I won.”

Kakiay Jhonson, Indonesia, the winner of 405th round of Drag Trade, received real $200

“I’ve been trading for three years. I follow trends and use Bulls Power and Bears Power indicators. My favorite instruments are EUR/USD and gold. Having the patience to wait for the intended profit is the hardest part in trading. All beginners should learn this. I like the variety of contests and promotions at Grand Capital. It’s a great opportunity to develop your skills and compete for the prize. I decided to enter Drag Trade to earn funds for trading on a real account.”

Vladimir Gladun, Kazakhstan, the winner of 213th round of Rally Trade, received $500 no-deposit bonus

“I’m 65 and I’m retired. I learned about Forex 20 years ago when the first dealing centers opened in my town. I graduated from trading courses, but due to the circumstances, I wasn’t able to start trading right then. About 10 years ago I bought my first computer and have been trading ever since. Though not on a regular basis. I don’t have any clear preferences when it comes to particular instruments, but I like highly volatile currency pairs. I use my own indicators in trading and don’t follow ready strategies. Beginners shouldn’t listen to the other people’s advice. I usually trust my hunches when choosing brokers, and then I check their reliability. I like that Grand Capital contests are suitable for short-term trading, they last from one hour to a week. This time there wasn’t anything ambiguous about my victory in Rally Trade, I gained $53,000 right away and left my competitors far behind. Then I stopped really trading and just controlled the closest opponents.”
