Company News

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.

"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.

"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.

"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."

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.
