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."

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.

"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.

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. I'm happy to have joined the international team of Grand Capital."
