OctaFX Champion Round 33: 1st place winner on his attempt that turned out to be a success

Last round in the year 2014 is finished and we are ready to share winner’s experience with you! It always makes us proud to receive traders’ stories and give them a chance to be heard!

Let us remind you the names of our winners:

• 1st place – Mr. R Tjahyo Sembodo from Indonesia
• 2nd place – Mr. Aliaksei Matusevich from Belarus
• 3rd place – Mr. Ahmet Metin Yilmaz from Turkey
• The last runner in the contest – Mr. Rathuwaduge Suranga from Sri Lanka

1st place – Mr. R Tjahyo Sembodo from Indonesia on his experience as a winner:

I praise and am thankful to Allah God Almighty and I feel great. After several attempts, I finally found myself exactly where I wanted to be. I actually did not think I could be in first place at least in the first 3 weeks of the round. Last week I saw a chance to occupy 3rd place and I tried to trade safe and be more careful. The last 3 days I was surprised to be the 3rd and I tried to maintain my position. And on a beautiful weekend today, in the last days in the month of December I received an email notification from OctaFX that I achieved the highest position in the contest. Wow I am very excited and happy. Thanks OctaFX for this wonderful weekend.

Now let me tell you about my trading:

I do not always have time to be in front of the computer and analyze every opportunity. I actually have little time to analyze. So I was assisted by a robot in the day-to-day trading.

My technique was scalping with price action guide combined with looking for an opportunity to get a pull back price when the price passed the resistance or support on 5M chart. Yes, I developed a trading robot to help me with these techniques. In addition I did swing trades manually.

This round is my highest achievement after the round 32 contest a month ago: I was in 4th place. Previously, I've experienced a few times a margin call in the demo and live account.

In my opinion everyone can learn the concepts of Forex Trading quickly in a matter of months. However, becoming consistent takes years. Be patient, learn from experience and have a good money management – that is the best way to become a good trader and also survive in this business. I would not say I am better than the others.

I prefer to say it was the right time for the right opportunity and the right trading track. Eliminate greed and fear, as it is the key to success. I believe every person has the opportunity to be the best.

2nd place – Mr. Aliaksei Matusevich from Belarus:

I am happy to occupy the 2nd position. I tried various techniques. I think I just got lucky, but now I am considering participating in other OctaFX promotions. Practice makes perfect!

3rd place – Mr. Ahmet Metin Yilmaz from Turkey:

It was nice and exciting experience and it didn’t take much time. Discipline and belief in my system which I developed with time helped me to gain my results. My strategy is based on price action, and yes, I develop this strategy with trying various techniques.
Actually I don't think that I am a good trader. If I occupy the first place in the future, I will think about giving advice to fellow traders.

The last runner in the contest, Mr. Rathuwaduge Suranga from Sri Lanka:

I was trying for 2 years to become the winner and to ocuupy the first place. However I am happy about your company even being the last. I will try my best to get to the 1st place next round. I have played and learned a lot to improve next time. It will take a long time to become a good trader! I am with you since 2012, but I am still leaning!

OctaFX proves its reliability in the light of recent events

Due to the unprecedented market events on 15.01.15 caused by the changes of Swiss National bank’s policy resulting in high volatility in CHF cross pairs quotes many traders encountered considerable losses. During these events, OctaFX demonstrated its high reliability: being devoted to our clients, we didn’t inflict any changes upon CHF cross clients trades. However, following the usual company policy we restored all negative client balances that occurred due to the fact that clients were unprepared to these rapid changes.

All the deposit and withdrawal requests are processed by the Financial department following the normal procedure. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact our award-winning Customer Support: support@octafx.com.

OctaFX remains fully reliable and solvent despite the recent events. All the trades are performed according to the operational company standards. We are proud to confirm our stability and integrity. We thank our clients for staying with us and welcome new traders to try out our highly valued services!

Round 2 OctaFX Supercharged winner is aimed at victory!

As OctaFX Supercharged real contest grips attention of more and more traders, OctaFX team awards the second winner of the monthly prize – brand new iPhone 6!

Aleksandra Michałowicz-Goc from Poland, the second monthly winner have plenty of thoughts to share with her fellow contestants and traders, who haven’t’ yet joined the spectacular race for Tesla Model S:

The competition is great! Yes, my main target is to win the main prize – Tesla Model S.

I spend a lot of time at the laptop, investing in the forex, and this competition is just one of the many things I do during the day. Patience helped me a lot, I can say it is one of the major factors of my success. The other one is courage – I am not afraid of either risks or losses.

My strategy is an investment with the trend. That’s how it works - I am looking for a correction and open orders at high risk, the balance is my SL(stop loss). When I am wrong and the assumptions are good, I open another account and repeat orders. It will normally imply 2-5% risk.
I slightly changed my strategy during the contest and achieved the greatest gains and the greatest losses in individual transactions: my most spectacular gain - 700% in a few days, considerable loss - 100% in a few minutes.

Aleksandra was happy to give OctaFX traders some advice!
You have to invest a lot, invest wisely, analyze errors and fix them. When you stop losing money, it will be the beginning of the road to good trader. And to my fellow contestnts I say – Do not look at what others are doing, set yourself a goal and implement it.

Aim for Tesla S or Renault Twizy – it doesn’t matter! The title of OctaFX Supercharged real contest winner is priceless! It’s 20 days left to win next iPhone 6 – register in OctaFX Supercharged real contest now!

Electrify your trading with OctaFX!

Yes they seem to be a scam broker for sure. I opened new account no 235916 on 27th Jan 2015 and first deposit through skrill 100 usd and topped it within few minutes with another 350 usd. Within one hour my scalper EA installed on my friends private server made 160 usd profit and they stopped my account from trading. I got a mail which is reproduced as below.

See now they nowhere have stated that trading has been disabled and on repeated chat request which they said on chat they have disabled my account from trading they did not send me official mail in spite of repeated requests. I discussed with this guy Ian that where I stay and work as an expatriate, Dubai, UAE documents like passport copy and utlity bills are not notarized and cannot do anything about it. He then said they will accept if my Indian government consulate attests it and utility bill provider stamps the bill. I got both of them done very next day on 28th Jan 2015 and sent them scanned copies to confirm if it is ok then waste my money to courier it to their HO. I got mail saying the documents are accepted by their security department in HO and I should courier to them the original documents. I couriered them through Aramex on same day and it reached them on 3rd Feb at 14 hrs and a guy with the name R Olliver had received it. I started chatting with them again and they stated they have not received. I sent them the aramex courier tracking weblink to show the confirmation. I seconded that by copy pasting the tracking status from Aramex and sent them mail. I have been sending them mails and chatting with them to know what now. Today is 4th day and still they claim it is under investigation. I do not understand as what sort of investigation is this as it is just 2 documents passport copy attested original one and utility bill stamped by the utility company which they have to see if it is in my name.

Yesterday night when I again chatted with one woman called Emma she told my account has been disabled as I broke some client agreement which she posted link. I said it has so many clauses so tell me which clause she says I indulged in arbitrage trading. So I said it is not arbitrage trading and it is a fast scalper custom made which me and my friend use it and as per their website scalping is allowed without any restrictions. I further stated prove to me that I did arbitrage trading she could not say anything further saying the same sentence we cannot do anything till our security department completes investigation. I have sent a mail to their ceo stating my case and the way their customer care is treating me as if i am a criminal.

In short they do not allow me to trade the account nor allow me to withdraw my money. Their intention is not to pay anyone who makes profits and they just want traders to lose and make money and I am sure they are not ECN brokers as if they are they would not mind me making money as they too get their commission in the spreads. I rate them as scam brokers only unless they remove the freeze on my trading and allow me to trade with my scalper or return back my total 610 usd and confirm that they cannot allow me to trade with a valid reason.
