Round 29 OctaFX Champions share the experience!


OctaFX Champion Round 30 starts Monday, September 1, and we are happy to see the new record – more than 3000 people will trade for the opportunity to win $3000!

Traditionally, we asked our Round 29 winners a few questions for your inspiration!

• 1st place – Mr. Yuri Ohrimenko from Ukraine
• 2nd place – Mrs. Svetlana Goroshevskaya from Ukraine
• 3rd place – Mr. Syamsul Hadi Fitri Amd from Indonesia
• The last runner – Mrs. Mehwish Raheel from Pakistan

What is the key factor to your success? Why are you better than everyone else?

1st place – Mr. Yuri Ohrimenko: I think the right choice of the currency pair for the contest and the study of the fundamental data for this pair before the contest bring success. And of course a bit of luck.
2nd place – Mrs. Svetlana Goroshevskaya:The most important oints of success are the analysis and accurate calculation, trading experience and knowledge of the behavior of the financial tools, long observation of them.
3rd place – Mr. Syamsul Hadi Fitri Amd: The main factor of my success is growing confidence in myself that someday I will definitely be able to become a successful Forex trader.

What was your strategy? Have you developed a perfect plan or tried various techniques?

1st place – Mr. Yuri Ohrimenko: In this contest, I relied on the currency pair NZDUSD. When I occupied the first place I tried not to let participants ahead.
2nd place – Mrs. Svetlana Goroshevskaya:The simpler the better! I usually use graphic analysis, MACD indicator, strong levels, and of course the news that give an overall picture of the market.
3rd place – Mr. Syamsul Hadi Fitri Amd: As long as I trade Forex, I learned to follow the strategy, which is used by traders, who succeed in the Forex Market. Then I made innovation by combining indicators, which are user friendly for me so that I can read the direction of movement of the currency in the Forex market.

How long does it take to become a good trader?

1st place – Mr. Yuri Ohrimenko: It all depends on hard work and talent. Also, the faster you are able to tame emotions, the sooner you will be a good trader.
2nd place – Mrs. Svetlana Goroshevskaya:I think one should learn at least a year, and to trade, including in the real accounts, making small deposits to start trading in profit, the main thing after all is captured currency pairs, not dollars.
3rd place – Mr. Syamsul Hadi Fitri Amd: I think it is quite long for me. I have been learning to understand the Forex market from 2008 to 2014. It took approximately 6 years because my background is not an economic expert, and I think I still have a lot of flaws and I guess I have not gotten the achievement, which I expected.

The last runner – Mrs. Mehwish Raheel is not discouraged and fully optimistic concerning next rounds: “I will improve my trading in near future and you will see me again trading in the next round number 30, and I will use my other strategies in that contest.
I have learned a lot of things, and I learned one main thing, that is do proper analysis, then proper calculation of lots, actually I did some mistakes in trading volume, but I will try not do it again in next round”.

The new Round 30 starts over a weekend! Register in the special Round of OctaFX Champion Demo contest to win $3000!

OctaFX Champions on how they mastered Round 30!

Exciting comments from Round 30 participants arrived, but first, let us remind you the names of four winners!

• 1st place – Mr. Edi Santoso from Indonesia
• 2nd place – Mr. Ranesh Thenuwara from Shri Lanka
• 3rd place – Mrs. Annisa Nurul Koesmarini from Indonesia
• The last runner – Mr. Aleksandr Suknitsky from Netherlands

How do you feel being an OctaFX Champion?

1st place – Mr. Edi Santoso: I feel very happy, and hopefully in the future I can be even better.
2nd place – Mr. Ranesh Thenuwara: Wow I feel good.
3rd place – Mrs. Annisa Nurul Koesmarini: I really did not expect to win, totally unpredictable and beyond my expectations. Frankly, I was very happy when on Friday, September 26, I realized that my ranking jumping up into the big 3. After I close all positions on that day, I just hope no one was overtaking my position. And, as it turns out, it actually happened, when I got an email notification from OctaFX.

What is the key factor to your success? Why are you better than everyone else?

1st place – Mr. Edi Santoso: Patience is, and ability of not being hasty when doing open position, and being careful while analyzing.
2nd place – Mr. Ranesh Thenuwara: Market trend influences my success.
3rd place – Mrs. Annisa Nurul Koesmarini: My success factors, may be practically just a little analysis and a little luck. I am very confident when I open position on that pair. Then, I open a position with improved margins, which I guess is enough to be able to withstand the brunt of the storm so, I make sure not to be exposed to margin call, even if I do not open the chart for a week. That's it.

What was your strategy? Have you developed a perfect plan or tried various techniques?

1st place – Mr. Edi Santoso: Strategies that I use quite simple, just using the default MT4 indicators. That's it.
2nd place – Mr. Ranesh Thenuwara: My strategy is candlestick pattern.
3rd place – Mrs. Annisa Nurul Koesmarini: I used to try Scalping and Intraday techniques in my real account, but the results are less effective and less efficient. Now, I try not to always look at the chart, and I combine it with some cliché but important techniques, which may have been known by traders, such as money management and position sizing, and the result is quite good and not disappointing for people who only see the chart only 3 times during the contest.

How long does it take to become a good trader?

1st place – Mr. Edi Santoso: It depends on our perseverance in learning about the market.
2nd place – Mr. Ranesh Thenuwara: Two years.
3rd place – Mrs. Annisa Nurul Koesmarini: To be a good trader, I think it requires 3 to 6 months, if every day, you diligently read the success tips from successful traders of the world, often practicing, brainstorming, discussing with people whose lives rely on trading only. Then, try different weapons and try out various styles and eventually find a suitable and convenient for you. Clearly, when the factor of 10,000 hours of process you have taken, I'm sure you're familiar with youself, and can become a good trader. If you do not take the time every day, the exact time it takes to become a good trader could be much longer, could be 1-5 years. All depends on your willingness and commitment. Simple.

Round 31 winners on how they feel about their achievement!

OctaFX presents you the interviews of the winners of our most popular demo contest! This time Round 31 winners share their feelings about the contest and give all our contestants invaluable advice!

1st place - Mr. Siti Nuraisyah from Indonesia:

I am thankful to God Almighty and I feel happy. I did not spend much time competing, but I traded during crowded market hours. My intuition helped me and also attentive observation of the position of the candle and indicators available in MT4.

I would advise all the contestants to never stop learning and to be patient.

3rd place - Mr. Huynh Le Thi Kim from Vietnam:

I feel happy to win. I love your demo contest very much. I will continue to participate in your contests because it's very useful. During this round, I spent all of my free time to make more trades and profits. I think I also had some luck while performing trades. Concerning the technique, I used fundamental strategies. I encountered loss sometimes and I am convinced performing profitable trades is always difficult.

Mr. Asep Rahmat, who occupies the last place, says that he’ll try to improve the result next time. He spent lots of time participating, while his techniques proved to be unreliable. However Mr. Asep Rahmat remebers some of the profitable trades! Let’s wish him all the other good luck!

Don’t let anything discourage you. Register in the next round of OctaFX Champion demo contest!
