• The last runner in the contest, Mr. Abd Hadi from Indonesia is granted 100 USD
  

Do you want to learn how to trade so that you keep winning? Just read these success tips from our best traders!

 

1st place - Mr. Kariyanto Kariyanto from Indonesia

I’ve been trading with OctaFX for a long time, and finally my time has come! I’m the first winner! I’d like to express my gratitude to OctaFX for this opportunity. Honestly speaking, I’m learning on the go: in the past, I was spending a lot of time on trading (not always successful enough), but now I just wait for the right moment to trade, so there’s not much time consumed. Since I’m more successful now I believe I will go on participating in OctaFX contests. Who knows, may be I’m in a winning streak at the moment. I think my success is patience, being precise in using the market moment and determination. Also, I like to take all the trading opportunities. The more I take advantage of the opportunities, the greater my chance for victory. Yes, I suffered huge losses in the past, because I was (and I still am) a newbie, but I hope I’m learning faster and faster. I’ve been trading for 5 years and I’ve got some thrilling experience that I hope will help me in the future trades.

2nd place - Mr. Noor Ul Amin from Pakistan

First of all, I want to thank OctaFX for organizing such a thrilling contest. It’s great that you can challenge yourself and trade in a competition with others! As for me, I’m not a full-time trader: I have a regular job, and trading is a hobby for me. I trade from time to time whenever I’m free. I’m considering participating in some other contests that OctaFX organizes, maybe I’ll go and pick more than one. OctaFX has quite a wide range to choose from. My key success factors are hard work and concentrated analysis of the market. I guess these were the reasons I got one of the prizes in this contest. I don’t use any kind of EAs or other indicators; the only strategy that I use is my own strategy. Most of my trades were profitable this time. However, one of the trades was a loss of more than 6000, but then I got a profit of 6290, so I basically got the lost money back. According to my experience, learning as well as practical work take around 6 months to become a good trader.

 

3rd place - Ms. Ledi Manullang from Indonesia

If you ask me what I feel, I can say I’m super happy! I trade when I have a couple of minutes of free time so I’m not too an involved trader. I’ve never thought I’d become a winner one day, but here I am! I will continue to participate in the next rounds even after this success. When I trade, I’m optimistic and confident - this is the best state that you can imagine for trading. I’m also patient to wait for the right moment, I’m not pushed by emotions. I got a spectacular profit for the first time in this contest, no losses occurred! Speaking of experience… My best guess is that the time that you have to spend to become an exceptional trader is unlimited. A good trader is willing to learn from experience without being too impatient.

 

The last runner in the contest - Mr. Abd Hadi from Indonesia

I’m a beginner Forex trader. Although I failed this time, I’m happy to get a consolation prize of $100. I learned a lot from the experience of this contest, ranging from the strategy to the calculation of the lot. My failure makes me even more motivated to try harder, to learn more about the market and to study technical analysis and fundamental basics. Of course, now I’m enterprising and determined to learn how to be a successful trader. Together with OctaFX, I believe that behind the failure there is the success. I hope next time I will no longer experience failure, and maybe it will take 2-3 months to become a better trader. Once again, thank you very much, OctaFX.

The first prize in Round 51 of OctaFX Champion demo contest became an anniversary gift

http://i.imgur.com/ACrhnVL.png

 

Another Round of OctaFX Champion demo contest is over and we are happy to announce the winners! Here they are:

 

• 1st place with the award of 500 USD goes to Mr. Alexander Lukyanchikov from Ukraine
  
• 2nd place with the award of 300 USD goes to Mr. Zainal Abidin from Indonesia
  
• 3rd place with the award of 100 USD goes to Ms. Zunairoh Zunairoh from Indonesia
  
• The last runner in the contest, Mr. Alfredo Martinez Martinez from Spain is granted 100 USD
  

What strategy to choose? Is it a bad idea to put all eggs in one basket? Should you choose a single currency pair or to trade with a few of them? Can an old dog learn new tricks? Is the risk inevitable in Forex? If you are ready to get the answers to these questions, read the success stories of our winners:

 

1st place - Mr. Alexander Lukyanchikov from Ukraine

Thank you for congratulations! I’m happy to share my contest experience. Have you seen my avatar? I’ve been using it for a few years. It shows the goal that I was pursuing: at the beginning, I was looking in the mirror; now I’m looking out of it. I achieved one of my life goals and I’m happy. On July, 2nd, I’ll turn 65. Thanks to OctaFX, I made myself an anniversary gift. Judge for yourself: my Ukrainian pension equals to $51 a month. It’s a bit more than $600 a year.

 

I’ve been trading for 8 years and now I’m sure that choosing one currency pair is much better than watching a few pairs’ trends. If you work with just one currency pair, all your funds are localized, it’s easier to manage and control them. However, it may conflict with the idea not to put all eggs in one basket. My strategy is not that good with the sideways trend, but it was perfect with the May AUDUSD trend. In the second part of the contest I started making mistakes, so I tried hedging, and when I realized what my mistake were and I got profits.

 

I don’t spend all my time using this strategy: when I can’t predict the further movement, I wait for a couple of days to see the trend clearer.

 

The key factor of my success can be perfectly described by a quote by Mark Douglas:

 

“When asked for their secrets of success, they categorically state that they didn't achieve any measure of consistency in accumulating wealth from trading until they learned self-discipline, emotional control, and the ability to change their minds to flow with the markets. First, I want to point out that self-discipline, emotional control, and learning to change one's mind after making a commitment are all psychological issues that have nothing to do with news services, advisory services, new exchanges, or technical or fundamental trading systems - computerized or not. Second, from my trading experiences, observations, and research, I have discovered that all traders - both winners and losers - seem to share some very common experiences. Either in the beginning or at some point early in their trading career, all traders experience confusion, frustration, anxiety, and the pain of failure. The few-traders who pass through this phase to accumulate wealth are those who eventually confront and work through some very difficult psychological issues about what it means to be a trader, and this process of realization and change normally takes several years, even for the best of them. … There is some element of truth to the saying that you can't teach an old dog new tricks, except that it should really read "An old dog won't learn new tricks". It's not that it is impossible for someone regardless of their age to learn something new; the issue isn't ability.”

 

2nd place - Mr. Zainal Abidin from Indonesia

I am very glad to get second place this time, all my efforts paid off! Time that I use to trade is around 3-4 hours per day. I try to be as disciplined as I can without to much greed. That's the key to my success. And the strategy that I use is SR and MM. I've been trading for about 2-3 years and I am determined to improve my ability to be better. Thank you, OctaFX, for already appreciating my trading skills!

3rd place - Ms. Zunairoh Zunairoh from Indonesia

I’m happy like never before! It’s great to become one of the winners. I didn’t spend too much time trading but, anyway, I was deeply involved. Now I’ll take a short break and won’t trade for some time not to dull the edge of the winner’s pleasure. Then, I will surely go on competing again. I firmly believe that it’s experience that teaches us to be better and to do better. Preferably, 3 years or more - that’s enough to become quite a pro in trading. Experience and patience are the key elements in successful trading. As far as my experience says, the existing Forex data doesn’t necessarily affect the chart, so my advice is not to believe the data blindly. This strategy has always helped me, especially when I got 100 pips in a single transaction.

 

The last runner in the contest - Mr. Alfredo Martinez Martinez from Spain

I plan to considerably improve my performance in the next round of the contest. I learn a lot when I trade, so this time I learned that it’s rather dangerous to trade with the high leverage, especially if it’s all about the highly volatile assets. Anyways, to win the contest, you have to accept this risk, and risk means losses but also higher gain. Very large gains are needed to qualify for any prize position in the contest.

 

I didn’t use stop loss this time in hope that the asset would spin in my favor, but the trend was the opposite. As the leverage was very high, it was really quick. This is a contest, so I didn’t lose any real money; I became the last runner which is not so bad considering the prize. So this contest, is anyway, worth accepting the risk. No risk - no gain.

 

During the contest, I was continuously monitoring the market with periodic checks (every 3-4 hours). At first I got very good yields, but at the end of the first week my balance turned negative. However, my most successful operation was Buy with EURCAD. My favorite tools were Crossing Moving Averages and Awesome Oscillator.

 

I guess time is different for each person and their circumstances, but I’ve been trading for two and a half years trying many things, and I think I'm close to being a good trader. Now what I need to do is to trade for some time on a demo account just for the sake of practice.

Saints Foundation score at Saint Mary's stadium with the help of OctaFX

​

Football is a big part of our society and is world-recognised as a universal sport in many countries. It educates and inspires people of all ages, brings people and communities together.

 

http://i.imgur.com/M5t1MIF.jpg

 

OctaFX, in conjunction with the Saints Foundation, Southampton FC kindly donated pitch playing time for a lucky group from the Fustal programme. We are helping to enable young people to gain an education while playing the sport.

 

The Saints Foundation’s Futsal and Education Scholarship was created in 2011 and started with 16 scholars. The course now has 76 full-time scholars, including the club’s first ever girls’ team who are currently fourth in the league.

 

OctaFX has recently helped facilitate the opportunity for a group of young people to play within Saint Mary's stadium. An experience such as this has given these young people a much deserved reward and morale boost for all their hard work, during their past 2-years of study. On the day, a great game was played by both teams and the players enjoyed the event immensely.

 

This combination of studying and playing sport has proved incredibly successful, with former students now undertaking football scholarships in the US, university study in the UK, and work opportunities with the Saints Foundation itself.

 

Many students from the group that played have been accepted to universities. The group who play at Saint Mary's stadium on this day were also crowned FLT Fustal League 3 and League 4 National Champions as well as League 2 runners up.

 

As the scholars come to the end of the year they will be working hard to complete their studies before they go to compete in the FLT Futsal National Finals for the last time.

 

OctaFX is proud to be associated with the Saints Foundation as they are encouraging the youth of today to aspire through sports education, ensuring a brighter future.

OctaFX: changes in trading conditions for the June 23rd Brexit vote

 

http://i.imgur.com/T0J8GsR.png​

The “Brexit” vote, taking place on the 23rd of June this year, on whether or not there should be a British exit from the EU, is an important day to be aware of for OctaFX customers.

 

OctaFX is responding to the increasing probability that there could be some changes in the currency markets, therefore, OctaFX will update its trading conditions.

 

Due to the Brexit vote, OctaFX will increase margin requirements on all pairs, that include British pound (GBP) and the Euro (EUR), starting from June 23rd until June 27th. The margin requirements are going to be increased to 1 per cent on the GBP pairs (1:100) and to 0.5 per cent on the EUR pairs (1:200). On the day of the referendum, June 23rd, margin requirements on the British pound pairs can be increased to 2% (1:50).

 

This vote is something that traders and markets cannot ignore.

 

Also, please be aware that there are always potential risks, OctaFX would like you to make you aware that the requirements can be changed depending on market volatility.

OctaFX helps disabled sail in Bali

http://i.imgur.com/r1SSUbd.jpg​

 

At OctaFX we are happy to support sports education and foundations, that help make a difference to the lives of people with disabilities.

 

That’s why we, at OctaFX, are proud to call ourselves a socially responsible company that offers support to disabled people. One such foundation that we aid is the Bali Sports Foundation (BSF), that helps disabled sportsmen in Bali and East Indonesia partake in various sports. We support 3 sports, on behalf of the BSF:

 

• Wheelchair Basketball
  
• Wheelchair Rugby
  
• Disabled Sailing
  

Through our time and effort of volunteering for the BSF, we are very happy to announce the recent purchase and donation of a Hansa 303 para sail boat worth $10,000, for the BSF sailing programme. This sail boat will enable many disabled people, in the region, to develop skills that otherwise would be hard to attain.

 

The BSF helps improve the lives of many people living with disabilities in Bali and East Indonesia. The BSF focus on disabled, special needs and adaptive sports. The foundation runs many programmes for autistic, cerebral palsy, blind, deaf mute and amputee youths. Parasailing is just one of the many sports run by the BSF for disabled people.

 

The foundation endeavours to make sporting provisions for the disabled and bring together the Indonesian Ministry of Health, Ministry of Youth and Sports, Ministry of Education along with national sports federations and the Paralympic committee, to provide opportunities for disabled sportsmen and women.

 

The parasailing boat is currently being used within the BSF and will be seen in action in the up and coming Bali International Disabled Sailing Regattas on September 8th – 12th September 2016.

The key to my success is patience and the strategy that I used is SnD and good MM. I have been trading for the past 6 years and I am determined to improve my ability to be better. Thanks to OctaFX who have appreciated my trading skill!

 

2nd place: Ms. Nur Hasyim from Indonesia

I´m very proud and happy. I didn't spend a lot of time doing this. I will participate in future contests and other promotions while continuing to learn and how to trade, probably because I've been using MM wisely.

 

The strategy I used is reading the area of supply and demand, therefore I could predict where the market will move. Could I win the contest - no, because I only use the little money I have, to learn about trading. Traders need to learn to be patient.

● The last place is Ms. Insana from Indonesia who has won 100 USD

 

To gain some more insight and tips - just read the following interviews from our successful traders!

 

1st place: Mr. Indra Sakti Laksana from Indonesia

I am very happy to be a winner with OctaFX. I do not spend a lot of time trading, but it takes a lot of concentration to keep up with all the participants. I will take part in every contest whenever possible to practice and focus more. Within trading I use a combination of various analyses of the current price conditions. I have not experienced anything spectacular but it depends on the individual trader.

2nd place: Mr. Ibnu Hajar from Indonesia

I am very happy to be involved in the contest although I did not spend much time trading.

In the coming months I want to improve my trading knowledge and experience. My plan is to take part in the contest more often after my recent success to improve my chances of winning. Being disciplined in money management is important to trade well. My advice to help you trade better is that you need to see the bigger trading picture. I did not use many techniques, just the Bollinger Bands (BB). It has taken me approximately two years to develop a good understanding of the best strategies.

 

Bollinger Bands - this is a member of the “Trend” family of technical indicators within Forex trading. Traders use the bands to anticipate increases or decreases in volatility that can signal trend changes.

Last place: Ms. Insana from Indonesia

My plan is to do better in order to achieve better results. This experience has been a lesson for my trading skills. I normally do not spend a lot of time trading as I do it in my spare time. My most successful trade has been a profit of $1159.20. I used BBMA or Bollinger Bands (BB) when I traded recently. To be a good trader and knowledgeable, takes approximately two years I think.
