163 Forex fans have been fighting for the victory in the recently held FX Market Masters March 2013. And a Ukrainian trader, Sergiy Chepurko, has proved to be the best by setting a new record at ForexCup. During the competition this trader made 1101% of profit!

At present the winner is already mastering the management of a PAMM ECN account with a sizable balance, which he’s got as the main prize. Sergiy Chepurko has also agreed to answer some questions and share his impression of ForexCup contests.

The interview is given below:


Please, tell a few words about yourself. Where do you live? How old are you? What is your hobby?

My name is Sergiy, I’m 26. I live in Rovno, a Ukrainian town. I work for METRO Cash and Carry Company. My hobby is Forex as you might have guessed.

Tell us about your trading carrier in Forex: the way you’ve learnt about it and taken up trading. You might remember your first profits.

I’ve been only 2 years at Forex. I started accidentally by getting enrolled in some brokerage courses in our town. I first made about 30 pips on USD/JPY.

Do you trade on a real account? How do you like it?

Yes, I do. But Forex contests are more appealing to me now. I do succeed but not much.

What is trading for you? Is it a hobby or a source of income?

So far I haven’t reached the outstanding results. Forex is much of a hobby, yielding profit.

Will you share some secrets of your trading strategy?

There are no secrets at all. I just use the trend following Ichimoku candlestick charts.

How did you learn about ForexCup project? How long have you been participating in it? Do you take part in other competitions?

I’ve learnt about it from some Forex-related forum. It’s not the only project I’m taking part in. But your competitions are great! Thus, FX Market Masters March 2013 has become my 21st contest, and, apparently, the most successful one.

What would you change in the format of ForexCup competitions?

Your project is one of the best. I especially appreciate the lot size restrictions – it helps to even the odds.

When did you realize that you could win? Describe your feeling when you learnt about your victory.

You can’t tell it – you can only feel it!

What are going to do with the prize? Are you willing to manage the PAMM account? Or you might be more interested in the financial aspect of your win.

Frankly speaking, I do love the idea of managing the PAMM account. Right now I need some more confidence in myself, but time will show.

Are you willing to go on with ForexCup?

Sure I am!

What would you recommend newcomers in the Forex market?

I advise everybody not to be lazy, get some training on demo accounts, build up new trading strategies and take part in ForexCup competitions! Good Luck!


As you see, to be a success at Forex you need to be confident, ready to master your trading skills, keep on practicing and be at least a little lucky.

We invite you to join new competitions and make higher records in Forex-contests.

Your achievements at Forex depend on you – go for them!

Ariful Miftakhuddin should really be admired for his trading talents and outstanding results! The winner made more than 2000% profit, leaving his competitors far behind. It was a clear victory.

We were lucky to interview the most successful trader in the Asian Forex Market and asked him a few questions about the championship, his trading strategy and plans for the future.

1. Could you please tell us a few words about yourself?
I am 25 years old and I am single. I live in Indonesia. My hobby is music and bird watching.

2. Could you please describe your “way in Forex”: how and when you started, how you moved on, when you managed to make the first profitable trade, etc.?
I learnt about Forex trading about three years ago. Actually, I started learning by joining some thematic forums.

3. Do you trade with real money? Are you successful at it?
Yes, I do trade in a real account. Well, what concerns profitability I consider it is enough for me, when my profit is bigger than my losses.

4. What is trading for you: your main source of income or just a nice pastime, which earns you some money?
Trading is my main source of income. I consider it my job.

5. How did you learn about ForexCup contests? Have you ever participated in contests held by other brokers?
For the first time I came across the mentioning of ForexCup contests at one of the forums, that I usually read. So, I decided to try - and now I like it very much. I have never participated in competitions, which are held by other brokers.

6. What are the advantages and disadvantages of ForexCup competitions?
As for me, the main advantage of ForexCup competitions is free participation in most contests. I admire it because you do not lose anything even if you are not successful. And I cannot think of any disadvantages, the project is of high quality.

7. Let’s talk about the Championship you won – it was one of the biggest ForexCup events, how did you dare to participate?
Actually, when I saw the announcement, I just decided to try. I thought “Why not?” and joined the championship.

8. We know that before that contest you have already participated in 16 other contests – what encourages you to try again and again?
My main reason to participate in each contest is to learn from other traders and to develop my own trading skills.

9. Weren’t you scared by the high level of other traders in the contest? Did you follow the results of your competitors?
I should say that I wasn’t afraid – if I already joined it, I just had to do my best at trading. And I didn’t follow the results of other participants – I was totally concentrated on my own tasks.

10. How did you make your trading decisions? Did you think everything over or did you let yourself risk sometimes?
In most cases I carefully analyzed the situation, but sometimes I made risky decisions too.

11. Did you dream about the victory or you were just sure that you would win?
I should confess that I haven’t even dreamed about the victory. So, it was a total surprise for me!

12. According to the contest statistics, you made a lot of trades – and you traded mainly GBPJPY or other GBP pairs – is it your favorite trading instrument? Why did you choose it? What other pairs do you like to trade?
You are totally right, most of my trades were made on GBPJPY – just because it’s my favorite currency pair. Also I often used EURJPY and USDJPY, because those instruments usually have nice movements.

13. Also, we can see that you had really few losing trades – so, did it take you long to work out a profitable strategy? What is your strategy based on?
I created my strategy while I was learning to trade at Forex. While preparing it, I tried to use different indicators, but finally I picked Ichimoku.

14. What did you feel at the end of the contest when your leadership was proved?
I was very, very happy about my victory!

15. You got a PAMM ECN account with significant money in it as a reward – are you excited to start your PAMM manager career or would you prefer just a money prize?
I enjoy having a PAMM ECN account – I have always dreamed about it. But if you had given me just a money prize, I would not be upset *smiling*.

16. How do you plan to manage your PAMM ECN account?
I want to develop it, to attract Investors and manage it as long as possible – and make great profit, of course.

17. Are you going to participate in forex-contests again, after being awarded such a great title?
Forex-contests are my hobby, so, you will see me in ForexCup competitions again and again.

18. Could you please give some tips of advice to newbies and to those who still plan to start participating in ForexCup contests?
My main advice is “never give up!”. You should try again and again until you succeed. And do not forget to improve your skills by both learning theory and practicing it.

ForexCup team totally agrees with the winner: never stop on your way to your dream. Take every opportunity to improve it and develop your skills – and success will find you. Do everything possible – and you will be awarded! ​

Готовы к переменам? Вас ждет Scalping Virtuoso – новый формат соревнований ForexCup!

ForexCup с удовольствием сообщает о запуске нового формата соревнований – Scalping Virtuoso. Это платные недельные состязания, которые обязательно придутся по нраву поклонникам Форекс-конкурсов!

Ранее платные конкурсы проводились в течение месяца. Но популярность недельных соревнований подтолкнула команду ForexCup к созданию нового формата состязаний. Так появилась идея платных конкурсов, которые будут длиться ровно одну неделю. Сегодня мы представляем на суд трейдеров Scalping Virtuoso, зарегистрироваться в котором можно прямо сейчас!
Итак, что такое Scalping Virtuoso? По сути, это платный недельный конкурс, со вступительными взносами, значительная часть которых – 90% – уходит в призовой фонд. Особенность соревнования: возможностью использовать скальпинг и совершенно любые советники по выбору трейдера. Звучит заманчиво, не так ли?
Будущих участников конкурса Scalping Virtuoso ждут:
• Семь призовых мест;
• Гарантированный призовой фонд – 300 долларов;
• Небольшой взнос за участие – 5 долларов (его наличие сократит конкуренцию и увеличит призовой фонд. Чем больше участников – тем больше призы!);
• Пять торговых дней – проверено, оптимальный конкурсный период;
• Возможность использовать абсолютно любые советники и скальпинг!

Готовы продемонстрировать искусство виртуозного трейдинга? Scalping Virtuoso ждет своих победителей!

Пришло время навыков виртуозного трейдинга – второй тур Scalping Virtuoso открыт!
ForexCup снова ищет виртуозных трейдеров – мы запускаем Scalping Virtuoso-2!

Scalping Virtuoso – самый таинственный и еще не изученный поклонниками ForexCup тип конкурсов. Платное недельное соревнование с неограниченными возможностями скальпинга может казаться необычным и непонятным форматом. Но мы готовы развеять все ваши сомнения!
• Вас пугает вступительный взнос? На самом деле, он снижает конкуренцию и увеличивает призовой фонд , который разделят участники;
• Неделя – слишком мало для платного соревнования? Проверено на практике, пять дней – идеальный промежуток времени для достижения лучших конкурсных результатов;
• А что, если в конкурсе не будет нужного количества участников? Организаторы гарантируют установленный призовой фонд – без награды не останетесь;
• А что, если участников будет слишком много? В конкурсе сразу семь призовых мест – а вы достаточно талантливы, чтобы претендовать на одно из них!
• Не умеете применять скальпинг на практике? Так это же просто идеальный шанс последить за стратегиями других трейдеров и развить собственные навыки!

Еще сомневаетесь, что Scalping Virtuoso вам понравится? Тогда изучите подробные правила ниже и будьте уверены – конкурс вас не разочарует!

Чемпионат России по Форекс, проходивший на ForexCup при поддержке компании FXOpen, завершился 29 ноября 2013 года. На протяжении восьми недель конкурсный процесс находился под пристальным вниманием мирового трейдерского сообщества. Результаты Чемпионата, однако, стали неоднозначными и непредсказуемыми.

По итогам состязания, три первых призовых места (за которые полагается три, две и тысяча долларов вознаграждения, соответственно) были заняты трейдерами из Китая. Напомним, однако, что, согласно правилам, получить эти призы они не могут, поскольку не являются резидентами России.

Таким образом, призерами соревнования стали:
1 место – Ринат Займилов из Екатеринбурга;
2 место – Людмила Беглова из Санкт-Петербурга;
3 место – Геннадий Потемин из Нижнего Новгорода.

Что касается реальных победителей конкурса, то в качестве вознаграждения их ждут денежные бонусы за успешную торговлю. Китайские трейдеры с таким исходом не согласны и требуют пересмотра результатов. С другой стороны, участники из России, ставшие обладателями приличных денежных вознаграждений, утверждают, что их победа полностью соответствует правилам соревнования.

Итоги Чемпионата России раскололи мировое трейдерское сообщество скандалом на призовой почве.

В настоящее время организаторы общаются с лидерами конкурса, чтобы получить развернутое мнение о происходящем из первых уст. А всем нам в самом ближайшем будущем стоит ожидать Чемпионата Китая по Форекс. И открытыми остаются вопросы о том, будут ли в нем участвовать представители других стран и кто в итоге станет победителем.

Следите за обновлениями на сайте ForexCup.
