OctaFX Supercharged real contest is an exciting challenge for traders all around the world who fight to get the ultimate prize - Tesla Model S! This month, our finalist is Mr. Sohail Abbasi from Pakistan. He demonstrated his outstanding trading abilities and became the Round 14 winner.

Q: How do you feel about winning this month’s Supercharged round?

A: I feel amazing! You can’t even imagine how happy I was when I learned that I was the winner.

Q: Why did you decide to participate in the Contest? Do you think you can win the top prize, Tesla Model S?

A: To tell the truth, when I saw the prizes that are so big and valuable, I thought: wow, I have to try! I must win the contest for my family and for my country! The ultimate prize is so appealing that my only option is to do my best and finally win it.

Q: Are you an involved Forex trader?

A: Well, I do work hard. As a matter of fact, I work 18 hours a day, designing the best strategy and the most suitable plan that can help me to win. When I have a few tried and tested ideas, I pick the best one and implement it.

Q: So is Forex your full-time job?

A: Yes. I’ve been trading for the past 6 years. I did my MBA and then I realized that I don’t want a usual office job, so I focused on Forex trading.

Q: What would you recommend for those who are only planning to take part in the contest?

A: Select your goal and focus on it. Search for the possible ways to achieve it and then try a few plans. Work hard to finally get what you want. This is actually my piece of advice: your success is your hard work, hard work again and even more hard work. But at the end of the day, when you find yourself a winner, it’s all worth it.

How to win a round of OctaFX Champion Demo Contest: success stories

​

Round 45 of OctaFX Champion demo contest is over, and our participants are ready to share their trading experience and key to success. Here are the lucky traders who won prizes in Round 45:

● 1st place with the award of 500 USD goes to Mr. Md Toiab Ali from Bangladesh

● 2nd place with the award of 300 USD goes to Mr. Suparmin from Indonesia

● 3rd place with the award of 100 USD goes to Mr. Rahardyan Widodo from Indonesia

● The last runner in the contest, Mr. Manat Phusrisalap from Thailand is granted 100 USD


Here’s what our winners have told us:

1st place – Mr. Md Toiab Ali from Bangladesh

I’m so happy to be the Champion this time! My friend told me there was an exciting opportunity to test my trading skills and introduced OctaFX broker to me. Right away, I thought that it was a great idea. Now, when I won the round of one of the demo contests, I would love to take part in the Supercharged real сontest. I think I can win there as well. I have a secret that I can share with all the traders who want to become successful: forget about greed, but be confident. My self-confidence was so strong that I traded better than the others and therefore I was able to grab the first prize. I can’t say that my gain was spectacular, but I didn’t encounter considerable losses either. That’s all because I wasn’t greedy.


2nd place – Mr. Suparmin from Indonesia

I’m really excited to be the champion: I’ve tried several times and finally I won! I’m rather involved in trading and I spend a lot of time on it. I need a few hours to focus and I wait patiently for the right moment to enter the trade. This contest was very useful for me and helped to improve my trading skills. The prize was also very attractive, so I plan to participate in a few more contests in the future. As for the success factors, my secret is patience. To win, you have to stay focused and observe the market movements, sticking to your strategy. The luck factor is also significant, but patience is the first key. I’m sure a lot of contestants are much better than me, but many traders are impatient and they use bigger lots, so it leads to failure. Apart from being able to wait and watch, I follow the market sentiment and trends. I read the news, the forums, Twitter, Facebook, etc. To open a trade, I use the indicators in Metatrader 4 such as EMA, stochastics or BB. My plan is not perfect, but it has always helped me to trade. And yes, I think that you have to practice trading for years to become a good trader. To be honest, I’ve never had any remarkable gains, but for me, the best profit is the consistent profit, so I can consider myself a successful trader.


3rd place – Mr. Rahardyan Widodo from Indonesia

I’m surely happy that I’m one of the winners. I’m a really active trader and I would be glad to participate in OctaFX contests later on - they help me educate myself and provide a few useful trading skills. I took part in this round of Champion contest because I was sure I’d be patient enough to win. I also think that one of the important success factors is being able to learn from the experts. In addition, my strategy includes waiting for the right moment and analysing the trends in a proper way. With the help of these ideas, I’ve never experienced any huge losses. I’ve been trading for some time now and I firmly believe that the right way to do things is to learn for as long as you can. A year or even more is a minimum amount of time to become a good trader.


The last runner–Mr. Manat Phusrisalap from Thailand

I would really like to improve my performance next time and defeat the other contestants. That’s my goal now, and I’m really sure I can do it. I’m even more motivated now than I was in the beginning of the contest. Trading takes a lot of my time, so why not? I use scalping as my most preferred trading tool so I think I’m going to use it next time to be the winner.

Round 15 Supercharged real contest winner: focus on trading! ​

OctaFX welcomes one more round winner of our Supercharged real contest! This contest is an exciting opportunity for both the beginners and the advanced traders. Mr. Wagiri from Indonesia was skilful and lucky enough to leave other participants behind. He was glad to share his strategy and trading tips that helped him to win:

Q: How do you feel about OctaFX Supercharged real contest?
A: I was very happy to be a part of the Supercharged real contest by OctaFX. I felt quite stressed when my points had a little difference at the end of the contest, but that's the art, the contest makes us more excited.

Q: How involved in the contest were you – was it taking all of your time?
A: No, I would just do an analysis, open a position and then put a Take Profit. Then I would leave to check it in a few hours later and so on. So, I didn’t spend too much time in front of the chart.

Q: What is the key factor to your success? Why are you better than everyone else?
A: The key to my success is simple. I make a plan about my trade and I follow it. Of course, any plan may fail, but when something goes wrong, I look for the most appropriate solution to the problem and apply it as soon as I can.

Q: What was your strategy? Have you developed a perfect plan?
A: I use a strategy that most people use. I just focus on one technique and always learn from my mistakes. Then I stick to this experience until it becomes a part of my instinct. In trading, the most important factors are instincts and timing. I’ve been trading for almost 3 years, and I’m sure: to be a good trader, you always have to learn from your mistakes and to try to fix them, even though you may experience the same failure up to hundreds or even thousands of times.

Q: Have you encountered a considerable loss?
A: Yes, I had substantial losses. However, I consider everything a lesson and motivation to survive and restore the profits in the future.

Q: Do you plan to win Tesla?
A: Yes! I will strive to win Tesla which is a very attractive prize.

Q: What advice can you give to your fellow participants of OctaFX Supercharged real contest?
A: My advice is to keep struggling to achieve what you want and not be too focused on your position: instead, focus on your trading. Then the victory will come to you.

If you haven’t participated in the Supercharged real contest yet, it’s high time for you to take the chance!

Register in the next round now and trade to win!

OctaFX turns demo trading contest into a game – Supreme Game ​

OctaFX Southampton Supreme Game is developed by OctaFX in dedication to partnership with Southampton Football club. The contest looks nothing alike the previous company financial promotions and here’s why:

• It lasts for 90 minutes unlike weekly, monthly or even longer lasting contests.
• Traders are divided into two teams at random upon the start of the game and two teams compete on a trading field
• To score a goal a trader must double the equity, starting from $10000 balance on demo account
• Each goal scored is assigned to the team the trader was put into.
• Three top players from both teams receive prizes after the game ends
• The prize fund for each round is unlimited and depends on the number of goals scored by the winning team traders
• Contest has life feed designed as football commentary that helps follow the game progress
• A trader can show his abilities to everyone sending a link to the contest page, where a spectator can see goals scored and the process of getting them scored too.
• How it works page is telling everything about the contest here.

Best three players of each team are rewarded with a prize fund and each goal-scorer gets additional $10:

“We’ve been developing contests since the very first day our company existed. This contest however turns the whole idea of trading competitions upside down, showing an interesting solution on how to make traders involved with a help of great visual content and a different meaning behind the idea of “everyone for themselves” competition. It is designed as a page of a game screen, combining Forex and gaming. Everyone is excited to be in OctaFX United or Southampton FC team and when traders score and their team wins they get additional bonuses. Linking two great things together brought us this Supreme Game experience”.
