internationallove Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 FBS offers a new bonus program “25% deposit bonus”. Every time you deposit your account, you get 25% FREE bonus! More funds, more trading, more fun! Promotion rules Bonus is deposited automatically into accounts which were deposited via e-currencies. If you deposited your account by bank wire, please contact our Customer Support Department. No partner’s commission is paid for bonus funds trading The bonus cannot be added to internal transfer deposits and to deposits by contests/promotions, etc. The bonus can be withdrawn after the total volume of orders in an account reaches bonus size divided by 3 (rounded to the larger number). In case the account had several bonuses, this volume sums up. E.g. your deposit was 1000 USD. Your bonus will be 250 USD. The total volume must be 250/3 = 84 lots. The bonus can become withdrawable ONLY if by the moment of lots calculation it is still in the account. If the necessary volume reaches required number, but the bonus is already cancelled, it will not be added or compensated. In case the amount of your own funds becomes less than the bonus size – the bonus will be cancelled. In case trader’s own funds are withdrawn after the bonus added, the bonus will be cancelled. In case the account balance falls below zero, the company compensates the account balance to zero. Every client can have ONLY ONE bonus account of each type. In case several accounts of one type are found belonging to one person (or if such suspicions arise, including IP address match, contact info match, etc), all the bonuses will be cancelled. Profit from trading on a bonus account can be withdrawn anytime. Maximum bonus size is 10 000 USD (or 10 000 EUR for EUR accounts) Bonus funds are not included into the balance during StopOut calculation. This means that in case an order reaches StopOut level, bonus will not be considered in this calculation. Notes: FBS reserves a right to change or modify the promotion rules, stop the promotion or any of its parts anytime without prior notification. We will post such changes in our “Company news” section Any arguable situation not listed in these rules will be the subject to the decision of FBS. Any decision taken by FBS will be considered final and mandatory for all the parties. FBS reserves a right to decline client’s bonus application without explaining the reason FBS reserves a right to cancel client’s bonus without explaining the reason The English version of these rules should be considered prevailing over any other language versions.

internationallove Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 The winners of “999” about the contest, trading, success! “999” Demo contest by FBS ended in late December. We decided to get acquainted with the winners and ask them to share their impressions of the contest with us, tell us about their trading and give some good advice to beginners. Vladimir Dybovsky (Russia), the overall winner of “999” contest: FBS: Vladimir, how long have you been trading? How did you start exchange trading? VD: I learned about Forex by chance wandering in the Internet about 3 years ago. I started reading a little and trading a little. I’ve been training regularly about 1 year, mostly participating in contests. FBS: What currency pairs do you prefer? Why? VD: Mostly I trade GBP/USD. It’s not so boring as EUR/USD, and spread is not so large. It’s important when you trade at short distances you manage to understand charts better. In fact, I had no time to get acquainted with exotic currency pairs. FBS: Please, tell us about your impressions of “999” Contest? VD: Right from the start I liked “999” Contest for its originality. And although my start was not very successful, I kept on playing just for my workout without looking at the table until my profit reached about two hundred thousand. And when I checked the list of the contestants I was already in the lead. Perhaps that was the right approach – to work without being distracted. FBS: What trading strategy were you following while participating in the contest? What helped you to take decisions? VD: In Forex trading I follow sport style. You need to monitor dynamics of a process and estimate possible risks correctly. It’s like in racing. I’ll try to formalize it later. FBS: In your opinion, what qualities should have a trader to be successful in Forex? VD: At first, you need to learn the material to understand what is happening. And then, like in sport, there should be purposeful training. If you want to be successful in sport trading you need to have quick and, of course, right reaction and psychological stability. FBS: What would you advise to beginners in trading? VD: Learn, practice, don’t be upset of your failures. You need to have the right approach in all the activities. Farid Mulyukov (Russia), the second place winner of “999” Contest: FBS: Farid, how long have you been trading? How did you start exchange trading? FM: I started trading as an amateur not long ago. FBS: What currency pairs do you prefer? Why? FM: I prefer currency pairs with much or less predictable trends, currency of those countries, whose economy is trustworthy in the very period of time. FBS: Please, tell us about your impressions of “999” Contest? FM: “999”Contest is an exciting competition with wide geography of participants and transparency of results. FBS: What trading strategy were you following while participating in the contest? What helped you to take decisions? FM: My strategy was not too difficult: to avoid a big gap from the leaders on the first ten days of the competition, eliminate a handicap, and then monitor the results in the list of contestants. FBS: In your opinion, what qualities should have a trader to be successful in Forex? FM: The trader should have his own opinion on all the events in the market. FBS: What would you advise to beginners in trading? FM: You need to master the basics of trading and then start to trade and, if it is necessary, do the daily corrections, that is to analyze the mistakes. Khadijeh Fazlullahi (Iran), the third place winner of “999” Contest: FBS: Khadijeh, how long have you been trading? How did you start exchange trading? KF: I have been trading in the market for three years. I became a trader by chance – I just came across the article about Forex in the Internet. FBS: What currency pairs do you prefer? Why? KF: I have no particular preference in currency pairs. The main thing for me is low spread. FBS: Please, tell us about your impressions of “999” Contest? KF: Impressions are positive. Thank you for this wonderful contest! FBS: What trading strategy were you following while participating in the contest? What helped you to take decisions? KF: This is my personal technical strategy. Let me keep it a secret. FBS: In your opinion, what qualities should have a trader to be successful in Forex? KF: It is a difficult question… FBS: What would you advise to beginners in trading? KF: First of all I recommend to be disciplined. In my opinion, trading discipline is the most important thing. Yan Chenghuai (China), the forth place winner of “999” Contest: Click here to see image FBS: Yan, how long have you been trading? How did you start exchange trading? Y.Ch.: I’ve been trading for three years. I got in Forex by chance. FBS: What currency pairs do you prefer? Why? Y.Ch.: I prefer Euro-pairs. The trading with these pairs is more interesting and dynamic. FBS: Please, tell us about your impressions of “999” Contest? Y.Ch.: I liked the contest. But I would like much more people to participate in this contest FBS: What trading strategy were you following while participating in the contest? What helped you to take decisions? Y.Ch.: During the contest my trade was very stable. I was trying to get in the top three, but, unfortunately, there was not so much luck for me. FBS: In your opinion, what qualities should have a trader to be successful in Forex? Y.Ch.: A trader should be calm. Success in trading comes only to people with “cold mind”. Andrew Gutorov (Lithuania), the fifth place winner of “999” Contest: Click here to see image FBS: Andrew, how long have you been trading? How did you start exchange trading? AG: First I learned about Forex in 2000. I was working in Ireland that time, my salary was quite high and I wanted to invest money somewhere. Since then a lot things has happened, a lot of Irish beer has been drunk, not that only Irish, and not only beer. I tried great number of strategies, different ways of money management. Sometimes I earned, sometimes I lost money, sometimes I took significant (up to six month) breaks in trading due to some technical or financial reasons. I can’t call me a professional, but my knowledge is huge, my experience is much larger. FBS: What currency pairs do you prefer? Why? AG: For more than 10 years I’ve tried, probably, all the pairs. Now I use 4 of them: EUR/USD, USD/JPY, USD/CAD and GBP/JPY. When you constantly follow some pairs, you get used to them and start “feeling” their behavior, their mood. FBS: Please, tell us about your impressions of “999” Contest? AG: It was the first contest in which I’ve ever participated. I don’t know why. I’ve never participated before for two reasons: firstly, when there are hundreds or even a thousand of participants, and there are only 3 prizes, you understand that it is unreal to win. Secondly, in my opinion, trading is more individual sport, where you don't need rivals and you compete with yourself first of all: you compete with your own fears, greed, impatience and other negative qualities. One can say that trading makes us better. If we are talking about the contest it was funny that not only people from Russia, Ukraine and other former USSR countries, but also from Asian countries are among the contestants. These people have another psychology, mentality and school of trading. Well, I really didn’t expect that I would take the fifth place in the contest. I was pleasantly surprised. To tell the truth, before the contest I aimed to be in the top hundred. FBS: What trading strategy were you following while participating in the contest? What helped you to take decisions? AG: At the beginning I tried to work carefully like in a real account. Main thing is not to lose funds. Little profit is better than a small loss. And, of course, I followed the list of contestants all the time: it was interesting what the gap was between me and the leaders. Then I started to risk my money when I realized that I can be in the top ten. There was even a possibility to be the third place winner, but last days were unsuccessful for my transactions. My decisions were based on indicators, levels of sup-resistance. Sometimes they were based even on intuition. FBS: In your opinion, what qualities should have a trader to be successful in Forex? AG: First of all, you need to have DISCIPLINE! There will be no success without hard discipline. But on the other hand, you totally need to be able to improvise. Force majeure situations often happen in the market, one even can say, that Forex is one constant force majeure situation (laughing). And it happens that decisions must be taken quickly, very quickly. Certainly, you need to know before what you are going to do with those or other further developments, but sometimes you have to improvise during your trading. I thing, that every trader is an artist a little. That’s why it is quite impossible to trade without improvisation. FBS: What would you advise to beginners in trading? AG: You need patience, patience and again patience. And, of course, discipline. And don’t think that you will immediately become a millionaire. It is a hard, exhausted work, but not a constant holiday. You should never rest during your trading. But any man can do what another man has done. Therefore, you should try to trade; also you should control your risks in the process. And don’t deposit more funds than you may afford to spend. If you don’t want to be painfully hurt (laughing). The best teacher is a real account… but sometimes it takes too much for its lessons. Stay connected with FBS next round of “999” demo contest will start in January, 2011.
