“Forex should be promoted”. Introducing an interview with the winner of the March’s Battle of Traders
Today’s winner of The Battle of Traders was attracted to Forex accidentally – by a book on wave analysis written by Ralph Elliott. 10 years have passed since then, but the trader still applies the classic waves’ approach to make prognoses on the market. Let us introduce you Yuri Genrikhovich Luchina. It is he who is on the top of March’s Battle, having made only 15 transactions using USD/JPY currency pair. For trading in the Battle, the trader has used the full range of available devices. It is important to note that the winner’s trading strategy brought him profit – he closed all trades in plus. Yuri Genrikhovich himself supposes that in order to achieve success, one should not be afraid to trade and take a risk. His educational background is related to Law and he lives in Belarus. Reasons why the winner considers Forex to be the business of the future, which needs to be promoted, as well as Yuri’s plans to trade on a real account, are presented in the interview below.
- Yuri Genrikhovich, tell us, please, how did you learn about the Battle of Traders?
- I found it by chance through advertising on the Internet.
- Have you already had experience of participating in other contests?
- I had, indeed.
- As far as I know, in March you first became a participant in the Battle. Did you set a goal to take the first place or did the victory come as a surprise to you?
- It was a surprise.
- What were the first words and emotions when you found out that you was #1? Did you manage to share this news with someone?
- Of course I was delighted! The emotions were positive. I have not shared this news with anyone for now, but I will, later.
- Yuri Genrikhovich, what do you think of the terms and conditions of the Battle held by NPBFX?
- They are the best!
- In March, you were able to increase your initial deposit of $5000 by 13 times (up to $65,000)! At the same time, all 15 trades were closed in profit. Please tell us what is the essence of your trading strategy?
- This is the Elliott Wave Theory analysis, I don't use indicators at all. Just the wave analysis.
- Your trading portfolio includes only one trading instrument – USD/JPY currency pair. Why did you choose the yen?
- It's just the most comfortable for me. Although I work with Swiss franc, but yen, I suppose, is more flexible.
- Would you like to try trading other instruments that are available with NPBFX, in particular, stocks, indices, oil, gas, cryptocurrencies?
- I trade with them for myself, but I use indices. It's just that there are no historical charts for these tools, which is essential for trading to have previous statistical data on currency pairs. These data can be monthly, annual – somehow it turns out easier to deal with.
- The most profitable transaction in the Battle brought you over $9,700 in profit. Its trading volume was 18 lots. The statement of your contest account displays trades with a larger trading volume – 40 and 50 lots each! Tell me, for the market prognosis, you used only wave analysis or, perhaps, fundamental analysis?
- I used the fundamental one to get a clue on price changes, in which direction – only using the wave analysis.
- During the Battle, did you open positions through the desktop version of MT4 or through a smartphone (tablet) using NPBFX mobile terminal?
- Yes, both a tablet and a computer. I use a full range of devices.
- How can you evaluate the trading conditions at NPBFX?
- The best.
- Did you manage to get acquainted with the Analytical Portal, which is available in the Personal Office?
- Not yet, I haven't checked yet.
- How often did you refer to monitoring the accounts of all participants during the Battle? How useful was the monitoring?
- Yes, I did. Monitoring motivated to exit, to stop trading when already a certain position is taken to avoid the risks.
- $1000 has already been credited to your real trading account at NPBFX. Are you planning to continue the same trading on it as on a demo account in the Battle?
- Yes, I have a wave analysis.
- Recently, the global economy has shown a tendency of recovery after lockdowns due to COVID. Does it somehow affect Forex market, in your opinion?
- The fact that dollar will fall was predicted decades ago based only on wave analysis, so economic indicators do not play a crucial role.
- Yuri Genrikhovich, tell us a little about your professional path: what brought you to Forex – was it a chance or a deliberate choice? How long have you been trading Forex?
- For about ten years. I have just accidentally seen a book about wave analysis and became interested in this issue.
- Perhaps you attended some trainings or studied trading on your own?
- Independently. There was technical analysis, and that’s it, but I just couldn't do much with technical analysis.
- Which traits should a trader have in order to become a professional and achieve financial success?
- Do not be afraid to trade, take risks. Be more daring and less greedy.
- What do you do besides trading, what is your profession?
- I am a lawyer.
- Please tell me, what country are you from, where do you live? How old are you, are you a family man?
- Yes, I am a family man. I am 60 years old, now I am in Belarus.
- How popular is Forex trading in the Republic of Belarus, in your opinion?
- As elsewhere, as in Russia – in Belarus it is the same. By the way, I already registered in partnership program and placed your banner with the link on my webpage completely devoted to wave analysis.
- Yuri Genrikhovich, would you advise your friends and acquaintances to join the Battle of Traders? Why?
- I would advise, of course, why not.
- It turns out that you communicate with people who trade, right?
- Sure.
- What would you like to wish NPBFX and the participants of the next Battle of Traders?
- To devote more time to advertising, as it were, to promote Forex, because this is the business of the future.
- Yuri Genrikhovich, thank you for participating in the interview. We wish you new victories and achievements in the financial markets! And let your NPBFX real account trading be even more successful than your contest account in March!
