Success story: InstaForex client increases his deposit tenfold from $1,500 just in two weeks

We are delighted to share another success story of our InstaForex client, the same trader as you are. Today we are going to tell you about Sergey Fevralyov, who managed to increase his initial deposit tenfold from $1,500 just in two weeks.

We have to admit that success did not come to Sergey overnight. He earned his luck through patience and hard work. Sergey says he has been trading on Forex since 2008 and joined the ranks of InstaForex traders in 2009, staying with us up to the present moment. “I started trading in 2008, when the market in Russia was evolving rapidly. After almost a year of trading with my first broker, I was disappointed with a number of conditions and left. I left for InstaForex," Sergey confides.

Actually, a tenfold built-up to the deposit is not the first time when Sergey succeeded in the currency market with InstaForex. Through 8 years of working in Forex, Sergey Fevralyov purchased a car for the money he earned from trading and now keeps on adding to his deposit and makes profit. He also regularly becomes winner and runner-up in various campaigns prepared by InstaForex. Sergey did not win a premium car, though he reached the top positions of the Real Scalping chart several times. Followers of the contest digest must remember his name re-appearing among the winners.

Sergey's latest achievement is an enormous success and demands a fair amount of luck because it is not that easy to boost the initial deposit in five or even ten times. Meanwhile, Sergey Fevralyov continues to make steady profits and increases trade volumes, being one of the most outstanding traders in Russia. It will be enough to mention that he holds an account with $45,000 involved in trades. Sergey reveals a serious approach to currency trading where the key to success lies in patience and experience. What is more, he is a striking example of a successful forex trader who has such traits as will and determination to make decent money.

“What I liked about InstaForex is their attention to my needs. I can always settle any issue with the team. It has been exciting to take part in contests. I even ranked high in them. I am also attracted by bonuses on every deposit. In order to make money in the forex market, you have to pursue your strategy and don't give up if you incur losses," Sergey Fevralyov comments on his experience.

We wish Sergey profitable trading with InstaForex! And we hope you, dear traders, have the same success stories with even bigger profits.
