In 2016 Grand Capital received ISO certificate, which means that Grand Capital management system meets the requirements of the international standard (ISO 9001-2011).

It’s great news for everyone at Grand Capital.  We put together this 101 on the subject: what is ISO, why ISO standards are important for the company, and on top of all that, how it benefits our clients.

What is an ISO standard?

ISO stands for International Organization for Standardization. The organization was founded in 1946 and since that time has been engaged in developing and issuing international standards for various fields. The company’s name is a reference to a Greek word “isos”, meaning “equal” and is recognized in every language. Thus, the name perfectly reflects the idea of ISO: equal conditions and equal international standards.

ISO standard is a document that specifies the requirements for products, procedures and services. Certified organizations examine a certain company in accordance with ISO standards and issue a corresponding certificate. ISO standards are constantly being edited and updated.

Why is it important for the company?

ISO international standards provide tools for development. They help companies to enter new markets, increase sales, win clients’ loyalty and improve their production system.

Grand Capital received ISO certificate that is applicable to such fields as advisory services, auditing, design, development, implementing, testing and maintenance of software, automated information systems, robotic systems, system solutions, business applications.

How it benefits our clients?

ISO certificate is not mandatory, but it’s a kind of benchmark of quality for companies. The presence of the certificate guarantees that the company provides reliable and safe services that meet the international standards.

Grand Capital cares about quality of the services it provides. We hope that our clients will continue to enjoy our products and services.

Grand Capital team.

Dear clients,

We would like to inform you that during 2015-2016 winter holiday period the following changes in deposit and withdrawal processing schedule will take place:

We regularly hold trading contests and interview our winners. However, since Grand Capital has many contests and many winners, we decided to change the format of this news section. We value the substantively of information most of all. That’s why from now on we are going to gather several reviews of our winners in a single newsletter. Traders share their impressions of the past contest rounds and tell about profitable strategies, and we sum up the most interesting moments.

We present to you the feedback of our recent winners. Today we have two “Drag Trade” winners, one “Rally Trade” winner and a “Futures Trade” winner.

Denis Bulatov, Russia, the winner of 340th round of “Drag Trade”:

I became a trader by accident. About five years ago, I saw a Forex commercial and decided to give it a try. I learned trading on the web: downloaded video lessons and visited forums. I didn’t meet any particular difficulties while learning. The most important thing is patience, the rest will come. The most unsuccessful trade happened when I was a beginner. Then I learned what gap for $1500 after the weekend is. I didn’t close my positions on Friday, and on Monday I was shocked. Long story short, I learned my lesson the hard way. So here goes my advice for the beginners: do not leave opened positions for a weekend. I prefer trading with USD/ZAR (South African rand) pair in contests, but I don’t use it on my real account. I chose Grand Capital primarily for the diversity of contest. I love competition, when it doesn’t drain my wallet. Luck and a little of experience helped me win. I wish everyone successful trading!

Didik Dharmadie, Indonesia, the winner of 180th round of “Rally Trade”:

 I’m 32 and I live in Bengkulu City, I work in telecommunications industry. First time I heard about Forex from my friend. Almost everything I know about trading, I learned from him. Forex is quite popular in Indonesia, especially in my city. Many private companies offer brokerage services here. In trading, I use trend lines and fundamental analysis. The only problem is that sometimes it’s difficult to cope with your emotions after lost trades. My most memorable trade was when GBP plummeted and couldn’t recover for several months. “Rally Trade” contest helps polish your trading strategies, including intraday trading. The prize is a pleasant addition, of course. My advice to beginners is not to give up after losses and difficulties. Keep practicing and you’ll learn to control your losses with time. Also, master money-management techniques, they’ll help you manage your risks!

Andriy Neznayko, Ukraine, the winner of 45th round of “Futures Trade”:

I don’t have a lot of experience in trading. I’ve been trading for a little over half a year.  Once I saw my acquaintance earn 11 USD in 10 minutes on Forex. Now I understand that it’s bare minimum, but then it impressed me. I watched a half an hour film about Forex, grasped the key-note (buy for less, sell for more), learned the terms, talked to people on forums. So, I decided for myself that was possible. My strategy is simple: move with the trend. It’s no surprise they say “Trend is our friend”. As a beginner, I often approached customer support. Grand Capital experts always helped me and answered all my questions. I like the diversity of contests that Grand Capital offers. Having read the interviews with the winners I realized that people actually participate and win. And I said to myself “Why not me?”. Guys, what I’m saying is, learn, try, listen to your experienced colleagues. But draw your own conclusions!

Mehmat Seylan, Turkey, the winner of 342nd round of “Drag Trade”: 

I’m a student and don’t work yet.  I started trading because I wanted stable extra income. In Turkey Forex is quite popular, but at the same time is over-regulated. For example, maximum leverage offered by local brokers is 1:50. I learned to trade on my own. Started with Internet articles, then read more serious books. Nothing brings my such pleasure like a profitable trade. In trading I follow the market trend and use several moving averages for determining the current situation on the market. The entry and exit points I get using Fibonacci retracement. Usually I trade with GBP/JPY, GBP/CAD, AUD/JPY, XAU/USD pairs, but on my demo account I try other instruments. The contests help polish your skills, and in case of victory — bring money. What I want to say to beginners, is learn more and keep trading, until you find your own method.
