"Never give up," - Roman Marchenko, director of the Moscow office of FOREX MMCIS group

- Hello! Introduce yourself, please. How did it happen that you got acquainted with stock trading?

- Good afternoon. My name is Roman Marchenko, I am the Director of the Moscow representative office of FOREX MMCIS group. My acquaintance with foreign exchange market I started trading in the already distant year of 1998. Immediately after graduation I got a job as a financial analyst, and a year later I started trading on my own. Of course there were difficulties, but I was constantly working on myself. As a result - rapid career growth, and today I am at the head of the Russian branch of one of the world's leading brokers.

- Exchange trading is becoming more and more part of our lives - many people know about or are holders of certain securities. In your opinion, why has speculation become popular now in Russia and other CIS countries?

- The appeal of working on the currency market is easy to explain - it is a really lucrative occupation. In the West and in the USA, trading has long ago taken a place in the rating of the most popular professions. And since business is increasingly moving to the Internet and it is possible to trade in a reputable company without even leaving home, CIS traders began to actively join this international trend. In fact, trading on the Internet is a personal business that does not require serious investments and a stationary workplace. You will agree that many people dream of such a job.

- Which exchanges are of interest to you and why?

- I think you will not be surprised if I answer that I am a supporter of the foreign exchange market. It really has more advantages compared to, for example, stock exchanges. Firstly, round-the-clock work of the currency market allows currency trader to choose his own employment schedule. Secondly, the high liquidity market . Just think, the daily money turnover is about 4 trillion U.S. dollars.

- What do you dislike about the structure of exchange or OTC trading or what would you like to change?

- When I took my first steps in trading, I wanted to try everything at once. But at that time it was almost unrealistic - the set of trading instruments at many brokers was very limited. Now this problem has been solved. In particular, our company's clients can choose from over 100 trading instruments.

of the effort involved.

- What qualities should a trader have in order to become a professional?

I think that the most necessary qualities are persistence, diligence, patience and endurance. At least, it is thanks to them that I achieved success.

- Many people think that trading on the exchange market is either a frivolous business or a fraud. What do you have to say about it?

- This is often said by those who have not experienced trading on the stock exchange themselves, or by those who have unsuccessful experience of such activities. Quite often people lose money because of their inattention or inexperience, so they think that they have been cheated. - This is not a casino, but a serious financial mechanism. Look at the Forbes rating - the names of world-famous traders are also there.

- What is the most basic mistake you think traders make most often?

- The main mistake is an unwillingness to limit oneself. Let me explain: after working on a demo account, where not only profits but also losses are expressed in virtual money, traders are often infected with self-confidence and forget to set stop-losses and stop-losses on real accounts. Take Profit. And it still needs to be done.

- Why traders should work with your company?

- The answer is obvious. After all, it is we who offer the most favorable working conditions. As I have already mentioned, more than 100 trading instruments, as well as round-the-clock support service, unprecedented bonus program, contests and promotions - everything is for our clients. Most importantly, we never rest on our laurels and are constantly working on improving the quality of our services!

- Surely during your work in a dealing center (broker) you have had funny situations with clients. Without naming names, could you share one with us?

- Of course, every company has its own collection of funny situations. I don't think every client would want to tell the whole world about them. So let it remain our secret.

- What would you advise newcomers to the exchange?

- My advice - never give up! The currency market must be conquered. Practice, practice your strategy, look for new approaches and you will succeed! Have a good trading!
