New Year is a great time for learning. Grand Capital continues its educational activities and will hold a free seminar in Lusaka, Zambia, on January 12th–13th. The event will be themed “Steady income from currency and stock trading: myth or reality”.

The seminar attendees will have a chance to hear lectures of Mr. Charles Mfula (Zambia) and Goutam Das (investment advisor at Grand Capital), where they will talk about how the Forex market works, reveal insights into its various aspects and share their secrets of making profit. Also, they will talk about stocks, what advantages they have for their holders, and answer a question that’s been bothering traders for a long time: Forex or stocks: which one is better for trading?

You’ll learn:

• how to receive stable monthly income working from home;
• what instruments and strategies are best for currency trading;
• what is more profitable: currencies or stocks trading.

The event will take place from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM on January 12th and 13th, 2019 at Matero Level 1 Hospital, Old MCH conference hall, Matero, Lusaka.

New services and better trading conditions

Customers are getting more and more demanding about trading products and services with each year. We closely monitor the sentiment among traders, and that’s why, in response to the growing demand, we have launched MetaTrader 5. Now clients of Grand Capital can trade using the already familiar MT4, or switch to the next-gen trading terminal MT5.

Along with the introduction of MT5, we also implemented a variety of improvements concerning MT4: for instance, the new liquidity provision technology allowed us to reduce spreads by 10%.

To enhance our clients’ experience even further, we have launched Crypto account, allowed trading Forex instruments on accounts denominated in mBTC and mETH and to deposit/withdraw funds in Ethereum and Bitcoin with minimum commission charges.

New horizons

In 2018, Grand Capital continued to provide financial education in Africa, Asia and the Pacific region. In total, we organized over 30 seminars. In February, over 300 traders attended our seminar “Truth vs. Myth about Trading” in Klerksdorp, the largest city in North West Province of South Africa. In August, large-scale seminars were held in Myanmar and Indonesia. Later in the year, we came with educational seminars to three cities in Namibia: Windhoek, Walvis Bay and Ongwediva. Our year in education concluded with seminars in Botswana and Nigeria this December.

New achievements

The highly praised quality of services provided by Grand Capital was recognized by the Financial Commission. The independent international Forex regulatory body has upgraded our company’s membership status to Category A. This means that clients of Grand Capital are now eligible for larger compensations and faster processing of claims.

For the second year in a row, our company won the “Best Affiliate Program” award on the trading website FxDailyInfo. The results were determined by online vote.

Plans

2019 will be the year of better services and improved trading conditions. Among the novelties to be introduced next year are a new copy trading service RAMM, a mobile app for Forex trading and a number of upgrades for binary options.
