Two activities: One mindset As proud title sponsor of the Tour, Alpari decided to bring the competition from the water to the shore and challenge the skippers to a new contest – conquering the Forex markets. Back in July the Alpari Skipper Trading Challenge pitched the nine tour card holding skippers competing in the AWMRT against each other in a new activity: navigating the Forex markets. The skippers needed to draw upon all of their existing strategy skills to spot the opportunities and come out on top. And the winner is... Simone Ferrarese of Italy knocked all competition out of the water and took the winner’s title in the final 24 hours of the competition with some very inspiring deadline day trades. Having a fantastic strategy, he started with smaller trades as he got to know the MetaTrader 4 platform and learnt about the markets, before gradually increasing his trade size as he became more confident. His plan worked perfectly and his trading statistics would put many professional traders to shame. The grand finale of the Alpari Skipper Trading Challenge took place in Marseille, at Match Race France, on 26 September. After calculating the profits – and losses – Simone was crowned champion in a rather interesting way. By dressing as both trader and sailor, Simone demonstrated the many parallels between the activities – and Forex trading is indeed very similar to sailing. In both you have to spot the opportunity to get ahead in the game, calculate risk and then react with lightning speed to see the move through.
