The third season of the unique beauty contest Miss Insta Asia has started recently getting more and more interesting with each stage. Traders close their terminals more often to open the contest home page. Every day we can see new beautiful participants and more photos.  The enormous amount of comments points at the unbelievable activity of fans. In the last month of 2011 we had the interview with one of the leaders of our contest’s open voting. This girl represents the Northern Capital of Russia – St. Petersburg. Please welcome Darya Shlykova.

IFX: Hello Dariya. First of all, we would like to thank you for your attention to our contest and your participation in it! The first question is very common – why did you register for Miss Insta Asia contest and was it the first experience for you?
DS: It was my husband who advised me to take part in the contest. For me it was for the first time.

IFX: How did your friends react when they had learned that you were going to participate in the beauty contest?
DS: They wished me luck.

IFX: Let us talk about Forex. What was your first acquaintance with currency trading and why did you decide to trade? What are the main advantages of Forex trading to your mind?
DS: Accidentally I saw the advertisement in the Internet and I got curious. Firstly, you have to make decisions yourself, secondly, there is no such a concept as “working day” and, finally, this is very exciting.

IFX: Do you think there are some specific qualities of women that could help them to be more successful on Forex than men?
DS: I think that there is no difference whether you are a man or a woman. The personal qualities, self-discipline and appetite for learning are the key factors.

IFX: What is your main difficulty in trading and how do you manage it?
DS: There is a saying: “Cut the losses let your profit grow”. Unfortunately, we cannot always follow this simple rule.

IFX: In your questionnaire you said that you like football. Some might say that Forex and football are not for women. Do you have any objections?
DS: Well, many men, many minds. I think that you should not divide interests between men and women. As to football, I like it so much for its energetic and excitement.

IFX: There are some quite old-fashioned films in the list of your favorites; you say that you like classical music; Dostoyevsky and Conan Doyle can hardly be named our contemporaries as well. Do you also follow such conservative strategies in trading or do you like experiments?
DS: I think I like experiments.

IFX: What is Forex for you? Is it a place where you can gain money or is it a hobby?
DS: A hobby.

IFX: Why would you like to go back in 1935? Why are you so interested in this period?
DS: 30-es were the turning point for our country: new ideals emerged; some concrete objectives were defined leading us towards the “happy future”. People believed that everything is possible.

IFX: Do you always follow the changes in rating? What can you say about other participants? Do you think someone deserves the victory more than others?
DS: No, not very often. It is quite difficult to give a preference to one as a lot of worthy and interesting girls take part in the contest.

IFX: You said that you wish to bring up at least 3 children. So the family life is more important for you than contests, charts, orders, etc.?
DS: Yes, surely home, kindness and the support from your nearest and dearest are much more important than any success. What are all our achievements for if there is no one to share with?

IFX: Do you feel tired from men’s attention? I’m sure that you are always chased by smiles and interested looks?
DS: Thank you but I do not pay any attention to it, I am absolutely happy in my life!

IFX: Many think that December is a magic month. Do you feel content that you were acknowledged Miss December? Do you think that it will help you in final voting? Or would you like your victory to be associated with a summer month?
DS: I am quite content though I like summer very much. But it seems to me that December is a magic time and everyone would like to believe in miracle.

IFX: What would you like to tell our readers for goodbye?
DS: I wish love and prosperity to everyone.

FX: Darya, we thank you for such interesting answers and wish you success in 2012!
