They are ready to face a challenge and contend for the title of the best option trader. Trader from India Praveen Kumar Lath showed the most impressive score in the latest stage. Please be aware that the next round of the One Million Option tournament is just around the corner - from February 19, 2018 until February 23, 2018.

Daria Kasatkina: hard way to top 10



For over 30 years, a small US town of Indian Wells with population of just 5,000 people turns into a tennis hub where all sports celebrities gather every March.

The grand Indian Wells Masters tournament, that took place on March 7-18 this year, has the Premier Mandatory status. Such status is considered to be the most prestigious after the Grand Slam and the Final tournament of the year.

For our company, the Indian Wells Masters 2018 is a particularly important event as Daria Kasatkina, the brilliant young tennis player and brand ambassador for InstaForex, took part at the tournament.

We expected some great results from Daria, as she managed to beat four top-10 tennis players in the past few months. However, we could not even imagine that she would demonstrate such tremendous performance. Daria has defeated three top-15 tennis players in a row, paving the way for the semi-final where she competed with Venus Williams, the legend of the world tennis and holder of 49 titles in the singles category.

The US athlete, being almost two times older, more experienced and rated higher than Daria, was obviously determined to win the game. The competition was really tough and exciting. As a result, Kasatkina secured a victory with the score of 4:6, 6:4, 7:5. Thus, she qualified for the final of Indian Wells Masters 2018.

The tournaments' final caused a sensation, as it featured two young and ambitions sports talents. We have said a lot about Daria's achievements, and as for her opponent, 20-years old Japanese Naomi Osaka showed her potential in the very first game of the tournament beating the tennis star Maria Sharapova.

Interestingly, two days before the tournament, Daria posted a video where she teaches Naomi how to hit a tweener, one of the most spectacular and difficult tennis shots. Daria's ability to strike tweeners has already impressed the global sports community.

Having qualified to the final of Indian Wells Masters 2018, Daria has earned the 11th place in the WTA rating which means that she is world No. 11 in tennis and the top seed of Russia. In case of victory in the final, Daria would have made it into the top 10, reaching the 9th place.

However Osaka secured a victory in straight sets: 6:3, 6:2. Nevertheless, we are sure that Kasatkina's spirit is strong enough to withstand this failure and to the contrary, it will give her confidence and strength for grand victories in the future. Meanwhile, qualifying for the Indian Wells Masters final is a great achievement that has already etched the name of Daria Kasatkina into the history of the world tennis. There are a lot of tournaments ahead, and we sincerely wish Daria sparkling and undoubted wins!

Spectacular way: Liverpool in Champions League semi-final!

On April 10, the InstaForex team was watching the quarter-finals of the Champions League with bated breath. An official partner of the company, the legendary English Liverpool Football Club, won a hard-fought battle in an away match against Manchester City and reached the semi-final of the most prestigious European club tournament.

According to the draw of UEFA, the opponent of the Reds in the semi-final would be Italy's AS Roma that downed Barcelona in a home match with a score of 3-0. But Liverpool beat Manchester City at Anfield with exactly the same score, leaving little chance for the Citizens to enter the next stage.

Needless to say, both opponents are extremely strong and serious about winning. Roma got into the final of the Champions League only once in far 1984 (at that time, the tournament was called the European Champions Cup). Liverpool is a five-time winner of the Champions League, and the team of Jurgen Klopp certainly won't refuse to compete for the championship in the tournament finals this year.

This means we are in for a hot semifinal, the first part of which we will see already on April 24, when the Reds receive Roma at Anfield. InstaForex sincerely wishes good luck to the coaches and players of both teams. Eventually, let the best win. And we hope Liverpool will become the strongest.

Liverpool FC: Mohamed Salah’s spring records



This spring has brought two stunning records to the legendary Liverpool FC, InstaForex official partner. And these achievements were made by one person – Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah.

Currently, the Egyptian is one of the top scorers in the Premier League. He also has become the first African to score 30 goals in a single EPL season.

His most outstanding achievement got him in the LFC history and in the history of the English football in general. After scoring 6 goals in the March games, he was named the best player of the month. This way, Salah has become the first player in the Premiership to be named the best player of the month three times in one season.

If Mo Salah continues to demonstrate brilliant performance in the remaining 4 games of this season, Liverpool fans will witness more amazing records. In a mere month, we will see if the Egyptian will be able to become the top scorer of the EPL and fight for the Golden Boot.

The team's leader Aleš Loprais together with his crew that included Ferran Marco Alcayna and Petr Pokora came first in both the truck category and the overall standings of the African rally in Morocco.

The race in the truck category was the toughest one. Eight stages, thirty three trucks and almost 2,500 kilometers stood between the team and the finish line. Nevertheless, InstaForex Loprais Team withstood this challenge and won with a 23-minute lead over the silver winners.

"This race is a part of our Dakar 2019 mission and it's really nice to win like this. It was a very difficult African adventure, but a successful one, a golden one. I'd like to say thank you to the guys in the cabin, to our mechanics and also all our partners for their support," Aleš Loprais said after the finish. The crew solved technical problems successfully. They even managed to deal with three tire punctures that occurred during the second stage. Thus, the team consolidated its lead in the overall standings with the result of 31:02:08 hours.

“Punctures are just part of this difficult competition. I can't wait for the next challenge," Petr Pokora added.

Good news from Liverpool FC

The news was prepared within the framework of the official cooperation of InstaForex with Liverpool Football Club.

The final match for Liverpool in the Premier League season, in which Reds hosted Brighton, was to answer two questions at once.

The first question whether Jürgen Klopp's squad would qualify for the Champions League was resolved without Reds' direct participation. Chelsea's bruising defeat to Newcastle ended its faint hopes to snatch a place in the Premier League's top four.

It was equally important for Kopites to find out whether Liverpool ace, Mohamed Salah, would break a long-standing record of 31 goals shared by Alan Shearer, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Luis Suarez in a 38-game Premier League.

The answer came at the 26th minute, when the Egypt star lashed a left-footed shot to the bottom right corner of the Brighton net, moving onto 32 goals for the season. The new scoring record made Salah win Premier League Golden Boot. Teammates backed his initiative and hammered Brighton 4-0.

Liverpool will now face Real Madrid in UEFA Champions League final on May 26 in Kiev. On such a positive note, Liverpool cannot but win the upcoming final for the most prestigious competition in European club football, returning the trophy after a thirteen-year break. As an official partner, InstaForex wishes good luck to its favorite team.

HKm Zvolen lacks 2 points to become the leader of the season



The season of the hockey championship in Slovakia came to the end. The partner of the company HKm Zvolen took the second place in the regular championship, being some two points away from leading.

During the extraleague, Zvolen knights were fighting as hard as they could. As a result, they entered the playoffs and reached the semi-finals. In a dramatic fight on the ice, our players took a back seat, but showed some muscle and offered worthy resistance to the Dukla Trencin team. The score was two to four in favor of the opponent.

In general, hockey players have created quite a lot of tense situations, unsettling their rivals. One of the strong points in the 2017-2018 season was the attack, the players masterfully put the biscuit in the opponent's basket. The best goal scorer of the Slovakian extraleague was a forward of Zvolen, Timothy Coffman. There are 33 pucks on his account.

Now the athletes of HKm Zvolen are taking a break to gain strength and train. So we are looking forward to their victorious results in the next season. We, in our turn, continue to support an active way of life and a desire for victory, providing sponsorship to promising young teams. Following the results of the season, the club on behalf of the management and the hockey team thanked InstaForex for the long-standing support and contribution to the club's development, awarding the company with a certificate of gratitude.

Daria Kasatkina makes the quarter-final at Wimbledon



The highest rated Russian tennis player and the brand ambassador for InstaForex Daria Kasatkina for the first time in her life entered the last 8 of Wimbledon. This is the second quarter-final in the row in the Grand Slam tournaments for the young Russian - in May-June 2018 Kasatkina confidently reached the quarter-final of the no less legendary Roland Garros.

This time Kasatkina lost the first set to a strong Belgian Alison Van Uytvanck 6:7 but then took a game in her hands. The final result 6:7, 6:3, 6:2 demonstrated convincing victory of Daria. In the quarter-final Daria will play against the Wimbledon finalist of 2016 - Angelique Kerber from Germany. At the moment Daria played six games against the German and the result is equal so far: 3-3. Kasatkina was stronger at Indian-Wells-2018 but lost at the decisive tie- break during their last game at Eastbourne tournament.

It's definitely going to be a great game to watch, but there will be only one winner. InstaForex believes that Daria can win and enter the last 4 of probably the most prestigious tournament of the World.
