  1. In my view opportunities are always rare, so we must take them on, it should not matter what the cost is, but a good opportunity should always be there to be taken for us. I am doing trading and in here, I never miss out on any opportunity which is further boosted by OctaFX broker with their livewire facilities that includes 50% bonus on deposit which too is absolutely use able, so that’s why it is so cool to use for new comers.
