With a last name like Ninja, I decided long ago to specialize in espionage. And with my first name being Forex, you guessed it, my other pasison was, well, anything and everything forex. Naturally, I decided to combine my two loves into one, "spying" on the forex industry (and telling you about my findings on this blog, Espipionage). This blog is dedicated to giving traders the inside scoop on developments in the forex industry, such as changing broker regulations and new forex products and companies. I also profile existing companies that are making an impact in the forex world all for your benefit. Set your night vision goggles ON. It's Spy Time!
Congratulations, BabyPips.com peeps! The first month of our You Trade, We Aid campaign was a success, all thanks to you!
For those of you who are just reading about it, the "You Trade, We Aid" campaign is BabyPips.com's way of helping forex fanatics lend a hand to our less fortunate neighbors.
BabyPips.com is giving the charity of the month $1 for every entry submitted to the Trade of the Week (ToTW) and Best Forex Trading System (BFTS) contests. Meanwhile, the winners get to choose a charity they could give additional help to. ToTW winners get $10, while BFTS winners get to donate $50. I'm happy to report that we've gathered a hefty amount for donations, thanks to all those who submitted entries and voted in our contests!
We've donated $24 to our charity of the month, World Vision, after we received 19 entries from the ToTW contests and 5 submissions for March's BFTS contest.
| Week | Winner | Charity | Donation | 1 | mnukf | (not yet specified) | - |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | Jabroni | World Vision | $10 |
| 3 | Pip Devil | (not yet specified) | - |
| 4 | littlebopip | (not yet specified) | - |
| Total donations given | $10 |
Jabroni, our ToTW winner for the second week of March, also picked World Vision. This means that the charity dedicated to the development and education of children will get a total of $34 this month! We'll give the other three winners (shout out to mnukf, Pip Devil, and littlebopip!) until the end of this week to choose their charities. If we don't hear from them soon, we'll just add another $30 donation to World Vision.
But wait, it doesn't end there! Sufiansaid, who just won Robopip's Best Forex Trading System contest for March will also get to pick which among our list of charities he/she wants to donate $50 to.
Aaaah, sharing your blessings just feels oh-so-right, doesn't it? So who's ready to see BabyPips.com kick off the second month of the You Trade, We Aid campaign??
Greenpeace will take World Vision's place as the charity of the month for April. Remember, each entry will correspond to a $1 donation to this independent, non-profit, tax-exempt organization aimed at increasing public awareness and understanding of environmental issues. Meanwhile, ToTW and BFTS winners will still get the advantage of choosing which charities to donate to. Just take a look at our Golden List of Charities!
Keep those submissions coming and spread the love, ayt?
