Greg McLeod: Forex Scalping For a Living // EP26

There seem to be few traders who are good at scalping Forex. But they are out there. I sit down with Greg McLeod and find out how he does it.

A lot of people will tell you that scalping Forex successfully is simply not possible.

Greg McLeod would beg to differ.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Greg to find out how he scalps successfully, who his biggest mentors were and get into some of the “behind the scenes” stuff that has shaped him into the trader that he is today.

Speaking of mentors, Greg has been taught by some of the best traders and trading coaches…ever.

He grew up in South Central Los Angeles and later also taught public school in the area. If you are not familiar with that part of the United States, it is one of the roughest areas in the country and teaching public school there is no easy task.

…and that is probably a big understatement.

But Greg found ways to get students interested in learning, through trading…which is really cool.
