Greg McLeod: Forex Scalping For a Living // EP26
The Trading Lifestyle Podcast: Trading Heroes Forex Trading Blog | Pro Trader Interviews
07/19/16 • 47 min
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.
We have a very down-to-earth talk about some of his greatest achievements, what drives him as a trader and some of the most painful moments on his trading journey.
I hope that you enjoy listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed doing it!
In This Episode
- His huge early win in Yahoo
- The personality trait that makes him good at scalping Forex
- The stocks that his public school students bought (and made money on)
- Why he's always looking for “the party”
- The lowest moment in his trading career
- How talking to dudes in the bathroom might be good for your trading career
- Why the idea of bulls and bears is a misconception
- And more!

Behind the Scenes Look at Starting an ECN Forex Broker in Sweden with Arif Alexander Ahmad // EP29
The Trading Lifestyle Podcast: Trading Heroes Forex Trading Blog | Pro Trader Interviews
04/18/19 • 33 min
Running a Forex brokerage is a really tough business.
Oh the stories I've heard....
So why would anyone want to start one?
In this episode, I sat down with Arif Ahmad, co-founder of Scandinavian Capital Markets (SCM), a ECN broker in Stockholm Sweden. As it turns out, Arif had good reasons to get into the brokerage business.
As money managers, they were tired of getting pushed around by shady FX brokers. They figured that they only way to get good service was to provide it themselves.
That is how SCM was born.
They are based in Stockholm, Sweden and as it turns out, there are several advantages to having a brokerage there. With many countries reducing Forex trading leverage to 30:1 or lower, it is becoming harder to find brokers that will support more highly leveraged trading.
Obviously, leverage is a double-edged sword and not for the beginner. But I personally believe that traders should still have the option to be able to access higher leverage.
Having a broker in Sweden gives traders the advantage of still being able to access 100:1 leverage, in a country with a stable banking environment and a reasonable amount of regulation.
The alternative is usually to go to places that are havens for dodgy offshore brokers like Cyprus or Malta, which are like the Wild West, when it comes to regulation.
As I've mentioned before, the best broker for you will depend on where you live, how you trade and what you value in a broker. So always do your own due diligence when choosing a broker.
Even if you aren't looking for a new broker, this interview is an inspiring look at the entrepreneurial journey of two guys who saw an opportunity to create a better product and are working hard to make that happen.
I hope you enjoy listening to this interview as much as I enjoyed doing it.
Note: Since they are based outside of the US, they cannot accept US clients...per US laws.
In This Episode
- How Arif got screwed over by Forex brokers as a money manager
- Why Sweden is a great place to have a Forex brokerage
- What led to the formation of Scandinavian Capital Markets (SCM)
- The cultural changes that SCM wants to create in the Forex world
- And more!

EP22 // Andrew Mitchem’s Odd Journey to Becoming a Successful Forex Trader
The Trading Lifestyle Podcast: Trading Heroes Forex Trading Blog | Pro Trader Interviews
08/25/15 • 28 min
You will never guess what Andrew Mitchem was doing before he became a successful Forex trader. I have heard about a lot of unusual pre-trading professions before, but Andrew's is the best, by far.
One of the biggest things that I hope you have learn from all of these interviews is that you don't need to have any experience in the financial markets to become a professional Forex trader. In Andrew's case, you don't have to read that many trading books either.
Take a guess as to how many trading books he has read.
Talking to traders is always really interesting. After the formal interview, Andrew and I were chatting for a bit and he told me that he and his family were in San Francisco recently.
OK, pretty cool...SF is one of the best places to be. Of course, I'm a little biased. But a regular vacation isn't enough for the average trader.
You see, Andrew has a license...to fly a helicopter. He actually has a helicopter at home in New Zealand.
So he rented a helicopter in SF and flew under the Golden Gate Bridge! How awesome is that?!
Most people settle for a picture in front of the bridge. Ha!
I hope that he doesn't mind me sharing that story, but it really goes to show you what is possible when you put in a lot of hard work.
Enjoy!
In This Episode
- What attracted Andrew to FX trading so much in the first place
- How long it took him to learn to trade profitably
- Why he trades long term charts
- How many basic trading setups he uses
- Custom Forex trader software that Andrew uses for MT4
- And more!

Taking Backtesting Software to the Next Level: NakedMarkets // EP30
The Trading Lifestyle Podcast: Trading Heroes Forex Trading Blog | Pro Trader Interviews
05/12/22 • 38 min
?
When you buy something through one of the links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.In This Episode:
- Why this trader created his own backtesting software
- Where he learned to trade and the timeframes he trades on
- The website where he shares some of his trading strategies and track record
- How to create drag-n-drop entries and exits WITHOUT coding
- Manual backtesting demo and how his software speeds up the process
- Demonstration of creating and testing automated strategies
- Free historical data from multiple brokers
- How this software could easily replace your trading journal
- And more!
There's a big difference between software that's created by someone who trades and someone who doesn't. This is one example.
I met Denis at The Truth About FX conference in 2017. At the time, he was trading full-time and providing trading signals.
I talked to him a bit on the train ride back from central London.
In talking to him, I found out that he is Beta Trader. It's always cool to meet people behind trading sites. I didn't keep in touch with him after that.
Then a few months ago, I got a message from him via Walter's forum, asking me if I wanted to test his new software called NakedMarkets.
I'm always open to testing software from people I know, so I volunteered to be a tester. We are both students of Walter.
As soon as I read through the documentation, I knew that he had something special.
There are features that I haven't seen in backtesting software under $500, and some features that I haven't seen anywhere.
What I like most about his software is that it is very modular.
So you can create small components, like entry and exit rules. Then you can simply drag and drop those rules on your chart to speed up manual backtesting.
Or you can use those components to build fully automated or semi-automated trading strategies.
One thing that I've been looking for is an easy way to automatically download trades from Oanda and analyze the performance of the account. I thought that a trading journal was the solution.
But I asked Denis if it was possible to do it in NakedMarkets and he implemented it in just a few days.
Amazing!
So NakedMarkets can also be used to analyze live trading performance.
Anyway, there's nothing like seeing the software in action. So watch the video find out more about Denis and how the software works.
You can get a special Trading Heroes discount on NakedMarkets on this page.

EP6 // How Colin Jessup Went From Warehouse Worker to Professional Fund Manager
The Trading Lifestyle Podcast: Trading Heroes Forex Trading Blog | Pro Trader Interviews
07/17/12 • 22 min
Welcome to this episode of The Trading Lifestyle Podcast. In this episode, I sat down with Colin Jessup and found out exactly how he went from working in a warehouse to trading Forex for a living.
But that's not all, he has also become a trading mentor and will be opening his own fund soon. We talked about many different topics, but what I found the most interesting was his take on how to transition from a day job to actually trading for a living.
In the interview, he outlines what he believes is the amount of money that the average person will need to be making trading to even consider making quitting their job. He also shares how he did it and when he knew it was the right time to make the leap.
He now trades from his lakeside home in Canada and loves the fact that he his his own boss. This is also an exciting time for him because it is getting ready to open his own fund and he talks about how that is going and why he decided to do it.
What I liked the most about talking with Colin was his down-to-earth personality and practical outlook on trading. I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I enjoyed doing it.
If you have any comments or questions for Colin, feel free to leave a comment at the bottom.
In This Episode:
- Colin names the mentor responsible for making him a successful trader
- What happened to his account a PFGBest
- How he started with $800 and no clue what he was doing
- The two biggest things that he sees beginners doing wrong
- What he does to constantly improve his trading

Justin Hertzberg: How to Become a CTA, Best Forex Brokers and How Rebates Work // EP27
The Trading Lifestyle Podcast: Trading Heroes Forex Trading Blog | Pro Trader Interviews
08/03/16 • 44 min
Managing money is one way to become a professional trader. But the process can be confusing and sometimes a little scary.
After all, you don't want to do anything wrong.
Of course, this podcast is for education purposes only and is not legal or trading advice.
However Justin Hertzberg works with quite a few CTAs (Commodity Trading Advisors) and was generous enough to share his experience with them, so you understand how the general process works and where to get started.
He is the president and CEO of Forest Park FX, a CFTC registered/NFA member introducing brokerage firm. After working for several Forex and equities brokerage firms as both trader and in-house counsel, he launched Forex Park FX in early 2013.
In 2008, He left the traditional practice of law to pursue a career in trading. Forest Park FX works with forex traders and money managers to create customized brokerage and trading solutions to suit their individual needs and concerns.
The company's offerings include cash back rebates for retail clients, algorithm development, and brokerage support for money managers and CTAs, among others. He began his career as a commercial and securities litigator for a large law firm after obtaining his juris doctorate and finance MBA from the University of Miami.
Obviously, money manager requirements will vary by country and Justin is talking about US traders in this interview. But regardless of where you live, this interview can at least point you in the right direction and help you ask the right questions.
We also chat about what Forex Park does for their clients and how broker rebates work. Since they are an Introducing Broker and not a primary broker, they have a lot more flexibility.
They can also be more forthcoming about what is really good for clients, since they have a variety of brokers and services to choose from. On the other hand, brokers like FXCM only have one product (basically), so that is what they will try to sell you.
Forest Park does their best to find out what the trader needs and steers them to the right broker.
If you have ever wondered about rebates, Justin and I get into that too. Learn how they handle rebates and their stance on what clients should get.
This is a very informative interview, so I hope you get as much out of it as I did!

- When you might not want to become a CTA

EP24 // Joel Kruger: Investment Banker Turned Pro Forex Trader
The Trading Lifestyle Podcast: Trading Heroes Forex Trading Blog | Pro Trader Interviews
10/15/15 • 30 min
Joel Kruger started his professional career on a path that you might be able to relate to.
He initially went to law school and later became an investment banker.
That may not be a common career path, but many people who get into trading come from some sort of high-level profession. So if this describes you, and you don't want to be in that profession anymore, this interview might give you an alternative.
When Joel saw a trading floor for the first time, he was hooked. His career in trading started as a currency analyst and he was eventually able to make the jump to full-time trading.
But it wasn't easy. He admits that even though he knew how to analyze markets, trading them is a totally different story.
There were several times when he wanted to quit. Find out why he stuck with it, what he has learned, the most important trait that he sees in successful traders and much more.
So if you are an investment banker, it's not too late. If you want an alternative to the crazy hours, Joel's story might be an option that interests you.
Enjoy!
In This Episode
- The biggest problem with the Forex market
- Why Forex is the best market to trade
- How to raise money with your trading skill
- Why the size of your account does not matter
- Joel's outlook on life and how that determines his trading style

Chris Capre: This Transformed Him Into a Pro FX Trader From a Yoga Teacher // EP12
The Trading Lifestyle Podcast: Trading Heroes Forex Trading Blog | Pro Trader Interviews
10/04/13 • 45 min
Chris Capre started off wanting to be a Yoga instructor for the rest of his life, but a friend had an intuition about him...
His friend felt that Chris would be a good currency trader...and he turned out to be right!
Chris says that as soon he started looking at the charts, they seemed to make sense to him.
That's not to say that he did not endure some tough times too, but from a very early stage, he knew that he had found his calling.
Even though he was very successful at the beginning, he went through the process of being a broker, then a hedge fund trader, then an independent trader and educator.
He never intended to become a Forex mentor, but he was getting so many requests to be taught, that he decided to build a business around it and he started 2nd Skies Forex.
It was interesting to hear about his experiences with students and what makes some successful.
I hope you enjoy this interview and learn a lot from it.
Chris is a great guy to talk to and I love the fact that trading has provided him a way to give back to causes he believes in and make the world a better place.
In This Episode
- How Chris learned about Forex trading
- Why you are lucky to be a trader now
- The biggest lesson he learned from being a hedge fund trader
- Why the USD/JPY is so hard to trade for traders in the US
- Learn how much he made on a $3,000 account in 6 months
- Find out how he landed a job at a hedge fund, as a trader
- Why looking at a chart for 3 seconds may help you make a better assessment of the market
- How to tell when someone has a working mastery of trading

EP3 // Ex-Olympian Chris Lori And How Sports Apply To Forex Trading
The Trading Lifestyle Podcast: Trading Heroes Forex Trading Blog | Pro Trader Interviews
03/06/12 • 36 min
Today I am happy to have on the podcast, professional trader, Commodity Trading Advisor (CTA), fund manager and Forex mentor Chris Lori. I have known Chris for awhile now and when I first started to trade, he was instrumental in getting me started on the right foot. Although I have been in contact with Chris via email over the years, I have never spoken to him in person, so I was excited to finally get to chat.
In addition to his accomplishments in trading, Chris also participated in four Olympic Winter Games as a member of the Canadian Bobsleigh Team. He has won multiple Crystal Globes and World Cup Medals during his athletic career.
As I have written about before, the very first Forex trading course that I purchased was from an “educator” named Aden Rusfeldt. It turns out that the course was a total scam and I completely wasted my money.
Chris' course was the second education package that I picked up and I was a little skeptical at first and understandably so, based on my previous experience. But as I went through the first few DVDs, I started to realize that what he was teaching was legit because I could see what he was talking about on the live charts and it make me look at the charts in a completely different way.
To this day, I still believe that his educational material on price action is one of the best on the market, especially for beginning Forex traders. He trades almost solely on price action and his favorite pair is the AUD/JPY. I just ordered his course on trading the AUD/JPY and I am interested to learn how he trades it during the Asian Session, which is typically a much lower volatility session.
Chris was in Western Australia during this interview, where he spends a lot of time. That is the beauty of being an independent professional trader, you can pick up and work from anywhere in the world that has an internet connection.
I hope you enjoy this episode and if you have any questions for Chris, please leave them below! Also be sure to check out the other interviews in The Trading Lifestyle podcast series.
In This Episode:
- Find out if he thinks backtesting is worthwhile or not
- How his athletic background made him a better trader
- What Chris' father did to help him become a currency trader
- The age that he started trading and the exact timeline of his trading progress
- How he built his trading stake
- Advice that he has for traders who want to start managing money
- What really exploded his trading results

EP13 // Steve From No Brainer Trades And The Only Thing You Need To Remember When Trading
The Trading Lifestyle Podcast: Trading Heroes Forex Trading Blog | Pro Trader Interviews
02/05/14 • -1 min
Hello traders, I'm very happy to be back with another episode of The Trading Lifestyle Podcast and I was fortunate to be able to interview Steve W. from No Brainer Trades. If you have been trading Forex for awhile, you have probably heard of Steve because his blog provides traders with a ton of quality free information.
Like several of the other people that I have interviewed before, Steve didn't originally set out to become a trader. He basically just needed a job and found one as a clerk at an investment bank in New York. This happened while Steve was still in college and he was actually studying for a degree in business for film and TV.
Being a clerk sparked his interest however and he started learning everything he could about trading. This lead to him becoming an analyst and the rest is history.
He has been trading professionally for about 7 years and has a very no-nonsense approach to trading. He primarily trades price action and in the interview, he talks about the key factors that new traders really need to understand in order to become successful.
I hope you find this interview very useful. It is almost an hour long and packed with some great insights into how Steve approaches trading and what he has learned over the years.
So make yourself comfortable, get out your notebook and pour your favorite drink. Enjoy!
In This Episode
- Why you want to trade like a cheetah
- The primary reason for most of his losses
- His path to a FX desk at a bank
- Why he was forced to change his trading over the years
- Where the hidden information is located in the charts
- Which overused expressions are actually true
- One of the biggest killers of retail trading accounts
- What Steve finds the most fun about trading
