GCFX Academy
Steph is a great mentor. I have been trading for 4years and was never profitable. Once I joined the academy it changed everything. He has a group where all members are on and ask anything they struggle with, and everyone is always helping! We all are taught one way and its the right way! He is also always actively talking/live zoom meetings where you can ask him whatever you struggle with. Personally I am a very happy student! Best desicion I ever made!
I’ve come across many trading mentors BUT STEPHAN
I’ve come across many trading mentors, but working with Stephan at GrandCapitalFX has been a completely different experience on another level entirely.
What sets Stephan apart is not just his knowledge of the markets, but the way he teaches. He doesn’t sell dreams or shortcuts,He builds traders. Every concept is broken down with clarity, patience, and real-world application. He has a rare ability to take something complex and make it feel simple, without ever watering down the truth of what it takes to succeed.
Through his mentorship, I’ve gained more than just strategies. I’ve developed discipline, confidence, and a completely new way of thinking about trading and risk. He focuses on consistency over hype, process over emotion, and long-term success over quick wins. That mindset alone is life-changing.
What truly makes Stephan stand out is that he genuinely cares. He invests in his students, pushes you when needed, and celebrates your growth. You’re not just another client , you’re part of a journey toward mastery.
If you’re serious about trading and want to be taught the right way, with honesty, structure, and real results, Stephan at GrandCapitalFX is someone I can confidently say is world-class.
This isn’t just mentorship it’s transformation.
I have been trading with stephan and…
I have been trading with stephan and GCFX since 2020. Its been an amazing experience he introduced me to forex and has been guiding me ever since I have done multiple courses and have worked with multiple mentors and I can confidently say no one has the work rate that stephan has he has made multiple people profitable me being one of them I am funded with a R 1000 000 and on my way to pass 2 more GCFX has changed my life and Im forever grateful.
Stay far away from GCFX
To say that I am disappointed with the service rendered by Stephan Scanlen at GCFX is a tragic understatement...
I recruited 2 individuals to join his group, they both purchased copy trading accounts from Windlu (who sponsor Stephan Scanlen) proprietary firm at the cost of OVER R9000-00 EACH. Since the purchase of both of these accounts 6 or 7 months ago, Stephan Scanlen has only opened a singular trade, in January, which ultimately was closed by Stephan Scanlen, as a loss.
Despite this, Stephan Scanlen advertises a 100% win rate on social media for the Year as it stands, which is a blatant lie.
These individuals are far from happy with me and I feel as if I have ROBBED THEM OF OVER R18,000 COLLECTIVELY as next to NOTHING has been done on their copy trading accounts despite promises of at least 1-4 trades being opened per month at an attractive win-rate.
While he continues to flash cash and advertise his six figure winning trades, which for some odd reason he DOES NOT take on the copy trading accounts paid for by his members,his members (or at least those that I personally know) are scraping and scrambling trying to make ends meet, even after making significant investments with Stephan Scanlen.
Another issue is that Stephan Scanlen often schedules meetings that he does not attend. He frequently postpones these meetings that he willingly schedules without any consideration for those that may have made time on any specific day to attend the meeting and his excuses for these postponements are typically selfish and lacklustre and lack respect for others' time.
I have no doubt that once this review is uploaded and noticed by Stephan he will send his goons to share their own false reviews as a means to discredit my own, as it has happened before, very recently when another member got fed up with it all. Ultimately this prior unhappy member was threatened by Stephan Scanlen that he will involve his lawyer.
It is very important to note that many of these reviews prior to my own have only been shared at the command of Stephan Scanlen and many of them are factually untrue, especially regarding his punctuality pertaining to meetings.

Game changer
The title speaks for itself. If you want to be introduced to Forex then Stephan is the man to contact in my opinion it is a life changing decision.
Excellent
I’ve been trading forex for a while, but it wasn’t until I started working with Stephan that I truly started seeing consistent results. He has an amazing way of breaking down complex concepts into easy-to-understand lessons. What really sets him apart is how patient and thorough he is. Whenever I’ve had questions (even the ones I thought were silly), Stephan takes the time to explain things in detail without making me feel rushed or silly for asking.
One of the best things about him is that he’s not just about the technical side of trading; he really focuses on the mental aspect, too. He helped me work through some of my own psychological blocks when it came to taking risks and managing my emotions during trades.
Since I’ve started learning from Stephan, my trading has become more disciplined, and I’m making better decisions with my entries and exits. He doesn’t just give you strategies and leave you to figure it out—he’s hands-on, checking in and offering advice when needed. I’ve definitely seen my confidence grow under his mentorship, and I’m way more comfortable with my trading now.
I can’t recommend Stephan enough. If you're looking for someone who’s knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in helping you improve, he’s the mentor to go with!
