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.

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.

Hi JJ

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I take concerns like this seriously and would like to address a few of the points you’ve raised.

Firstly, I want to clarify that the copy trading service you’re referring to is not a paid service offered by me or GCFX. It is an additional, optional feature linked to a third-party proprietary firm, and I do not charge members for access to it. There may be a misunderstanding regarding what was paid for and what falls within my direct responsibility.

Regarding trading activity, there have in fact been four trades placed over the past six months. If this activity is not reflecting on your side, it is very likely that the accounts in question are not linked correctly to the copy trading system. This is something that can be checked and resolved fairly quickly, and I would strongly encourage you to reach out so I can assist in verifying this.

It’s also important to note that all trades I take are shared well in advance — often weeks to months ahead of execution — and are supported with detailed video breakdowns and analysis. I do not fabricate results, and I am fully transparent in my approach. I am more than willing to provide investor login access where appropriate so that performance and history can be independently verified.

On the point of trading frequency, market conditions and risk management play a key role in decision-making. My focus is always on protecting capital rather than placing trades simply to meet a monthly expectation.

We are currently a community of close to 1,000 members, and the vast majority are seeing positive results. This is the first negative review we have ever received, and we have just closed out the week with a +200 pip trade that was shared approximately four weeks in advance.

With regards to my social media, any results shared are based on actual trades taken and are not intended to mislead. I’m happy to clarify this further with you directly.

In terms of meetings, these are not automatic sessions and must be scheduled and confirmed with me directly via WhatsApp. If there were instances where meetings were expected without confirmation or where miscommunication occurred, I apologise for any inconvenience caused.

I also want to make it clear that I do not condone any form of threats or intimidation. My intention is always to maintain a professional and respectful environment for everyone involved.

I would genuinely appreciate the opportunity to resolve this matter with you directly. Please reach out to me on WhatsApp so we can review the accounts, address your concerns, and work toward a fair resolution.

Kind regards,
stephan scanlen

Stephan has build this GCFX brand from the ground up. This can be seen through his interaction with his members on his group upon joining. He holds live weekly seminars in his Cape Town office , as well as online seminars to make sure that those who cannot join, receives the same service. Joining this group, allows each individual to have another source of income.

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!
