My next guest is known for his skill as a scalper – futures and forex. He sometimes trades longer timeframes, but he’s found scalping to be his thing. Not that he cracked it overnight: it took him five tough years to make consistent returns from this high-speed form of trading.

Born in Italy, and now living in Spain, Giancarlo Prisco exudes the warmth and ease of a southern Mediterranean.  I was particularly struck by his almost poetic rendering of pivotal moments in time. This is more than just a conversation about trading, it’s also a conversation about knowing yourself in life.
