A decent place to learn

Anonymous employee

Pros

The environment is mostly conducive to learning. I learned a lot about reading the tape and trader psychology here. They brought in professional psychologists to give talks to the traders and they had meetings almost every day to discuss opportunities and to analyze the day's successes/failures so that we could learn from each other as well.

Cons

The training is decent, but a little over-priced. I wish the training was free as my class was also required to submit a capital contribution. I shelled out $5k for the contribution, $5k for the training, still had a profit split, which I never met. Trading their strategy is frustrating in markets that do not show strong momentum.

Horrible treatment of employees

Business Outlook

Pros

None. Turnover is ridiculously high. Few people last for more than a few months, because they don't provide a salary

Cons

This is almost a scam. They claim to train you and then you split the profits, but their training is completely nonsensical. There's no accountability on the management in developing people and they just spend their time trying to maximum their own revenue by getting new people to sign up
