      Training Firm... not Trading firm

      Pros

      Great place to learn the basics of trading and hone your skill. People were great to work with too since everyone likes what they're doing.

      Cons

      It's actually not a job. You put up money to be there and then hope you're good enough to make it back after they take their 50% cut. Once you're in the hole, almost impossible to get out.

      Pros

      SMB / Kershner Trading Group (join venture) provides one with ALL the resources they need in order to be profitable. Capital, tech, mentorship, an environment where you can learn from 7 fig traders and the list goes on. I've been at the firm for almost 3 years and seen many come and go...in most cases people go simply because they didn't have the drive, correct mindset, and/or savings to sustain the learning period but never because the firm did not provide them with what they needed. Trading isn't easy, and if you join a firm thinking it is then you probably won't make it. There is only so much the firm can provide but at the end of the day it's up to the individual to go above and beyond if they truly want to be an elite trader. In my opinion there is no better prop firm to be at in nyc than smb /ktg.

      Cons

      No Cons, just a suggestion - Getting onto a team sooner and starting off with more size / risk would have been beneficial i believe, possibly would make it easier to size up down the line. With that being said once you are consistent the firm is super generous with size and capital.
