Pros

Made some great friends. It was a great place to learn how the markets work. A good introduction to equity trading.

Cons

Not a place where management treats its employees fairly. Trading strategy does not work either. They need a new edge besides reading the tape.

this is a fake review. SMB Capital has never had a sales manager. We are a trading desk.

Pros

strong python scripting tools; generous with buying power for consistently profitable traders; new/developing traders "graduate to" a team headed by a senior trader, where there is opportunity to contribute to knowledge / strategy base and receive valuable mentorship in return; highly structured training program for brand new traders

Cons

skill development, especially with the python tools, requires lots of self-direction and stamina; quite modest risk (i.e. buying power, daily drawdown limit, etc) given to new traders, which means little earning potential, but that's chiefly because nearly all new traders initially lack the skills and knowledge base to trade profitably on the intraday timeframe; some "siloing" of knowledge / strategies among individual teams
