      Traders aren't profitable. CEO more interested in selling books than being a great trader.

      Pros

      Good environment the traders are hungry, and intelligent management is just bad.

      Cons

      The founders trade with 100 shares and act as though they are the greatest things ever. They only give buying power to traders who adopt their profit losing strategies. This company is more interested in selling training programs and subscriptions than they are at doing anything else. If you ask management how much their traders made on average, what percentage of their desk is profitable, how much did the founders make trading in the last 5 years then just laugh.

      Growing firm but still has its drawbacks

      Pros

      Growing firm in the day trading world. Some 7 figure traders with solid strategies. Some traders are consistently earning 6 figures month over month which is nice to learn from. Great use of KTG technology. (the parent company of SMB) KTG has really strong indicators and smart technology that allows you to trade rebalances and imbalances which most firms technology does not allow. KTG supplies all the capital and technology which is a big step up from the SMB tools, they sell to the general public. Firm is moving in the right direction as they are starting to hire more quants. The firm has a product called cloudquant that allows you to trade black boxes.

      Cons

      Splits are terrible compared to a lot of firms. Starts below 50/50 and max out at 70%. Training for younger traders has nothing to do with the firms main strategies so if you are new to the day trading world this will probably set you back 6 months until you join a team. Training seems outdated and partners who run the training are not profitable traders so its tough to listen too. Very spread firm from top to bottom. Success rate of new traders is lower than most firms but those that make it seems to make a higher return.

      I believe the positive reviews are FAKE. SMB sells courses, they are not legitimate.

      Pros

      They have good marketing that they use to lure people in.

      Cons

      It's not a legitimate company. In my opinion, they are frauds. What they teach doesn't work. You will likely lose money by buying anything they sell.

      SMB Capital Response

      This is a fake review. It was written by a person who failed at investment banking and then began to harass SMB Capital online. The reason there are no details in the review is because DJ who wrote the review never worked for SMB. We have an extensive recruiting process and we encourage you to apply to the firm if your passion is trading. We have requested that Glassdoor remove the review.
