SMB Capital / Keystone Trading

[rudy376]

I'm trying to make a decision between SMB Capital and Keystone Trading. Are there any current or past traders at these firms that can offer some insight?

 

[stockcharts]

Have you interviewed with these firms?

SMB sounds like a bad deal being offered on a silver platter garnished with figs and olives.

Honestly now, only people with poor understanding of how a business is run would sign up with these guys. They give you all the downside from a career perspective and take all the upside.

are you referring to SMB in particular or the overall business concept of a prop firm?

 

[Joetrade12344]

probably SMB along with a lot of other prop firms out there. But to be fair, there are a number of prop firms that are decent, the issue would be the definition of a prop firm.

Nowadays, prop firm and hedge funds are interchangeable.

I think both are very solid and reputable firms. I'm with SMB since they offered me better conditions for my personal requirements. I'm a remote trader.

SMB commissions are way too high.

I'd go w/ SMB if Latetia is still there

I wouldn't be able to trade unless they sat me on down the desk.
