Join us in this incredible conversation with SMB Capital desk trader & Head of Recruiting/Trader Development: Jeff Holden. If you're active in the trading space, then you've most likely heard of SMB Capital (unless you're living under a rock!). They're one of the top proprietary trading firms in existence and I have deep respect for what they do there. By providing traders with the proper tools, training, and capital to succeed, they've developed numerous 7 & 8-figure per year earners since being founded in 2005 by Mike Bellafiore and Steve Spencer. So it was an absolute pleasure being able to talk to Jeff about his path from retail trader to desk trader, daily life at a top proprietary trading firm, SMB Capital's playbook setups with real-world edge, and much more in this week's amazing episode of the Speculators Podcast.
