Common Questions

Q: How do I apply?

A: Through the application form linked on this page. The process starts with a short application, followed by a conversation about whether the program is the right fit for your situation and goals. We don't pressure-sell if it isn't a fit, we'll say so.

Q: Do I need a finance background?

A: No. Most of our successful traders come from outside finance entirely engineering, the trades, the military, teaching, sales. Pattern recognition and discipline transfer well into trading; a degree in finance does not, particularly.
