About the Firm
Founded more than 20 years ago, our firm exists to remove the biggest obstacle facing independent traders: capital.

Our remote-first structure means our traders work from wherever they choose.

Our Work Culture
We hire traders who want to be accountable to themselves and to a process — not to a manager. Our remote-first, performance-driven culture means the best traders thrive here, and average traders quickly find their level. We support both ends honestly.
