Pros

The environment is mostly conducive to learning. I learned a lot about reading the tape and trader psychology here. They brought in professional psychologists to give talks to the traders and they had meetings almost every day to discuss opportunities and to analyze the day's successes/failures so that we could learn from each other as well.

Cons

The training is decent, but a little over-priced. I wish the training was free as my class was also required to submit a capital contribution. I shelled out $5k for the contribution, $5k for the training, still had a profit split, which I never met. Trading their strategy is frustrating in markets that do not show strong momentum.
