Which training program should I start with?

Choosing the right program depends on whether you want to trade equities or options, and where you are in your trading journey.

If you want to trade equities (stocks)

We recommend starting with SMB Inside Access. It is a low-cost monthly subscription that gives you immediate access to live daily sessions directly from the SMB trading desk, covering all levels of experience. It includes daily game planning, trade reviews, scalping sessions, PlayBook workshops, and more. It is the most accessible way to experience how professional traders prepare, execute, and review trades before committing to a more structured program.

Once you are ready to go deeper, the DNA of Successful Trading is the natural next step. It is the foundation of SMB's equities training and covers the core methodology used to train traders on the desk. Most equities trainees progress here after Inside Access.

From DNA, the Winning Trader Program builds on that foundation with 20 professional trading strategies and is designed for developing and experienced traders.

If you want to focus specifically on scalping, the SMB Scalp Radar program can be taken alongside or after DNA.

For traders who have completed DNA, Winning Trader, or Scalp Radar and want intensive coaching, the Fast Track Program with Justin Spero and the SMB Systematic Trading Program with Garrett Drinon are the next level. Both require one of those programs as a prerequisite.

The Reading the Tape program is a skill-focused add-on suitable for traders at any stage who want to develop their ability to read order flow.

If you want to trade options

Start with the Options Foundation Program if you are new to options. It covers the fundamentals through to advanced income strategies across 16 sessions.

From there, the Options Breakthrough Program teaches 10 professional options strategies and is designed to help traders move toward consistent profitability.

For ongoing education,  Options Tribe Premium is a low-cost monthly subscription that works well alongside any options program.

For structured year-long mentorship with accountability and a collaborative community, the Options Tribe Trading Team is the most comprehensive options mentoring offering.

For one-on-one coaching, the Options Mentoring Program with Nick Salvatore offers flexible private sessions tailored to your goals.
