SMB Capital was co-founded by Mike Bellafiore and Steve Spencer, professional traders who built the firm's training programs around the same methodology used to train their own proprietary desk in NYC. Spencer has traded since 1996 and personally leads the live morning market sessions included in this program.

"Reading the Tape™ teaches traders to read bids, offers, and prints directly, rather than relying on charts, to anticipate a stock's next likely move. The program combines recorded video instruction with a library of the SMB desk's own group tape-reading sessions, so buyers can watch how experienced traders apply the skill in real trades. Bullets: Video training program with voiceover walkthroughs of real trades, starting from basics and progressing to more complex examples Written lectures from SMB's head trader and partners, with real trading examples 90-day access to a bonus library of 60+ videos: recorded group sessions of the SMB desk reviewing tape-reading examples together, led by partners and senior traders Includes feedback on trades executed using the Reading the Tape method Framed as a leading-indicator skill (tape) versus a lagging one (charts), aimed at improving entry pricing and trade timing"

The goal is for each trader to identify which of the 20 setups fits their own personality and trading style, then build those into a personal PlayBook.
