Crack the Code with the DNA of Successful Trading

Most traders fail because they’re trained to chase setups rather than building real trading skills. The DNA of Successful Trading, built by elite professionals at SMB Capital, aims to rewrite that story. Unlike many mentoring programs that only give technical setups, the SMB founding partners offer a structured curriculum centred on skill development. 

DNA of Successful Trading clearly defines the skill set you need to develop to gain a decisive competitive edge in the volatile market. This is a specialised mentorship program designed to turn developing traders into reliably profitable day traders. This modular, practical curriculum blends on-demand lessons with worksheets, daily live sessions and weekly mentoring that bridge the gap between theory and real-world application in live markets.

Your Mentors: Real Pros from the SMB Trading Desk

The DNA of Successful Trading is led by the founders of the leading NYC proprietary trading desk, Mike Bellafiore and Steven Spencer. Together, this powerhouse duo brings their 30+ years of high-stakes trading to your screen. Mike Bellafiore is known as the author of One Good Trade and The Playbook, which codify the discretionary trading philosophy in the course. 

With a background rooted in Wharton economics, Steven Spencer is a veteran short-term trader who runs SMB’s critical daily AM Prep meeting.  Through these daily morning sessions, Steve translates complex dynamics into actionable intraday setups and shares sharp market insights.
