T3 Trading Group

T3 Trading Group is a prop firm wearing a broker-dealer's clothes: registered with the SEC and FINRA, it recruits individual traders, sponsors them through the Series 57 license, and backs them with capital and routing rather than running one centralized book. Discretionary technical trading across equities, options, and futures is the house style.

Its signature is the VTF, a Virtual Trading Floor that streams the live activity of the firm's top traders by video and chat so others can shadow them in real time. Founded in 2007 in Manhattan's Financial District, T3 sits beside its affiliated media arm, T3 Live, which packages market commentary and education through strategist Scott Redler. The capital model is classic arcade: post first-loss money, earn fuller backing by proving a track record.
