Understood, but I do not know enough about your plans to help guide you. The most important questions are: 1- What asset class? 2-What will be the relationship of the trader to the company? 3-Will the company be a registered Broker Dealer?
Thanks! Hopefully I will be addressing these issues as I begin posting details and thinking about what modifications I need to make.

For newbies some intro info abot Prop Trading Firms: Proprietary Trading https://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/proprietarytrading.asp And this one: Day Traders: Retail vs. Prop Trading Accounts https://www.investopedia.com/trading/prop-trading-vs-retail-trading-day-traders/
I do not yet know if exemptions remain for firms that engage in no other substantive business than trading on exchanges of which they are a member. (I read that all proprietary trading firms that were registered as broker-dealers with the Securities and Exchange Commission [SEC] would likely be required to join the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority [FINRA] under rule amendments proposed by the SEC back on July 29, 2022. I also do not yet know if the Series 7 and 66 would be required by law, or if it might simply be something desired by the company to help ensure its coaches were just as knowledgeable as any licensed financial advisor.
IMO, planning on becoming a BD would be a mistake. It would take too long to type the reasons why and go over the pros and cons. So I'll drop out the public conversation now. Good luck with your plans.
Thanks! If the exemptions remain and turn out to be applicable, that will certainly be my preference.
INSTRUCTION: The core of training from a mechanics of day trading angle will need to focus on the use of the yellow trade zones and the 20-, 8- and four-minute baselines...
