    Any options that might be interesting from a risk reward standpoint, energy gold equities

    There is a element of accountability when a few risk managers ask questions about your position.... makes a person actually think about what they will "ask" while formulating the position around the bias or idea/trade

    I'm not sure you understand how prop firms work today. Most prop firms are very quantitative and approach the markets from a strict data orthodoxy. If you simply want leverage, honestly futures offer more leverage then quite frankly they really should.

    Its been proven machines are not outpacing humans..... google it.... its all BS and figuring the best risk reward relative to portfolio doesn't require ACD or indicators , it requires some thought and risk management I.E. risk reward relative to position and cash

    Trilogic, what I'm trying to tell you is that is not what prop firms do. So if you want to work for one, it's generally accepted that you have to do what they want you to do, not the inverse. This is not an argument, I'm just telling you how they function.

    Oh. I my understanding of the "basics" means being able to perceive change and then act upon it by taking a position, with the belief that the pressure will last long enough for me to unwind that position at a profit. If the machine can do it better and faster, I don't desire to play that way. Inference is still better done by humans.
