Park City gets a S’mores Sleigh, while Vail gets an Ice Bar & 2-Martini Lunch. Sounds about right.

All your 14% vol are belong to us.
Somebody out there hates bean gamma in a way I can't understand. Not a recommendation. Futures and options trading involves substantial risk of loss and isn't suitable for everyone. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

These people claiming “prop” are a joke. No real proprietary trading firm has you pay them to trade. You either start as a clerk work your way up then trade their model or you have a system and a firm looks at your statements then hires you.

Trick question. Neither one is a trader.
A trader makes $50K in prop firm payouts. But spent $30K on evaluations. Another trader makes $10K in payouts. But spent $500 on evaluations. Who's the more successful trader?

Must've lingered a millisecond too long on the wrong post because now my "For You" feed is triggering me with pay-to-pretend-trade bucket shop pimps & option selling for negative edge is passive income dipshits.
