    Quit prop firm after server side technology issues with API cost me my year; advice on non compete

    Brilliant thanks. This is exceptional bone. I made all the systems prior to going there. I think they use the document more for retention than retaliation but then again excess optimism in others is what got me in this mess.

    Quit prop firm after server side technology issues with API cost me my year; advice on non compete

    Thanks for the input, I was in no way that big of a trader but I had a very high Sharpe/Sortino ratio. I'm actually lucky enough to be speaking with some commodity/futures HFs so I might be able to do another asset class anyways.

    The bottom is in for Silver

    Hey look another long opinion on silver. I think this belongs on seeking alpha with the 10,000 other 'this is where it is going' opinion posts. SLV moves on trading volume - not supply and demand (currently). SLV has traded 72 times the value of all physical silver this year. Supply and...
