As a member, you get an account to trade in, but it is not your account. You are trading firm capital with your money as first loss. This is an important regulatory distinction. I want to make it clear I'm not bashing T3 or any other non-traditional prop firm. I'm just trying to provide details...

As a member of the t3 group, they use your capital + their capital + other member's capital to provide leverage. This is way all 1st loss JBO prop firms work.

My mistake. That was cervie.

You just created two threads saying you only trade 1256 contracts.

You are asking me using the term "viable." I can't answer that as the end results are unknown. The reality is that in my opinion, I find that does not work well for me. My rules, that I would set for me with naked shorts, is to cover when a certain adverse event occurs and move on. I would...
