    Should I consider a prop firm? Or just trade my own funds? ($2 mil)

    Taking some time to think about it as @smallStops says is a good idea. If you want my two cents, I'm a quant trader in a systematic hedge fund and I invest my bonuses in other (systematic!) hedge funds and small/mid-sized CTAs. So far my portfolio has been positive every quarter, I am allocated...

    strategy optimisation

    I'm not sure I understand @Simples response. The sorting factor for your optimization results is THE main secret sauce of any machine learning system, it's what allows you to avoid over-fitting and have an adaptive behavior by being able to automatically changing algos.

    Something is not right..

    You know Trump personally ? I don't. So unless you do, your opinion is just formed from the Media which is garbage... or Books which is also garbage when it comes to making an unbiased view. Now you're going to say he said stuff that he's not doing and he does stuff that he didn't say... so...

    Something is not right..

    Whether something is "right" or not is decided by the market. The consensus, according to VIX/options pricing, is that we're far from an uncertain time market-wise. - What if the market sees tariff as a positive point ? - Crisis in Europe means more asset in the US, doesn't it ? European...

    Becoming a CTA - CME Group PDF

    - MF's clients got most of their money back (93% ?). - Corzines was taken accountable and not sued by shareholders... hence a shareholder thing more than regulation/customers. - NFA/CFTC focuses on disclosures to clients, not babysitting CEOs. Just go through their enforcement lists...

    @ElSegundo @gkishot @algofy @xandman OK So a bit more details (this is my opinion from my experience, not The Bible). Fee structure depends on who you talk to and what size the ticket is. - Yes some funds will advertise 2/25 or 3/30 or whatever, but they won't have serious money paying that...

    Experienced Portfolio Managers only

    Well a down year with your own money means you dont make anything ? Everyone charge a management fee but where it used to be 2 and 20, its now more often 1 and 20 or 0/30 .... and 0.5 /10 or 0.25 / 15 for newcomers I personally would agree to trade other peoples money for an incentive fee...

    (I wasn't working there in 2004) Management fee were paid so the firm managed to pay its bills and continue to trade. If this was a "prop money" scenario, most likely the psychological impact would have let the team take the wrong decisions and the trading capital would have been reduced to...

    Any platforms with these features?

    I think you'll be better off writing some C# or Python that does what you need. Stuff like interest rate history is not too hard to get but I've never seen a platform offer it as an indicator.
