$500/contract performance bond is readily available to individuals at several FCM's, there are VERY few firms that will give you a better deal than that.

What are you looking for exactly?

I suggest you use the search frunction, and learn to trade on your SIM.

There was a firm in Toronto I came across. No deposit, 50% payout. Otherwise yeah, put $2-3K into an account with amp, mirus or global and go nuts

If you can find a prop firm with an exchange membership then its worth it because you can trade for lower exchange fees therefore lower round turn rate. Dont need it for leverage like equity prop

Since you are starting your own carbon fund, maybe you can work at your own hedge fund.
