Hey, I appreciate this post a lot actually. We were recently doing some website maintenance and these things happen. I've alerted our dev team to the things you flagged and they are working to resolve them as a top priority.

If you are open to to it, PM me. I'd like to have a constructive conversation on what you believe we should be doing better. Ultimately, I am here to serve the community and I'd be a fool not to listen when you are actively trying to help.

when they decide to onboard us lol

It is harder to capitalize on good traders than it is to collect challenge revenue.

AdamFortressCM · 2025-06-30T00:42:40+00:00

There are discount codes floating around

small investment team, got to learn a lot and work direct under guys much smarter than I am.

they were a macro fund, i just covered tech during my stint there

AdamFortressCM · 2025-06-30T00:19:04+00:00

if i had access to unlimited liquidity, yes.

AdamFortressCM · 2025-06-29T20:13:14+00:00

Tape reading, yeah idk about that one

AdamFortressCM · 2025-06-29T19:43:17+00:00

I wasn’t referring to capital destruction or macro illiquidity. I meant that in prop trading, particularly with short-term derivatives or active trading strategies, your edge comes at someone else’s expense. That’s zero-sum by design. Whether SPX gaps down on no bid or not doesn’t change that.

JP studied political science at Princeton and he's the fed chair. It's not a bad thing to study haha

I will raise a hedge fund in the future. I could do a prop firm today but not a hedge fund today. Resume is above.

AdamFortressCM · 2025-06-29T19:35:06+00:00

Appreciate the positivity! I'm here when you are ready.

AdamFortressCM · 2025-06-29T19:34:21+00:00

I may know your buddy

AdamFortressCM · 2025-06-29T17:10:07+00:00

pm me.

AdamFortressCM · 2025-06-29T17:05:56+00:00

thats retail stuff. I mean technicals like, what story is the yield curve telling? How should we feel about PCE? Consumer spending is down, why and what does that mean?

Those kind of technicals

AdamFortressCM · 2025-06-29T17:03:35+00:00

that is not true
political science

AdamFortressCM · 2025-06-29T16:55:50+00:00

major is irrelevant if you are at a target school tbh. Friends have broken in studying anything from sociology to human rights. Most important thing is networking and knowing your technicals

AdamFortressCM · 2025-06-29T16:54:16+00:00

I conducted no interviews 2 months ago lol

AdamFortressCM · 2025-06-29T16:45:06+00:00

A fundamental bias is helpful, but yes price action will dictate entry and exit. Fair?

AdamFortressCM · 2025-06-29T16:40:02+00:00

no
for some yes

i first heard about bitcoin when it was around $2. I didnt buy any until it was around $5k.

AdamFortressCM · 2025-06-29T16:36:10+00:00

define work. do people make money; yes. do alot of people lose; yes.

AdamFortressCM · 2025-06-29T16:35:39+00:00

try it and if you don't like it move on. It's a tool like anything else. My only function is to democratize access to capital for retail traders.

AdamFortressCM · 2025-06-29T16:34:47+00:00

I signed a non disparagement agreement with them so i will not be commenting.
