You do? Where? I can name all the most profitable shops and every single one of them is staffed by ex tradfi prop shop guys.

edit: actually no, I can think of a couple counter-examples of successful firms started by people with no professional trading background, but it's exceedingly rare.

PS: My original comment came off as exceedingly harsh and am sorry for that. OP if you read this mb, just got kind of triggered for a moment. However I will say the design of your site is really slick!

You don't have to consistently generate alpha to make bucks as a small time trader. Even a simple strategy like buying dogecoin everytime elon tweeted about it was a sureshot way to makr money in the crypto market

Plus, the whole basket of assets going consistently up over time doesn't hurt.
