Futures trading at Apex was a tremendous learning experience for me.
Lesson one, I don't like trading futures. Options are definitely my perfect fit for a number of reasons.
Lesson two, specializing in the NQ helped me learn its personality.
Lesson three, prop trading has its definite pros and cons.
My new happy place? 0DTE options on QQQ.
There is enough liquidity, and enough volatility in the zeros for me to make my bag. I don't have any of the stress of screeners or tracking multiple tickers. There are zeros every day.
Meanwhile Schwab discontinued Street Smart Edge. I have never loved Think or Swim, but I have found the few features I need, including on mobile. In fact I prefer trading on my phone now, which is another huge plus!
