{quote} Signal providers require licenses in various countries. Its really a massive can of worms. I have in my head how it can be done to satisfy all jurisdictions but it wouldnt satisfy the traders because the traders need ego strokes.
What would the solution so that is no need for license, just say its video game right?

From my understanding no. Video game with financial markets still requires registration. My guess is data provider. Its why MFFX, TFT etc all look like fucking idiots after all this.

Yeah it makes sense, but wouldnt we considered data analyst or financial analyst and required license too? This really confuses like look at brokers in FCA regulation cant offer copy trading, but in europe or cysec you see ic markets offering copy trading so maybe the prop firms just getting a license, they can bypass this

Yeah nevermind is ic markets global so yeah cysec too dont allow brokers offer social trading services, so we traders might need license to trade to prop firms, unless you outside UK and EU

I dont know if a data analyst would require a license in this case, but the position is not really applicable to the task.

What would we say if autorithies or tax autorithies ask what we do, just say we trade demo accounts? i mean in the tradicional prop firm industry can they trade without licenses even? anyone knows this?

Apparently Angelo from TFT said yesterday, that their model is if you win they aren't personally backing you or making decisions about whether or not to A/B book you etc, they are just selling your data, as in trade history and no doubt personal info too, to third parties who will use and analyse the data to see if they can reverse engineer/ make use of your strategy. So the payment for to the trader is for providing data essentially. Apparently this was stated in a video release yesterday that I haven't watched, so further verification may be required. I presume then for the losers it still makes no difference, you bought the lottery ticket but your number never came in, fee gone.

FXCM used to say the same thing, only to discover that their offshore firm they were sending all the flow to was just throwing it into a bucket. They got fined for it as well.

What about economic consultant ? The service provided is to express opinions about economy entering simulated orders in a platform.

why would you have to say "For prop trading firms".

This is literally where everyone goes wrong, they provide information that isn't asked for which then raises additional questions.

I am an independent contractor who is a data creation specialist should suffice. I have submitted independent in 3 first world jurisdictions and none of them asked "oh you what type of company do you contract for" hahaha. They might ask the company name / invoices etc. But never "oh yeh what type of company is that".
