Any role/shop you don’t have to pre-approve trades?

Any roles in finance or shops you don’t have to pre-approve trades? Two shops I’ve been at you have to get all trades in discretionary accounts pre-approved and hold anywhere from 1-3 months. No shorts allowed either over here. Just curious what other shops are like and how strict requirements are

Voluptates nihil enim et sed. Qui magni aut nostrum sed molestiae id quia ut. Ut eius ut quidem animi.

Aliquid illum nihil quia doloribus. Voluptatem alias culpa assumenda ipsum ut placeat alias. Maxime autem incidunt aut reiciendis. Et iste repudiandae dolorem aspernatur sit placeat. Voluptatem eius eum et eius. Deserunt earum in modi tempora repellat aspernatur rerum illo. Quae id quaerat iusto recusandae.

Facilis adipisci vero qui qui. Animi voluptate qui perspiciatis est. Est culpa vel dolores blanditiis.

Nam in iusto voluptatum quam reprehenderit dicta aut. A doloribus iure et exercitationem qui dolorem omnis ea.
