Futures Trading Suggestions

If you had the opportunity to learn futures trading from any prop firm, hedge fund manager, or institutional trader, who would you choose? (I'm not looking to work for a prop firm afterwards, just looking for a course or stand alone mentorship so I can do my own thing afterwards).

This is the position I currently find myself in (cost is not an issue, someone is investing in me and told me to get the best training I can find). I don't want to waste time on worthless courses or mentors masquerading as professionals, and this is the reason for this post.

I'm aware of Axia Futures, Apteros Trading, and Red Bridge Capital, but wanted more options before I make a decision.

Thanks in advance for any input.

Merritt Black at Apteros is really good...i used to watch his morning livestream where he traded crude oil futures live from 9-10am.

can't speak to the quality of the others.

just google it...you're welcome
