Series test needed for prop trading?

Hey all,

I am a rising senior and have come across an opportunity working for a well-regarded prop shop during the school year and possible FT. The problem is I don't have any series licenses yet, so my question is do I need any series licenses to trade for a discretionary prop firm?

Thanks

They are giving me an allocation to trade while in my senior year so I have to get the licenses before September. I just wanted to check to see if I needed any licenses at prop shops because it is their own money.

 

Velit explicabo itaque ipsam illo. Ut qui qui necessitatibus itaque voluptatem aliquam aut.
