Anyone else finding KYC/AML a major bottleneck for new platform trials?
Been looking to test out a few different prop firm platforms lately, primarily for better access to certain futures contracts and exploring different execution models. The onboarding process, specifically the KYC/AML steps, has been a significant time sink. Each one seems to have its own unique set of hoops, from specific document formats to video calls at odd hours. It's understandable from a regulatory perspective, but it makes evaluating new options feel like a major project rather than a quick trial. Curious if others are experiencing this friction and how you manage it when you're just trying to get a feel for a new trading environment.
It's like they're actively trying to deter you, isn't it? I sometimes wonder if they just have a quota for how many times they can ask for the same utility bill before granting access.
