ive grown past the point where retail brokers feel right and keep seeing prime-of-prime mentioned. but most of that world seems built for funds and serious capital. for a well-capitalised individual, is moving to a prime-of-prime arrangement genuinely worth the higher minimums and complexity, or is it status-chasing?
