Hi,
I was wondering, which kind of trading do the prop firms make ?
Tecnical analysis ? discretionary trading ?
They don't require strong numerical skills but if you have to trade the volatility with options or other kind of trading, how can you even understand the strategies without a minimum of matematical knowledge ?
 
prop firms that are asking you to trade vol will require decent maths obv

More than decent...decent math is known by the average person...to trade option volatility, you'd definitely need to know ode's, pde's, stochastics, etc...that will basically get you started using black-scholes...if you want to go further, then you'll need to learn much more advanced techniques...of course, computers can do the math for you, but if you don't have a fundamental base to understand what the computers are calculating, then you won't be able to use the techniques effectively.
