# 2.  Background and Market Context

In recent years, proprietary trading firms, commonly known as "prop firms," have gained momentum in the financial markets. The advantage for traders is the opportunity to earn significant profits without risking their own funds, while the firm takes a share of the profits as compensation. As global markets become more interconnected and digitalized, the demand for efficient, technology-driven trading solutions has surged, providing a fertile ground for prop firms.

EOSI Finance aims to innovate within this thriving sector by incorporating cutting-edge technology and data-driven strategies. EOSI Finance's approach is to leverage these technological advancements to offer a robust and competitive platform for traders worldwide, addressing the growing need for agile and scalable trading solutions.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://eosi-finance-1.gitbook.io/eosi-finance-documentations/eosi-finance/2.-background-and-market-context.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
