Simulated Accounts: All prop trading evaluation programs operate on simulated demo accounts with fictitious capital. Successful evaluation unlocks simulated funded accounts where traders receive performance-based rewards on simulated gains.
Fee Breakdown: The “$100K Benchmark” column represents typical pricing for a standard $100,000 evaluation tier, while “Entry From” indicates the lowest available account size (e.g. $5K–$15K). Profit splits shown are maximum potential shares (some firms offer add-on upgrades). Always verify current rules directly on the firm's site.
The industry benchmark — proven payout history, transparent rules, and robust trading analytics on simulated accounts.
