Payouts & Funding
Path to Live
A firm's published route from sim funded trading to a live capital account, usually triggered by sustained profit milestones.
In plain English
Firms with a path to live move successful sim funded traders onto real capital: hit a cumulative profit level or a number of clean payouts and the account transitions to a live brokerage arrangement, sometimes with relaxed rules.
A credible path to live signals the firm expects and can afford winners. Check what changes on transition: splits, drawdown handling, and whether prior payout caps disappear.
- A firm moves any sim funded account that reaches $10,000 profit to a live account, transferring up to $10,000 as the opening live balance and removing the weekly payout cap.
