What is the LiveSim®?

Once traders pass a Funding Trading evaluation, they have the option of continuing to the prop firm and trading on a live account, or trading on a simulated trading account, the LiveSim®.

The LiveSim® is a simulated trading account where traders can continue to hone their skills in a simulated environment, while having the benefit of being able to withdraw their profit. The simulated environment is populated by a live data feed, and can be traded on using a wide variety of trading platforms.

The LiveSim® is meant as an optional intermediary step for successful evaluation candidates, and is meant as a bridge between trading on a simulator and trading on a live account.

Please read about the difference between Live and LiveSim® accounts here:

Please note that Funding Trading’s core mission is finding traders who can be profitable and a valuable addition to a proprietary trading firm. While LiveSim® is offered as an option, the proprietary trading firms, depending on your performance, may decide to provide a Live account instead of a LiveSim®.

Note:
Please note that funded traders who choose a LiveSim® account and have a Non-professional CME status will pay a one-time per-account activation fee of $139.00* for all four CME exchanges.

Those with Professional status will be charged $135/month/exchange. Traders who choose to trade on a Live account will also pay $135/month/exchange.
