Definition of Funded Accounts and Earning Accounts

·        Funded Accounts: Many prop firms propose these accounts to their traders, allowing them access to their capital. In turn, the company shares some of its profits with traders. Still, this cannot be the case as all the funds are virtual, and all the accounts are in a demo environment or simulated.

·        TTP Earning Accounts: The Trading Pit Earnings Accounts are a door to significant accomplishments. Once clients complete a challenge successfully are awarded a signal provider contract. This contract allows them to participate in simulated trading on demo accounts based on virtual assets, allowing financial instrument transactions by providing Buy and Sell signals using the generated data. Clients are compensated for these valuable trading insights. Each challenge is associated with a dedicated Scaling Plan that provides the Profit Target and acceptable drawdown for an account. In attaining this Profit Target, apart from being reimbursed, the account type scales up to a higher level with an increased capital base. As our clients develop their trading skills, they grow into various account levels, some of which allow for the retention of profits up to 80%. The objective is steady account increase and high earnings potential.
