When a trader reaches the "Funded" stage, they are operating in a simulation or demonstration phase where they are rewarded with commissions for their positive performance, following the program's rules. While they are paid a performance commission during this stage, the trading data of the "experienced traders" is used to generate additional profits by replicating them in a master account.

In contrast, TrustFundingProgram primarily acts as an "Evaluator" and provides our traders with the opportunity to earn commissions.

Market data is obtained through an external price provider, Zenfinex, which allows traders to grow, learn, and earn commissions based on their performance after completing the evaluation stage and advancing to the "Funded" stage. Occasionally, we may refer to the "Funded Trader" stage as "Funded", but it is important to note that it is a paper trading account funded with simulated market conditions.

Forex support companies often employ trading gamification through software that rewards traders in simulated market conditions. While it is a concept similar to the real market, it offers the potential for amplified rewards.

Note: 99% of Prop Firms use this model and do not provide you with real capital to trade.
