It rises only at the close of a session, on money you have banked, and it never comes back down. It stops rising once it reaches the level below, and stays there.

Going over does not close the account — it raises the profit you need to pass.

A dash means the firm publishes no such figure for that account. It is a statement about what they publish, not a gap in what we read.

03 — The account’s life

  1. Evaluation

    the paid test you have to pass

  2. Funded, on simulated money

    the account you trade after you pass, still on simulated money

  3. Funded, on live money

    the account you trade after you pass, on the firm’s real money

These are the stages, not the firm’s names for them. Their names are trademarks and are left where they belong — on their own pages.
