What does Simulated funded account mean?
A simulated funded account uses fictitious trading capital but may qualify its trader for real monetary rewards. Orders in that account do not themselves establish live market positions.
Example
A $50,000 demo balance gains $1,000, which becomes the basis for an eligible reward.
