Account balances in a prop-firm challenge that exist in a demo (simulated) environment — no real money is bought or sold in the market.
How it works
When you take a $50,000 challenge, you are not given $50,000 of real capital. You trade a $50,000 simulated balance against real market prices. If you pass and trade a funded account, your profit split is paid by the firm from its own funds, based on your simulated performance.
At WICK FUNDED
WICK FUNDED is upfront about this: every account is simulated and we say so on every page. We believe a transparent simulated model is safer for traders (you can never lose more than your challenge fee) and we explain exactly how payouts are funded.
