Graduate from sim to real live trading. These prop firms offer a path from funded simulation to a live brokerage account.
After meeting payout milestones, the firm moves you from a simulated funded account to a real live brokerage account with real market execution.
Apex (after 6 payouts), Legends (after 2nd payout), Lucid (after 5-6 payouts), Topstep, Tradeify, and several others have live transition paths.
Live accounts offer real market fills (no simulated slippage), often lift payout caps, and provide a track record with a real brokerage.
It varies: Legends transitions after 2 payouts, Apex after 6. Most traders reach live within 3-6 months of consistent funded trading.
