Graduate from sim to real live trading. These prop firms offer a path from funded simulation to a live brokerage account.
Ready public-evidence plans are sorted ahead of partial or unavailable plans when possible, and missing public fields cannot look favorable in the ranking.
This ranking uses payout access with estimated model inputs. Numeric output can run, but at least one input is an explicit assumption or legacy fallback rather than confirmed ordinary public evidence.
Informational comparison from ordinary public product/help/rule material. Missing public values stay visible as blockers instead of being treated as neutral.
Primary model note: rankings prioritize rule-derived difficulty, economic friction, constraints, and trader fit from ordinary public product/rule evidence; EV/pass probability are secondary scenario comparison estimates.
Rule-derived ranking blocked by missing public fields: max_profit_split_pct, payout_frequency.

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.
