📊 Are TopTier Accounts Live?
All TopTier Trader accounts—including funded ones—are demo accounts using virtual funds. Even after passing your challenge, your funded account remains simulated.
These demo accounts:
Operate in a simulated environment
Use real-time market data sourced from liquidity providers
Mimic the behavior of live accounts in terms of execution and risk
🎯 Why We Use Demo Accounts
Using demo accounts allows us to:
Effectively manage risk tolerance
Ensure consistency in performance evaluations
Comply with industry standards for funded simulations
✅ Expectation: Treat and manage your funded account as if it were live.
⚠️ Important Disclaimer
Simulated trading has its inherent limitations:
Risk Factors | Description |
No Real Money Risk | Trades aren’t placed in the live market, which can affect emotional behavior. |
Liquidity Constraints | Simulated trades may not face the same slippage, execution speed, or availability issues. |
Hindsight Bias | Simulated strategies can be designed with the benefit of hindsight. |
