At PIP Traders Funding LLC, all capital provided in our Evaluation Accounts and Sim Funded Accounts is completely virtual.
This means that no real money is traded in the live financial markets — traders operate in simulated environments designed to reflect real market conditions as closely as possible.
🔎 What Does “Simulated Capital” Mean?
Simulated (or virtual) capital refers to:
Demo-based funds, not actual currency
Trading in real-time environments using live market data, but without executing real trades on live liquidity providers
A structure where performance is measured to evaluate a trader’s discipline, consistency, and skill
🎯 Purpose of Virtual Capital
The virtual funds are used to:
Assess your performance in our One-Step or Two-Step Evaluations
Allow you to trade risk-free in a realistic environment
Qualify you for performance-based rewards, depending on your results
Encourage professional behavior without risking personal or third-party capital
📌 No real capital is deposited, invested, or transferred in the financial markets on your behalf.
⚖️ Why This Matters
Since no real capital is being traded:
We operate outside the scope of financial regulation
We do not require financial licensing, as we're not managing investments
We follow industry standards for simulated trading programs and comply with guidance such as CFTC Rule 4.41
