# Is This Real Money?



No. Every Finotive Futures account, whether in evaluation or funded, is a simulated account. You trade with a simulated balance, not real market capital, so your own funds are never at risk. Once you become eligible, the payouts you receive are real money. 

There is also a Path to Live, where you trade with real Finotive Futures capital directly. Moving onto live trading is offered solely at Finotive Futures' discretion and is governed by a separate Live Funded Trader Agreement.
