What is Real Capital?
Real capital is actual money held in a live brokerage or clearing account, where orders are filled in the real market and profit and loss is settled for real. When a prop firm routes a trader to real capital, the firm carries genuine market risk on those positions. Some firms move consistent funded traders onto real capital, while others stay fully simulated and pay from their own revenue.
Why Real Capital matters
Whether a firm trades real capital changes how it makes money and how it can afford to pay traders.
