Simulated Evaluations vs Trading Your Own Capital

People asking how to get more trading capital without using their own savings often mean they want larger notional size without depositing brokerage capital. FundedSmart does not lend money or hold your savings as trading deposits. You pay a service fee for access to a simulated Indian Markets evaluation account under published rules. That is a different product from depositing capital at a broker.

FundedSmart provides simulated trading evaluations only — not live brokerage. This article is educational and does not promise trading results or rewards. See the Risk Disclosure.

What are you actually buying?

On FundedSmart you buy evaluation access: Instant, One Step, or Two Step paths with plan-specific profit targets and loss limits. Account sizes on Pricing are simulated balances for Indian Markets — not live exchange positions and not client money held for brokerage. Sales are final; fees are not investments that earn returns.

How does funded stage relate to capital?

Reaching funded stage means you continue in a simulated environment under funded-stage rules. Qualifying traders may request discretionary rewards under the Rewards Policy after meeting gates such as consecutive profitable trading days and KYC. Rewards are not guaranteed and are not the same as withdrawing deposited capital from a brokerage account.

What this is not

  • Not free capital or a loan
  • Not a broker demo that opens a live account path by default
  • Not a promise that simulated profits become guaranteed cash
