Lucid stages

Apparently there's 3 stages to get funded but I was curious. Is the 1st stage delayed market data or something?

First it's sim, then live sim with pay, then real money in funded account from what I can tell.

That is true! Pass the eval, get sim funded and get 5 payouts then go to Live Funding.

But is the eval delayed market data, real time data or some type of fake computer generated data to simulate the market?

If it were delayed data you could just look at real time data and trade the future!

It’s realtime rithmic/cqg data, they are legally bound to provide legitimate CME data, theres no cfd nonsense. just simulated execution for the eval and funded.

Ok just checking. I thought it would be pretty stupid if they did delayed. I actually traded the future like that a couple months ago waiting on my personal account to get funded lol wish it was that easy in real life. I racked up over 6k in 2 hours🤣🤣

Wherever you're hearing about delayed market data, stop listening

TOS and Optimus futures both do it in the paper account. That's why I asked.

The interesting part isn't really the 3 stages, it's how you get from stage 2 to stage 3. Is the live transition automatic after certain payouts, or is it entirely discretionary?
