General
The trading is simulated — no real capital is at risk in your trades. But the entry fee you pay is real, and the payouts you earn are real cash, issued by Prop Account, LLC and disbursed via Rise at a 90/10 split in your favor.

Both yes and no — and the split matters:
Simulated: all trading on TradeSport uses virtual funds in a simulated market environment with real-time market data. Your "$50,000 account" is simulated capital. No real money is placed in the market when you trade, and TradeSport is not a brokerage or exchange.
Real:
- Your entry fee is real money — a one-time card payment at checkout (no subscriptions, no recurring billing).
- Commissions are realistic — $0.46–$2.90 per side depending on the product, deducted from your simulated balance at fill time, so your P&L reflects real trading costs.
- Payouts are real cash. Every payout is split 90/10 — you receive 90% of the displayed amount, issued by Prop Account, LLC and disbursed via Rise, typically within 24–48 hours of request, after identity verification and payout review clear. Tax documents are issued as required by law.
The most important consequence: your entry fee is the most you can ever lose. Blowing the simulated account costs you the account, not additional money. See "Can I lose more than my entry fee?"
