When a trader passes the SurgeTrader Audition, they are upgraded to a virtually funded account at ThinkMarkets, where they are trading virtual funds with execution simulating market conditions.
At SurgeTrader, we are seeking to properly assess whether a trader's strategy during the demo phase is going to work in the virtually funded environment. To achieve this, we utilize the pricing and execution provided to us by our third-party brokers (SurgeTrader is not the broker and does not provide the platform or pricing).
Our broker partners are leaders for virtual prop trading firms because they have spent considerable resources developing a demo price feed that mirrors their live, real-world execution. This ensures that once a trader passes our Audition and is trading virtual funds, they are going to have the same execution.
