I often heard this expression, but I didn't really understand what it meant. In the end, I decided to check what a funded account was and went to the website. The article there explains everything in simple language: first, the trader undergoes verification, demonstrates stability and discipline, and only then is he given an account with the company's money. It used to seem confusing to me, but after reading it, it became much clearer. Now I understand that this is a real opportunity for those who don't have a lot of capital but do have trading skills.
