FundedNext funded (evaluation passed, simulated balance) account - does it qualify for CME

I trade with FundedNext, a futures prop firm that uses Tradovate. I have passed their evaluation stage and have a funded account, but the account balance is simulated (not my own real capital deposited with a broker).

Does this type of account qualify as a "live funded trading account" for the CME non-professional real-time data rate on the Denali Exchange Data Feed? Or does it fall into the same category as evaluation accounts (which I understand do not qualify)?

If it does not qualify, I'm considering opening a small personal account (e.g. with Stage 5) specifically to meet the non-professional requirement. I just want to confirm the FundedNext funded account definitely won't work before I do that.

Thank you.

No definitely does not qualify:

Yes you would need to do this:
