I've got the API programmed in with a team of programmers my team hired. I'm trying to understand which servers are used for what.

We have this information:
Server: api.gainfutures.com
UUID: bd65399b-...

Server: sim.gainfutures.com
UUID: 3aa47a81-...

Server: prod.gainfutures.com
UUID: 03ac0701-...

Which server/UUID do I use for live trading? Which should be used for paper trading? What is the purpose of the 3rd server?

PROD server is used for live trading. This requires you to open an account with an Introducing Broker.

SIM server is used for paper trading, not real money.

API server is only a staging environment for Developers. This server is used for implementing your custom application. Once Conformance has been passed, you may no longer need this environment unless your application implements other API items in later release.
