What is the Maximum Loss Limit (MLL)?
The MLL is the maximum loss threshold allowed on an account. Reaching this threshold results in a permanent account breach.

End-of-Day (EOD) Trailing Drawdown
All currently available programs use an End-of-Day trailing drawdown system:
▪️ The loss threshold rises as the account balance increases.
▪️ It updates once at the end of each trading day.
▪️ It does not trail in real time during trades.
▪️ It never moves downward after losses.
▪️ It locks at the initial account balance + $100.

MLL Lock Levels
Rapid Pro & Rapid Daily:
▪️ 25K: $25,100.
▪️ 50K: $50,100.
▪️ 100K: $100,100.

Flex:
▪️ 50K: $50,100.
▪️ 100K: $100,100.
▪️ 150K: $150,100.

Direct:
▪️ 50K: $50,100.

Practical Example — Rapid Pro 50K
Initial Balance: $50,000.
Maximum Loss Limit: $2,000.
Initial Loss Threshold: $48,000.

Day 1:
The account closes at $51,000.
New loss threshold:
$51,000 - $2,000 = $49,000.

Day 2:
The account closes at $52,100.
New loss threshold:
$52,100 - $2,000 = $50,100.
The MLL reaches its lock level and permanently stops trailing.

Day 3:
The balance decreases to $51,500.
The MLL remains locked at $50,100.

Day 4:
The balance increases to $54,000.
The MLL stays at $50,100 despite the additional profits.

What Happens After the First Withdrawal?
On a FundedNext Account, the first Performance Reward locks the MLL at the initial balance + $100 if it has not already reached that level.
Example: A 50K account locks at $50,100.

Floating Losses During Trading
Although the MLL only updates at the end of each trading day, the loss threshold is enforced in real time.
If account equity reaches the MLL during an open trade, the account is permanently breached immediately, without waiting for the trading day to end.

What is the Daily Loss Limit (DLL)?
The Daily Loss Limit is the maximum amount an account can lose during a single trading day, including:
▪️ Closed trade losses.
▪️ Floating losses on open positions.
▪️ Trading commissions and fees.

Programs with a Daily Loss Limit

Rapid Daily
▪️ 25K Account: $500.
▪️ 50K Account: $1,000.
▪️ 100K Account: $1,250.
Applies to both Challenge and FundedNext Accounts.

Rapid Pro with DLL Add-On
▪️ 25K Account: $500.
▪️ 50K Account: $1,000.
▪️ 100K Account: $1,250.
These limits apply when the optional Add-On is selected at purchase, covering both Challenge and FundedNext Accounts.

Direct - Instant Funding
▪️ 50K Account: $1,000.

Programs Without a Daily Loss Limit
▪️ Rapid Pro without the DLL Add-On.
▪️ All Flex Accounts.

How is the Daily Loss Limit Calculated?
The daily loss threshold is based on the highest End-of-Day (EOD) account balance.
The threshold trails upward with profits and never moves downward after losses.

Practical Example - Rapid Daily 50K
Initial Balance: $50,000.
Daily Loss Limit: $1,000.
Initial Loss Threshold: $49,000.

If the account closes the trading day at:
$51,500
The next day's loss threshold becomes:
$51,500 - $1,000 = $50,500.
If account equity reaches $50,500 during trading, a Soft Breach occurs.

What Happens When the Limit is Reached?
▪️ A Soft Breach is triggered.
▪️ Trading is disabled for the rest of the day.
▪️ The account is not permanently breached.
▪️ Trading resumes on the next trading day.

Daily Loss Limit vs. Maximum Loss Limit
Reaching the Daily Loss Limit causes a temporary trading suspension, while reaching the Maximum Loss Limit (MLL) results in a permanent account breach.

What Are Benchmark Days?
A Benchmark Day is a trading day on which the trader achieves the minimum required profit based on the account size.

Flex Accounts
Traders must complete at least 5 qualifying Benchmark Days before each withdrawal on a FundedNext Account.
This requirement does not apply during the Challenge Phase.

Minimum Daily Profit to Qualify
▪️ 50K Account: $200.
▪️ 100K Account: $200.
▪️ 150K Account: $250.

If the Daily Target Is Not Met
▪️ The trading day does not count as a qualifying Benchmark Day.
▪️ Any profits earned remain part of the account balance.
▪️ Traders must complete 5 new qualifying days after each withdrawal to become eligible for the next one.

Other Programs
Rapid Pro, Rapid Daily, and Direct do not require Benchmark Days for withdrawal eligibility.

What is the Consistency Rule?
The Consistency Rule encourages traders to distribute profits across multiple trading days rather than relying on a single highly profitable day.

Flex Challenge - 40% Consistency
The rule applies during the Challenge Phase only.
The highest single-day profit must not exceed 40% of the Profit Target.

Calculation:
Profit Target × 40% = Daily Profit Threshold.

Example - Flex 50K Account
Profit Target: $2,500.
Daily Consistency Threshold:
$2,500 × 40% = $1,000.

If the trader earns $1,500 in a single day, the required Profit Target increases to:
$1,500 ÷ 40% = $3,750.
Exceeding the threshold does not breach the account. Instead, the required Profit Target increases.

Rapid Pro FundedNext Account - 40%
The rule applies to the funded phase only.
The highest single-day profit must not exceed 40% of the current withdrawal cycle's total profit.

Calculation:
(Highest Profit Day ÷ Cycle Total Profit) × 100

Practical Example:
▪️ Day 1: $1,500 profit.
Total Profit: $1,500 - Consistency: 100%.

▪️ Day 2: $1,200 profit.
Total Profit: $2,700 - Consistency: 55.56%.

▪️ Day 3: $1,800 profit.
Total Profit: $4,500.
Highest Profit Day: $1,800.
Consistency: $1,800 ÷ $4,500 × 100 = 40%.

The Consistency Rule is now satisfied. The trader may request a withdrawal once all other requirements are met.
Exceeding 40% does not breach the account. Trading must continue until the ratio reaches 40% or less.

Direct - 20% Perpetual Consistency
The Direct Account uses the Perpetual Consistency Rule.
The highest single-day profit ever recorded on the account must not exceed 20% of the current withdrawal cycle's total profit.

Calculation:
(Highest Profit Day Ever ÷ Current Cycle Profit) × 100

Practical Example:
If the highest recorded profit day is $500, the cycle must generate at least:
$500 ÷ 20% = $2,500.
The consistency ratio then equals 20%.

The all-time highest profit day carries forward across withdrawal cycles.
If a new higher profit day is recorded, that amount becomes the new benchmark for future cycles.

Programs Without Consistency Requirements
▪️ Rapid Daily: No consistency rule during either phase.
▪️ Rapid Pro: No consistency rule during the Challenge Phase.
▪️ Flex: No consistency rule on the FundedNext Account.

FundedNext Futures has two types of account breaches:
▪️ Soft Breach.
▪️ Hard Breach.

1. Soft Breach
A Soft Breach occurs when the Daily Loss Limit (DLL) is reached on an account where this limit applies.

Applicable Programs:
▪️ Rapid Daily.
▪️ Rapid Pro with the DLL Add-On.
▪️ Direct.

What Happens After a Soft Breach?
▪️ Trading is disabled for the rest of the trading day.
▪️ The account is not permanently breached.
▪️ Trading automatically resumes on the next trading day.
▪️ No paid account Reset is required.

2. Hard Breach
A Hard Breach occurs when the Maximum Loss Limit (MLL) is reached. It may also result from violations of the company's trading rules.

Main Causes of a Hard Breach:
▪️ Reaching the Maximum Loss Limit (MLL).
▪️ Using prohibited trading strategies.
▪️ Holding positions beyond the permitted closing time or over weekends.

What Happens After a Hard Breach?
▪️ The account is terminated and trading cannot continue.
▪️ Accumulated account profits are forfeited.
▪️ Recovery options depend on the account type.

Account Reset
▪️ Rapid Pro, Rapid Daily, and Flex Challenge Accounts: A paid Reset is available following a loss-limit breach.
▪️ FundedNext Accounts: Cannot be reset after a Hard Breach.
▪️ Direct Accounts: Reset is not available.

Important Note
Floating losses count toward both the Daily Loss Limit and Maximum Loss Limit.
If account equity reaches the MLL, a Hard Breach occurs immediately, even while a position remains open.

Does FundedNext Futures Require Margin?
FundedNext Futures accounts do not follow the traditional margin requirements used by brokers.

▪️ No Initial Margin is required.
▪️ Traders do not need to deposit personal funds as trading margin.

How Is Trading Position Size Determined?
The company uses Contract Limits to determine:
▪️ The maximum number of Mini contracts.
▪️ The maximum number of Micro contracts.

Contract Limits vary depending on the program and account size.
Trading is subject to the permitted Contract Limits as well as the applicable loss limits for each account.

Is DCA and Scaling Into Positions Allowed?
FundedNext Futures allows Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) and scaling into positions, provided traders follow a structured strategy with disciplined risk management.

Permitted DCA Practices
▪️ Adding positions at predetermined price levels or zones.
▪️ Having a clear rationale for each additional entry.
▪️ Following a predefined exit and risk management plan.
▪️ Respecting account contract limits and loss thresholds.

Practices to Avoid
▪️ Continuously adding to losing positions without a trading plan.
▪️ Blindly averaging down in hopes of a price reversal.
▪️ Excessive and undisciplined risk escalation.

Important Note
Structured DCA is permitted, but Grid Trading is prohibited.
All trading activities must comply with the company's trading rules and risk management requirements.

What Is a Price Limit?
A Price Limit is the maximum permitted price movement range for a futures contract during a trading session, set by the CME to control volatility.

FundedNext Futures Rule
Trading is prohibited when the market price moves within 2 percentage points of the applicable CME Price Limit.

Practical Example - Equity Index Futures
For contracts such as NQ, ES, and YM, when the applicable Price Limit is 7%:
▪️ The restricted zone begins at a positive 5% price movement.
▪️ The restricted zone also begins at a negative 5% price movement.
▪️ Trading is prohibited within the remaining range approaching the 7% Price Limit.

Important Note:
CME Price Limits vary by instrument and trading session. The 7% limit does not apply to every contract or at all times.

How to Monitor Price Limits
Traders can monitor the % Net Change indicator on their trading platform to track price movements and proximity to the applicable Price Limit.

Why Is Trading Near the Limit Prohibited?
▪️ Reduced market liquidity.
▪️ Extreme price volatility.
▪️ Unpredictable trade execution.
▪️ Increased slippage risk.

Consequences of Violations
Trading within the restricted price range may result in:
▪️ Profit deductions.
▪️ Trading restrictions.
▪️ Account suspension.

What Is the Disciplined Trader Program?
FundedNext Futures offers a structured educational and corrective program designed to improve risk management and trading discipline among traders displaying repeated high-risk behavior.

Reasons for Enrollment
▪️ Repeated excessive risk-taking.
▪️ Losses significantly larger than average winning trades.
▪️ Gambling-style or undisciplined trading.
▪️ Breaching multiple accounts within a short period.

Traders receive an official warning before enrollment. Continued high-risk behavior may lead to enrollment in the program.

Trading Requirements
▪️ Maximum combined risk at any time: 1% of the account's initial balance.
Example: A 50K account permits a maximum combined simultaneous risk of $500.
▪️ A predefined Stop Loss is mandatory for every trade.
▪️ Trading during high-impact economic news is prohibited.
▪️ Traders must follow applicable consistency and trading day requirements.
▪️ Breaching the Maximum Loss Limit (MLL) results in a Hard Breach.

Account Allocation Limits
▪️ Accounts purchased before enrollment are not subject to the new allocation restrictions.
▪️ New accounts purchased after enrollment are subject to a cumulative maximum allocation of $50,000.
▪️ This limit applies to the combined size of newly purchased accounts, not to each account individually.

Graduation Requirements
Traders must satisfy all of the following:
▪️ Complete 5 successful trading cycles.
▪️ Achieve $30,000 in cumulative profits.
▪️ Record at least 15 winning days.
▪️ Each winning day requires a minimum profit of $200.
▪️ Maintain full compliance with all program rules.

There is no fixed graduation timeline. After meeting the requirements, traders may request restoration of standard allocation limits through the FundedNext Trading Ethics Team.

Consequences of Violations
▪️ First Violation: Formal warning while the account remains active.
▪️ Second Violation: Performance Reward split adjusted to 50/50 for upcoming payout cycles.
▪️ Third Violation: Account termination and loss of eligibility for future allocations.
Reapplication may be possible after a company-defined cooling-off period, subject to Trading Ethics Team approval.

Non-Participation
▪️ Active accounts are temporarily paused until the trader formally accepts the program terms.
▪️ Traders may choose to exit the platform and request a refund or Performance Reward, whichever applies to their accounts.
▪️ Exiting results in loss of platform access. Returning requires enrollment in the Disciplined Trader Program.

Review and Re-Enrollment
Traders may be re-enrolled after graduation if excessive-risk trading behavior returns.
Breaching the MLL during enrollment does not automatically remove the trader from the program.

What Is Micro-Scalping?
FundedNext Futures defines Micro-Scalping as opening and closing a trade within 10 seconds.

How Is the Percentage Calculated?
Profits from winning Micro-Scalping trades are measured against the total recorded profit for each trading cycle.
▪️ Losing trades are excluded from the Micro-Scalping profit calculation, but their losses still affect the account balance.
▪️ The percentage is calculated independently for each account and cycle.
▪️ Warnings and deductions do not carry over between different accounts.

Warning Threshold - 30%
When Micro-Scalping profits reach 30% of total recorded profits:
▪️ A compliance warning is issued.
▪️ No profit deduction is applied.
▪️ The account remains fully active.

40% or Above - Challenge Phase
▪️ Challenge advancement is temporarily placed on hold.
▪️ The account remains active, and trading can continue.
▪️ Advancement eligibility is automatically restored once the percentage falls below 40%.
▪️ No manual action is required to remove the restriction.

40% or Above - FundedNext Account
▪️ All Micro-Scalping profits generated during the cycle are deducted.
▪️ The account remains active and is not terminated for Micro-Scalping.
▪️ Future profits generated through the same activity remain subject to deduction.

Impact on Withdrawals
If Micro-Scalping deductions equal or exceed the cycle's net profit:
▪️ No Performance Reward is issued for that cycle.
▪️ The withdrawal option is disabled for that cycle.
▪️ The account remains active.

Monitoring Micro-Scalping
Traders can monitor their activity through the Clarity Card in the dashboard. It displays:
▪️ Flagged Micro-Scalping trades.
▪️ Micro-Scalping profit percentage.
▪️ Total Micro-Scalping profit in USD.
▪️ Detailed records of flagged trades.

Keeping Micro-Scalping profits below 40% helps avoid restrictions on Challenge progression and withdrawals.

Pending Accounts
If a trader passes a Challenge after reaching the active account limit, the new account is placed on hold.

Direct - Instant Funding
▪️ Direct Accounts count toward the 5 active FundedNext Account limit.
▪️ They also count toward the 10 accounts issued per calendar month.

▪️ Virtual Private Networks (VPNs).
▪️ Virtual Private Servers (VPSs).

Rapid Pro, Rapid Daily & Flex
▪️ Challenge Phase: 30 consecutive calendar days.
▪️ FundedNext Account: 30 consecutive calendar days.

Direct - Instant Funding

Profile-Level Verification
KYC is completed once per trader profile and covers all linked FundedNext Futures and FundedNext CFD accounts.

Additional Verification

FundedNext Futures prohibits trading strategies that exploit simulated market conditions, manipulate prices or execution, or rely on excessive and unsustainable risk-taking.

These rules apply to both Challenge and FundedNext Accounts across all currently available programs.

Prohibited Strategies and Practices

▪️ Platform Error Exploitation
Exploiting technical glitches, incorrect prices, or execution errors to generate unrealistic profits.

▪️ Account Sharing
Allowing another person to trade on an account or managing accounts belonging to other traders.

▪️ Account Rolling
Purchasing multiple Challenges and intentionally sacrificing some accounts to pass others, relying on probability rather than genuine trading skill.

▪️ Account Flipping
Using oversized positions and excessive risk to rapidly grow or breach accounts, then repeating the approach with newly purchased accounts.

▪️ Multi-Order Spam
Placing and canceling excessive numbers of orders to manipulate the order book or exploit execution.

▪️ Slow Data Feed Abuse
Exploiting delayed prices or differences in market data update speeds across platforms.

▪️ Latency Arbitrage
Taking advantage of price feed delays to execute trades before slower market data updates.

▪️ Spoofing & Layering
Placing fake or layered orders to create misleading supply or demand signals, then canceling them to influence the market.

▪️ Wash Trading
Executing artificial buy and sell transactions to create misleading trading activity or inflated market volume.

▪️ Grid Trading
Grid Trading is prohibited, including strategies that distribute buy and sell orders across multiple predefined price levels in a trading grid.

▪️ Simulated-Execution Exploitation
Exploiting differences between simulated and live market execution to generate profits that would be difficult to achieve under real market conditions.

▪️ Bracket Execution Exploitation
Using extremely tight bracket orders to exploit missing slippage or unrealistic simulated fills.
Normal bracket orders used for risk management are not prohibited solely for their use.

▪️ Exploitative Tick Scalping
Repeatedly capturing minimal price movements through unrealistic simulated fills or excessive contract sizes.
A legitimate fast trade exit is not a violation by itself.

▪️ High-Frequency Trading (HFT)
Executing large numbers of trades within extremely short periods using ultra-fast automated systems.

▪️ Reverse Hedging
Opening offsetting positions to artificially neutralize risk, whether within the same account or across accounts owned by the same trader.

▪️ Coordinated Hedging
Coordinating opposite positions between different traders to engineer profitable outcomes for selected accounts.

▪️ Hedging with Correlated Instruments
Opening opposing positions in highly correlated instruments, such as ES and YM, to artificially offset genuine market exposure.

▪️ Gapped or Illiquid Market Exploitation
Exploiting price gaps or low-liquidity conditions to obtain unrealistic executions or an unfair trading advantage.

Copy Trading Policy

Permitted:
▪️ Copying trades between FundedNext Accounts owned by the same trader.
▪️ Copying trades between FundedNext and other prop firms, provided all accounts belong to the same individual and are registered under the exact same name.
▪️ Using automated copy trading tools to replicate the trader's own trades.

Prohibited:
▪️ Copying trades from other traders.
▪️ Using external trading signal services.
▪️ Group trading or coordinated execution between multiple traders.

Consequences of Violations
Violations may result in:
▪️ Trading or account purchasing restrictions.
▪️ Account suspension.
▪️ Disqualification or account termination.

Important Note
Permission to use trading bots or execute short-duration trades does not authorize execution exploitation or prohibited trading strategies.

Does FundedNext Futures Require Margin?
FundedNext Futures accounts do not follow the traditional margin requirements used by brokers.

▪️ No Initial Margin is required.
▪️ Traders do not need to deposit personal funds as trading margin.

How Is Trading Position Size Determined?
The company uses Contract Limits to determine:
▪️ The maximum number of Mini contracts.
▪️ The maximum number of Micro contracts.

Contract Limits vary depending on the program and account size.
Trading is subject to the permitted Contract Limits as well as the applicable loss limits for each account.

What Happens If Contract Limits Are Exceeded?
▪️ Contracts exceeding the permitted limit are considered violated contracts.
▪️ Profits generated from excess contracts are deducted.
▪️ Losses from excess contracts remain fully counted against the account.
▪️ Exceeding the contract limit does not automatically result in account termination by itself.

Example:
If the maximum limit is 4 Mini contracts and a trader opens 6, only the 2 excess contracts are subject to profit deductions, while their losses still count.

Account Purchase Fees
FundedNext Futures operates on a one-time payment model.
▪️ No monthly subscription fees.
▪️ No activation fees after passing the Challenge.
