FundedNext Futures rules

Whether the funded account trades simulated capital, live capital, or simulated capital first and live capital later.

What the account may trade: the exchanges or product list, and any products excluded.

How many micro contracts count as one E-mini toward a contract limit.

When the firm's trading day begins. A trade after this time counts toward the next trading day for every daily rule: daily loss, consistency, winning days and minimum days.

The firm's trading day as it states it, from its open to its close, with the time zone it uses.

What happens when the daily loss limit is reached: trading stops for the day and the account stays open, or the account fails; null when there is no daily loss limit.

Where the trailing floor stops rising when that depends on the platform the account trades on: one row per platform.

True when touching the drawdown floor at any moment, open profit and loss included, fails the evaluation, even when the floor itself is set at the end of the day.

Trading days needed before the evaluation can pass; null when there is no minimum.

Days that must each make at least a set profit before the evaluation can pass; null when not required.

Calendar days the evaluation may run before it expires; null when it has no time limit.

A contract limit that grows with profit: a starting number of contracts, plus one for every set amount of profit at the start of the day; null when the limit is fixed.

Whether the evaluation passes the moment the target is reached or at the day's close.

How the drawdown floor follows the balance: end of day trails the highest end-of-day balance; intraday trails the highest balance reached at any moment, open profit included; static never moves.

A trailing floor stops rising once it reaches the funded starting balance plus this amount; 0 means it stops at the funded starting balance.

After the first payout, or after every payout, the floor moves to the funded starting balance plus a set amount; null when payouts do not move the floor.

True when the trailing floor locks at its stopping level the moment a payout is requested, not only when the balance reaches it.

What the trailing drawdown follows on the funded account: the balance, or gross profit with payouts added back (so a payout uses up the cushion instead of lowering the trail).

True when touching the drawdown floor at any moment, open profit and loss included, closes the funded account.

A daily loss limit that changes with the profit above the starting balance, read at the start of each day: each row applies once that profit reaches its level; null when the limit is fixed.

The contract limit by profit above the funded starting balance, read at the start of each day: each row applies once that profit reaches its level; null when there is no scaling plan.

True when the contract limit (or the daily loss tier) can fall again when profit falls; false when a level once reached is kept.

A contract limit that grows with profit: a starting number of contracts, plus one for every set amount of profit at the start of the day; null when the limit is fixed.

Until the balance first reaches the funded starting balance plus a set profit, only a fraction of the maximum contracts may be open (rounded down, at least one); null when the full limit applies from the start.

The gross profit at which the simulated funded stage ends (profit above it is removed and the account moves on); null when there is none.

How many times a failed funded account can be restarted for a fee without a new evaluation; null when it cannot.

Calendar days after losing a funded account within which it can be reactivated for a fee; null when it cannot.

When and how a funded trader moves from the simulated account to a live one, and what changes when they do.

Where the profit counted toward a payout is measured from: the last payout, or the start of the funded account.

The smallest payout the firm will process in one request; null when there is no minimum.

A payout may be at most this share of the account balance; null when there is no such cap.

A payout may be at most this multiple of the profit made since the last payout; null when there is no such cap.

A profit split that depends on the profit left in the account: each row's share applies to the part of a payout above its level; null when the split is flat.

True when every payout after the first needs a net profit since the last payout.

The balance an account must keep after a payout, when the firm sets one apart from the buffer; null when there is none.

A withdrawal the firm allows before the usual payout conditions are met (for example one payout while still inside the buffer), with its limits.

Another set of payout rules the trader can choose instead (usually at activation, then fixed), with its terms.

What the firm charges to send a payout, by method (bank transfer, wire, crypto); null when it charges nothing.

Business days the firm takes to send a payout once it is approved.

The funded account closes (or moves to live) after this many payouts; null when there is no such limit.

Whether the evaluation is paid once, or billed again every period while it is open.

Charged again every period while the evaluation is open; null when the evaluation fee is paid once.

How often the recurring fee is charged; null when there is no recurring fee.

Free resets the firm banks for the trader (for example one per billing period), and when they expire.

Charged once when the account becomes funded; 0 when there is none.

A version of the plan sold at a different price with no activation fee, with its prices.

A fee charged every month while the funded account is open; null when there is none.

The price to restart a failed funded account without a new evaluation; null when that is not offered.

The price to reactivate a lost funded account within the reactivation window; null when that is not offered.

True when the firm refunds the evaluation fee with the first payout.

A monthly fee for market data the trader pays to the firm or the platform; null when data is included.

The commissions the firm sets per contract, by contract size.

Whether bots, automated strategies and algorithmic execution may trade the account. Not allowed means a strategy tested on AlgoLift can only be traded there by hand.

Whether trading through major economic releases is allowed, restricted to outside a window around them, or not allowed.

The window around releases and the releases it covers, when news trading is restricted.

The hours in which the account may trade, New York time; null when it may trade whenever the exchange is open.

The time every position must be closed (or is closed by the firm) each day, New York time; null when positions may be held past the close.

Whether a position may be held from one trading day into the next.

Whether a position may be held over the weekend.

Whether opposite positions in the same or related instruments may be held at once, in one account or across accounts.

Restrictions on trading near an exchange price limit, and what a breach costs.

Trading practices the firm forbids (for example exploiting data delays, coordinated trading, or holding to avoid the rules), as it lists them.

Whether the account may be traded from a virtual private server or a remote machine.

When the firm checks the trader's identity: before purchase, before funding, or before the first payout.

What the firm does when a rule is broken (a soft breach that pauses the day, a hard breach that closes the account, profits withheld), as it states it.

Decisions the firm reserves to itself (reviews before a payout or a live move, closing accounts it judges to break the spirit of the rules).
