What the rules mean in practice
- There are 2 phases. Phase 1 needs $2,000 profit (8%); Phase 2 needs $1,250 profit (5%). The loss limits apply in every phase.
- On any single day you can lose up to $1,250 (5%). Check FundedNext's rules for whether that is measured from the day's starting balance or equity, because open trades count.
- The account fails if you lose $2,500 (10%). This is static drawdown: the loss limit is fixed at a set distance below your starting balance and never moves.
- Consistency rule: None on the default cycle; 40% best-day rule on the on-demand payout option
- At a 80% split, you need about 1% return on the funded account to earn back the $199.99 fee.
- The payout option is picked at checkout and is fixed for the life of the account. The default pays 80% after 21 days and then every 14 days. The alternatives are a 3-profitable-day cycle (each day at least 1% profit) at 60%, or on-demand requests once the account is up 2% and no day exceeds 40% of profit, at 90%.
- The challenge fee is refunded with the first reward on the funded account.
- A one-off reward of 15% of the challenge profit target is paid once the account qualifies for the FundedNext Pro scale-up. US traders do not receive it.
- Paid add-ons include a lifetime 95% split (+30% on price), swap-free (+10%), a 14-day first payout for $6K to $25K (+25%), a 150% fee refund, a discounted second account, and EA access below $50K.
- The $6K size is advertised at $39.99 with code STRTN against a $59.99 list price.
- The help centre lists the $200K size at $999.99; the website pricing table showed $1,099.99 on the check date, which is used here.
- US clients pay a separate price list: $49.99 ($6K), $109.99 ($15K), $189.99 ($25K), $269.99 ($50K), $529.99 ($100K) and $1,049.99 ($200K).
