Key FundedNext Rules You Must Know
Lower Profit Target
FundedNext requires only 8% profit in Phase 1 compared to FTMO's 10%. On a $10,000 account this means you only need to make $800 instead of $1,000. Combined with unlimited trading days, this gives you more flexibility to trade at a conservative pace without rushing.
No Time Limit
Unlike FTMO which gives you 30 days for Phase 1, FundedNext has no maximum trading day limit. You can take as long as you need to hit the profit target as long as you remain within drawdown limits. This is a major advantage for slower, more conservative trading styles.
News Trading
FundedNext permits news trading. You can open and hold trades during high-impact economic events. Check the specific account type you purchase as rules can vary slightly between their Stellar and Express programs.
Expert Advisors & Copy Trading
Automated trading via EAs is permitted. Copy trading is allowed if you are the signal provider. Prohibited strategies include pure arbitrage, latency arbitrage, tick scalping and any strategy designed to exploit platform inefficiencies rather than market direction.
