FundedNext: Quick Strike: trades under 30 seconds capped at 30% of profit

Positions closed in under 30 seconds are watched. If they account for 30% or more of your total profit the rule is breached: on a Challenge account progression is frozen; on a Funded account 100% of profit is forfeited and the account may be terminated. A scalper can pass, get paid nothing, and lose the account for trading the way they always have.

FundedNext: 3% risk per trade, funded accounts only

Funded accounts must keep maximum potential loss on any trade, measured from stop placement, plus all realised and floating losses across open trades, against the initial balance, at or under 3%. First breach: 100% of the profit from the offending trades is deducted. Second breach: the same deduction, and the account is permanently reclassified to a 1% cumulative risk limit. It is called a guideline; it is enforced like a rule.

FundedNext: News trades pay 40% less, funded and instant only

News trading is unrestricted during the evaluation. On a Funded or Instant account any trade opened within 5 minutes either side of a high-impact news event falls under a 40% news profit split. So the account you paid to reach is the one where the rule starts costing you.

FundedNext: Withdrawing all profit closes an Instant account

On Stellar Instant the 6% trailing drawdown resets to the initial balance once you are 6% or more in profit. You must then leave a profit buffer in the account: withdrawing everything you have made results in the account being closed.

FundedNext: Challenge accounts expire after 60 days without a trade

A Challenge account is closed if no trade is placed within any 60 consecutive calendar days. Nothing needs to go wrong in the market for the fee to be lost.

FundedNext: You must trade the funded account the way you traded the challenge

The same strategy and the same method, manual or EA, must be used in both stages; switching either way is prohibited. So is passing on one asset class or symbol group and then moving to another, or materially raising margin or risk usage, once funded.

FundedNext: EAs are an add-on, and capped at $300,000 per strategy

Expert Advisors are not included: they are bought as an add-on, work only on MetaTrader 4 and 5, and must be customised to your own style. Identical trades across accounts are not allowed, and any single EA or bot strategy is capped at $300,000 of total allocation.

FundedNext: Account rolling can cost you future access

Buying several evaluations intending to sacrifice some while passing others is treated as a luck-based tactic rather than skill. Violations may lead to restrictions on new purchases or a lifetime allocation limit.

FundedNext: One-sided betting and grid trading are prohibited

Concentrated directional exposure, stacking trades the same way, or reactive entries without regard to conditions, news or analysis, is barred as gambling-like. So is grid trading, meaning layered buy and sell orders above and below price to harvest fluctuation.
