How does FundedNext balance-based drawdown work compared to FTMO?▼
Unlike FTMO and other equity-based firms that penalize open floating profits, FundedNext calculates daily drawdown strictly from the starting balance at 00:00 server time. If you start with $100,000, your 5% daily loss limit is fixed at $5,000 ($95,000 stop-out floor). Closing profitable trades during the day increases your balance and expands your daily loss buffer, rather than trailing your stop-out floor upward during open positions.
When does FundedNext pay the 15% evaluation profit share?▼
FundedNext pays a retroactive 15% cash bonus on profits made during Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the Stellar 1-Step and 2-Step evaluations. This lump sum is automatically credited and disbursed alongside your very first withdrawal from the Sim Funded account. If an account is breached before requesting the first payout, the evaluation bonus is forfeited.
What is the FundedNext 40% news trading rule?▼
