FundedNext Futures

Correlated instrument hedging banned

Buying S&P 500 futures while shorting YM Futures is prohibited as they move in sync, neutralizing actual risk.

Hard DLL — account fails immediately

Unlike most firms where DLL is a soft pause, FundedNext DLL is a hard breach that closes your account.

3.5% processing fee on all withdrawals

A processing fee of up to 3.5% applies to all Performance Reward requests, whether processed through RiseWork or other methods. This covers transaction costs and associated charges. The fee applies regardless of withdrawal amount ($250 or $10,000).

Max 5:1 risk-to-reward ratio enforced

Taking trades where the risk is higher than the potential reward beyond a 5:1 ratio is prohibited. This negative risk-to-reward ratio (RRR) goes against proper risk management. Engaging in this practice may result in account restrictions.

Trading within 2% of CME price limits prohibited

Executing trades within 2% of the CME price limit is restricted to prevent excessive risk exposure and potential market disruption. Violations may result in account suspension or restrictions.

16+ explicitly prohibited strategies

FundedNext has one of the most extensive prohibited strategy lists: platform error exploitation, account sharing, account rolling, multi-order spam, slow data feed abuse, spoofing, layering, grid trading, wash trading, latency arbitrage, reverse hedging, hedging correlated instruments, gapped/illiquid market trading, bracket/straddle strategies, account flipping, and unauthorized copy/group trading. Self-copy-trading between own accounts IS allowed.
