FundedNext Futures

Ajman, United Arab Emirates (registered); site operated by FundedNext Limited, Hong Kong · Founded 2022 · fundednext.com

Rules verified against FundedNext Futures's own site on Sep 23, 2026

FundedNext's futures arm sells one-time-fee, one-step challenges with no activation or monthly fees: Flex (95% reward share, 50K to 150K), Legacy (80% share, largest per-cycle withdrawals) and Rapid Pro & Daily (pass in one day, 90% share, rewards every 3 days or daily). It also offers a limited-release FNL:003 50K Instant account with no challenge. All use an end-of-day trailing drawdown that stops trailing at the starting balance (or starting balance + $100). Most FundedNext accounts close after five rewards, and traders enter a discretionary live-capital review after 15 rewards (Flex and Rapid) or $100,000 in total active profit (Legacy).

Good fit if
You want one-time pricing with no activation or monthly fees, no daily loss limit, news trading, and explicit permission to run bots and copy your own trades across firms.
Look elsewhere if
You want a long-running funded account: most FundedNext accounts close after five rewards, and everything must be flat by 3:10 PM CT.

What works

  • One-time challenge fee with no activation fee and no monthly fee at any stage.
  • No daily loss limit on Flex, Legacy or default Rapid Pro.
  • EOD drawdown stops trailing at the starting balance (+$100 on Flex and Rapid), and news trading is allowed.
  • Automated trading (EAs, bots) is explicitly allowed, and copying your own trades across FundedNext and other prop firms is allowed.
  • Rapid Pro & Daily can be passed in one day; Rapid Daily pays rewards daily with no consistency rule.
  • 24-hour reward processing guarantee, with $1,000 added if missed.

What to watch

  • Flex, Rapid Pro, Rapid Daily and FNL:003 accounts close after 5 rewards, and each reward is capped (e.g. $1,200 on a 50K Rapid).
  • Flex and Legacy pay out only up to 50% of profit per cycle, and Legacy's split is 80%.
  • No overnight holds; everything is closed by 3:10 pm CT, earlier than most futures firms.
  • Only the Tradovate route is offered (NinjaTrader and TradingView connect through Tradovate), with no Rithmic option.
  • Up to 3.5% processing fee on every reward.
  • Live transition is discretionary and closes all open challenge accounts without refund.

Programs and prices

List prices as shown on FundedNext Futures's site on Sep 23, 2026. Firms discount constantly, so the price you pay is often lower. The rules are what matter: they are the same at any price. The drawdown shown is for the stage you buy (the evaluation, or the funded account on straight-to-funded plans); where the funded stage locks or moves differently, the drawdown detail under each table says so.

Flex

Evaluation 1-step One-time fee

Lowest targets, no daily loss limit, 95% reward share; withdraw up to 50% of profit every 5 benchmark days, account ends after 5 rewards.

Funded stage and payouts

What funded means here
FundedNext Account: a simulated account that pays 'Performance Rewards' from simulated profits. Selected traders move to the FundedNext Live Trading Program with real capital.
Profit split
Flex 95%, Legacy 80%, Rapid Pro and Rapid Daily 90%, FNL:003 90%. Live (Flex/Rapid path): 100% of the first $5,000 in cumulative withdrawals, then 90/10.
How often you can withdraw
Flex and Legacy: every 5 benchmark days. Rapid Pro: every 3 days. Rapid Daily: daily once eligible. Processing guaranteed within 24 hours or FundedNext adds $1,000 to the reward. Live: daily withdrawals.
Minimum payout
$250 per reward (FNL:003: $800); each cycle also needs $500 profit. Live: $100.
Payout cap
Per reward: Flex up to 50% of profit, max $1,500 / $2,500 / $4,000; Legacy up to 50%, max $3,000 (25K) or $6,000 (50K/100K) until 30 benchmark days, then uncapped; Rapid Pro and Daily $800 / $1,200 / $2,500; FNL:003 $1,200. Flex, Rapid Pro, Rapid Daily and FNL:003 accounts conclude after 5 rewards.
What you must do first
Benchmark days (Flex $200/day on 50K-100K, $250 on 150K; Legacy $100 on 25K, $200 on 50K-100K), $500 cycle profit, Rapid Pro 40% consistency, Rapid Daily buffer (start + MLL + $100), FNL:003 $2,100 buffer and 20% perpetual consistency. KYC before first reward. Micro-scalping at or above 40% of cycle profit blocks rewards. Processing fee of up to 3.5% on every reward.
Path to a live account
Flex and Rapid Pro/Daily (and Rapid bought after July 10, 2026): 15 Performance Rewards puts a trader in a discretionary live review pool; if selected, up to 5 funded accounts with at least one payout become live accounts (starting balance $1,500 / $2,000 / $3,000 / $4,500 for 25K / 50K / 100K / 150K, MLL starting at $0, no DLL), all open challenge accounts are closed without refund, and a breach means a 2-week cooldown before re-entry. Legacy (and older Rapid): review at $100,000 total active profits; 80% of simulated profit is split into a 50% settlement withdrawal, a 25% live deposit (capped at $50,000) and a reserve.
Ongoing fees
No activation fee and no monthly fee at any stage; the challenge fee is one-time. Rewards carry a processing fee of up to 3.5%. Live traders are classified as professional and pay exchange market data monthly through Tradovate.
