FundedNext vs MyFundedFutures
Which of these two is likelier to end your account, and why — compared rule by rule from what each firm publishes.
Short answer
- The drawdown works differently, and that is the difference that matters. FundedNext's loss limit is fixed to your starting balance and never moves; MyFundedFutures' follows your equity tick by tick, unrealised profit included. MyFundedFutures: Open profit you give back raises that floor permanently, so it can breach you at a level that did not exist an hour earlier.
- MyFundedFutures sets no daily loss limit; FundedNext caps a single day at 5%.
- Minimum trading days: FundedNext no minimum, MyFundedFutures 1 day — this sets the earliest you can finish, however fast you hit the target.
- Overnight and weekend: FundedNext lets you hold; MyFundedFutures requires you flat before the session closes, so a swing plan does not fit it.
- Entry cost: FundedNext from $32, MyFundedFutures from $50.

| Evaluation Parameter | FundedNext | MyFundedFutures |
|---|---|---|
| Asset Class / Market | MULTI-ASSET | FUTURES |
| Drawdown Calculation Type | Static Balance-Based The 10% limit is fixed to your starting balance and never moves up with profit. Static on Stellar 1-Step (6%), 2-Step (10%) and Lite (8%); Stellar Instant is the exception and trails. |
Intraday Trailing (Equity High-Water Mark) once funded Pro trails end-of-day in both stages and Builder's floor stops moving once it reaches $0 on the live account, but the firm counts open unrealised losses toward a breach even in the stages it labels end-of-day. On Rapid the max-loss line chases your live equity high, unrealised profit included, once you are funded; during the evaluation it only moves at the close. |
| Max Daily Loss | 5.0% Measured on equity - realised and unrealised P&L plus swap and commission - and resets at 00:00 server time. |
None (No Daily Limit) |
| Max Overall Loss | 10.0% 10% is the Stellar 2-Step figure; the firm's rules page lists 6% for 1-Step, 8% for Lite and 6% trailing for Instant. |
4.0% 4% is the $25K and $50K accounts ($1,000 and $2,000); the $100K and $150K accounts stop at $3,000 and $4,500, which is 3%. |
| Profit Split | 80% - 95% | 90% - 100% |
| Minimum Trading Days | 0 Days | 1 Days |
| News Trading Policy | ✓ Unrestricted during the Challenge; on funded accounts only 40% of profit made in the 10-minute high-impact news window is credited while losses count in full | ✓ News trading fully permitted during open market sessions |
| Weekend & Overnight Holding | ✓ Permitted (Weekend and overnight holding allowed across Stellar models) | ✗ Flat by Close (Futures day trading only; open positions are auto-closed at 4:10 PM EST (New York session close) on regular days, but on holiday half-sessions that auto-close does not fire and you must flatten yourself or the account is breached) |
| Supported Platforms | MT4, MT5, cTrader, Match-Trader | Tradovate, TradingView, NinjaTrader, Quantower, Fintevo, Deep Chart |
| Payout Schedule | Every 14 days after a 21-day first trading cycle The 14-day cycle only starts after the 21-day first cycle, and only continues if you made profit and requested a withdrawal in the previous cycle. |
Daily — every 24 hours once funded and above the buffer Rapid pays out every qualifying trading day; Pro pays bi-weekly and Builder every 48 hours while sim-funded, daily once live. |
| First Payout Eligibility | 21 days (end of the first Stellar 2-Step trading cycle) 21 days applies to Stellar 2-Step; Stellar 1-Step runs a 5-business-day cycle from the very first one. |
No fixed waiting period; payable as soon as the realised-profit buffer is cleared ($2,100 on the $50K account) Pro instead unlocks at 14 days from your first trade or when the buffer clears, whichever is later, and Builder needs the buffer plus 2 qualifying days plus $500 of net profit above it ($250 on the $25K account). |
| Consistency Rule | None by default; 40% best-day gate if the On-Demand Rewards add-on is bought The 40% gate blocks the payout request itself, not just the payment, and applies no matter how profitable the account is. |
40% consistency rule on Expert accounts |

What can end the account even if you are profitable
These are the rules people usually find out about after a payout is refused.
- FundedNext: If you bought the On-Demand Rewards add-on and your single best day made more than 40% of your total profit, FundedNext will not even let you submit a withdrawal request until you trade more days and bring that share back under 40%. source
- FundedNext: Once you are funded, FundedNext credits you only 40% of any profit you make within 5 minutes either side of a high-impact news release but charges you 100% of any loss in that same window. source
- FundedNext: You may copy trades only between your own Challenge accounts or only between your own Instant accounts; the moment a funded account or another person's account is on either side, or you use a service like Social Trader Tools or Duplikum, FundedNext can warn you or terminate the account. source
- FundedNext: If you hedge by buying an instrument on one of your FundedNext accounts and selling the same instrument on another, that counts as prohibited group hedging and both accounts can be terminated. source
- FundedNext: Running a grid bot that stacks buy and sell orders at set intervals above and below the market is a banned strategy, and FundedNext can terminate the account, refuse the profit reward, or ban you permanently. source
- FundedNext: Do not build a strategy around the thin market between 00:00 and 02:00 server time: if your trading looks like it consistently milks that settlement window, FundedNext can review the account, cancel those trades, or close the account. source
- FundedNext: Place 200 or more trades, or send 2,000 or more server messages, in a single day and that day counts as a hyperactivity violation - three of them breach the account, and 15,000 messages in one day disables it immediately. source
- FundedNext: Letting anyone else trade or log into your account, or selling the account on, is treated as a zero-tolerance breach and can cost you the account, the payout, or your access to FundedNext for good. source
- FundedNext: Buying several evaluation accounts back-to-back and deliberately burning some to pass others is monitored as account rolling, and FundedNext can block you from buying new accounts or cut your lifetime allocation limit. source
- FundedNext: Place no trade for 60 straight days on any FundedNext CFD account and it is deactivated, and the firm says that 60-day clock cannot be extended for any reason. source
- FundedNext: On a Stellar 2-Step funded account you cannot request your first payout until the end of day 21 of your first trading cycle, no matter how much profit is sitting there. source
- MyFundedFutures: Once you are funded on Rapid or Pro you may not hold a position or leave any order sitting in the market, resting limit orders included, from two minutes before a Tier-1 release to two minutes after it — FOMC meetings and minutes, the Employment Report and CPI, plus EIA numbers for energy traders and the Agricultural reports for grain traders — so a release at 8:30 means flat by 8:28:00 and nothing back on until 8:32:00; the same trade is allowed on evaluations and on Builder accounts, and the firm's page states the ban without spelling out the penalty. source
- MyFundedFutures: You may not copy another trader by entering, exiting or cancelling positions in step with them, the way signal and mentorship groups often do, and the firm can permanently bar you from its services for it rather than just voiding the trades. source
- MyFundedFutures: You may not hold a buy and a sell on the same underlying market at the same time — being long Micro Nasdaq while short E-mini Nasdaq counts as the same market — and the firm treats it as a fair-play violation that can end your agreement and confiscate your profits. source
- MyFundedFutures: High-frequency trading is banned on every plan with no published speed or frequency threshold to measure yourself against, and being flagged for it can terminate your agreement, confiscate your profits and fail your evaluation. source
- MyFundedFutures: You must trade from a device no other trader uses — a mentor and student sharing one laptop, phone or tablet breaks the rule — and it is treated as a prohibited practice that can permanently restrict the accounts involved. source
- MyFundedFutures: If an order is rejected around the 4:10 PM EST close, do not keep resubmitting it: one of those retries occasionally fills after the close, and the firm disqualifies the account for it even though you never meant to trade late. source
- MyFundedFutures: On holiday-shortened trading days the automatic 4:10 PM EST flatten does not run, so you have to close your own positions before the early close or the account is breached. source
- MyFundedFutures: On the Builder plan you cannot request your first payout until you have cleared the buffer ($2,100, or $1,600 with the add-on, on the $50K account), traded on at least 2 qualifying days, and banked at least $500 of net profit on top of that buffer ($250 on the $25K account) — there is no fixed date at which it simply becomes available. source
