FundedNext $25K Futures Rapid Daily Account Rules
Exact dollar thresholds, breach math, and verified sources for this tier.
All-In Cost to First Payout
Sticker price vs real cost — All-In Quantitative Fee Model
If you pass first try
Assumes pass on first attempt. Add 1–2 resets for realistic avg (FPFX: only 7% get payout).
Realistic (1 reset avg)
Non-refundable — every reset is sunk cost
Assumes 1 reset(s). Data fees vary by platform. FPFX base rate: ~7% ever get payout — budget for resets.
Methodology: challenge + resets + activation + data + add-ons − documented refund. Futures add $38/mo data + $149 activation where applicable. We never hide reset cost behind “bonus” language.
RISK ANALYSIS
How Can I Fail This Account?
Before spending capital on this evaluation, these are the exact mathematical and operational tripwires that disqualify traders on this specific model.
EOD Floor Steps Up Behind You
Only your daily close moves the maximum-loss floor — intraday peaks bank nothing, but every closing high permanently tightens your room. Grinding up slowly then holding losers overnight is how EOD accounts die.
30-Day Inactivity Forfeiture
30 consecutive days without a trade = automatic lock and revoked credentials. Many pass the evaluation and pause before the next step, losing all progress.
Withdrawal Gates Bite After Passing
Daily rewards once eligible; max $800 per cycle on 25K; daily loss = $500 soft breach (pause till next session, resets 5:00 PM CT)
Banned Patterns Pass Silently, Fail at Payout
Grid, martingale, all-in sizing, copied signals, and cross-account hedging often trigger no dashboard warning during evaluation — the review lands when you request real money.
COMPLETE RULEBOOK
Every Rule on This Account
Daily drawdown, max drawdown, targets, trading days, payouts, news, holding, automation, inactivity — each rule translated to this 25,000 account's exact dollar numbers.
Daily Loss Limit: 2% ($500/day)
Touching the daily cap does NOT kill this account — trading pauses for the rest of the session and resumes the next day. The cap resets at 5:00 PM CT, not midnight server time. The lifetime EOD-trailing max still applies underneath.
Maximum Loss: 4% (floor starts at $24,000)
End-of-day trailing: only your daily CLOSE moves the floor. It steps up on closing highs, never loosens, and locks at $25,000. Intraday peaks bank nothing. Across the whole lifetime of the account, equity can never print below the current floor.
Profit Target: 6% ($1,500)
Bank $1,500 from the starting balance to pass. Measured on closed-trade profit — floating P&L does not count until you close.
No Minimum Trading Days
Hit the target in a single session and you pass — no forced grinding. Discipline still applies: every other rule (drawdown, consistency where active, strategy bans) is fully enforced on that one day.
Payouts: Daily (1-day cadence) · 90% split
Daily rewards once eligible; max $800 per cycle on 25K; daily loss = $500 soft breach (pause till next session, resets 5:00 PM CT). Your share of every approved withdrawal is 90%.
News Trading: Allowed
News trading allowed across all Futures models with no timing or event-type restrictions
Flat Before Close — No Overnight, No Weekend
Every position must be closed before the market close. Being in a trade past the close is itself a rule violation — independent of profit or loss. Swing strategies built for CFD holding will breach here by habit, not by P&L.
Expert Advisors / Bots: Allowed
Automation is permitted — but verify whether your firm requires a paid add-on, platform restriction (MT4/MT5 only at some firms), or bot registration before the first automated trade. Unauthorized automation is a standalone violation.
Copy Trading & Hedging Boundaries
Copy trading involving a funded account (either direction), third-party signals, and for-hire account management are prohibited. Cross-account and correlated-instrument hedging are banned.
Inactivity: 30 Days
Place at least one trade every 30 consecutive days or the account is automatically deactivated — no warning email, no extension. This kills more passed evaluations than any market move: traders pass, take a break, and return to revoked credentials.
Consistency Rule Active
None — Rapid Daily skips consistency entirely
Markets, Leverage & Platforms
Trade CME Futures. Leverage: 2 mini or 20 micro max. Platforms: Tradovate.
