Real talk
What traders actually experience beyond the marketing copy.
Good for automation/bot traders (allowed on all accounts). 91% off promos make it dirt cheap. Two option types give flexibility. But: copy trading prohibited, high activation fees, no resets, monthly pricing is expensive without promos.
Option 1 and 2 have SAME dollar drawdown but completely different mechanics. Opt1 intraday trailing = floor moves up with unrealized P&L tick by tick. Opt2 EOD trailing = only updates at session close. Know which you're buying.
100% on first $10K is competitive. First 3 payouts are capped ($1K-$2.5K). After 3rd payout: unlimited. $78 mid-cycle reset available. Free reset on billing renewal date. Activation fees are high ($98-$898).
Copy trading PROHIBITED. No resets. High activation fees ($98-$898). Opt1 intraday trailing is unforgiving. Monthly pricing is expensive without promos. Max 11 active funded accounts.
Large, well-funded firm (backed by a regulated broker). Strong for forex; futures is a separate product line.
Trailing DD until initial balance is reached, then locks. This is more forgiving than pure trailing.
80/20 first, then 90/10 scaling is solid. 14-day payouts are fine but slower than some competitors.
For futures, use FundedNext Futures (separate entry). Base FundedNext is forex-first. Data preliminary — verify on site.
