Real talk
What traders actually experience beyond the marketing copy.
Most restrictive firm overall. 80/20 split, $4K withdrawal cap, 30% consistency on eval, 2.2% daily loss limit, copy/automation prohibited. But: TCP free monthly resets and scaling to $400K are genuinely unique. Widest platform support. Very reputable.
EOD trailing on eval/LiveSim is fair. But Live funded switches to intraday trailing. Most traders stay on LiveSim to avoid this.
80/20 split is the worst in the industry. $4K max per withdrawal on LiveSim. Email-based process feels outdated. Live account data fees ~$140/mo per exchange make live transition expensive.
80/20 split (worst in industry). $4K max withdrawal. Copy trading PROHIBITED. Automation PROHIBITED. 2.2% daily loss limit. Live account data fees ~$140/mo. Email-based payout process.
Legitimate entry into the futures space backed by the larger FundedNext brand. Rules are trader-friendly. Newer product so track record is short — verify current state.
EOD trailing that locks at starting + $100 is trader-friendly — lets intraday swings breathe.
80/20 → 90/10 scaling with on-demand payouts after 10 days is competitive. Better than most.
Launched 2025 — still proving itself vs. established futures-native firms like Apex. Data here is preliminary — verify on fundednext.com/futures before purchasing.
