Real talk
What traders actually experience beyond the marketing copy.
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.
Newer firm with solid fundamentals. The built-in automation tools differentiate it. No DLL, EOD trailing, 90/10 split. Payout caps first 3 months are the main friction.
EOD trailing with lock at starting + $100 is standard and fair. No DLL is a plus.
Payout caps during first 3 months ($1,500-$2K) slow down early earnings. Max 2 payouts per month. 90/10 is standard.
Payout caps first 3 months. Launched 2024 - still proving itself. Pricing not fully published. 30% Apprentice consistency is tight.
