FundedNext Futures

FundedNext Futures offers four challenge models - Rapid, Legacy, Bolt, and the new Flex - each designed for CME futures traders with different risk profiles and trading styles. There are no monthly fees or activation charges. Use promo code PF at checkout to save 5% on your challenge fee.

All accounts operate in a simulated trading environment using demo accounts with real CME pricing. The models differ in profit targets, loss limits, consistency rules, and contract sizing, giving traders the flexibility to choose a program that matches their approach.

Rapid Challenge

The Rapid model uses end-of-day trailing loss limits that lock at the starting balance once you hit the profit target. No consistency rule applies during the Challenge.

Legacy Challenge

Legacy uses end-of-day trailing loss limits that lock at the starting balance. A 40% consistency rule applies during the Challenge Phase, and Legacy FundedNext Accounts require 5 benchmark days before withdrawal.

Bolt Challenge

Bolt is a $50K-only product. It uses a fixed daily aggregate loss limit and a trailing MLL that locks at starting balance + $100. The daily loss limit includes floating losses, closed losses, commissions and fees - hitting it creates a soft breach that disables trading for the rest of the day. A 40% consistency rule applies during the Challenge.

Flex Challenge New

Flex is FundedNext's most affordable one-time-fee model. It uses lower profit targets, an EOD trailing drawdown, no daily loss limit, and no buffer rule. A 40% consistency rule applies only during the Challenge Phase - not on the FundedNext Account. A 90% Reward Split Add-On is available for $14.99 (50K), $24.99 (100K) or $34.99 (150K).

Consistency Rule by Model

The 40% consistency rule limits the highest single-day profit to 40% of total profit. How it applies depends on the model and the stage.

How the Challenges Work

To pass a FundedNext Futures challenge, you need to reach the profit target for your chosen model while staying within the loss limits. The MLL is end-of-day based, updates once daily, moves up with profit, and never moves down with losses. Rapid and Legacy MLLs lock at the starting balance; Bolt and Flex lock at starting balance + $100.

You can trade both mini and micro contracts. The mini-to-micro ratio differs by model: Bolt 1:3, Rapid 1:5, Legacy 1:10, and Flex 1:10. Contract limits are fixed and do not increase with profit.

All positions must be closed by 3:10 PM CT each trading day - any positions left open are auto-closed. Trading resumes at 5:00 PM CT, and after the weekend trading resumes Sunday at 5:00 PM CT. EAs and bots are allowed on both the Challenge Phase and FundedNext Accounts, but HFT, latency abuse, order flooding and similarly exploitative strategies are prohibited.

Futures Trading Rules

FundedNext has a detailed set of trading restrictions aimed at keeping the evaluation realistic. These rules apply during both the challenge and funded stages unless noted.

Futures Account Allocation

Maximum Challenge allocation is $700,000, and traders can purchase up to 15 Challenges per month. FundedNext Accounts are capped at 5 active accounts per user/household. Contract limits are fixed and do not scale with profit - if you want more contracts, you size up by funding a larger account.

Bolt FundedNext Accounts keep the same 3 minis / 9 micros limit as the Challenge. Rapid scales up from Challenge to FN Account (e.g. $100K Rapid goes from 5/25 in Challenge to 7/35 in FN Account), and Legacy scales similarly (e.g. $100K Legacy goes from 5/50 to 7/70). Flex keeps the same limits across both stages.

FundedNext Futures has a simple, upfront cost structure. You pay a one-time fee to enter the challenge, and there are no activation fees or monthly charges applied after the initial purchase or when moving to a FundedNext Account.

Challenge Entry Fees

Challenge fees vary by model and account size. The table below shows current prices across all four models.

Flex 90% Reward Split Add-On

Flex accounts can be upgraded from the standard 80% Reward Share to 90% via an optional add-on at checkout.

There is only a one-time Challenge fee. There is no activation fee when you move to a FundedNext Account, and no monthly charges. All purchases and resets are non-refundable.

FundedNext Futures gives traders access to a focused range of CME Group products, covering the major futures asset classes: currencies, equity indices, metals, energy, and agriculture. The selection is built around high-volume contracts that most traders already prioritize.

Both mini and micro contract sizing are available. The mini-to-micro ratio differs by model: Bolt 1:3, Rapid 1:5, Legacy 1:10, and Flex 1:10.

Contract Sizing

Each model has its own mini-to-micro ratio. The table below summarises the Challenge-stage limits for each account size.

Contract limits are fixed and do not increase with profit. If you want to trade more contracts, you size up by funding a larger account, not by scaling an existing one.

FundedNext Futures supports three trading platforms: Tradovate, NinjaTrader, and TradingView. Traders can select the platform that best matches their workflow when purchasing a Challenge.

EAs and Automation

EAs and bots are allowed on both the Challenge Phase and on FundedNext Accounts. FundedNext does not provide setup support and traders remain responsible for technical issues. HFT, latency abuse, order flooding and other exploitative strategies are still prohibited.

FundedNext Futures supports a range of payment options for challenge purchases, and processes Performance Rewards within 24 hours of the dashboard withdrawal request.

Challenge Fee Payments

Payments can be made using most major cards, including Visa and Mastercard, as well as digital wallets like PayPal, Skrill, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and AstroPay. FundedNext also accepts a wide selection of cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Solana, USDT, and USDC.

Profit Payouts and Reward Share

Standard Reward Share is 80% across all four models. Flex can be upgraded to 90% with the optional Reward Split Add-On at checkout ($14.99 / $24.99 / $34.99 for the 50K / 100K / 150K).

FundedNext processes Performance Rewards within 24 hours of the dashboard withdrawal request. If they miss that window, an additional $1,000 is added to the payout - excluding cases where the delay is due to incorrect withdrawal details or external payment provider delays.

Withdrawal Methods

Withdrawal options are crypto- and RiseWorks-based:

KYC and Account Activation

KYC is only required before your first Performance Reward withdrawal. After passing the Challenge and signing the agreement you can move into a FundedNext Account, then complete KYC before withdrawing. Verification typically takes 24-48 hours after documents are submitted.

Support is one area where FundedNext Futures has prioritized responsiveness from day one. Traders have access to 24/7 live support, making it easy to resolve issues quickly, whether it's account access, platform problems, or questions about trading rules.

Customer Support

Live chat is the fastest way to get help. It's built into the FundedNext website and available around the clock. You simply choose "Futures" from the options, describe your issue, and a support agent will assist you directly. For more complex queries or anything requiring documentation, you can email the FundedNext Futures team.

Response times are fast, and support staff are familiar with both the challenge structure and futures-specific questions. That's important for traders working across different time zones or facing time-sensitive issues during trading hours.

Educational Materials

The Futures Help Centre now covers platforms, rules, payouts, KYC and each challenge model in detail. There's no dedicated futures learning portal yet, but the operational guidance is comprehensive and answers most rule and account questions.

FundedNext has a history of building out community-driven content through Discord and YouTube under its CFD division, and it's likely the futures side will follow the same path as the brand grows.

FundedNext Futures is a division of the established FundedNext brand. It provides simulated trading challenges using demo accounts with real CME pricing. While the futures arm is still growing its own identity, it benefits from the systems, support, and reputation already built by FundedNext's core operation.

Trading Community

FundedNext Futures does not operate a separate community for its futures traders at this stage. Instead, traders are supported through the main FundedNext brand channels, including Discord, YouTube, and social media.

The larger FundedNext community covers a mix of futures and CFD content, but it's primarily geared around the company as a whole rather than the futures program specifically. While the futures division is new, the infrastructure is already in place for education, announcements, and community support as the trader base grows.

Restricted Countries

FundedNext Futures is available in most regions, but access is restricted in some countries due to regulatory and compliance concerns. Notably, this includes several markets like Canada, Malta, Cyprus (North), Slovenia, and Romania. Traders from these countries won't be able to participate at this time.
