FundedNext account sizes & per-size rules

The full FundedNext size ladder

Prop pricing scales sub-linearly with account size — roughly the square root of the size ratio — so the biggest account is almost never the best value per dollar of usable buffer. Each line below shows the modelled list price, the first-phase profit target and the loss buffer expressed as a percentage of the account.

Read the buffer column first. On a static drawdown, the dollar buffer is the only number that limits your position size; the account label is marketing. A trader risking 1% per trade on the 200k account is taking the same dollar risk as one risking 20× that percentage on the smallest.

• 10k — $300 ($270 with the public code), 10% target = $1k, 10% buffer = $1k of loss room
• 25k — $475 ($428 with the public code), 10% target = $2.5k, 10% buffer = $2.5k of loss room
• 50k — $670 ($603 with the public code), 10% target = $5k, 10% buffer = $5k of loss room
• 100k — $945 ($851 with the public code), 10% target = $10k, 10% buffer = $10k of loss room
• 200k — $1.3k ($1.2k with the public code), 10% target = $20k, 10% buffer = $20k of loss room

Which FundedNext size is actually the best value

Cost per dollar of loss buffer is the honest comparison. 10k costs 0.300 per dollar of buffer; 25k costs 0.190 per dollar of buffer; 50k costs 0.134 per dollar of buffer; 100k costs 0.095 per dollar of buffer; 200k costs 0.067 per dollar of buffer. The cheapest ratio is where the firm is subsidising you the most, and it is usually a mid tier rather than the flagship.

The second filter is your own stop distance. Work out the worst-case dollar loss of a normal trade at your usual size, multiply by five consecutive losers, and buy the smallest account whose buffer absorbs that without breaching. Buying above that point is paying for headroom you will never trade into; buying below it guarantees a reset fee.

What the 25k and 50k tiers mean in practice

The small tiers are where most traders start and where most resets happen, because the dollar buffer is small enough that a single mis-sized position ends the account. On a forex account, one standard lot on EURUSD moves about $10 per pip — on a 25k account, a 40-pip stop on two lots is already a meaningful share of your buffer.

The larger tiers change the psychology more than the maths. Same rules, same percentage targets, bigger dollar swings — which is why traders who pass consistently on a small account often breach the first week on a large one. Scale the account only after you have taken at least two payouts at the size below.

• Static drawdown: Maximum loss is measured from the starting balance and never trails your equity. Profits you bank are permanently added to your cushion.
• No consistency rule on the core models: You can withdraw a month's profit even if most of it came from two sessions — a genuine advantage over the futures firms and over rivals that cap daily contribution.
• Minimum trading days vary by model: Some FundedNext models drop the minimum-days requirement entirely while others keep a five-day floor. The model you buy determines the fastest possible path to funded.

Rules that stay the same at every size

Firms rarely vary the rulebook by account size — they vary the dollar limits. On FundedNext the constants are the static drawdown, the 95% profit split, the bi-weekly, on-demand after first payout window and the consistency position (none).

• News trading: conditionally allowed — Allowed on most models; the Stellar 2-Step restricts entries inside the news window on the funded stage.
• EAs: allowed — EAs allowed on all models except HFT-style latency systems.
• Weekend holding: allowed — Weekend holding is permitted across the model range.
• Time limit: none — Unlimited trading period on the Stellar models.
