Funded Trading Plus
Forex / CFD
A London firm founded in late 2021 and bought by Instant Funding in May 2026, Funded Trading Plus pays every 7 days on its 1-Step Express and Instant programs, with the split rising from 80 to 100% and scaling up to $5 million. The catch: intraday trailing drawdown on both, and a Trustpilot score the platform has pulled.

Our analysis
What you pay to start
FundedNext Futures opens at $69.99 against $89 for Funded Trading Plus, a moderate gap on the smallest account. At the reference size of 100 K the comparison is $549 for Funded Trading Plus against $129.99 for FundedNext Futures. The headline fee is rarely the real cost, though: what matters is the price of a reset after a failed attempt, whether the fee comes back on the first payout, and whether an activation fee appears when you move to a funded account. Compare those three lines in the table above before deciding on price alone.
Drawdown: the rule that decides
Funded Trading Plus applies a trailing intraday drawdown capped at 6 %, with a 4 % daily limit. FundedNext Futures applies a trailing (end of day) drawdown capped at 4 %, with a 2 % daily limit. This is the single most consequential difference between the two. A static drawdown is measured once, from the starting balance, and never moves; a trailing drawdown follows your equity upward, so a winning streak raises the floor you can no longer fall below. Intraday trailing is stricter still, because it tracks unrealised peaks reached inside the session — profit you never actually banked can permanently raise your loss threshold.
What reaches your account
Funded Trading Plus keeps 100 % of profits, then pays Tous les 7 jours sur 1-Step Express et Instant ; tous les 10 jours sur 2-Step Classic. FundedNext Futures keeps 95 % of profits, then pays quotidien (Rapid Daily), tous les 3 jours (Rapid Pro), tous les 5 jours de reference (Flex et Legacy). Payout frequency deserves as much attention as the split itself: a slightly lower share paid every two weeks compounds faster than a headline percentage locked behind a monthly cycle and a long first-withdrawal delay.
Where you actually trade
Funded Trading Plus is the only one of the two to offer mt5, ctrader, dxtrade, match-trader. FundedNext Futures covers tradovate, ninjatrader, tradingview, which its rival does not. Platform choice is not cosmetic: order execution, available order types and the reliability of your automation all depend on it, and switching mid-evaluation is rarely possible.
