FundedNext
Forex / CFD · Futures · Crypto · Trustpilot 4.5/5
On the forex and CFD side, FundedNext runs just two routes: Stellar 1-Step (10% target, 6% max loss) and Stellar 2-Step (8% then 5%, 10% max loss). Both use static drawdown, carry no deadline and come with refundable fees. Pricing is on the high side, and the headline 95% split needs a paid option — the contractual base is 80%.

Our analysis
Trust and longevity
On Trustpilot they sit at 4.5/5 and 4.5/5 respectively. Our trust pillar scores them 81/100 and 81/100, which weighs age, corporate transparency and public payout evidence. In an industry with no financial regulator overseeing these evaluations, longevity and a verifiable payout history are the closest thing to a guarantee.
Entry cost
FundedNext opens at $59.99 against $69.99 for FundedNext Futures, a moderate gap on the smallest account. At the reference size of 100 K the comparison is $549.99 for FundedNext 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.
Risk rules side by side
FundedNext applies a static drawdown capped at 10 %, with a 5 % 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.
Payout terms compared
FundedNext keeps 95 % of profits, allows a first withdrawal after 5 days, then pays Stellar 1-Step : premier retrait apres 5 jours ouvres puis tous les 5 jours ouvres. Stellar 2-Step : premier retrait a 21 jours puis tous les 14 jours. 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.
Platforms and instruments
FundedNext is the only one of the two to offer mt4, mt5, ctrader, 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.
