What makes up that score
Scored by Ayub Rana against our published methodology.
FundedNext is a Dubai-based CFD prop firm selling Stellar 2-step and 1-step evaluations from $59.99 (6K) to $1,099.99 (200K), plus a cheaper Stellar Lite line from $32.99 and instant-funding accounts from $59. Funded traders start at an 80% profit split (up to 95% via paid add-on) and the flagship Stellar 2-step uses a static 10% maximum drawdown with a 5% daily limit and no consistency rule. The firm advertises a 24-hour payout guarantee backed by a $1,000 penalty, with an average processing time it reports at around 40 hours or less. News trading is not restricted in its public terms.

Rules
The rules that actually get traders breached: what they are and how this firm sets them.
| Rule | FundedNext | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Drawdown type | Static | Trailing drawdown follows your equity peak and is the #1 cause of surprise breaches; static drawdown is fixed from starting balance and far more forgiving. |
| Consistency rule | 40% cap per day | Caps how much of your total profit can come from a single day. A strict cap can delay or void payouts for traders with a few big wins. |
| News trading | Allowed | Some firms void trades placed around high-impact news releases, which is critical if you trade NFP, CPI, or rate decisions. |
| Expert advisors (EAs) | Allowed | Determines whether automated strategies and copiers are permitted, and whether an EA can get your account flagged. |
| Minimum trading days | 5 days | The floor on how fast you can pass a phase, which matters if you trade infrequently or want to pass quickly. |
| Weekend / overnight holding | Allowed | Swing traders need positions to survive the Friday close. Where holding is barred, open trades are closed for you and gaps cannot be traded. |
| Copy trading | Allowed | Decides whether you can mirror one strategy across several accounts. Most firms that allow it restrict it to accounts you own yourself. |
| High-frequency trading | Not allowed | Firms police latency arbitrage and tick scalping hard, and an HFT breach is one of the most common reasons a passed account is voided. |
